The shock on Alston's face was as clear as day. He never expected Rocky to be able to fight back, after using one of his most powerful attacks on him.
Alston felt his body quiver. Without warning, a beam of thunder radiance burst out of him. The spell was broken and he returned to his normal state.
"Damn it!" Before he could make a move, Alston realized that he couldn't. His range of motion was hindered due to the side effect of the Spirit Possession.
"Kill... Kill... Kill!" Rocky shouted thrice in a row. Raising the Frozen Wind Dagger above him, he slashed at the open air with great speed and a strong whirlwind escaped the dagger's sharp edge.
Soon after, the Frozen Wind Dagger burst into flames and became a huge black torch that burned all the plants within a one hundred meter radius of it.
Rocky then waved the dagger with all his strength. Like a huge black dragon spreading its wings, the black flame spread dozens of meters across the sky before reaching the ground and encasing the surrounding area. Alston now found himself trapped under this dome of black flame.
Alston had no time to dodge. He was immediately consumed by the raging black flame that came crashing down from the sky.
"Your Royal Highness!" the injured black-robed spirit manipulator screamed. He rushed towards Alston and summoned all of his spiritual power to try to resist the attack.
But the black flame's power was too much. Despite his determination, the spirit manipulator was no match. Nothing of him remained, except for a pile of ashes.
"Damn it!" Alston cursed. Raising his right hand, he released the special power of the Thunder Dragon Spear.
With help from the spear, a flickering barrier of thunder and lightning appeared in front of Alston.
Boom...
A gigantic mushroom-shaped cloud appeared and rose toward the sky. Looking down from above, the area that had been covered in the black flame earlier had now sunk three feet deeper. All that was left of the area was hot ash and suffocating smoke. The whole scene was morbidly spectacular.
From the rubble appeared a man draped in burned, tattered clothes and with an ashen face. His entire right arm was completely damaged, and only charred flesh and exposed bone remained. However, his right hand managed to still hold on to something important—the Thunder Dragon Spear.
"My hand... My hand!" Alston screamed with bloodshot eyes as he stared down at his right hand, or at least what was left of it.
"Rocky, I'll kill you! Mark my words. You'll pay for this!" One would've mistaken him for a crazy person based on his scream alone.
Out of nowhere, a dark figure moved amidst the smoke and slowly made his way towards Alston.
"He... can still... move... But...his body shouldn't have... been able to bear all that... power..." Alston's face was plastered with fear upon seeing the dark figure inch closer towards him. It was probably the first time in his life that he had felt absolutely terrified. The one who made him feel just as afraid was Basil who was good-for-nothing in his eyes all the time.
