After a whole day's journey, Rocky finally saw the Wal City in the distance. The city looked very tranquil under the lights.
Rocky landed on a corner of the city wall right outside the Wal City with Ken. Then, he gently tucked Ken away and flew up along the city wall. Stealthily taking a peek, he saw that the city wall was heavily guarded.
"General Marcia was right," he murmured under his breath. "The walls are indeed heavily guarded." Scanning the city walls for a bit, he wracked his brains trying to come up with a solution. Then, he suddenly jumped onto the top of the city wall, suddenly revealing himself to the guards.
The guards were initially shocked at the sudden appearance of this mysterious figure, but they quickly recovered and gathered around him immediately.
Just then, Rocky pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger and turned it into a ferocious blade of flames that blazed under the dim moonlight. The blade shone with black luster, emanating the ominous aura of death.
Then, several screams suddenly pierced the initially quiet night.
It wasn't long before the sound of gongs and drums was heard all over the Wal City.
Countless figures rushed out of some buildings of the Wal City, and headed straight for the city walls.
The guards that had initially cornered Rocky were just now killed and turned into cold corpses. Soon, a large group of guards swarmed the city walls like an army of ants coming from both sides.
Rocky watched them approach with a calm smile.
The next moment, he gathered his spiritual power and summoned two beasts from the Magic Spiritual Space. Before they could even reach Rocky, the guards saw two huge beastly shadows looming before them.
"You play with them for a while. I'll be back soon," Rocky said to the two beasts before melting into the darkness.
About an hour later, Rocky spied a team of spirit manipulators at the Earthly Stage patrolling inside and outside an inconspicuous building located in the west of the Wal City.
Skulking from the shadows, Rocky silently pondered over this scene.
'This is the only building in
and flew directly into the room.
There, he found a handsome young man with captivating eyes. His appearance was impeccable, save for the cold expression he bore.
At just a glance, Rocky knew that this young, handsome man was Flint.
Moments prior, Flint had heard a loud sound outside, accompanied by miserable screams. He had been stunned when he saw someone suddenly rush in.
Before it even fully registered that the door was smashed open, Flint found that the ropes that bound him had all fallen to the ground.
"Who are you?" Flint asked as he squinted at this mysterious man before him. He looked young but calm, and Flint could tell his aura was unfathomably strong.
"Pfft," Rocky scoffed. "Is now really the time to ask questions? Let's get out of here first." Rolling his eyes, Rocky abruptly turned around and walked out of the room.
As soon as Flint heard Rocky's voice, he felt that his tone was somewhat familiar.
Glancing about him, Flint was a little surprised to see that Rocky had come here alone. However, it didn't take a genius to tell that this mysterious figure had come all the way here to save him, so Flint immediately followed him.
As Rocky and Flint emerged from the room, the remaining spirit manipulators watched them with wide eyes. No one dared to stop them, and some even looked as though at any moment they were going to kneel down and beg for mercy.
