Chapter 894 Almost Falling Down

Rocky was gasping for air as though he had just experienced a moment of life or death. A twinge of fear was glimmering through his expression in spite of having overcome the situation. And yet most of the feeling rushing past the adrenaline was the simply boundless relief of having survived.

"Oh god, thank you... Thanks, you saved my life!" He panted heavily as he felt his nerves start to relax from the strain and the rush. He took a glance at the person who had saved him, even though he already knew who it would be without having to look up.

It couldn't have been anyone but Alyssa, and there she was.

"That power that you've got hidden inside you... I want to know where it came from. And why is it so...evil? When I felt it, I felt that malice run through to my bones. It's beyond anything I can truly understand. This kind of power isn't something humans should ever possess!" Alyssa's questions all came out in a rush, her voice shaking with shock.

"Look, just don't ask, okay? Please. None of this has anything to do with you. It's better off staying that way." Rocky's tone was cold and sullen, and he couldn't meet her eyes. There were just some things he hadn't been prepared to talk about.

At that, Alyssa's eyebrows knitted into a frown. With a harsh exhale, she replied, "I've sealed that...thing! I sealed it using my skill of our wooden spirit, but I can't really tell you how long that will last. If I had to guess, I'd say about three days. But if I don't help you seal it back down again, you're going to be in serious danger. You can't do this on your own, Rocky. Now, I can't help you if you don't tell me more about what is going on here. And you know what will happen if I can't help. Are you still going to try and keep me in the dark about all this, knowing all of that? Look... I know this is a terrible situation especially for you, but please. Please! I'm the only person here who can really help you right now! I'm not trying to invade your privacy or force you to do this, but we just don't have a choice anymore. I need to know. If you tell me, we might be able to figure out a better solution on how we can deal with that thing!"

She meant every word, even as her breath heaved with the passion of her statement. This was all for Rocky's sake in the end, because he would otherwise be in vast jeopardy. If Rocky would just give her a little more information to go on with, or at least tell her what kind of evil they were dealing with, she might be able to find a better way to seal whatever he was hiding in his body.

The truth was that she was already aware of that evil power nesting within Rocky. She had felt and seen it when they were cultivating together. But it wasn't until just now that she realized exactly how immense this evil power was. It was more than she could comprehend, and almost beyond her power to entirely seal it. If she was going to continue to aid Rocky in sealing

elped him settle down onto the ground. As soon as she was certain he would be alright by himself, she leapt into the air and materialized standing in front of Moon Fox.

As soon as Moon Fox saw Alyssa, it let out a mournful wail.

Skyfall stood flabbergasted as he hadn't expected Alyssa to make it back in time, or at all. His face morphed into rage as he looked around the area and found his partner missing. Earthrise could be dead for all he knew.

"If you had even the slightest brains in your head, Skyfall, I'd imagine you'd take my advice and leave right now! Unless you want to end up like your partner Earthrise." Alyssa sneered, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Humph! You don't think this is going to go your way that easily, do you? There's no way you'll be able to beat me if you've spent all this time fighting Earthrise. It won't be long before Moon Fox collapses too. It's been fighting me and my guardian beast for a while now. Trust me, you've no hope of winning, even if the two of you pour every last drop of energy that you have left!" Skyfall grinned with almost psychotic glee, anticipating the taste of victory. He had apparently seen right through Alyssa's bravado, knowing that after such a battle with Earthrise, she would have already expended far too much energy to win.

For a moment, Alyssa bit back her retort, knowing that he might have determined that he had the advantage of her. But rolling over and playing dead? That just wasn't her style.

"Get that bitch!" Skyfall snarled out the command to the Demonic-skeleton Wolf.

Immediately, the beast rushed over ground like an avalanche, launching itself straight to Alyssa along with Skyfall in a brutal attack.

"Go!" Skyfall cried out. Dark clouds flooded the skies, and instead of thunder, there was the sound of bone-chilling shrieking and wailing from the agony of ghosts. Black shadows formed in the air and whirled down screaming towards Alyssa and Moon Fox.
