Rocky was not powerful enough to be Erica's opponent. Apparently, Mia had also lost to her before, so it was better to end the fight now. Otherwise, he would not be as lucky as before and might end up badly wounded, or worse, he might end up dead.
"Preceptor Felicia, what do you think?" Although the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire had already made up his mind, he still politely asked Felicia for her opinion.
"Since we have a clear victor, there is no need to continue the fight. I am afraid that my disciple may have been a bit too impetuous. Please forgive her," Felicia responded. Erica acted very rashly and impulsively, but she had defeated a spirit manipulator from the Holy Dragon Empire who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. Felicia did not feel an ounce of remorse for that fact. Needless to say, she wanted the fight to stop while they were still quite ahead. She was worried that the fight might lead to a worse end if it was not stopped now.
"Priest Dean..." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire turned to the priest beside him after getting Felicia's approval.
"I'm afraid it's too late now," Priest Dean said suddenly as he glumly stared at the fighting site. The situation had changed quite drastically while they were talking.
Hearing what the priest said, both Felicia and the emperor immediately turned their attention back on the fighting site and saw Erica coming up at Rocky. She appeared as if she was about to give him a deadly blow, swiftly closing the distance between them.
Everyone watching the scene was at the edge of their seats. Rocky would not be able to dodge the attack in time.
And it looked like he did not plan on dodging the attack.
"What the hell is he thinking? Does he want to die here?" Marcia in the crowd was confused by Rocky's behavior. She frowned as she rushed towards the fighting site.
"Get away, Basil!" Mia tried her best to stand up. She wanted to push Rocky away and block Erica's attack for him as a payment for saving her regardless of his own life.
Suddenly, two figures started rushing towards Rocky.
Erica gathered a strong Thunder spiritual power in her palm. As the Thunder spiritual power increased, its blue flames continued to flare up. The next second, Erica raised the gathered power that was strong enough to kill Rocky and launched it towards him.
Rocky then did something unexpected that shocked everyone. He rushed towards the much more powerful Erica and faced her attack head on. A glaring light burst out from the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's left arm. He raised his left arm and used it to block the palm.
Erica did not expect that Rocky would dare to rush towards her and block her attack. But she immediately smiled coldly as she realized that this made it easier for her to kill him. She then directly hit the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's left arm without any hesitation.
"Am I too late?" Marcia muttered as she arrived behind Rocky just when Erica had smacked Rocky. Although she was powerful, she had no time to block the Erica's attack.
"General Marcia..." Mia was surprised to see Marcia appear on the fighting site. She wondered why Marcia would suddenly show up, but decided that she had no time to think over it at the moment. She anxiously glanced at Rocky.
Erica was certain that even if Rocky was so powerful that he could not be killed, he could still definitely be badly damaged. However, to her surprise, the moment her palm hit Rocky's Dragon Spirit Mark, light shrouded her entire hand. The spiritual power that she gathered in her palm began to vanish like a muddy ox entering the sea.
It was as if the power was being absorbed from her by something, to be more precise.
