Chapter 1835 Getting The News
Fortunately, Rocky already anticipated what Israel might do. Hence, he just waited at the center of the
mysterious array in advance until Israel appeared. Then, when the Godly Genius arrived as he had
predicted, Rocky instantly summoned the God-killing Sword and directly rushed towards Israel.
When he saw the God-killing Sword, Israel''s face turned ghastly pale. The horror he experienced back
in the Spiritual Emperor Contest was still vivid in his memories. Thus, with all his might, he managed to
avoid the sword and maintained his distance from Rocky.
"It''s you!" Upon recognizing that his enemy this time was none other than Rocky, Israel trembled in
anger.
"Yes, that''s right. If you want to break this array, you have to defeat me first," Rocky stated while
exhibiting an irresistible momentum.
Hearing Rocky''s confident remarks, Israel could not help but grit his teeth and clench his fists. He was
well aware of his enemy''s real strength, so he knew that the man in front of him wasn''t just bluffing. If
he really tried to fight Rocky head-on, nothing good woulde out of it. However, if he backed off
right now, he wouldn''t know how to exin his failure.
"You know very well that with your strength, it won''t be a problem for you to protect yourself and leave.
But you also know that it will be impossible for you to get past me. I advise you to give up and get out
of here right now!" Rocky said bluntly.
"Who the hell are you really?" Israel could not help but ask in a frustrated tone. He had always felt that
Rocky was not just an ordinary human. In fact, he gave him a sense of familiarity, but he could not tell
how or why.
"Did you already forget my name? I am Basil," Rocky replied with a smirk.
"I am not asking for your name! Where did youe from? Why are you hindering us?" Israel
eximed, wanting to have some rity.
"What are you talking about? I''m just an ordinary human."
"No, that is a lie! Don''t belittle my instinct. I know that you are hiding something! Now, what is it?"
Israel''s gaze was fixed on Rocky. He was sure that Rocky must have been hiding his true identity, and
he would not back off this time until he got the answer.
"Fine. Do you want the truth? Then, listen carefully. Myrades were once captured by the members
of the Shura Race from an alien world..." Rocky answered without hiding the truth anymore. At his
point, he already wanted his enemies to know who they were dealing with.
"What? You are from an alien world?!" Israel was obviously shocked. Though he had known that
something was up with Rocky, he did not expect that this would be his true identity.
"Now, you know. So, be sure to remember this. No matter what kind of ploy the Shura Race is plotting,
I won''t let you seed!" Rocky uttered in righteous indignation.
At the same time, the independent army behind him also roared with great momentum and morale.
Upon witnessing this, Israel could not help but swallow hard. He knew that the hatred and
determination in Rocky''s eyes were genuine. If he tried to act stubbornly and fight anyway, he could
already see that the spearhead army of the Shura Race would just suffer more terrible losses.
"I actually don''t need to kill you today, but you have to retreat right away before my mind changes,"
Rocky dered in a confident tone. Although he knew that he could defeat Israel, it also wouldn''t be
that easy. In the meantime, he had to consider the overall situation. The important thing right now was
he could drive off the army of the Shura Race without having too many casualties.
Left with no choice, Israel immediately flew back to Cloud Castle.
"Sir, I am back..." Israel greeted, approaching Alonso.
"Why are you back already? What happened?" Seeing that Israel was back so soon, Alonso
immediately spected that something went wrong.
"I failed to destroy the array that is protecting the gates. It''s unbreakable," Israel replied honestly.
Although he regretted going back without aplishing his mission, he was very certain that he could
not break the array with Rocky guarding it.
"What? You sure are useless!" Alonso scolded and continued, "I don''t care how you are going to
many people die. That human army must be crushed today!"
When Israel heard all these irresponsible words, a cold sh of hostility appeared in his eyes as he
drew closer towards Alonso.
"What do you want?" the man barked. However, Israel did not bother to answer back. In a sh,
Alonso''s vision became blurry, not realizing that Israel had already broken his neck.
At the same time, the soldiers of the spearhead army were all shocked to their core when they saw
how Israel killed Alonso without batting an eye.
"Listen to me! This person doesn''t give a damn of your lives and so he doesn''t deserve to lead you.
From now on, I am going to be in charge. Follow me and we will break out!" Then, Israel turned to the
other Godly Genius and asked, "If I remember correctly, you are good at teleportation, right? Can you
create a secret passage for us?"
"I can, but it will take some time," the Godly Genius replied quickly.
After that, Israel ordered his men to seal the gates of the city. Then, he summoned the spiritual
maniptors above the Emperor Realm, ordering them to create an enchanted barrier to protect the
remaining soldiers.
At the same time, as Rocky saw that the gates of the Cloud Castle were blocked off, he surmised that
Israel must have thought of another way to escape. However, he decided to let them go and did not
take the opportunity to pursue them.
After all, it wasn''t necessary right now. It would be better if he conserved the energy of the independent
army.
On the other hand, the spearhead army of the Shura Race had already lost about half of its total
soldiers, and their morale was greatly weakened. Moreover, they would still encounter other armies as
they escaped. Hence, their losses would just get worse.
Therefore, at this time, Rocky just ordered the independent army to get some rest and wait until the
spearhead army of the Shura Race had fully retreated from Cloud Castle.
Meanwhile, with the efforts of the other Godly Genius, he was able to create a secret underground
tunnel that led to the outside of the city. Soon enough, the remaining forces of the Shura Race''s
spearhead sessfully retreated via the secret passage. Not long after, the Cloud Castle was
After confirming that the spearhead army of the Shura Race had left Cloud Castle, Rocky eventually
led the independent army into it to put out the fire and repair the damaged areas.
When the two deputymanders received the message from Rocky, they also led the army and
rendezvous with them. Upon entering the city, they were bewildered after seeing all the corpses lying
all over the ground.
One of the deputymanders could not help but ask, "Commander Basil, just how many members of
the Shura Race''s spearhead died here?"
"Well, based on what I saw, more than fifteen thousand soldiers must have fallen here." Rocky gave a
rough estimate.
"That many?! What about our army? Did you have several casualties as well?" The two deputy
the area.
"Less than five thousand, I heard." In fact, Rocky had just received the report about the total number of
casualties of the independent army.
Hearing this, the deputymanders were utterly stunned. They could not believe that there was a
huge gap in terms of the number of casualties. Moreover, they faced the elite members of the Shura
Race''s spearhead.
"My task here is done, so I won''t stay for long. I have to leave now." After leaving the situation to the
two deputymanders, Rocky directly led the independent army back to Moon City so that they could
recuperate.
Meanwhile, the news that the spearhead army of the Shura Race was defeated immediately reached
Zain''s ears. Obviously, he got so furious, not expecting that they would encounter such a huge loss in
the hands of the human army. His main purpose for this invasion was to win a few battles so that he
would earn an even better reputation in the Shura Race. Hence, experiencing crushing defeat in battle
was the least that he wanted.
"Your Royal Highness, ording to the report sent by Israel, it turned out that the mysterious human
who won the first ce during the Spiritual Emperor Contest is also in the human army. He said that
this guy is from the alien world," a soldier informed.
"What did you say?" Zain was more surprised with this new information.
"If that is true, I''m afraid that this will be bad for us. The people from all those alien worlds on the
continent might suddenly revolt against the royal family when they hear this piece of news." Zain''s
confidant immediately expressed his concern.
"We can''t let that happen! Imprison all the people that we captured from the alien worlds. Issue this
order right away!" Zainmanded without any hesitation.
"But Your Royal Highness, without these people, ourbor force will be greatly reduced," the confidant
warned. Of course, this was a dilemma since they could not really afford to diminish their workforce just
because of this war.
"Don''t worry. Once we suppress the human race and spiritual race this time, we will notck people to
put in thebor force!" Zain dismissed his confidant''s remarks, confident that he could win this battle.
"Yes, I understand." Seeing that the prince had already made up his mind, the confidant could just
agree.
"Moreover, ask the army to be on standby for now. Five dayster, I shall take the role of the

of the Shura Race!" Zain dered mightily.
A few dayster, news came to the human race that the Shura Race had officially dispatched their
main troop to confront them.
Upon learning this, Colton immediately contacted Rocky. However, it seemed that Rocky had already
heard the news in advance from Valeria, who was collecting information for him while in the Ghost Fief.
