At that very moment,
a violent flash of seemingly ice-cold light flickered in the sky. In a split second, this lightning hit the Demonic Plague Beast on the ground below it. Instantly, the humongous Demonic Plague Beast began to be covered in ice crystals, solidifying its entire body. Even its huge feet that were about to step on Rocky and Uriah were also frozen in midair.
Rocky and Uriah, on the other hand, were about to fall on the ground when they noticed that their weakness had suddenly vanished into thin air. As a result, Uriah quickly found its balance again and soared into the sky with Rocky mounting on its back.
"Whew, that was close! I never thought that what they say is true! That calamity beast surely is powerful!" Rocky hurled a sigh of relief. Despite the fact that he was saved from the disaster, it could not be denied that fear still lingered in his heart. As they were high up above in the air, he could not help but glance at the Demonic Plague Beast, whose body had been frozen without warning. Rocky had no idea what kind of power could freeze such a mighty and savage calamity beast. He turned to look in the direction of the ice light, but to his dismay, he found nothing.
"Who on earth saved me?" Rocky mumbled under his breath.
Meanwhile, the Demonic Plague Beast let out a vicious roar. Not long after, successive crackling sounds echoed all throughout the atmosphere as the beast tried to break through the powerful ice force that had frozen it.
Of course, Rocky thought that it would do him no good to stay and watch the beast free itself from the suppressive force of the ice. Instead, he instructed Uriah to zoom and fly out of the city at the fastest speed.
After they left, a delicate figure wrapped in icy light suddenly emerged and gloomily stared at Rocky's receding figure.
"He is not like Belial at all. He put himself in danger just to save those weak humans, even though he was facing a calamity beast. I didn't expect that those calamity beasts would resurrect. By the looks of it, the Wild Spirit Land is going to face another catastrophe. Has it all come down to this? If he really is the reincarnation of Belial, then perhaps everything is destined to happen," the figure said and looked a little hesitant.
Discombobulated, she took a quick glance at the Demonic Plague Beast and finally disappeared. As soon as Rocky flew out of the city,
he immediately met with Marcia, who had been waiting for his arrival.
"Are you okay?" Marcia asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Have they all left?" Rocky asked.
As a reply, Marcia nodded her head slightly.
"It seems that the calamity beast is more dangerous than I expected. Unfortunately, I can't save those innocent people who got infected." After Rocky finished his words, the light that once shone in his eyes seemed to have dimmed. Although he had successfully developed a vaccine to treat the infection, there was still no way for him to save the thousands of lives.
"You've tried your best, and the vaccine that can prevent people from being infected has been successfully developed. We know how much you want to stop this infection from turning everyone into the walking dead," Marcia comforted as she gave Rocky's back a nice good pat.
"We should waste no more time. Let's go," Rocky urged and left with Marcia.
Not long after, they led the army to escort thousands of people who had retreated from the city and directed them back to the Rime Army Group's stronghold.
