At that moment, several guards wanted to do something about the situation, so they zoomed their way
to Rocky's side. However, just when they were about to reach him, the masked man clad in the red
robe waved his hand without warning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, a series of deafening noises started bombarding everyone around. Soon after, those
guards were all turned into ashes.
The other guards who didn't pursue Rocky were all taken aback from what they had witnessed. Fear
shrouded them as they took a few steps back out of horror.
"You're nothing but a bunch of annoying losers. Get out of here! This does not concern you, and it's
none of your business." The masked man waved his hand once more, making it clear to everyone that
he didn't want anyone to get in the way with his current deal with Rocky.
Seeing this, the guards had no other choice but to fall back and one of them dared to take a single step
forward.
"You must be from the spiritual race. Am I right? If so, then why did you lead the army to attack the
Holy Dragon Empire?" Rocky asked the masked man straightforwardly.
"It's because...because of you. Because I'm going to end your life. Ha-ha!" At that moment, it seemed
that the masked man was already spiraling out of control as he laughed out loud like a possessed
lunatic. When Rocky heard what the masked man said, his eyes narrowed immediately.
"What? Do you have any grudges against me? I can't seem to figure out why you had to try so hard just
to lure me out." At that moment, he was so sure that the man was coming for him.
"So, Basil, how's Lena? Are you two happy together? That's just sad because she will lose you very
soon. And when that happens, she will come rushing back to me..." the masked man said coldly, with a
strong sense of jealousy in his eyes.
However, Rocky's eyes grew wider upon the words. He was stunned because he knew that no one
would speak in such a tone except for the dead Alston.
"Who the hell are you?" Rocky frowned.
"Give me a break. I thought you were smart enough to know who I am," the masked man said as he
suddenly dashed towards Rocky at lightning speed.
Clang!
In the blink of an eye, a ferocious saber, which looked like a mass of a hundred evil beasts, instantly
collided with Rocky's Frozen Wind Dagger, turning it into a strong Flaming Blade. At that moment, the
two people were only half a meter away from each other.
"Alston!" Rocky shouted. Shock crept his face the moment he recognized who this mysterious man
was.
"Ha-ha, can you imagine? I'm not dead! Not only am I still alive, but I also have the body of a spiritual
race being that surpasses human's," Alston said as he laughed grimly.
No one had ever expected that the masked man in the red robe was Alston. He was presumed to be
dead right after Reginald withdrew his soul. Now, Alston came back to life as a member of the spiritual
race, which deeply surprised everyone!
Soon after, strong auras of the Divine Stage burst out from both Rocky and Alston at the same time,
which continuously increased every passing second.
Not long after, a deafening bang shook the entire area!
The Evil Spirit Saber held by Alston and the Frozen Wind Dagger in Rocky's hands respectively broke
out a strong force of spiritual power at the same time. After the two forces clashed with each other
violently, spiritual waves surged within a hundred meters, making sand and stones fly in the air.
The guards, despite being far away from the two, were still greatly affected. In fact, the impact was so
strong that it killed or injured most of them in an instant.
The guards who survived, including the Deputy Commander in Chief, were too shocked to see this that
they hurried back to safety to avoid such violent waves.
Meanwhile, both Rocky and Alston took a step back, as if they were at a stalemate.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful now. I guess I have been gone for too long." Alston raised his
eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that Rocky, who was only at the preliminary grade of the Divine
Stage, would have that kind of strength to compete with him again.
"Likewise, Alston." Without a doubt, Rocky was also very astonished to see Alston become a spiritual
race being. Now, he could clearly feel that they were equally matched, and this was another challenge
for him. At that time, he realized that this man was no longer the Alston who could be easily defeated
back then.
"Mind if we call it a day?" Out of nowhere, Alston burst into laughter, leading his aura to increase again.
At the same time, he waved the Evil Spirit Saber in his hand and cut through the air. All of a sudden,
the savage spiritual power transformed into a ferocious ghost, pouncing on Rocky at tremendous
speed.
Boom!
Without warning, the spiritual power instantly erupted on Rocky's body, causing clouds of dust to rise in
the air, and the spiritual power to roar in fury.
Not long after, Rocky flew out from the dust, wearing the Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf Armor. Despite the
staggering strength of Alston's attack, Rocky still managed to survive. When he had acquired the
Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill, he also replicated the ice armor with a strong defensive power
from Robin. In addition, he also copied its high speed.
Therefore, after flying out, Rocky instantly appeared on Alston's right side. He widened his eyes and
shouted, "Entangle!"
Meanwhile, the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring on Rocky's finger suddenly shot out a spiritual shadow.
Soon after, it turned into countless spiritual threads that aimed to wrap Alston's body.
On the other hand, Alston saw this and immediately waved his saber as fast as he could to block the
incoming flying spiritual threads. However, his saber was not able to stop all the other flying spiritual
threads. Thus, some were able to bind Alston's hands and feet. It could be said that the power released
by the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring was equivalent to its holder's own strength. With that being
said, Alston was unable to break free from the spiritual threads that entangled his hands and feet and
blocked his movements.
Soon after, Rocky's left arm swelled up and shot out ferocious fire snakes at Alston at close range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Once again, the two people were shrouded in bright red light.
After the red light dissipated, the mask and the robe covering Alston's face and body had vanished. At
that moment, his ugly face and body, which were like those of a fish monster were revealed. He wore
slippery fish scales on his body, and his upper limbs resembled those of a lizard's rough palms. His
legs were slightly bent, which looked very bizarre.
As soon as Alston showed his true face, he let out a loud scream filled with anger. At the same time,
more violent spiritual power rushed out and he broke the spiritual threads that were entangling him.
Soon after, the Evil Spirit Saber in his hand cut through the air, causing the spiritual power to explode,
and a large bright saber shadow was manifest.
Meanwhile, Rocky saw this and didn't dare to take the saber attack head-on. Instead, he quickly took a
step back, while the huge saber shadow had fallen on the ground. It cracked the ground and created a
mind-crushing impact, allowing the powerful residual force to quickly rush towards Rocky.
Rocky, on the other hand, immediately raised the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring, summoning several
hexagonal light barriers in front of him.
After producing a muffled sound, the residual force instantly hit the hexagonal light barriers and broke
them, forcing Rocky to take a step back.
"Huh, the power of the spiritual race is really violent!" Rocky could not believe what he had seen.
Luckily, he was still protected by the ice armor. Otherwise, his life would be in danger.
Seeing that the previous blow was not enough to break through Rocky's defense, Alston became all
the more annoyed. Once again, he forced himself forward and engaged in close combat with Rocky.
With the power and body from the spiritual race being, Alston still believed that he would have the
upper hand, although Rocky was not at a disadvantage. At that point, the two came to realize that they
were so closely matched that their strength was very much the same.
However, in order to test Alston's primary strength, Rocky played fair. He could have summoned Uriah
and his other two beasts to assist him, but he chose not to. If the three beasts were in the picture, then
surely, Alston would never have any chance of winning.
At the same time, Alston's mysterious army had been disintegrated one by one under the leadership of
Isis and the other two women. Although this army was flocked by several masters at the medium and
premium grade of the Supernal Stage, they only found themselves frustrated and exhausted in front of
the three women who had already reached the Divine Stage.
As a result, the mysterious army began to collapse under the fierce counterattack of the Black Dragon
Group.
