Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 894

Rocky was gasping for air as though he had just experienced a moment of life or death. A twinge of fear was glimmering through his expression in spite of having overcome the situation. And yet most of the feeling rushing past the adrenaline was the simply boundless relief of having survived.

"Oh god, thank you... Thanks, you saved my life!" He panted heavily as he felt his nerves start to relax from the strain and the rush. He took a glance at the person who had saved him, even though he already knew who it would be without having to look up.

It couldn't have been anyone but Alyssa, and there she was.

"That power that you've got hidden inside you... I want to know where it came from. And why is it so...evil? When I felt it, I felt that malice run through to my bones. It's beyond anything I can truly understand. This kind of power isn't something humans should ever possess!" Alyssa's questions all came out in a rush, her voice shaking with shock.

"Look, just don't ask, okay? Please. None of this has anything to do with you. It's better off staying that way." Rocky's tone was cold and sullen, and he couldn't meet her eyes. There were just some things he hadn't been prepared to talk about.

At that, Alyssa's eyebrows knitted into a frown. With a harsh exhale, she replied, "I've sealed that...thing! I sealed it using my skill of our wooden spirit, but I can't really tell you how long that will last. If I had to guess, I'd say about three days. But if I don't help you seal it back down again, you're going to be in serious danger. You can't do this on your own, Rocky. Now, I can't help you if you don't tell me more about what is going on here. And you know what will happen if I can't help. Are you still going to try and keep me in the dark about all this, knowing all of that? Look... I know this is a terrible situation especially for you, but please. Please! I'm the only person here who can really help you right now! I'm not trying to invade your privacy or force you to do this, but we just don't have a choice anymore. I need to know. If you tell me, we might be able to figure out a better solution on how we can deal with that thing!"

She meant every word, even as her breath heaved with the passion of her statement. This was all for Rocky's sake in the end, because he would otherwise be in vast jeopardy. If Rocky would just give her a little more information to go on with, or at least tell her what kind of evil they were dealing with, she might be able to find a better way to seal whatever he was hiding in his body.

The truth was that she was already aware of that evil power nesting within Rocky. She had felt and seen it when they were cultivating together. But it wasn't until just now that she realized exactly how immense this evil power was. It was more than she could comprehend, and almost beyond her power to entirely seal it. If she was going to continue to aid Rocky in sealing it, it was imperative that she knew more about it.

"Where's Earthrise anyway? You didn't kill him, did you?" Rocky abruptly changed the subject, clearly uncomfortable.

"No, I didn't. But I did badly injure him. I could've killed him if I put my mind to it, but he's too slick and cunning for that. He slipped away before I could. I doubt that he's a threat to us now," Alyssa replied with a bitter snort, somewhat marveling at Rocky's obstinacy.

"Well I'm glad to hear that at least. Otherwise, I've suffered through all of this for nothing!" Rocky shook his head with a deep sigh. If it had not been for the fact that he had to hold the Crouching Demon back, both he and his two beasts wouldn't have been in that predicament at all. And he wouldn't have released evil power sealed in fourth grade, which almost put him directly at the doorstep of death.

But this loss might have some hidden benefits to it. This chance gave him the opportunity to learn that Ken had inherited the guardian beast's powers and that their spiritual powers could link together to form something even stronger.

"Can you get up? Or walk on your own? We can't stay here. We have to go and save Moon Fox," Alyssa asked as she noticed how pale Rocky looked. He looked like a man who had been completely spent and already at the limit of his strength. She remembered that Rocky had somehow managed to hold back the Crouching Demon for as long as he had. His endeavor had given her enough time to defeat Earthrise. It was an astounding feat.

However, if Alyssa ever found out that Rocky could have actually defeated Crouching Demon, things would be quite different. With the combined guardian power from Ken, Rocky wouldn't have just been able to hold Crouching Demon back. He might even have been able to eliminate him altogether. And Alyssa would have quite a different opinion of him then.

And the shock wouldn't have just affected Alyssa. Such a revelation would rock the entire Wild Spirit Land, causing an uproar, when the knowledge that Ken had the power of a guardian beast came out. For a human like Rocky to come into the possession of a guardian beast, particularly the kind that was supposedly exclusive to the spiritual race, was absolutely beyond imagining.

At her question, Rocky only nodded and carefully rose back to his feet, even as his whole body shook from the harrowing experience. He would still need a few moments to recover, as proven by how he stumbled on his feet.
