Just as Uriel finished his words, however, the giant centipede-like beast suddenly turned and rushed towards Tessa and her two companions.
"Damn it!" he cursed. Obviously, he hadn't expected that the beast would know how to choose a weak target to attack. With the strength that Tessa and her companions had, it would be a miracle if they could withstand even a single blow from the beast. Therefore, Uriel immediately wanted to rush to their rescue.
Unfortunately, wherever the beast moved, dust rose in an instant, forming a barrier of sand around it and blocking Uriel's rescue.
In less than a moment, the giant centipede had approached Tessa and her companions. The three of them were trembling in fear and their faces had gone pale. As a spiritual beast of the King Realm, this giant centipede was too strong for them to defeat!
"Run!" Miguel yelled in a shaky voice, then quickly retreated.
"Miss Tessa!" Ramon called immediately.
"It's too late to run," Tessa replied calmly. She frowned as she surveyed the situation. The giant centipede was already too close to them. No matter how fast they ran, it would be impossible for them to escape its grasp.
"You can't just stay here and wait for death! Come with me, Tessa," Miguel urged, rushing to her.
But just before he reached her, another figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her.
"I knew you would come." Tessa smiled with relief.
Just as she had expected, Rocky had materialized in front of her.
When he saw Rocky's sudden appearance, Miguel's face turned sour. This had been a great opportunity for him to save Tessa and be the hero, but much to his annoyance, Rocky had taken it ahead of him.
"Step back!" Rocky said seriously. In that moment, he looked strong and intimidating.
Tessa and Ramon were stunned. They were used to seeing Rocky always act frivolous and carefree, so it was hard to get used to this serious side of him.
"Basil, what do you want to do? Don't be impulsive!" Tessa said anxiously.
"I'm going to kill it," Rocky replied coldly.
"You? Stop kidding around and look closely. That's a spiritual beast at the King Realm!" Miguel sneered, stepping back.
"Basil, don't mess around. Even though you are at the King Realm now, this spiritual beast is definitely stronger than you," Ramon chimed in.
However, Rocky ignored them and charged at the giant centipede as the speed of lightning.
On the other side, Uriel, who had just broken through the sand barrier, was also surprised to see that Rocky was recklessly fighting the giant centipede head-on.
The other warriors at the King Realm also thought that Rocky was crazy, but it was too late for them to stop him even if they wanted to.
In the blink of an eye, Rocky was only a few meters away from the beast.
Almost at the same time, the beast opened its enormous bloody mouth and released terrifying spiritual power that enveloped Rocky in an instant, leaving him no chance to escape.
"Spirit Possession!"
With a shout, Rocky summoned Glutton and entered the state of possession. His speed was so fast that no one even realized what was happening. Instantly, his strength increased.
