"You're finally here. I've waited for you for a long time, Ice Queen. Bring the Divine King Belial back to life as soon as possible. Only until then will he be truly yours..." Wraith King Sebastian said in a somber and deep voice.
"I can't thank you enough for this, Sebastian. I wouldn't have had the chance to control him if it weren't for you," Ice Queen said as she expressed her profound appreciation. After her voice trailed off, she turned around and locked her eyes at Wraith King Sebastian.
"What do you mean by that, Ice Queen?" As soon as Rocky heard their conversation, he immediately sensed that the two had clearly been keeping a secret.
"Remember your promise?" the Ice Queen questioned in response.
At that moment, Rocky's eyes narrowed. Of course, he remembered that. If he didn't, then surely, Alyssa's life would be ended by the Ice Queen.
"It's time to fulfill your promise. I will use your flesh to resurrect Belial into this world." The Ice Queen went straight to the point.
Rocky was a little bit surprised to hear the Ice Queen's thoughts. In fact, never had he expected that she only saved Alyssa so that she could use his body to bring the Divine King Belial back to life.
"Then I assume that Apollyon didn't tell you. Belial is not really dead. In fact, a wisp of his spiritual soul remains but is currently sealed somewhere secret. I think that he also wants to be reborn one day..." the Ice Queen remarked and revealed another shocking fact.
Having heard this for the first time, Rocky was taken aback. In fact, not once had the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast ever mentioned this to him.
"Why didn't you take my body before? Why do you have to wait until now?" Rocky asked as he wanted to know the truth.
"You are Belial's reincarnation. You have to be willing to sacrifice your body. Otherwise, Belial's spiritual soul would not merge with your body," answered the queen monotonously.
"With that being said, it would be useless for me to force you to do this." Upon hearing the very specific condition, Rocky could not help but sneer.
"So, will you be unwilling to do this? Take a look at her. Don't you want to keep her alive? Without the Heavenly Ice Soul, she would be nothing but a lifeless and cold corpse..." At that moment, the queen seemed to have hit Rocky's weak spot as she used Alyssa to change his mind.
"Basil, don't listen to her. Leave me alone." Alyssa had already known why she was resurrected, but she didn't know that Rocky was the one who helped her. That was why upon learning the entire truth, she wouldn't let Rocky sacrifice himself for her.
Meanwhile, Rocky glanced at Alyssa and then looked at the queen. His brows were knitted closely out of confusion as he tried to make sense of what he was hearing. Undoubtedly, he wanted to say no, because it was obvious that the queen and Wraith King Sebastian were brewing something up. Moreover, he thought that maybe the revival of the Divine King Belial was just an excuse. On the other hand, if he didn't agree to what the Ice Queen was asking of him, then Alyssa would definitely die.
"I need you to decide now. I don't have much patience," the queen demanded with a cold and cunning look in her eyes.
"I will never let you succeed, no matter what you are planning," Alyssa snapped as she suddenly placed her hand on her chest. Soon after, she released the Heavenly Ice Soul from her body gradually. Immediately, her face began to twist in excruciating pain. Since the Heavenly Ice Soul was integrated with her, she felt as if her skin was being peeled from her bones, forcefully separating the Heavenly Ice Soul from her body.
But, Alyssa didn't think twice about what she was doing. With firm resolution, she would rather sacrifice herself than let Rocky make any more sacrifices for her.
"Marcia, please stop her!" Seeing this horrifying scene, Rocky called out to Marcia right away for help.
"Stay where you are. Don't come near me," Alyssa yelled at Marcia.
At that moment, Marcia was in a great dilemma. She knew that once she made a choice, either Rocky or Alyssa would die.
