Rocky had some time, so he decided to go check on Verdanim at the beast farm first. After all, he had not seen it in a while now. He looked at the wound on Verdanim's lower abdomen, carefully scrutinising the skin around it. It seemed to be healing very well and he was certain that the suture would come off soon. However, the limb was a different ball game altogether. Until they took the plates off, Rocky would never know how that injury was doing.
Everything looked okay at the beast farm and so Rocky lumbered down the dusty pathways and made his way to the old abandoned house. This was his happy place, and he felt at peace here. On reaching the threshold, Rocky began to practice and work on his capabilities. He was almost at the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage now and only a little more spiritual power would be needed, before he could reach the sixth grade. He couldn't help but think that had he absorbed more spiritual power while he was in the belly of the Demonic Devouring Boa, he would have easily reached the sixth grade by now.
As he sat there, with just his thoughts to ponder over and nowhere else to be, Rocky went into a state of deep thinking. He could not figure out how everything had occurred. Demonic Devouring Boa's belly was a dangerous place to be in. But even then, while he was in there, he knew that a part of the boa's spiritual power had been transferred to him. It was strange, that not all the power that the boa had possessed swarmed into him. It was, as if, the rest of the power simply disappeared into thin air.
But what Rocky did not know was that the spiritual power from the boa had not disappeared. It had instead, been absorbed by the power of the Holy Dragon Bead. Even though Marcia had succeeded in sealing the powers of the Holy Dragon Bead, the first layer of the seal would be loose as he grew stronger.
As Rocky had reached the fifth grade of the Earthly Stage back then, the first layer of the seal was not as solid as before. The power of the Holy Dragon Bead worked and absorbed the invading spiritual power.
In a way, the power that was absorbed had benefited Rocky because otherwise, his body would not have been able to survive the exposure to so much power. Rocky's body was still refining the powers and was not equipped to handle so much in one go.
There was no way that Rocky could have refined so much spiritual power, all by himself. Had it not been for the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, Rocky would have most certainly died in the boa's belly itself.
As Rocky's power grew, the sealing power of the first layer would have gone kaput and endless power of the Holy Dragon Bead would be unleashed. This power would have been too much for Rocky to control and manipulate. Only someone who reached the Heavenly Stage would have the ability to control this magnitude of power. In fact, the power that was unleashed could be stored for a critical time.
Rocky spent the night in the abandoned house and stepped out of it the next morning. As he did, he saw a strange, colourful figure, pacing back and forth, in front of the house. Uriah and Rubygon, who had been keeping a constant vigilance on the house, looked at this new figure with suspicion.
"You almost killed me yesterday!" Rocky wasn't sure if his accusations were justified. His voice quavered with self-doubt.
The colorful figure in front of him was Rainbow Glow Unicorn - the troublemaker responsible for getting Rocky into all sorts of problems.
And even though the beautiful creature understood what Rocky said, it stood there innocently howling, as if it didn't know what he was talking about.
