Meanwhile, although Marcia, Alyssa, and Colton were fighting together, they couldn't harm Jonathan. Over and over, he injured them.
They figured that when Rocky had opened the door to the alien world, it had angered Jonathan. Now, his strength was increasing again. He flung Alyssa and Colton out of the way and headed for Marcia. Grabbing her by the neck with one hand, he squeezed her and lifted her off of the ground. Her feet dangled, as she tried to find something to stand on.
Now that her strength was suppressed, Marcia couldn't fight back and free herself. Her delicate face instantly turned red, as if she were about to suffocate.
When they saw Marcia flailing, Alyssa and Colton felt the urge to save her.
However, they were running out of time. She was too far away!
Just as Marcia started to fade, a figure appeared. A huge sword light slashed through the air and headed for the arm that Jonathan was using to hold Marcia.
When he noticed, Jonathan immediately cast Marcia to the ground and dodged the sword light.
After landing heavily in the dirt, Marcia coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. Her face was colorless and her eyes were barely open, displaying her severe injuries.
"I can handle him on my own. Glutton, escort Alyssa and Marcia through the gate to the alien world right now," Rocky ordered.
"I'll stay with you." Rocky looked over to Alyssa. Of course, she refused to let him fight on his own.
"I'll be right there. You need to go. Trust me!" Rocky told her.
After seeing the serious look on Rocky's face, Alyssa flew to the ground and helped Marcia up. Then Glutton led the two of them towards the door.
"Little brat, go to hell!" Due to Rocky's attack, fury had once again filled Jonathan. He rushed forward like a cannonball, producing a huge pressure. In an instant, he had shrouded Rocky. It felt as though a mountain was pressing down on him.
Without faltering, Rocky waved his sword to resist the attack. The two forces collided with each other and an astonishing light was produced.
However, since most of his power had been used to activate the Star Beast Ring, Rocky had nothing left in him to fight against Jonathan.
Soon, Jonathan's power was too much for him to handle and he was forced to return to the ground.
Understandably, Jonathan didn't give Rocky a chance to fight back. Light waves rushed after Rocky and pummeled him into the earth. The ground around him had collapsed, forming a wide, deep pit.
"Basil..." Both Alyssa and Marcia had tears in their eyes as they watched the scene unfold.
However, because Rocky had stalled for them, Glutton had time to get Alyssa and Marcia to the gate. At the same time, the elites from the Holy Dragon Empire, including Shirley and Sabina, also arrived.
"Hurry up! The power of the door is becoming unstable," Harlan warned.
"But Basil..." Alyssa uttered, looking back at him.
Marcia also looked worried.
"Just go through the gate. I'll help my master!" Glutton shouted, flying towards Jonathan.
"I'll go with you." After handing Marcia over to Sabina and Shirley, Alyssa started running after the beast.
But Shirley swung her whip and instantly wrapped it around Alyssa's delicate body.
"I'm sorry!" Shirley said.
