"How have you been, Prince Woods?" asked Rocky as he looked at Woods with a calming smile.
"Well, if you hadn't shown mercy to me last time, then I wouldn't be here today," Woods replied in the same manner, not minding the fact that Rocky had wanted to kill him the last time.
"Princess Alyssa, this is our first meeting, but I'm sure that you should have heard about me. Mind if I ask how everything is going on with Miss Laney?" Rocky turned his gaze to Alyssa as he gave her a subtle smile.
As soon as Alyssa and Rocky's eyes met, she sensed that there was something unique about the man in front of her, drawing her curious. She felt that this spirit manipulator was not very strong, but had something hidden inside of him, like a secret. As far as she was aware of, Rocky was only at the second or third grade of the Heavenly Stage. However, she could not ignore how calm and steady this man was in front of her. With Rocky being very sophisticated at such a young age, it was no doubt why Lance had risked to give the Crimson Dragon Army's command to the guy.
Moreover, Rocky should remain stoic while in front of a master at the Divine Stage.
On the other hand, Alyssa could not help but wonder if Rocky was even afraid of anything on this earth.
"Laney is very good. Thank you for asking and extending your concern," Alyssa responded indifferently.
"Rocky, why so sudden..." Lance asked instantly. Apparently, he didn't understand why Rocky would suddenly appear, and to top that off, he also didn't know who Laney was.
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it from now on," Rocky declared to Lance.
Lance hesitated for a moment and took a few steps back upon hearing this. However, he still kept his distance from Rocky because he knew that Alyssa would have some ideas about Rocky the moment he showed up.
"Since the Timber Deity Empire and the Holy Dragon Empire are still negotiating with each other for peace, there is no need to treat each other like enemies. And since we are all just riding with it and seeing how it goes, there is no need to ac
ames suddenly rushed out of the space. Its brassy head rose high along with its wings that were covered with black flames, which set off a gust of hot wind in the air. Like a grand armor, its black and red shell covered its aggressive and impressive body that was no less inferior to the other two spiritual beasts in the prior battle.
This shadow, however, was no other than Uriah.
Meanwhile, the people present in the area were all shocked to see Uriah's uniqueness. For one, Uriah seemed stronger than its master, which had never happened before.
"It never occurred to me that Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast has transformed to such a powerful one. How amazing! Within a few months, it made it to the fourth grade of the four-star level! Moreover, it's even more powerful than its master! I have never heard about this before, but I'm sure that it's a pure talent!" Being Lance's first time to see such a thing, he immediately showed a touch of wonder as well.
As soon as Alyssa laid eyes on Uriah, she was quite startled. In fact, she had not expected that Rocky would have such a special spiritual beast, which she had never seen anything like before. Judging from Uriah's looks, Uriah was anything but a common spiritual beast. Apparently, it did not belong to any kind in the list of spiritual beasts, which made Uriah such a unique species of the world of spiritual beasts.
