"You idiots! I'll destroy you all! By the time I'm done, none of you will be alive!" Wraith King Sebastian screamed like a madman as he witnessed the sea of people rushing towards Rocky to help him.
Soon after, the king morphed into a ghost-like shadow. Whatever was in his way was killed instantly. It was a merciless slaughter.
But even then, no one took a step back. They all stood their ground to block the king.
The trio—Rocky, Marcia, and Alyssa—sighed with gratitude when they witnessed the scene.
Not long after, the deaths and injuries rose. It appeared the mad king's deadly, god-like descent upon them was unstoppable.
The Divine Spiritual Source that enveloped the trio suddenly surged. It looked as though it was near its limit and could soon be used by the three to their advantage.
"Everybody, run!" Rocky shouted.
"Let's go!" Bart commanded and quickly rushed away with Bryant, the latter seriously injured.
The spiritual race beings grabbed Isis and the other humans as fast as they could before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Only the trio was left. The violent king immediately launched his first attack which was strong, dark and began to rush towards the three at an inhumane speed. Meanwhile, the Divine Spiritual Source's power was moments away from reaching its peak.
But it appeared the source wouldn't make it in time as the Wraith King Sebastian's powerful attack inched closer with each second. Without warning, a fire shadow appeared in front of the trio. Although it looked hurt, it did its best to defend them without hesitation.
It was Uriah!
Almost the same instant, the king's attack struck its body.
"Uriah! No!" Rocky was furious upon seeing the Dark King Mace's power pierce through Uriah.
Uriah let out a deafening howl. The flame that once surged around its body gradually dimmed, like a candle's flame about to go out. In the end, its body succumbed to the attack and dissipated into ashes.
Because Rocky failed to repair Uriah's defective gene in time, its life expectancy was cut short. The beast struggled during its previous battle. Despite this, it wanted to fight side by side with Rocky.
Although he knew that Uriah would be gone sooner or later, Rocky had managed to form a deep connection with the beast. Seeing it die and disappear into thin air in front of him felt like a hot, sharp knife had been rammed through his chest and pierced his heart.
Robin. Ken. Uriah. They were all gone now. The great loss of life left Rocky at a loss for words. He found it hard to endure the shattering blow.
"Wraith King Sebastian!" Rocky called out, eyes furious with rage. As he rushed towards the king alone, the Divine Spiritual Source had just reached its maximum power.
Meanwhile, Marcia and Alyssa landed on the ground. They appeared to be exhausted and losing strength.
