"You two!" Layla's eyes widened in surprise the moment Rocky and Valeria appeared before her. She
didn't even notice their auras until they were already in front of her eyes.
On the other hand, Zain wore a gloomy face upon seeing the two Godly Geniuses. He thought that the
two had already died somewhere in the Ghostly Demon Land when they were separated from Layla's
team. To his disappointment, they were safe and sound.
"Your Royal Highness, there is still a way out of this trap. If you trust me, please do as I say," Rocky
immediately told Layla. He needed to be direct, knowing that they only had very limited time to spare.
Zain and Layla exchanged confused looks. They wondered why it seemed like Rocky knew the current
situation very well. But knowing Rocky, she knew if he was offering this in a very serious tone, he
should have a good idea that they could depend on.
"What should we do then?" Although Zain was naturally arrogant, he asked Rocky in a low voice. After
all, the young man might be able to save his life.
"Keep a level head first. Then, gather the members of your teams and ask them to stand by. In the
meantime, I will try to destroy this demoness' Spiritual Domain. When you see an opportunity, do your
best to get out of here. However, I know that Prince Enoch will not let you go that easily. Therefore, you
must force your way out and take care of him and his men," Rocky briefly explained.
"Okay. I understand," Layla responded without any objection.
"You are going to do it alone? Can't you see how powerful that demoness is?" Zain obviously had
misgivings upon hearing Rocky's plan. He thought that the Godly Genius was being too full of himself.
Even the powerful masters of the Shura Race did not even stand a chance against the demoness, so it
should be impossible for him to do it.
"Don't worry. I'm not alone," Rocky calmly replied. Immediately after, his gaze shifted towards the
demoness who was busy killing and absorbing the spiritual energies of the warriors of the Shura Race.
At this moment, the demoness was grabbing another warrior and was about to absorb his spiritual
energy. But all of a sudden, a domineering holy power bolted towards her from behind. The holy power
was astonishing and could even be compared to the divine power from the deities of the Holy-Evil
World.
Sensing this, the demoness instantly shook off the almost lifeless warrior in her hand and turned
around. With a wave of her hand, a surging evil power gushed out and blocked off the incoming holy
power.
However, just as the demoness resisted the holy power, a cold force suddenly spread beneath her,
instantly freezing her feet.
Then, a delicate figure emerged in front of the demoness, revealing a disdainful grin on her face. "For a
member of the demonic race, you are not that strong."
It was none other than Anya.
Seeing how Anya restrained the demoness in just a single blow, the warriors of the Shura Race were
utterly stunned. They could clearly tell that Anya's strength was higher than the Shura Realm, and it
should not be far from the demoness'.
"Odin, is she with you?" After witnessing Anya's incredible strength, Layla immediately understood
what Rocky meant when he said that he was not alone in dealing with the demoness. It turned out that
he had a reliable helper that could assist him. Although she did not know Anya's real identity yet, the
important thing for her was that they could defeat the demoness.
"Yes, she is a friend of mine. The two of us will do our best to handle that demoness." Rocky gave a
simple answer. At this moment, he did not have the time to explain everything.
Afterward, Layla heaved a deep sigh and stepped forward. With a loud yet sweet voice, she addressed
the remaining warriors of the Shura Race, "Everyone, calm down! Odin and his friend are already here
to help us out."
Hearing this, the warriors, who had been scared to death earlier, had somehow calmed down.
"Yes, it's him. The Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief!" When Layla pointed towards Rocky, they
immediately recognized him.
"Listen! That demoness has colluded with Prince Enoch, and their real goal is to release Phillip's soul!
Prince Enoch deceived you and made you gather in this place. As you may have already seen, that
demoness' strength is very strong, and we cannot just fight her head-on. If you still want to live and get
out of here, follow Princess Layla and Prince Zain. When they see an opportunity, they will lead you
out!" At this critical moment, Rocky no longer hid his astounding aura. In order to make the other
warriors listen to him, he unleashed a domineering and imposing aura. At the same time, the words he
uttered were sonorous and brief, restoring the confidence of some of the warriors present.
But of course, the warriors were also very shocked upon hearing that Enoch actually betrayed them.
Releasing Phillip's soul was an absolute taboo. This was equivalent to waging a war against the Shura
Race.
"Damn that brat!" Now that Enoch's plan was exposed, his face darkened and he was furious. He didn't
expect that Rocky, Valeria, and Anya would instantly stabilize the previously chaotic situation at once.
He actually planned to take this opportunity to finish off both Zain and Layla so that he could easily get
the position as the next ruler of the Shura Race. But now, it seemed that it would not be that easy for
him to accomplish this.
"I don't think you can do something about it! Can't you see how many strong warriors already fell
victim? Even if we join forces, we will most probably die here!"
"I agree. You are just a Godly Genius! Some of the warriors here are even stronger than you. How can
you possibly defeat her?"
"I won't just sit and wait for my death! We need to find a way to escape! We can't trust his words!"
Obviously, most of them were not in their best state of mind. They had lost their fighting spirit, so they
just desperately wanted to run away and save their lives.
"You, pathetic losers..." Valeria could not help but get angry upon seeing the attitudes of all these
warriors.
"Forget them! We don't need more hindrances. Prince Zain, Princess Layla, you have to get out of
here. Save yourselves once you see a chance. I'm afraid you have to give up on entering the Demon
Sealing Palace." After finishing these words, Rocky turned around and looked in the direction of the
demoness, who was currently being restrained by Anya's ice power. At the same time, he was also a
bit surprised at Anya's strength. After all, it was more powerful than what he had imagined. But he also
knew that they could not be complacent. The demoness was a member of the demonic race, and they
would not be able to bring her down that easily. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that she was just
possessing a body of a member of the Shura Race, her strength would not be limited. It meant that it
would really be impossible for them to suppress her in that case.
However, the demoness was not in a rush to break Anya's seal. Instead, she took her time to observe
Anya as if she was gauging her real strength. After a while, the demoness surmised that if Anya
possessed an overwhelming holy power, she shouldn't be just any ordinary person.
"Who the hell are you? Where did you come from? And why do you possess that holy aura?" the
demoness asked coldly, staring straight into Anya's eyes.
"You don't have to know. It has nothing to do with you anyway. But let me tell you this. As long as I'm
here, you will never be able to enter the Demon Sealing Palace!" Anya answered with an unwavering
determination. After all, her original mission was to guard the Demon Sealing Palace. Even though
many years had already passed, her mission did not change.
"Ha! You dare to talk big in front of me? I'm not even sacred of the deities from the Holy-Evil World. Do
you think that someone like you can stop me?" the demoness retorted with a cold snort. Then, all of
sudden, an evil aura swept around her, like a raging wave.
Most of the warriors of the Shura Race immediately felt its effect. They could not bear the overbearing
pressure, and they eventually fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the situation became extremely
chaotic again.
