"I have never seen you before. I have a keen sense of smell that allows me to recognize people. When you saved me, my coma was not deep, so I had a chance to sniff you. I remember your smell. In regards to your looks, I have no idea..." Vivian replied coldly.
Immediately, Rocky felt relief spread through him. His human appearance was not the cause of any suspicion. Esteban's skill that had allowed people to disguise themselves through human skin masks was unique, and everyone in the leader's mansion knew it. Therefore, Rocky trying the mask and disguising himself as a human being was not really surprising since he was learning from Esteban.
"So you're the one who saved my sister. I didn't know. You two were destined to meet. Why didn't Master Esteban ever mention it to me?" Gilbert asked, feeling a little confused and left out. No one had bothered to tell him any of it.
"Master Esteban didn't know about it. The only reason it happened was because I saw that Miss Vivian was in danger and my master was away. I had to save her. After, I was afraid that my master would say that I overestimated myself, so I didn't tell him..." Rocky explained.
"I will remember your kindness and I will reward you when you come back," Gilbert said gratefully.
"Thank you! Miss Vivian, let's go!" Rocky turned to look at Vivian.
She didn't say a single word back. She just nodded, turned around, and gave the team of guards the order to move. Then, she jumped onto her beast and soared into the air.
Rocky and Valeria gathered their own subordinates and respectively climbed onto a giant bird. After that, the guards clambered on. Soon, they were all flying over the leader's mansion and the wind was sweeping through their hair as they headed for the Nether Fire Land.
Meanwhile, with the help of Rocky, Gloria and Purple had successfully escaped from the Ghost Fief. However, they did not return to the Genie Fief. Instead, Gloria took Purple onto her Snow Wind Beast and directed them towards the Nether Fire Land.
"Why don't we go back to the Genie Fief first? Then, once we're prepared, we can go to the Nether Fire Land." Purple thought that Gloria would return to the Genie Fief, but to her surprise, Gloria suddenly made up her mind to travel to the Nether Fire Land.
"At first, I wanted to go back, but the Godly Geniuses from the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief are going to the Nether Fire Land and I think it's in my interest to join them. I don't care about the task. I just want a chance to assess the strength of each Godly Genius." Gloria's delicate eyes flashed with cleverness.
"But the Nether Fire Land is so dangerous. How can we successfully enter it with our current strength?" Purple frowned.
"Have you already forgotten? We have the human skin masks that the Godly Genius from the Ghost Fief gave us. When we arrive at the Nether Fire Land, we'll wear them to disguise ourselves and then we'll join one of their teams." Gloria was bright. She had already figured out a way to sneak into the Nether Fire Land undetected.
"But it's still very dangerous! Why don't we go back to the Genie Fief and find people that can help us?" Purple wasn't convinced. The risk was too high and someone had to act responsibly.
"Fine. You can go back and gather guards for me. I'll meet you there," Gloria replied immediately.
A sigh pushed through Purple's lips. She knew that she was unable to persuade Gloria anymore. If she continued to try, she would be thrown off of the Snow Wind Beast.
Under the escort of the guards, Rocky and Valeria were well on their way to the Nether Fire Land. Three other Godly Genius teams had left earlier and already arrived at the Nether Fire Land. Now, they were walking deeper into the land. The Nether Dragon King's lair was located in the center of the Nether Fire Land, which was also the most dangerous area. Therefore, the three teams were very cautious.
On the southeast side of the Nether Fire Land, among the green flames, a camp had just been set up.
