"If I kill you, Lena will be set free," Alston told Rocky snidely, snorting condescendingly.
"Oh, really? That's good then. I'm glad to hear that." Rocky smiled and relaxed as if he had heard something soothing.
Of course, when Alston saw that Rocky was smiling happily, he went crazy. "Why are you smiling?! What is wrong with you?!"
"I am happy because I'm sure you won't hurt Lena, and you won't threaten me with her life. Of course, you don't need to do that," answered Rocky. The smirk was still in place on his lips, as if he was amused at Alston.
"Go and get him! Teach this guy a lesson," Alston angrily ordered when he saw that Rocky was still calm.
Soon, more than a thousand palace guards rushed to Rocky like a wave and surrounded him in an instant.
At the same time, in the wholly enclosed Witch Palace, Lena quietly lay on her bed. However, she heard the noise outside, so she immediately stood up and asked Randi whose face was full of guilt, "Is Basil here?"
Randi hesitated once, but in the end, she glanced through the window and nodded slightly. "I think so," she answered.
"I need to go out. I want to see Basil!" Lena's eyes widened in excitement when she found out that Rocky was there. It was hard to stem her desire to see Basil, so she immediately got up and walked out of the Witch Palace as if she were going to rush out by force.
But at this moment, a figure flashed and appeared in front of her.
"Your Royal Highness, His Majesty has said that you are not allowed to step out of the Witch Palace. If you insist, I will have to use force against you." It was Priest Dean.
"Get out of my way!" Lena scolded angrily.
"I understand that you are excited to meet Prince Basil. But if I were you, I wouldn't rush out recklessly, because it would only be a burden for Prince Basil," Priest Dean continued.
Lena knew that he was right. Even though she wanted to rush out at once, she could not do so impulsively, as she could end up distracting Basil from his fight. Since Basil was here to save her, she trusted that he could get her out of there. So, in the end, she decided to reserve her strength and quietly wait for him.
"Whatever you do, I will surely meet Basil again," Lena said firmly, staring at Priest Dean with a challenge in her eyes.
At that moment, Rocky was slowly pulling out the Frozen Wind Dagger, as he gazed at the thousands of palace guards surrounding him. His Frozen Wind Dagger turned into a ferocious Flaming Blade in an instant, and he said to the palace guards, "Get out of my way. I don't want to kill you. You are all just blinded by Alston, and I do not wish to waste your lives here. But if you continue to get in my way, don't blame me for having no mercy!"
As he spoke, he eyed them intensely with a smoldering look, while his face remained cold and emotionless. The guards were somewhat afraid of him, as they saw Rocky as a cold-blooded killer, and they treated him as if he could kill people just by looking at them.
"Attack him! If anyone can kill him, I will reward that person with tens of thousands of gold. And also I will promote that person!" Alston shouted.
It was evident that the thousands of palace guards couldn't resist the temptation of money and power, so they began to rush madly toward Rocky, like a rising tide with astonishing momentum.
In an instant, a dense crowd of people had surrounded Rocky from all sides. Countless long weapons, short blades, and spiritual martial arts came at him at the same time.
