"Thunder Dragon Strike!" Without warning, Liam leaped high into the air before rushing downwards with widespread arms made stronger by the spiritual power. The sky was lit up by two dragon-shaped lightning bolts which were then followed by the violent crackle and boom of a thunderstorm.
Liam wanted to end the war with this strike.
"Burn Heaven and Earth..." With the power imbued by the Heavenly Stage, Liam's fierce spiritual martial arts now blocked Rocky in every single direction. The oncoming strike would be impossible to escape. Then Rocky calmed down and lifted his arms. Calling Evil Flame, Rocky attacked Liam with full strength.
Although he was hit by Rocky's flames, Liam's thunderbolts remained intact and even managed to pierce through the Evil Flame instantly.
With no other place to retreat to, Rocky gathered his spiritual power to wield his Frozen Wind Dagger to fend off Liam's attack.
Bang!
The dragon-shaped lightning bolt met the Frozen Wind Dagger with a deafening crash, illuminating the whole area with a blinding light.
The impact resulted in a huge shock wave that caused the ground under Rocky's feet to collapse.
"Ptooey!" Rocky spat out a mouthful of blood as he felt his hands shake from the attack. Even with the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, he wasn't able to fill the strength gap between him and Liam.
It was a miracle he could still manage to stand on his own two feet. An ordinary, first-grade spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage would've easily succumbed to the attacks of a fourth-grade spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage.
Rocky wouldn't back down. Clenching his teeth, he started his counterattack by waving his Frozen Wind Dagger. A single but powerful Evil Flame burst out and transformed into a Moon Blade that forcefully pushed Liam back.
'How could a spirit manipulator of Rocky's level be able to push me away with such power?' Liam thought to himself in awe. Rocky should've at least been gravely injured with his attack. Instead, he only suffered minor injuries. To his further astonishment, Liam realized that Rocky was still standing upright and even managed to strike back again. That was far beyond Liam's imagination.
For Rocky, that attack took quite a lot of effort. Liam's power was hard to rival which forced him to use the power of the Holy Dragon Bead. However, using the power had a catch—the more it was used, the more suffering it would cause the user to endure. Because the distance between them was so vast, using the power meant bringing destruction to himself.
Therefore, he had no other choice but to utilize the Holy Dragon Bead's power. But the result was not good.
Knowing Liam was powerful, Rocky decided not to execute the same strategy he usually used on his opponents—by consuming their powers while simultaneously restoring his own through magical saliva, waiting for the chance to kill the opponent in a single attack. But now he couldn't catch such a chance to do that. He could no longer bear three more attacks—which were the equivalent of the assault he had just endured.
Although he could take a chance on his Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill, he was still at level one and quite inexperienced with it. So, this skill wouldn't work for him this time.
Considering all of these, he decided that the only way to close the gap between them was to activate the spirit possession with Uriah.
If he used the skill with Uriah, Rubygon must face Liam's Timber spirit-manipulated beast, a third-grade beast of four star level on its own, which Rubygon couldn't face against for too long.
