"How much time do we still have before this world is destroyed?" Isis asked in a melancholic tone.
"I'm not sure, but it's not yet time to give up," Rocky said with confidence as he looked into the distance.
"What are you saying? Is there still a way to turn this around?" Isis quickly wiped her tears off and asked expectantly.
"There should be. That's actually the reason why I came here. I wanted to see you and Nigel first before I go to the alien land. I need to rescue Marcia and the others before it's too late." Rocky told her his bold plan.
"Are you going there alone? Isn't it going to be very difficult even for you?" Isis asked, concerned about his safety.
"Well, yes. But I have no other choice but to do this. I'm the only one who could do this now," Rocky explained.
"Then, what about me and Nigel? You're just going to leave us like this?" Isis's voice started to break and her body slightly shuddered.
"I should have disappeared from this world a long time ago, but I was still given a chance to come back. Now, it's my last chance to make everything right again. I know you're having such a hard time dealing with this, but I have every confidence that you can take good care of Nigel even without me. And I deeply admire you for that," Rocky remarked with utmost sincerity.
"So what? Without you by my side, no matter what kind of nice life I'm living, everything would just be meaningless!" Isis shouted as she burst into tears.
"I'm sorry. Isis, I don't have that much time. If I don't leave right away, I won't be able to enter the alien land. Please understand that I need to do this for everyone. I will definitely make the Wild Spirit Land escape its inevitable doom." Rocky held her face and promised her as he looked straight into her eyes.
"You're a heartless man. But what else could I do? You'll still do whatever you like. Go ahead. We'll all be waiting for your return!" Isis was well aware that Rocky didn't only belong to her. Moreover, what he was trying to accomplish was to give a future to the Wild Spirit Land. It was of utmost importance; thus, she could only support him and let him do what he could.
Rocky just nodded and let out a faint smile. Immediately after, he returned into the golden light and disappeared into the sky.
The main reason why he was such in hurry was that he was worried that the Holy Lord would interfere with his plans once he sensed his thoughts. Therefore, without wasting any time, he flew towards the mysterious area before the Holy Lord could find an opportunity to stop him.
Before long, he sneaked into the mysterious area and landed in front of the gate.
As soon as he appeared, several shadows suddenly rushed out and blocked his way. They seemed to be a bit weaker than the ones who battled against the allied army, but he still couldn't underestimate them. In fact, one of them was more powerful than an advanced spiritual master. "Hey, look! This guy came by himself. I think he has a death wish!" one of them taunted.
"Get out of the way. I'm in a hurry!" Rocky shouted as his fiery gaze swept across them.
"What? Who do you think you are? All of the strongest creatures on your land have already been captured. What can you do by yourself? The Wild Spirit Land is going to be ours soon, so you're the one who needs to get out of the way before you get killed," another alien remarked with a wicked grin on his face.
However, the second the alien finished speaking, Rocky waved his hand, and the alien who had just been goading him spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
At the sight of this, the other aliens were taken by surprise as their eyes widened. It was the very first time that they had seen a mere human being that could hurt their kind with just a single blow.
Without paying attention to the rest of them, Rocky walked steadily and went straight towards the gate.
Seeing Rocky's haughty attitude, these aliens couldn't help but feel infuriated. They felt that they were being belittled by this human and they couldn't just let this slip by. Thus, they immediately launched a joint attack to take him down.
But soon they learned that this person wasn't really an ordinary one. No matter what kind of attack they hurled, they couldn't even touch Rocky's clothes, let alone land a strike on him.
