"Don't think that you can run away from me!" Upon seeing that Rocky was about to escape, the
demoness knew that at her current state, she would not be able to easily catch up with him. Hence, she
had no choice but to summon the Demonic Spiritual Spear back. Then, she immediately threw it
towards Rocky in order to stop him.
It was known that the power of the Demonic Spiritual Spear was on par with the God-killing Sword.
Moreover, it could absorb one's spiritual energy and soul. It was extremely dangerous that even with
his current strength, Rocky could not afford to be hit by it.
Therefore, the moment Rocky saw the approaching spear, he instantly brandished the God-killing
Sword, readying himself to resist the spear with all his strength.
At the same time, Zain also seized the opportunity to attack Rocky using the Demonic Dragon Blade.
He instantly released its power, knowing that if Rocky was done in, he would have one less enemy to
deal with.
In an instant, Rocky was in a dilemma. He was going to be sandwiched by the powers of the two
weapons. Although he might have the ability to resist them, it would be hard to say if he could get out
unscathed.
However, just as Rocky was about to be hit by the combined attacks of the demoness and Zain, a
delicate figure suddenly appeared and quickly threw out two rune papers that instantly blocked off the
powers of the Demonic Spiritual Spear and the Demonic Dragon Blade.
Boom! Boom!
As the rune papers collided with the powers of the weapons, a huge explosion occurred, creating an
astonishing impact that quickly spread out in all directions.
'I know those rune papers. They belong to Leader Gilbert!' Then, Rocky immediately shifted his gaze at
the figure in front of him to see who it really was.
At the same time, the delicate figure stared back at him and asked, "Seriously, what on earth have you
done this time? Why do you have so many people targeting you?"
"Miss Vivian? What are you doing here?"
Rocky asked in bewilderment. It turned out that the figure who helped him was no other than Vivian,
Gilbert's sister.
"Vivian?" Even Zain and Enoch recognized the lady at first glance. Just like Rocky, there were utterly
confused at her sudden appearance. They were sure that she did not enter the Ghostly Demon Land
with them, but she was now here before their eyes.
"Well, let's talk about why I am here later. The important thing is that I was able to arrive on time. Come
on, we have to get you out of here." Vivian kept Rocky guessing for the time being. At the same time,
she shot a glance towards Zain and Enoch, and said, "How low have you two become? You have so
many people on your side, but you dare bully a single person. Isn't this a very humiliating behavior
coming from members of the royal family?"
"Hey, little girl! Don't judge us because you know nothing about what's going on! Now, get out of the
way if you don't want to get caught up in this mess. If you don't make this hard for us, I will spare you
this time!" Enoch threatened, clenching his fists. Since she was the sister of one of the fief's leaders,
Enoch did not really want to hurt her. After all, it would be bad for his reputation if the major fiefs started
turning against him.
"Is it not clear enough that I am here for this guy? He is a member of our fief. Now, if you want to kill
him, you will have to deal with me first! By the way, don't think that I will pull my punches just because
you are members of the royal family!" Vivian declared in a domineering tone. Then, all of a sudden, her
aura surged out, revealing a strength that was on the peak of the Shura Realm.
At the sight of this, the remaining warriors of the Shura Race, including Zain and Enoch, were
dumbfounded. They never expected that Vivian would have already reached this level.
"What are you dawdling for? Catch them at once!" Obviously, the demoness did not care who Vivian
was, or if she was more powerful than her underlings.
But of course, Zain, Enoch, and the others could not help but show fear upon witnessing Vivian's level
of strength. Among them, the most powerful ones were only at the premium stage of the Shura Realm.
Even if they confronted her at the same time, they might not be a match for her. At this time, the
demoness might be the only one who could deal with her, but she was currently too weak to engage in
a battle.
"We don't have time to deal with them. Let's go!" Seeing that no one dared to step up and stop her,
Vivian grabbed Rocky by the hand and activated her movement skill. In the blink of an eye, the two of
them flashed away.
"Damn it! We can't lose the tri—" The demoness was so angry, but even before she could finish her
sentence, she suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood. It seemed that her condition was getting
worse at the moment.
"We need to go after them!" Zain eventually regained his composure and ordered his men. Although it
would be tough facing Vivian with her current strength, he could not just abandon his aspiration to
become the next king.
"Madam, are we going after them?" Enoch also asked for the demoness' next instructions.
"My current physical body is at its limit. Before it gets completely broken, I have to leave the Ghostly
Demon Land. Otherwise, if my soul is exposed, I will never be able to leave this place," the demoness
replied in a very frustrated manner.
Hearing this, Enoch got even more nervous. He did not know that her condition was this bad. Hence,
he immediately gathered his men to escort the demoness away from the ruins of the Demon Sealing
Palace.
Meanwhile, Rocky and Vivian ran without stopping the moment they left Zain, Enoch, and the others
behind. They only stopped on their tracks when they were sure enough that no one had been chasing
after them.
"Where are Princess Layla and Miss Valeria right now? How are they doing?" Vivian asked, still panting
heavily from all the running.
"I sent them to the hidden exit of the Ghostly Demon Land," Rocky briefly replied.
"I see. I did not expect that you will know about the hidden exit. Humph! Does it mean that I just wasted
all my time and effort to come here and help you?" Vivian pouted and complained.
"So, you really came here just to help us?" Rocky was a bit taken aback upon learning about this.
"Why do you think will I willingly come to such a dangerous and godforsaken place?" Vivian answered,
rolling her eyes at Rocky.
"Did Leader Gilbert ask you to follow us here?" Rocky pried further.
"No. In fact, what I am about to say might sound a little insane. I actually had a dream, and someone
told me that you guys are in danger. Then, I was asked to come to the Ghostly Demon Land and help
you get out," Vivian recounted.
"Someone appeared in your dream? Do you know who it was?" Rocky asked with furrowed brows.
"No. I did not even see the face of that person. However, after that, I heard the news that the
teleportation point to the Ghostly Demon Land was destroyed after you guys got in. That was when I
confirmed that something really is wrong and that I have to check on you. So, I hurriedly followed the
alternate method on how to enter the Ghostly Demon Land that the person in my dream told me,"
Vivian replied, shaking her head.
"A person that can appear in one's dreams... Could it be her?" After hearing Vivian's story, Rocky
thought of someone who might be responsible for it.
"What do you mean? You have an idea who this person is?" Vivian immediately asked. Even she was
utterly confused about this phenomenon. Hence, she was curious to know more about it.
"I am not entirely sure. However, we can talk more about it after we get back. Right now, we have to
meet with Princess Layla and Valeria as soon as possible." Rocky knew that explaining it to Vivian right
now might not be the best idea since it would take a long time, and it was such a complicated topic. So,
instead, he urged her to focus on their priority for the time being.
Knowing that Rocky was right, Vivian did not have any objection. Soon enough, the two of them set out
again.
About a day later, Rocky and Vivian managed to arrive at the ruins left by the ancestors of the Shura
Race, which was not far from the divine temple that he and Valeria had visited previously. However,
unlike the temple, the ruins were not protected by the holy power.
It turned out that Rocky asked Rubygon to lead Princess Layla and the rest to the ruins so that they
could camp here while waiting for him.
The moment Layla and Valeria saw Rocky and Vivian arrive, both girls were finally able to breathe a
sigh of relief. But of course, they were not expecting to see Vivian.
"Miss Vivian? Why are you with him?" Valeria could not help but ask. She was shocked and confused
at the same time.
"It is kind of a long story. We can just talk about it later. Right now, our priority is to leave the Ghostly
Demon Land as soon as we can," Rocky butted in and went straight to the point.
"How are we going to leave this place? Is it true that you know another way to get us out of here?"
Layla asked as she turned towards Rocky. Earlier, the young man told the demoness that he knew a
way to get out of the Ghostly Demon Land. However, the princess did not know any other way aside
from the teleportation point that was destroyed by the demoness.
"The truth is that there is more than one teleportation point. Way back then, the ancestors of the Shura
Race built three of them. But later, only one was left functioning," Rocky revealed.
"So, is there a teleportation point near this area?" Layla asked in delight. She assumed that Rocky led
them to these ruins in the first place because that was the case.
"Yes. However, we still need to activate the teleportation point to make it work," Rocky answered with a
nod.
"Activate? What exactly do we need to do?" Layla probed.
"It is said that only those who have the royal bloodline can activate the teleportation point..." Rocky
then looked at Layla with a serious expression on his face.
