Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 484

"Deputy Commander in Chief, it seems I have no other choice, now that disaster is imminent. However, I'd rather join the Timber Deity Empire than die here alongside you," Rocky said wistfully. "At least there, I can enjoy a few precious moments of glory and wealth." Upon seeing that Isis was seething at his words, Rocky remained calm.

"I must have misjudged you," replied Isis haughtily. She felt rage surging within her; she knew she shouldn't have trusted him from the very beginning.

Woods and Liam sensed the tension between Rocky and Isis. They exchanged glances.

"Commander Bai, if you are truly willing to join Timber Deity Empire, you have to prove your loyalty to His Royal Highness. If you can fulfill my request, I will believe you." As Isis had begun to fume at Rocky, Liam had been observing them coldly.

"Fine then, what is your request?" Rocky asked nonchalantly.

"Kill her!" Liam said with a flourish, pointing a finger at Isis.

Rocky turned to face Isis, a frown planted firmly on his face.

"Liam..." Woods was stunned. He knew it was not in their best interest to have Isis killed, so he was dubious as to why Liam would test Rocky's loyalty this way. After some thoughts, however, he realized that this might be the only way to test Rocky, thus he allowed Liam to have his way.

"You evil bastards!" Isis spat at Liam. She glared at him, her eyes filled with rage.

"Commander Bai," ignoring Isis, Liam turned to Rocky. "If you kill her, I swear I will introduce you to the lovely princess. I promise you a life full of luxury." Liam's eyes shone mischievously.

"But I'm no match for her," Rocky answered reluctantly.

"That's easy," Liam replied with a devious smile. He nodded towards the only girl among the Heavenly Stage masters.

The woman acknowledged him by gently waving her slender arm. A wooden mark climbed up seemingly from nowhere, like vines intertwined. At its peak, a tender flower blossomed. The flower glided through the air, entering the magic array. It seemed to be making its way towards Isis.

Upon seeing the approaching flower, Isis stepped back, gathered her spiritual power, and infused it into her arm which turned into a wind dashing toward the flower in a flash. Hit by the blow from Isis, the flower exploded into a large amount of power which engulfed Isis. In surprise, she instantly released a huge wind to puff away the powder.

"It's too late. The pollen has poisoned you the instant you touched it," said the woman with a laugh. Hearing that, Isis felt hot all over her body and it seemed that something strange was tantalizing her. She attempted to resist it with her spiritual power but only to find that the strange feeling increased so much that she barely had strength to keep standing anymore.

"Haha, to tell you what, this philter pollen is designed for men but is also effective in women. Exerting more spiritual power could only increase its effect," the woman revealed and then leered at Rocky, seeming to hint at something.

Liam then turned to Rocky and said, "You may now begin. She is no longer able to use her spiritual powers here."

Rocky faced Liam with a dubious smile. "Are you really going to kill her? She is such a good and meek hostage. It's a pity if we don't make good use of her."

"It doesn't matter. Killing her would be like breaking one of Lance's limbs. It will greatly reduce the morale of the Crimson Dragon Army. With their forces weakened, you could defeat the Crimson Dragon Army within a month, yes? That would be enough for the princess," Liam replied with a sneer.

Rocky listened to Liam's words carefully. He glanced at Woods, who had been silent all this time. Woods remained wordless. Rocky struggled — 'These people of the Timber Deity Empire truly are vicious, they are actually testing me!' However, he knew that if he didn't do as they said, he wouldn't be able to fool them.

Rocky knew he couldn't waste time. If they sensed his hesitation, the people of Timber Deity Empire would instantly see through his plan. But the pressing problem was that Isis had been caught off guard; it was impossible for her to escape by herself.

Rocky felt anxious. Still, he tried to summon spiritual power from within his body, and immediately strode up to Isis. Rocky knew he could only take a gamble now.
