Colton's eyes widened in shock as he saw the scene unfolded before him. He didn't expect that Rocky
would really go to such lengths just to deceive Jonathan.
"Basil! No!" Alyssa shouted at the top of her lungs while tears streamed down her face.
"Ha-ha! I can't believe how stupid he is! He really sacrificed himself so easily for a woman?" Jonathan
burst into wild laughter as he saw Rocky's body fell to the ground.
"You! Keep your promise and let Alyssa go!" Colton said as he glared at Jonathan, trying his very best
to restrain his anger.
"Huh? Ha-ha! You really are a bunch of idiots! Did you actually believe that I will keep such a promise?
Do not be ridiculous!" Jonathan retorted disdainfully.
"Damn you, bastard! I'll make sure to kill you mercilessly..." Colton uttered through gritted teeth. Then,
he immediately gathered his spiritual power and shot it into the air.
Seeing the surge of the spiritual power, Marcia, who was just lurking not far away, instantly led all the
elite members of the Holy Dragon Empire and the other guards to besiege the stronghold of the Shura
Race within five hundred meters around the door to the alien world.
"Your Highness, the human army had suddenly appeared on the southwest side of the door! It seems
that they are trying to break in by force," Layton, Jonathan's confidant, reported at once.
"This group of lowly insects! Leave a small number of guards to protect the door. Then, lead the rest of
our men to stop those imbeciles. I want all of them killed here in the Demon Valley!" Jonathan ordered
furiously.
"Yes, Your Highness. I'm on it." Then, Layton immediately left to carry out Jonathan's command.
Soon enough, the members of the Shura Race, who had been scattered around the door, began to
gather towards the stronghold that Marcia's troops had attacked.
When Jonathan already sent most of his troops to stop Marcia and his other comrades, Colton
suddenly shouted, "You are not going anywhere! I will avenge our chief today even if I have to die with
you!" At the same time, a strong aura at the Emperor Realm suddenly spread in the air.
The next moment, Colton bolted out like a blazing arrow that rushed directly towards Jonathan.
"Humph! If you want to die that much, then I will be glad to fulfill your wish!" Jonathan knew that Colton
was not as weak as the other human warriors, so he also got serious when he confronted him.
At the same time, Colton also knew how powerful Jonathan was. In fact, he had to admit that there was
no way he could win against him head-on. Right now, he needed to do his best to buy some time for
Rocky, so he immediately drew the enemy further from the site as they engaged in a fierce battle.
Rocky's suicide earlier was just an act. Obviously, he needed to create an elaborate act to make
Jonathan believe that he really died. But at that moment, the real Rocky suddenly appeared behind
Alyssa, who was still being held by two members of the Shura Race.
Caught off guard, the two guards were instantly knocked down by Rocky.
Taken by surprise, Alyssa was rendered speechless as she saw the Rocky was in front of her and was
still fully alive.
"How dare you make me think that you died? You almost fooled me..." At the back of her mind, Alyssa
always knew that he would do everything he could just to outsmart his opponents. Hence, there was no
way that he would make a deal with a sly member of the Shura Race. However, he had to make a very
convincing act to make Jonathan believe that he really gave up his life. In the end, it turned out that she
was right.
"I'm sorry, but you know I had to do that. Anyway, we don't have much time left. I might need you to
cover for me while I release the power of the Star Beast Ring," Rocky said in a serious tone.
"All right. Let's do this," Alyssa replied with a nod, wiping away the tears on her face.
Then, using the Mystical Dragon Sword, Rocky cut off the iron shackles on Alyssa's hands and feet.
After stretching for quite a bit, Alyssa immediately rushed to the door to the alien world together with
Rocky.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Shura Race warriors were present, guarding the area around the door to the
alien world. Hence, before they actually reached their destination, Rocky and Alyssa were already
intercepted.
Fortunately, with the combined strength of the two, the Shura Race warriors, who were weaker than the
Emperor Realm warriors, had no way of stopping them.
On the other hand, because of the huge gap in strength, Colton was immediately defeated by
Jonathan. As much as he wanted to stall for more time, he had no other choice but to retreat.
But since Colton made a good job of luring Jonathan away from the door, he did not notice that Rocky
had actually saved Alyssa and had already fled towards the door to the alien world.
After a while, Rocky and Alyssa got rid of the enemies on their way. Hence, they finally arrived in front
of the door.
Then, Rocky wasted no time and rose into the air to release the power of the Star Beast Ring. Upon its
activation, dazzling streaks of light were unleashed, and wisps of beast souls constantly flew out and
surrounded him.
The ring was refined from the souls of thousands of spiritual beasts. Thus, it contained enormous beast
soul power that was coupled with the power of the stars in the universe. Therefore, the overall power it
possessed was so overwhelming that even the Shura Race would get frightened by it.
At the same time, because of its tremendous power, it was not easy to control it. With Rocky's current
strength, he had a lot of difficulties, but he had to persevere because this was their only chance to
succeed.
Soon enough, the beast souls that surrounded Rocky began to rush towards the huge door. With this,
the originally tightly-shut door had gradually revealed a faint gap, expanding at an extremely slow
speed.
However, because of the abnormal movement of the door to the alien world, Jonathan finally noticed
that something wrong was going on. Hence, after he defeated Colton, he immediately rushed back to
the door to check what was happening. As soon as he saw Rocky and Alyssa, he was immediately
enraged, thinking that he was completely deceived by a mere human.
Fuming in anger, Jonathan rushed towards Rocky and Alyssa in a flash. After all, he would never let
Rocky have the chance to open the door and escape to another world.
"Basil! Jonathan is coming!" As Alyssa saw that their enemy was closing in, she quickly reminded
Rocky.
However, Rocky could not freely make a move since he needed to focus on opening the door.
Therefore, he could just entrust Alyssa to cover for him as she tried to resist the masters from the
Shura Race.
But of course, Alyssa could not handle all of them on her own, so Rocky became exposed to the
enemies.
Then, just when Jonathan was about to attack Rocky, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the sky.
A figure with a face of a lion descended and instantly blocked Jonathan off. The astonishing aura that
was close to the Shura Realm shocked everyone present.
"Is that… Glutton?" Alyssa mumbled softly in shock.
"Hey! You are finally back." Rocky heaved a deep sigh of relief at the sight of it.
"Master, you can focus on opening the door. I will take care of this guy." Without a shred of hesitation,
Glutton rushed towards Jonathan and gave him a hard time.
Meanwhile, Marcia and her troops had been engaged with the forces of the Shura Race, intending to
force open a gap in their defensive line and rush in. However, since most of the bulk of the forces of the
Shura Race was there, it was not that easy for them to get through.
Just as everyone was in a stalemate, countless beasts suddenly emerged and rushed out from the
dense forest. In an instant, the whole area was flooded by spiritual beasts that seemed like a raging
tide. To the surprise of the Shura Race, these savage beasts actually came to assist the humans.
Not long after, a huge shadow came over, exuding a violent and domineering aura that filled the entire
field. It was none other Harlan, the one who sent the Legion of Beasts to lend a hand to the human
army.
