Chapter 1314 The Fierce Battle

Most of the people were surprised that Rocky would show up out of the blue. But instead of his usual aura of being the savior of the day, he appeared to be an evil monster that hated by most of the people present.

His appearance prompted an uproar from the crowd around him. Not long after, they pointed their fingers at Rocky and started to exchange their thoughts with each other about how much he had changed.

But Rocky just ignored the whispers around him. He focused his eyes on the figure in the red robe and said distantly, "Alston, you don't have to hide anymore. You're just waiting for me, aren't you?"

"Ha ha..." The figure in red suddenly burst into loud laughter upon hearing Rocky's words. He took off the hood that covered his face, instantly revealing his true identity in front of everyone present. Contrary to what people were expecting, his face was not from a spiritual race being but rather from just a normal human.

Seeing this, the crowd boiled up right away. At that moment, everyone's jaws were agape and had their eyes wide open as they could not find the right words to express their astonishment.

Every single person present was completely discombobulated after realizing that Alston, who had resurrected, had the strength and power to fight against the top masters of the Holy Dragon Empire—Bryant, Marcia, and several elders of the royal family.

The several strong masters had been well aware that Alston was still alive. Despite this, they still could not believe that it was real until they saw it with their own eyes.

"Alston!" Lena shouted in anger as she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"Since when did you have your human body?" Rocky questioned grimly. Shock crept Rocky's veins. Last time he saw Alston, he was still in the body of a fish monster from the spiritual race. But of course, the most important takeaway from the entire scenario was that Alston's strength seemed to have changed. Seeing Alston in this body, Rocky felt that he had obtained a more intense kind of power.

"Why? Are you saying that I can't have this body?" Alston laughed audaciously.

But this was not Rocky's immediate concern at that moment. In fact, he knew deep inside that Alston planned this all along. Rocky believed that Alston was trying to lure him out by stirring a commotion about the succession ceremony. Moreover, he thought that Alston came alone, without any backup, this time. If this were the case, then Alsto

"You stupid old man!" Alston taunted as he made another move. But not long after, another strapping figure stood in front of Lance.

"Chief Bryant!" Lance exclaimed as he saw who tried to protect him and his family.

"I'll take it from here, General Lance. Let me deal with him. Go and take them to a safe place," Bryant said gently.

"Thank you." Lance nodded politely and looked at Isis and her son. "Let's leave. It's too dangerous to be here."

On the other hand, Isis couldn't help but look at Rocky with confusion and sadness written on her face.

"Come on, let's go." Lance also took a quick look at Rocky, sighed, and urged his daughter to leave.

Finally, Isis and her son were about to leave the square with Lance's protection and a group of palace guards protecting them from every angle.

Without a doubt, Alston wouldn't let Isis and her son leave so easily. Just as he was about to launch another attack towards them, Bryant stepped in and stopped him.

Several elders of the royal family saw this and did not hesitate to join the battle.

Not long after, another fierce battle broke out. In a flash, Alston was able to seriously injure two elders of the royal family. Aside from them, Bryant and other elders of the royal family were also slightly injured to varying degrees. At that moment, it was clear that Alston's strength could not be resisted even by the most powerful human spirit manipulators.

From start to finish, Rocky was just there, standing on the side, coldly watching the fight unfold in front of him. He did not move a muscle, as if he had no business joining the fight, like a normal bystander.
