"Yes, human beings do not have sufficient strength to fight Alston. Although we have the support of the Dragon Master Clan and the Butterfly Divine Clan, these two clans' power is inadequate to match the joint forces of the three clans led by Alston, the Heavenly Demon Clan, the Ghost Master Clan, and the Giants Clan. The Phoenix Master Clan and the Wood Clan are probably still mad at me because of what happened last time. Besides, if they consider the Divine Spiritual Source, they can't possibly fight for me. Given everything that has happened, you may have to lay low for a while. It would be a wise idea to rest, regain your power, and avoid a confrontation with Alston. When the time is right, you can fight him to the death..." Rocky said seriously.
"What about you? You won't return with us, will you?" Marcia asked as if she had seen through Rocky.
"With me by your side, things will only become more complicated and troublesome. Besides, some things I have to face alone. Most importantly, I will leave you sooner or later, so I don't want to hurt you anymore..." Rocky replied with a helpless sigh.
"What do you mean? What on earth are you hiding from me?" Marcia frowned. The combined feelings of curiosity and suspicion left her uneasy.
"Even if I explain, there's nothing we can do to change it. Some things are destined." Rocky lowered his gaze and shook his head. He appeared defeated, which only served to unsettle Marcia further.
"I won't let you out of my sight unless you tell me," came Marcia's serious reply.
"Why are you doing this?" Rocky's brows knitted tightly as he failed to understand why she was pressing him so much.
"Will you tell me or not?" Marcia persisted as she stared at him with her beautiful eyes.
Aware that he would not win this battle, and comforted by the knowledge that Marcia was a woman of her word, Rocky decided to tell her. On some level, he hoped that after learning the truth, Marcia would give up.
"What did you say? You are not Basil..." Astonishment and disbelief glimmered in Marcia's beautiful eyes.
"Yes, my soul doesn't belong to this world. It entered this world by accident. Once my soul attached itself to Basil's body, his soul fell asleep."
"But what did you mean when you said that you would leave sooner or later?" Marcia couldn't help but ask.
"I had overused my power. As a result, my soul was damaged and incomplete. My soul may disappear at any time..." Rocky shifted uncomfortably as he explained. "Your father told me about it."
"Is that what my father said to you before he died?" It never occurred to Marcia that her father already knew that Rocky's soul did not belong to this world and even became incomplete.
Rocky nodded.
"I don't understand. Since you know all this, why do you still work so hard?" Marcia was both angry and distressed. The thought of separating from him left her stomach in knots. Equally, learning that he had hidden something so important from her stirred her temper.
