Chapter 112 Heartbreaking Battle
"Bang!" It slammed into Rocky's shoulder. He heard the bone in his right shoulder crack. He then felt a
sharp pain in his right arm that soon faded to a dull ache.
Rocky started to roar with laughter as he gripped his shoulder with his disabled arm. He then raised his
left arm and pointed it towards Iron's head. An ice talon immediately shot out from it, carrying the
spiritual power at the middle grade of the Heavenly Stage.
Iron did not expect that Rocky would use himself as a bait and hit him with such a strong power. His
eyes were wide open in shock as he saw the ice talon coming straight for his head.
Iron gave out a long piercing scream before his head violently exploded.
The look on everyone's faces, including Alston, was of pure astonishment. They could not believe what
they had just witnessed.
"How could this be possible?" Alston's eyes widened in disbelief. He had seen Rocky defeat his
opponent from the Magic Phoenix Empire during the Dragon Birth Festival with the same technique. At
that time, he had thought Rocky had just been lucky. However, now that he had seen the technique for
a second time, it seemed that it was not that simple.
The fact that a royal spirit manipulator at the entry grade of the Earthly Stage managed to kill a spirit
manipulator at the middle grade of the Heavenly Stage was absolutely incredible.
However, the battle left Rocky in a bad shape. His right arm was limp at his side and he was spitting
out blood. Soon, he was no longer able to hold himself together and collapsed onto the ground.
Hawk was fuming in anger at witnessing Iron got killed. The next second, his spiritual power rushed out
and he was filled with murderous intent. His talon came straight for Rocky who was now defenseless
and could only watch as he attacked.
Rocky felt as if everything was in slow motion.
Just as Rocky was about to meet his end at the hands of Hawk, a shadow swooped in like a hurricane
and made its way to Rocky's side. It then bit Hawk's wrist.
Hawk screamed in pain and shook off the beast as he tried to retrieve his hand. He drew a few steps
backwards and stared at the figure that was standing right next to Rocky.
It was Uriah. It had sensed that its master was in danger and came to the rescue.
"What are you doing here, buddy?" Rocky weakly chuckled as he patted Uriah's head.
Uriah howled a couple of times before it started to lick Rocky's wound.
"You came just in time. The last half bottle of the magical saliva just might work." Rocky managed to sit
himself up and downed the last magical saliva that he fetched from inside his clothes. He then took out
the yellow spiritual crystal.
Uriah roared. It seemed to be ready for the last stand with its master. Rocky then placed the yellow
spiritual crystal into Uriah's open mouth. It immediately swallowed the crystal and its body was
illuminated with a bright light as waves of spiritual power poured out.
Rocky then settled his hand on Uriah's forehead and absorbed the spiritual power from the crystal
using his dragon spiritual power. His wounds instantly started to heal as the absorbed spiritual power
began to fill his entire body.
Most of his wounds and injuries were soon healed except for his right arm, which needed a much more
careful treatment.
Alston was once again shocked to see Rocky transform as if he was reborn.
"Prince Alston, should we join the fight?" The other two guards at the middle grade of the Heavenly
Stage asked.
"He's only at the Earthly Stage, but it's still going to take four of my guards at the Heavenly Stage to
defeat him? I don't think so. We'll become a laughing stock if we do. What happened just then was an
accident," Alston coldly said, glaring at Rocky's direction.
"Hawk!" Alston shouted.
Hawk grew solemn, as he knew that if he failed at killing Rocky again, Alston would not trust him any
longer. His hand morphed into a talon and ripped a hole in the space, from which a giant eagle-like
shadow flew right out. It hovered in the air for a few seconds before it swooped down towards Rocky
and Uriah.
Rocky turned to look at it and saw that it was an owl with two heads and four talons. It looked to be a
four-star spirit-manipulated beast, with an aura more intense than Uriah's. It must be at the third grade
of the four-star level.
However, as frighteningly enormous as the beast was, Uriah was not one bit scared to confront it head-
on. Uriah charged towards the beast and a heated confrontation immediately began between the two.
At the same moment, Rocky suddenly saw a shadow appear from his periphery. He hurriedly moved to
the side to avoid it, but he was a fraction of a moment too late as a talon slashed through his right
shoulder and left a deep cut from that shoulder down to his arm. The shadow quickly disappeared and
he then felt another freezing aura coming from behind him.
"Damn, he's fast!" Rocky said, narrowing his eyes. He immediately activated his dragon spiritual power
and turned around to take the hit. Chaos erupted. Rocky then absorbed the power of the incoming
attack, raised his left arm, and released the power he just absorbed.
The shadow disappeared again in an instant. The power Rocky released hit the ground instead and
blew a huge hole in it.
"What kind of trick are you playing?" The shadow reappeared. It was Hawk. He hadn't made use of all
of his strength a while ago, causing the death of Iron and his failure to kill Rocky. So this time, he did
not hold anything back and directed all his power towards Rocky. However, he did find Rocky's attack
quite strange. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Hawk was not initially aware that as Rocky absorbed energy, his body would experience a shockwave
because of the difference in strength. Even with this special skill, he could only use it three times
consequently.
He had already used it once, so he would only be able to use two more times, tops.
Hawk was at the middle grade of the Heavenly Stage and noticed this weakness of his. He pressed on
and forced Rocky into using the skill for the second time. Rocky's condition was starting to deteriorate
and his face was twisting in agony.
At the same time, Uriah was now pinned down by the two-headed owl and therefore would not be able
to lend a helping hand.
The situation was starting to go south for Rocky.
"Hawk Storm!" Hawk utilized his deadliest spiritual martial arts attack. His whole body turned into
countless shadows and ice talons that rapidly shot to the ground, creating sparks wherever they
landed.
Rocky tried his best to dodge the attacks, but he still took several hits.
As Rocky ran for his life, Hawk found an opening and made himself appear in front of Rocky. He
smirked victoriously at him.
"Hawk Rip!" Hawk crossed his hands and slashed down. Two giant shadows of talons immediately tore
through the space. They closed in on Rocky in a flash.
Seeing that he would no longer be able to dodge it, he activated the dragon spiritual power once again
and tried to absorb the power of the two giant talon shadows. Hawk anticipated this move and his hand
cut straight to Rocky's chest just as he was about to absorb the power. It cut deep into his flesh like a
sharp blade. Spiritual power flowed into Rocky's body through the tips of his fingers.
Rocky felt a stabbing pain in his chest as the invading spiritual power wreaked havoc inside his body.
Within seconds, his spiritual power went completely out of control and he was soon immobilized.
Uriah saw that its master was in distress and it immediately came running towards him, giving the two-
headed owl an opportunity to sneak an attack behind its back. It sunk its talons deep into Uriah's body
and carried it up in the air. Once it was high up, it shook Uriah off its talon. In a flash, Uriah fell to
ground and lay there, motionless.
"Uriah!" Rocky screamed out. His face was contorted in agony and his eyes were filled with fury. He
wanted to run to it and help it, but he was unable to move.
Hawk was indeed a fearsome opponent. He lifted Rocky up and then smashed him to the ground,
causing blood to gush out of Rocky's mouth. He could not even get up this time.
"Ha-ha! I see… You care a lot about this thing. I will tear it to pieces!" Hawk howled with laughter and
pressed his foot down onto Rocky, sneering at him.
The two-headed owl aligned its flight path and aimed at Uriah for the final attack.
"No! Don't you dare touch it, or I swear I will... Kill… I will kill you." Rocky glared at Hawk. He struggled
quite a bit as he forced himself to stand up, pushing Hawk's foot away.
Hawk was somewhat alarmed to see that Rocky was still able to get up. He then immediately kicked
him back down to the ground again.
At that moment, the two-headed owl had once again swooped down at Uriah and had grabbed it by the
limbs with its four talons, ready to rip it apart.
