The golden dragon growled fiercely as it coiled itself around Rocky without warning. Locked in its painful embrace, Rocky struggled desperately to break free. The more he resisted, the tighter the dragon's grip became. As the light emanated by the dragon glowed, the black air surrounding him began to disperse. The evil presence was waning.
Everyone present was shocked.
When Sabina noticed the evil presence all around Rocky was being crushed by the golden dragon, she hopped off of Duchess Silver's back and rushed towards Rocky in huge strides. Gathering all of her spiritual power in her palm, she smacked the golden dragon with all her might.
Suddenly, the golden dragon glistened with light which then penetrated Rocky's body. This caused the evil forces to retreat within the remaining eight layers of seal.
As the evil power that consumed Rocky began to recede, he found himself on the verge of fainting. Quickly noticing this, Sabina lunged forward and broke his fall with an embrace.
Sabina found herself irritated and her cheeks flush in embarrassment as Rocky leaned against her. She knew that pushing him away was impossible, so she had to curb her temper for the time being.
All the men found themselves jealous of the lucky Rocky.
"What do we do now, sir?" Liam turned his gaze to Woods.
Woods remained silent as he fixed his eyes on Rocky and Sabina.
A soldier arrived and announced, "The outer layer of the Magic Lotus Array has been breached! A huge army of Crimson Dragon Army soldiers is charging through at this moment!"
After a minute of careful thinking, Woods commanded, "Give them my order to retreat the entire army east out of Hippo Land." Rocky had broken the Magic Lotus Array. If they fought, the death toll would surely rise.
Under Woods' command, the Timber Deity Empire soldiers retreated swiftly to the east.
Meanwhile, Marin and Dunn rushed and led the Thunder Bird Legion and the White Tiger Legion to unite with the Iron Dino Legion.
Seeing Rocky unconscious in Sabina's arms, Marin rushed and asked with eyes wide in shock, "What happened, Commander Ji?"
"He's fine. His spiritual power just ran out." Not wanting to explain further, Sabina quickly handed over Rocky to Marin.
Before Marin could respond, the unconscious Rocky was already leaning against her. She felt her cheeks start to flush but still managed to wrap her arms around Rocky's waist to keep him from tumbling down.
"I can take care of him, Commander Marin." Dunn told Marin hastily.
"Don't bother. I'll take him back to our camp. You lead the army to conquer the camp and make sure that all Timber Deity Empire's garrison has left." Marin summoned Verdanim and helped Rocky mount the creature that would take them back to the camp on the hill.
As she watched Marin accompany Rocky back and the Dragon Twined Wood in her hand, Sabina now understood what her master meant with Rocky needing her protection.
It still baffled her—the horrible, evil power that lurked within Rocky. He wasn't ordinary, which was for sure. There was something about him that he desperately tried to hide.
