After a whole day's journey, Rocky finally saw the Wal City in the distance. The city looked very tranquil under the lights.
Rocky landed on a corner of the city wall right outside the Wal City with Ken. Then, he gently tucked Ken away and flew up along the city wall. Stealthily taking a peek, he saw that the city wall was heavily guarded.
"General Marcia was right," he murmured under his breath. "The walls are indeed heavily guarded." Scanning the city walls for a bit, he wracked his brains trying to come up with a solution. Then, he suddenly jumped onto the top of the city wall, suddenly revealing himself to the guards.
The guards were initially shocked at the sudden appearance of this mysterious figure, but they quickly recovered and gathered around him immediately.
Just then, Rocky pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger and turned it into a ferocious blade of flames that blazed under the dim moonlight. The blade shone with black luster, emanating the ominous aura of death.
Then, several screams suddenly pierced the initially quiet night.
It wasn't long before the sound of gongs and drums was heard all over the Wal City.
Countless figures rushed out of some buildings of the Wal City, and headed straight for the city walls.
The guards that had initially cornered Rocky were just now killed and turned into cold corpses. Soon, a large group of guards swarmed the city walls like an army of ants coming from both sides.
Rocky watched them approach with a calm smile.
The next moment, he gathered his spiritual power and summoned two beasts from the Magic Spiritual Space. Before they could even reach Rocky, the guards saw two huge beastly shadows looming before them.
"You play with them for a while. I'll be back soon," Rocky said to the two beasts before melting into the darkness.
About an hour later, Rocky spied a team of spirit manipulators at the Earthly Stage patrolling inside and outside an inconspicuous building located in the west of the Wal City.
Skulking from the shadows, Rocky silently pondered over this scene.
'This is the only building in the whole Wal City that is very quiet. Moreover, why is such an ordinary building guarded by spirit manipulators at the Earthly Stage?' His eyes flashed as he pieced together the information. 'Flint is very likely to be in this building, ' he concluded confidently.
Quietly, Rocky scaled the wall till he found an opening. As soon as he landed inside, a dozen black figures suddenly flew over toward him.
Rocky narrowed his eyes, immediately taking a step forward to avoid the black figures flying over. At the same time, three more figures suddenly flew out from the darkness of the building and rushed over to Rocky from three directions. He could keenly sense their aura of primary grade of the Heavenly Stage.
"Fuck off!" Rocky shouted. In an instant, a strong spiritual power burst forth from his body, causing a violent air wave to ripple out in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the three figures who were just closing in on Rocky were blasted away before they even had a chance to touch him. Their bodies twisted and turned through the air as they were blown away.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three figures crashed into the surrounding walls, one after the other.
