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 slashed 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 flames and became a huge black torch that burned all the plants within a one hundred meter radius of it.

Rocky then waved the dagger with all his strength. Like a huge black dragon spreading its wings, the black flame 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 black flame.

Alston had no time to dodge. He was immediately consumed by the raging black flame that came crashing down from the sky.

"Your Royal Highness!" the injured black-robed spirit manipulator screamed. He rushed towards Alston and summoned all of his spiritual power to try to resist the attack.

But the black flame's power was too much. Despite his determination, the spirit manipulator 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 black flame earlier had now sunk three feet deepe

he'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 wound later. 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 annihilated the last of his senses.

Sue seemed so far away, even though she was now just one step away from where he was.

Black lines, like poisoned veins, began to run all over Rocky's face. At the same time, the black 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.
