Chapter 729 Life And Death
The shock on Alston''s face was as clear as day. He never expected Rocky to be able to fight back,
after using one of his most powerful attacks on him.
Alston felt his body quiver. Without warning, a beam of thunder radiance burst out of him. The spell was
broken and he returned to his normal state.
"Damn it!" Before he could make a move, Alston realized that he couldn''t. His range of motion was
hindered due to the side effect of the Spirit Possession.
"Kill... Kill... Kill!" Rocky shouted thrice in a row. Raising the Frozen Wind Dagger above him, he
shed at the open air with great speed and a strong whirlwind escaped the dagger''s sharp edge.
Soon after, the Frozen Wind Dagger burst into mes and became a huge ck torch that burned all
the nts within a one hundred meter radius of it.
Rocky then waved the dagger with all his strength. Like a huge ck dragon spreading its wings, the
ck me spread dozens of meters across the sky before reaching the ground and encasing the
surrounding area. Alston now found himself trapped under this dome of ck me.
Alston had no time to dodge. He was immediately consumed by the raging ck me that came
crashing down from the sky.
"Your Royal Highness!" the injured ck-robed spirit maniptor screamed. He rushed towards Alston
and summoned all of his spiritual power to try to resist the attack.
But the ck me''s power was too much. Despite his determination, the spirit maniptor was no
match. Nothing of him remained, except for a pile of ashes.
"Damn it!" Alston cursed. Raising his right hand, he released the special power of the Thunder Dragon
Spear.
With help from the spear, a flickering barrier of thunder and lightning appeared in front of Alston.
Boom...
A gigantic mushroom-shaped cloud appeared and rose toward the sky. Looking down from above, the
area that had been covered in the ck me earlier had now sunk three feet deeper. All that was left
of the area was hot ash and suffocating smoke. The whole scene was morbidly spectacr.
From the rubble appeared a man draped in burned, tattered clothes and with an ashen face. His entire
right arm waspletely damaged, and only charred flesh and exposed bone remained. However, his
right hand managed to still hold on to something important—the Thunder Dragon Spear.
"My hand... My hand!" Alston screamed with bloodshot eyes as he stared down at his right hand, or at
least what was left of it.
"Rocky, I''ll kill you! Mark my words. You''ll pay for this!" One would''ve mistaken him for a crazy person
based on his scream alone.
Out of nowhere, a dark figure moved amidst the smoke and slowly made his way towards Alston.
"He... can still... move... But...his body shouldn''t have... been able to bear all that... power..." Alston''s
face was stered with fear upon seeing the dark figure inch closer towards him. It was probably the
first time in his life that he had felt absolutely terrified. The one who made him feel just as afraid was
Basil who was good-for-nothing in his eyes all the time.
"No, he will die. Even if I don''t kill him, there''s no way for him to survive. Time to go..." Alston suddenly
burst intoughter, a strange expression now recing his previous terrified one. He gave the Thunder
Dragon Spear in his left hand a quick nce before he fled, fearing that Rocky would kill him. To him,
Rocky was no longer the good-for-nothing Basil, but a terrifying monster.
After Alston escaped, Rocky slowly walked out of the dust and smoke. He fell to one knee, and his face
contorted into a ferocious-looking expression due to the severe burns and scars that riddled his flesh.
The evil spiritual power was too much, eroding his body.
"U... Uriah..." Rocky suddenly called out. With the little willpower he had left, he stumbled towards
Uriah whoy in a pool of blood.
The beast appeared to be on the verge of death. Alston''s spear severely injured it by striking its
spiritual source.

As Rocky managed toe to Uriah''s side, he knelt down and raised a trembling hand to touch its
head.
Sensing Rocky''s aura, Uriah slowly opened its eyes, looked at its owner with bright eyes and moaned
weakly.
For a moment, the whole world faded into nothing but quiet—absolute silence.
"Rubygon was killed because of me. And now... Now you''re about to meet the same fate. I wish there
was something I could do. I''m sorry, Uriah... I''m sorry!" He could do nothing more but helplessly look at
the suffering beast before him. Rocky clenched his teeth, trying to find some way to restrain the
sadness in his heart from escaping. His tears rolled down his face like tiny rivers and began to drip onto
Uriah''s forehead.
A bright me burst and began to spread all over Uriah''s body. The beast''s flesh became transparent
and began to emit a faint light. Uriah then started to shrink and soon disappeared. Where it oncey
appeared a red, oval egg.
"This is..." Rocky was surprised at Uriah''s sudden disappearance and the red egg''s appearance.
He heard a faint voice. Turning his head towards it, he was met with a woman whoy under a tree in
the distance. She began to move a bit.
"Sue... Sue? She''s still... alive?" Rocky''s eyes widened in bewilderment. He struggled to get back on
his two feet, but he just stumbled down again.
"I have to rescue... Sue..." He was determined to save her. Using his hands, he slowly began to crawl
and climb towards Sue.
The ground he clutched on to as he crawled was smeared with his blood. The pain was almost
unbearable. He would tend to his woundter. Right now, he needed to save Sue.
Rain began to pour. As the droplets fell onto his injured body which was eroded by the spiritual power,
they evaporated into thin air and surrounded him like a puff of smoke.
After a while, he was getting closer and closer to Sue. But before he could, he let out an ear-piercing
howl. After that, everything went dark. The Holy Dragon Bead''s evil power had devoured and
annihted thest of his senses.
Sue seemed so far away, even though she was now just one step away from where he was.
ck lines, like poisoned veins, began to run all over Rocky''s face. At the same time, the ck
spiritual power kept surging out of his body. His eyes were now the color of coal and he kept scratching
the ground with his hands until his nails bled. He was in so much pain, which terrified him. He could do
nothing but wait for death to take him out of this misery.
