"But it's too dangerous for you to do that alone," Lucilla said, her voice shrouded with worry.
Sabina nodded in agreement.
"Lucilla is right. You're not strong enough. It's better to let my grandfather do it," Shirley added.
Rocky smiled calmly and said, "It will be easier for me to flee." With that, he summoned Ken and vanished with it before they could stop him.
A moment later, violent explosions rang out from the habitat of the Fierce Eagle Dragons. Obviously, Rocky and Ken created the explosions. After the deafening noise, they quickly headed to the west. The dragons, startled by the explosions, grew angry and chased after the man and the beast.
Soon, there were almost no beasts left in the habitat.
"Let's go." Marcia nodded to the team.
They crossed the habitat and ran all the way to the other side. Although they had to still encounter some Fierce Eagle Dragons halfway through the habitat, with Bryant, Marcia and Sheridan leading the way, they successfully passed through.
They reached an area covered with stones and decided to rest there while waiting for Rocky to come back.
The group waited for more than half a day, but Rocky was nowhere in sight.
"Could anything bad have happened to him?" Lucilla asked, stealing a glance at Marcia worriedly.
"That guy just likes to play tough," Shirley snorted.
"If it weren't for Basil, we couldn't have come past the habitat so smoothly," Sabina retorted, glaring at Shirley.
Shirley glared back at her with the same intensity of hate.
"I'll go and find him," Marcia said, getting up from the stone ground. She was worried about him too. He was followed by a bunch of beasts, after all.
But just as Marcia got ready to move out, a figure covered in weeds and dirt appeared in front of them. As soon as the women saw the figure, they couldn't help smiling.
"It must have been hard to get rid of them all." Marcia covered her mouth and smirked at the sight of him.
"Rocky, are you hurt?" Sheridan aske
beast with all his strength.
The cave rumbled under the sudden explosion.
When the three women outside heard the noise, they looked at each other. Then they rushed into the cave and saw a supernatural beast that had been split in half and fell to the ground, turning into ashes.
"Basil! Are you okay?" Sabina rushed towards him.
"I'm fine," he replied, turning to the shocked women. Then his gaze fell on the ring on his finger. Judging from the sudden reaction of the ring, it seemed to him that it was stranger and more powerful than he had imagined.
"You killed a supernatural beast on your own? All alone?" Shirley exclaimed, staring at the corpse on the ground.
"You have to ask? Can't you see the dead beast?" Sabina smirked at Shirley, glad to show off Rocky's strength.
"I wasn't talking to you!" Shirley replied angrily. She hadn't planned to say anything, but was too surprised by the scene in front of them.
Sabina snorted.
"Let's get some rest now," Rocky interrupted, hoping to stop their quarrel. Along the journey, the two women fought non-stop, like born enemies.
Shirley had been this way since she was a child. However, Sabina, who usually was cool-headed, became angry every time she saw Shirley. In contrast, Lucilla was much calmer. She pulled Sabina by her hand and walked into the cave.
