Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 532

"You know Erica?" Tasha asked in surprise. She never expected Rocky to call out Erica's name. 'Have they ever met before? Or did he just hear about her?' she asked herself.

"Know her? I guess you could say that—if defeating her in combat counts, that is," Rocky replied with a wry smile.

"Liar! Are you delusional? How could you possibly be on Erica's level? She's in the Supernal Stage and can knock you down with just the twitch of her finger," Tasha said with doubt. Tasha was quite apprehensive of Rocky's words. Little did she know that she was conversing with the man who not only won over her and various phoenix spirit manipulators at the Holy Dragon Empire's national celebration but defeated Erica alongside Mia as well.

"The Supernal Stage? You mean she finally managed to break through and reach it?" Now it was Rocky's turn to be surprised. He was awestruck by the fact that Erica managed to upgrade from the Heavenly Stage to the Supernal Stage in just one year. Everyone knew just how difficult it was for spirit manipulators in the Heavenly Stage to break through the bottleneck into the Supernal Stage. Going as far back as ancient times, countless spirit manipulators in the Heavenly Stage had yet to break through into the Supernal Stage up until now—a regret many of them had to live with for the rest of their lives.

At a young age, Erica had managed to break through that very bottleneck that even her own predecessors couldn't overcome. Along with proving her unquestionably strong talent and intelligence, her rapid progress had made it hard for many experienced spirit manipulators to keep pace with her. All of this made her worthy of being called one of the rarest spirit manipulators in the Magic Phoenix Empire.

"So she scares you? Well then, you ought to be kinder to me. Otherwise, Erica won't spare you once she finds out about us," Tasha threatened with a triumphant note in her voice. Her face lit up with joy at the surprised look on Rocky's face.

"I already have you in the palm of my hand. Why should she scare me? Besides, a naive girl like you? Before she finds out, you might just…" Rocky stopped and then gave her a wry smile tinged with arrogance.

"I might just what? What are you planning to do with me?" Tasha asked fearfully. She became more alert upon seeing the smirk spread across Rocky's face.

"Don't you think you owe me something in return for saving your life?" Rocky asked mischievously as he walked closer to Tasha. She was so innocent—and so easy to tease and scare.

"If you come any closer, I'll scream for help. And if it's loud enough, Erica will save me. You'll be dead!" Tasha became more scared with each passing second. She was worried about what Rocky was planning on doing to her. Given her current strength, she was no match for Rocky. She realized she had no choice but to scream if Rocky tried to hurt her in any way.

"Alright then. Let's find out if there's any truth in what you said. Just scream." Rocky shrugged. He took his time with each step towards Tasha, slowly but surely closing the gap between them.

"You…" Tasha's eyes widened in surprise, not knowing what to do at that moment. She knew she couldn't defeat Rocky. And even if she could escape from him, she had nowhere to go. The Myriad Beasts Ground was a very dangerous place where even powerful spirit manipulators couldn't feel safe and sound in.

As Rocky inched closer to Tasha, she couldn't help but tremble in fear. Biting her pink lips, she immediately put down the three-tailed fox in her arms. Immediately, a flash of spiritual light spread from her body. She was ready to fight Rocky.

"I'm not interested in you. You're nothing more than a little girl—a baby," Rocky mocked her. Standing directly in front of her, Rocky looked at her up and down before proceeding to tap Tasha's forehead with the tip of his finger before turning and walking away from her towards Uriah.

Tasha protested, "A baby? I am not a baby! How dare you ridicule me like that?" Coming back to her senses, Tasha realized that Rocky intentionally intimidated her. Placing her hands on her hips, she shouted at him in anger.

However, Rocky simply ignored her. He only cared about Uriah at the moment. As he drew nearer, he immediately began studying his spirit-manipulated beast that just completed its transformation.
