Just as Uriel finished his words, however, the giant centipede-like beast suddenly turned and rushed
towards Tessa and her two companions.
"Damn it!" he cursed. Obviously, he hadn't expected that the beast would know how to choose a weak
target to attack. With the strength that Tessa and her companions had, it would be a miracle if they
could withstand even a single blow from the beast. Therefore, Uriel immediately wanted to rush to their
rescue.
Unfortunately, wherever the beast moved, dust rose in an instant, forming a barrier of sand around it
and blocking Uriel's rescue.
In less than a moment, the giant centipede had approached Tessa and her companions. The three of
them were trembling in fear and their faces had gone pale. As a spiritual beast of the King Realm, this
giant centipede was too strong for them to defeat!
"Run!" Miguel yelled in a shaky voice, then quickly retreated.
"Miss Tessa!" Ramon called immediately.
"It's too late to run," Tessa replied calmly. She frowned as she surveyed the situation. The giant
centipede was already too close to them. No matter how fast they ran, it would be impossible for them
to escape its grasp.
"You can't just stay here and wait for death! Come with me, Tessa," Miguel urged, rushing to her.
But just before he reached her, another figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her.
"I knew you would come." Tessa smiled with relief.
Just as she had expected, Rocky had materialized in front of her.
When he saw Rocky's sudden appearance, Miguel's face turned sour. This had been a great
opportunity for him to save Tessa and be the hero, but much to his annoyance, Rocky had taken it
ahead of him.
"Step back!" Rocky said seriously. In that moment, he looked strong and intimidating.
Tessa and Ramon were stunned. They were used to seeing Rocky always act frivolous and carefree,
so it was hard to get used to this serious side of him.
"Basil, what do you want to do? Don't be impulsive!" Tessa said anxiously.
"I'm going to kill it," Rocky replied coldly.
"You? Stop kidding around and look closely. That's a spiritual beast at the King Realm!" Miguel
sneered, stepping back.
"Basil, don't mess around. Even though you are at the King Realm now, this spiritual beast is definitely
stronger than you," Ramon chimed in.
However, Rocky ignored them and charged at the giant centipede as the speed of lightning.
On the other side, Uriel, who had just broken through the sand barrier, was also surprised to see that
Rocky was recklessly fighting the giant centipede head-on.
The other warriors at the King Realm also thought that Rocky was crazy, but it was too late for them to
stop him even if they wanted to.
In the blink of an eye, Rocky was only a few meters away from the beast.
Almost at the same time, the beast opened its enormous bloody mouth and released terrifying spiritual
power that enveloped Rocky in an instant, leaving him no chance to escape.
"Spirit Possession!"
With a shout, Rocky summoned Glutton and entered the state of possession. His speed was so fast
that no one even realized what was happening. Instantly, his strength increased.
A moment later, he turned into a sharp spiritual light shadow, like a swift sword, and collided directly
with the giant beast. The very next moment, he pulled back.
When he landed on the ground, he knelt on one knee and stared straight at the beast. His clothes were
torn all over, and he looked disheveled.
"Basil? Are you okay?" Tessa shouted nervously.
"Humph! You're really biting off more than you can chew," Miguel sneered.
Uriel and the others were also worried about Rocky, but at that moment, the giant centipede suddenly
let out a strange and terrifying scream. Then, seven inches below its abdomen, blood suddenly spurted
out. The skin and flesh of the giant centipede separated, after which the corpse of the previous giant
centipede slipped out of its wound, and its huge body fell to the ground. The beast gasped for breath as
it lay there dying.
The jaws of everyone standing around dropped in shock. They didn't know how Rocky had killed the
giant centipede with one blow. After all, the gap in strength between them was enormous.
It was only then that they noticed that there was a drastic change in Rocky's appearance, as if he had
turned into a beast.
"Is this the unique skill he displayed before? I didn't expect it to be so powerful... " Uriel exclaimed,
nodding appreciatively.
The other spirit warriors at the King Realm were also taken aback, and even a little jealous. They had
never imagined that Rocky would have created such a strange skill to combine with a spiritual beast, let
alone that it would work so well.
Of course, the one with the worst expression on his face was still Miguel. He looked as if he wanted to
swallow Rocky alive.
"Basil, are you okay?" Tessa rushed over to Rocky with a mixture of concern and excitement. When
she saw that although his clothes were torn, there were no wounds on him, she breathed a sigh of
relief.
Rocky nodded. While Uriel and the others were still in shock, he swaggered over to the dying beast
and took out his Frozen Wind Dagger. With that, he began to peel the skin and quickly cramped it. He
then collected all the valuable parts of the giant centipede. At last, he took out a palm-sized shining
crystal from its abdomen. It was the ethereal crystal of the King Realm spiritual beast.
"I'll take this ethereal crystal." As soon as Rocky finished his words, he took the crystal into his Magic
Spiritual Space.
At that time, everyone finally came to their senses. However, they had no objection, because Uriel had
said that if anyone could kill the giant centipede, then the ethereal crystal would belong to him or her.
"Basil, how did you kill this giant centipede? Even if your strength is at the same level as the beast, you
still can't kill a beast with hard skin and bones with a single blow!" Uriel stepped forward with a puzzled
look on his face.
"Yes, but I found its weakness," Rocky replied casually.
"Weakness? Can you tell me more?" Curiosity was written all over Uriel's face.
"That's right. No matter how powerful a spiritual beast is, it will have a secret weakness. If we can find
and take advantage of that weakness, then no matter how strong the spiritual beast is, it won't be a
threat!" Rocky explained.
"How did you find its weakness?" Tessa asked, cutting in.
"Well, it should be said that my experiences are rich. When I was in my hometown, I often followed
spiritual beasts and learned their habits, so I know them like the back of my hand. Although I have
never seen a giant centipede like this before, I could easily identify its weakness from its fight with you
just now," Rocky answered with a serious look in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be so talented. If not for you, Miguel and the other two would have been in
danger," Uriel praised with a nod.
"I was just doing what I could." Rocky nodded slightly.
"It's no big deal. I bet it's just a matter of luck. But taking that ethereal crystal for yourself is going too
far!" Miguel complained unhappily.
"I'm the one who killed the spiritual beast at the King Realm, so the ethereal crystal belongs to me.
That is the rule. Did I get it wrong, Elder Uriel?" Rocky turned his eyes to Uriel.
"No, you're not wrong. If you hadn't found its weakness, we would have been in great trouble." Uriel
gave a nod of approval.
