Rocky frowned at what he saw. Looking up, he spotted a dozen spirit-manipulated beasts locked in an intense aerial battle—and Alyssa's spirit-manipulated beast was one of them. He realized that he couldn't just dash out because doing so would expose his location. Now the only way to get out was to use the Rainbow Glow Unicorn's special power.
Rocky summoned the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. But before he could try and hide with the beast, Alyssa was one step ahead and began to gather her spiritual power. Instantly, a beam of red light surged out of the crack of the Magic Spiritual Space which shook the earth and the sky. The beam fell right in front of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn which caused the beast to roar strangely before disappearing.
He could only stare in amazement as the Rainbow Glow Unicorn went missing. With no other option left, he ran away towards the other direction with Uriah. He planned to leave the village first and then rode astride Uriah. On the outskirts of the village, his army were awaiting his return as he had already anticipated the Timber Deity Empire's plot. If he reached them in time, he would be safe.
Just then, Allen summoned his beast—the Crystal Water Dragon. The dragon quickly rushed in front of Rufus and White to block their path.
"You go after Rocky. Leave this to me," Rufus ordered White as he glared at Allen, not forgetting the shame and loss he caused him last time.
Without another word, White sped up to catch up to Rocky.
"Watery Ribbon!" Allen exclaimed as he waved his arm. A strong spiritual power was released in streams of ribbons which constantly twisted and twirled before intertwining around White and surrounding him completely to block his way.
"Whiskered Fire Bug!" White immediately shouted and whipped out his feather fan to conjure up fire flows which looked like thousands of firebugs emerging from the ground. The fire flows immediately rushed towards the watery ribbons that Allen summoned.
When the two spiritual powers made contact, an explosion of light illuminated the entire sky and shimmered for a while. Due to his lack of skill, White failed to release himself from the watery ribbons created by Allen.
Just then, the shadow of an aggressive beast pounced up
then launched his next attack of spiritual martial arts. The whole ground shook and dust clouds rose up from the rubble.
Rocky failed to counteract the attack and ended up stuck in the air.
In spite of this, he showed no sign of fear. He descended back to the ground and stood up firmly with a look of determination plastered on his face.
"Let's see how long you last this time," White snorted and launched a new move with his palm which managed to strike Rocky once more.
After three attacks, Rocky was forced to retreat to the center of the village. His entire body turned black and blue but Rocky knew that White had intended to do much more than cause a couple of bruises.
Lance and Allen were astonished at Rocky's beaten state.
Alyssa laughed scornfully and exclaimed, "Ha! You're dead, young man!" White was annoyed at the fact that Rocky was still standing in spite of taking three of his attacks. Any other Heavenly Stage spirit manipulator would've begged for mercy at that point. 'How did he manage to still survive?' White thought to himself with a murderous glare and his eyes blazing with hatred.
White dashed forward with his palm to try to end Rocky once and for all with a single move.
Rocky appeared to be too weak to try and dodge White's move this time. Lance and Allen were busy fighting off other enemies and were unable to help him. The deadly palm steadily made its way across the field and inched closer towards Rocky in the hopes of ending him for good.
