Chapter 29 Mysterious Tattoo


    "What kind of miracle liquid is it? Why does it work so well?" Convinced of the healing efficacy of the


    liquid Rocky gave her, Marcia had eagerly turned to her spiritual power to rid herself of the poison in


    her blood. Meanwhile, Rocky engaged thedy in blue. Unbelievably, her wound got healed in such a


    short time. She even got a significant boost of spiritual power. She had expended so much on fighting


    thedy in blue that she would normally suffer fatigue for a considerable duration.


    From time to time, Rocky would check on her recovery, pausing for a moment from his chit chat with


    thedy in blue. Just for showing up to help Marcia, he had taken a huge risk. Thank goodness, Marcia


    was one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, a highly respected position. Her


    heroics in battle too would earn her much more admiration. And Rocky, in saving Marcia would have


    the opportunity of Marcia admitting him into her school of discipleship.


    So he would go all out for a chance even if it meant putting his life on the line.


    Right now, he knew he was treading on dangerous ground as the wickeddy in blue was nning


    malice even as he tried to distract her with small talk. Not surprisingly, the moment thedy discovered


    Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    he wouldn''t divulge any meaningful information, she wanted to kill him. Out of nowhere, she threw him


    to the ground, ready to kill. The spiritual mark on her right arm was shing bright with a lethal spiritual


    strike force.


    ''Beautiful General, can you be faster?'' watching over Marcia, Rocky thought, beads of sweat breaking


    on his brow, desperately hoping for the girl''s safety.


    "Icy Dragon, go..." That very moment, a pretty silhouette flew past, interrupting him for a split second.


    Thankfully, when he looked up, it was Marcia, spreading out her arms. She had called forth two giant


    Icy Dragons, which charged to attack thedy in blue from the back.


    Thedy had not seen thising from Marcia. By the time she realized what was happening, it was


    toote. The two giant Dragons descended on her like a bomb. Two streaks of blinding-bright rays


    radiated and exploded on her with such incredible power that Rocky knew she''d be blown to pieces.


    The other''s spiritual power had gone to work almost immediately, but the damage was already done,


    leaving thedy in blue severely hurt.


    "How is it possible?" Rolling on the ground, thedy looked at Marcia in disbelief. Marcia had recovered


    in such a short period of time. It suddenly struck the woman that the Marcia''s miraculous recovery had


    something to do with Rocky. "Is that your trick?" she feebly asked, turning her gaze to Rocky. How on


    earth had he managed to resuscitate Marcia in such a short time?


    "Let''s wait and see!" Since she had expended half of her spiritual power in countering Marcia''s Icy


    Dragons, the woman knew she was going to lose the battle. The only way out for her was to beat a


    hasty retreat, which she did promptly. With a hand waving gesture, the same rift that Rocky had seen


    before, appeared on her side. Then she disappeared, waging a threatening finger at Marcia and Rocky


    as she receded into the breach.


    With a whizzing sound, the gigantic yellow beast that had hovered over the sky as the woman fought


    Rocky also disappeared into the rift.


    "That was so scary. Hey, pretty General, if you had dyed only for one more second, I would have


    died," Rocky said to Marcia who now stood by his side.


    But before Marcia could answer, the ground began to shake as the Magic Spiritual Space copsed.


    "Let us get out of here fast," Marcia said, gripping Rocky''s left shoulder as she released her powers for


    flight. A rift appeared in front of them once more, much like the otherdy''s. They both jumped in


    together with the white dragon with four wings and left.


    Rocky had vertigo when they jumped. And a few minutester, the scene before them shifted. They


    were brought back to the woods where they had been before in the rift. Immediately, the rift turned into


    a streak of light which disappeared in the air. But before he could stand, a dagger, decorated with


    dragon marks on the handle was held to his throat. At the same time, hovering in the sky was a white


    dragon with two heads and four wings, casting a dreadful shadow over him.


    "Who on earth are you? Why did youe to my aid?" a quiet voice inquired.


    "Hey, pretty General, is this the way you treat the man who saved your life? Besides, do I look like a


    bad guy? I think I''m very innocent Madam." Rocky realized the dagger on his throat was from Marcia.


    He rolled his eyes and raised his hands to demonstrate his innocence.


    Feeling embarrassed, Marcia asked, "The man who saved my life? That''s hrious. I could have


    defeated the woman, even without your help." Of course, Marcia knew that if Rocky had not helped,


    she most likely wouldn''t have made it out alive. Even though she had given her all, her opponent was a


    cut above.


    "OK, I know you are powerful, no doubt about it. You are invincible. But can you hold back the dagger


    first?" Rocky pointed to the sharp dagger that was dangling dangerously close to his throat.


    "No way. Before I take it away, you have to tell me who you are? Why did you show up here in the


    Magic Spiritual Space?" Shaking her head resolutely, Marcia declined his request. Although Rocky had


    saved her life, she knew better not to trust him so easily. What was his motive? In taking on the woman


    who had attacked Marcia, he knew it was risky. But he still went ahead and put his life on the line,


    buying time for Marcia to recover. Why would he do that to a stranger? There had to be a catch to it.


    "Please calm down first..." At that point, Rocky shook his hand and pleaded.


    "Don''t try to deflect!" Marcia thought Rocky was trying to distract her. So she warned, her spiritual


    power set to strike at any provocation.


    But just then a powerful st went off, catching both of them by surprise.


    When Marcia turned her back to Rocky, he caught sight of an borate silver tattoo with a lively pattern


    on her fair-skinned back. The dragon, soaring across the sky, was done in so intricate details that


    Rocky immediately knew it had very symbol meaning.


    "The tattoo on your back is very special..." Rocky said, looking at the tattoo more closely. Magically, the


    tattoo seemed to have been etched on his mind, instantly spreading out into map that led to a massive,


    highly guarded treasure trove.


    "Tattoo?" Marcia was puzzled. She must have remembered something that made her face turn white.


    There was a great secret, skillfully worked into the dragon tattoo on her back. It definitely could not be


    exposed. How had she let Rocky see it?


    "If you would ever look at it again, I will gorge out your eyes," Marcia snapped. The cold look on her


    face was enough to end a clear message to Rocky.


    "Sorry for that. But take it easy, it won''t happen again," Rocky apologized. By now, he knew Marcia well


    enough not to mess with her. So he meekly turned to look away.


    Meanwhile, Marcia summoned her spiritual powers to rip a rift into the Magic Spiritual Space from


    where she took more battle gear. Strapping on the amour, she looked magnificent. Flushing red, she bit


    her lip as she thought of Rocky''s naive smile. It was regrettable that he had crossed the red line. Now,


    she gripped the dagger tighter, her eyes filled by determination to kill him.


    "You saw the thing you were not supposed to see. I can''t keep you alive now." As she spoke, a strong


    force took control of the sword in her hands.
