Soon enough, the news that Rocky had easily passed the test of the Heavenly Demon Tower was immediately reported to the king by a warrior that was guarding the tower.
Therefore, when Rocky and Layla arrived at the palace, they were welcomed with stares of awe coming from the elders and ministers of the royal family. Even the king could not hide his shock upon seeing that Rocky was already before him.
"Your Majesty, I have successfully gone through all the floors of the Heavenly Demon Tower. Now, as we have discussed, please entrust me with the task of protecting the Purgatorial Tripod," Rocky said directly right after saluting to the king.
"I actually did not expect you to pass through the Heavenly Demon Tower at all, but it seemed that I underestimated your real strength," the king remarked.
