"What a powerful array!" Rocky shouted out in surprise, as he scratched his head to find a solution.
"Well, the dagger in his hand looks familiar and I'm sure that I've seen it somewhere before. It must be a spiritual weapon. But this kind of spiritual weapon is extremely rare. Where did he get it from?" Isis murmured as she noticed the Frozen Wind Dagger in Rocky's hand. But she was unaware about why it looked quite familiar to her. At the same time, she was also surprised at the fact that Rocky was actually strong enough to own a spiritual weapon.
By this time, several masters of the Heavenly Stage had found out where Rocky was. They surrounded him from all directions, sealing off his escape route.
As those men were getting closer, Rocky retreated to a wooden pillar. Upon reaching the wooden pillar, with her eyes fixed on those men, Isis blamed Rocky, "You shouldn't have come here. This is one stupid decision of yours!"
"Hey, I'm here for you. Why don't you say something nice?" Rocky replied with raised eyebrows, content to see her annoying face, which was always adorable to him.
"Who wants you to save me? I don't need your help, and I hate to see you. You'd better disappear from here right away..." Isis replied like a spoiled child. Though she insisted stubbornly that she hated him, she was also worried about Rocky falling into the hands of the Timber Deity Empire.
"Right, I know we both are trying for a way to escape from here, but now, do you think we have the chance to escape?" Despite the covetous eyes falling on them, Rocky talked calmly as if they were chatting after a good dinner under the moonlight.
Isis sighed repeatedly after sweeping her eyes across the masters around them. Each of them were stronger than Rocky, and it was impossible for them to escape that easily. Even if they were to try, using all their might, there wasn't even a slim chance.
"As I said, you shouldn't have come here. It's a trap. You should have guessed it before you came..." Isis couldn't help but reproach him in a low voice.
"I can't help. I can't help but I came here as soon as I know you're trapped. I need to do something," Rocky sighed too. Before even starting his journey to the mountain, Rocky had already thought of this possibility. But he decided to come here anyway, as he could never stand aside, when Isis was in danger. That was what he always did.
Isis had a strange feeling. She couldn't help but cast a glance at Rocky, wondering the actual intent behind his words. 'Why should he care about me? Why does he risk his life to rescue me? Why?' Her eyes glittered as she asked herself silently.
"Boy, fold your hands for capture!" pointing his finger at Rocky, one of the masters of the Heavenly Stage shouted.
"I will surrender if you guys let her go first," Rocky replied with a smile. Of course, he knew it was impossible.
"Boy, don't be so ungrateful. We have been very polite to you by now. If not for the prince's order to keep you alive, do you think you could have still stood on your foot? Don't be silly!" a wretched, short man, who seemed a first grade master of the Heavenly Stage, shouted arrogantly.
"I'm sorry, guys. But I've shown my politeness to you, I'm afraid," Rocky replied. The look in Rocky's eyes became cold. He was giving off the vibe.
"Alright, let me teach you a lesson before the prince is here," the short man yelled, provoked by Rocky's fearless attitude. And then he walked towards him immediately.
"Just you..." Rocky spoke contemptuously, holding his dagger tightly.
"Boy, you're dead!" yelled the short man. He was so furious upon Rocky's words that, he activated his spiritual energy, exposing his power of the first grade of the Heavenly Stage.
"I'm waiting," Rocky said with calm, crooking his finger at the man.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you asking for death?" Isis complained, as she saw Rocky provoking the enemy. She was completely confused by his actions. She was certain that Rocky could by no means defeat them, especially when there were more than one of them.
