CHAPTER 1262 THE LEGENDARY GUARDIAN BEAST
"You can't even save your own life. Why do you still want to take me away?" Harriet couldn't help but grumble. In her opinion, no one could leave, especially since the patriarch was present.
However, Rocky suddenly smiled at Harriet as if he knew something that she didn't. The next moment, he abruptly turned into a shadow and passed through the surrounding Snow Master Clan members. In the blink of an eye, he had approached the patriarch.
The patriarch didn't expect that Rocky would suddenly rush towards him. His expression shifted in alarm, but he immediately took a deep breath as if to calm himself. His spiritual power that was close to the strength of a spiritual master instantly bloomed. All of a sudden, icy wind blew violently around them, and the spiritual waves in the place waxed and waned.
"Ice Dragon Wrath!" As the patriarch waved his hand, a ferocious ice dragon shot out and rushed towards Rocky, who was fast approaching.
But Rocky didn't even blink. He shook his left arm, and a black-purple vortex appeared, directly devouring the dragon.
"What the... What kind of evil skill is this?" When the patriarch saw that Rocky had forcefully devoured his clan's secret skill, his expression darkened in dismay.
His subordinates were even more surprised because, in their opinion, the strength of their patriarch whose power was approaching a spiritual master was already very powerful. In sharp contrast, the human in front of them, who they thought was a weakling, had easily broken through their patriarch's secret skill.
Of course, the patriarch did not think that the human in front of him could do something like that. Thus, he believed that if he used the Snow Master Clan's secret skill again, Rocky would not survive it again.
"Freeze the world!" The patriarch raised his hands. Suddenly, the wind and snow around them roared, and between one breath and the next, all of them gathered towards Rocky, instantly freezing his feet.
Soon, a thick layer of ice had formed all over Rocky's body until he was nothing but a human-shaped ice sculpture.
"Ha-ha! You are a mere human being! You have overestimated yourself. Now you know how powerful I am!" The patriarch laughed arrogantly.
Seeing this, Harriet was shocked, but she could do nothing.
"Take that girl back." Seeing that Rocky had become an ice sculpture, the patriarch turned his attention back to Harriet.
He signaled his men, and several members of the Snow Master Clan immediately surrounded her.
Suddenly, the patriarch and the other members felt the ground tremble under their feet violently. It was like a terrible power had possessed the earth, and it shook like a volcano that was about to erupt.
All of a sudden, the ice on Rocky's frozen body cracked, and black smoke overflowed and permeated their surroundings. In a moment, the intense evil energy rapidly shrouded the air around them, which incited a terrible fear in the people's hearts.
Before long, the ice and snow on Rocky's body broke apart completely, while the evil flame instantly rose on his body like a volcano slowly overflowing with magma.
However, what happened next shocked the patriarch and his subordinates even more. Just after Rocky's aura rushed to the peak of the Divine Stage, they saw a sudden flash of light on his body, and a burst of spiritual power shot out and spread like raging waves. The original aura of the Divine Stage suddenly broke through a higher level.
"That's the Immortal Stage! He is a human spirit manipulator of the Immortal Stage!" someone cried.
Most of the Snow Master Clan's members felt an intense spiritual pressure rushing towards them. Their chests suddenly felt full and stuffy, and their breaths grew shallow and weak. Some of them even spat out blood on the spot, while the rest fell unconscious, crashing to the ground. In the blink of an eye, most of the twenty to thirty members fell, leaving only a few of them, barely standing on the spot.
"How could he become so strong?!" Harriet watched in awe and shock at the display of Rocky's strength. She had never expected that this man had such a hidden strength.
On the other hand, the patriarch's face had grown pale and sullen. He didn't expect that Rocky was a spirit manipulator of the Immortal Stage.
At that time, Rocky's whole body was full of evil energy. He stared coldly at the patriarch, and his eyes were like the call of death. The patriarch could not suppress the shiver that crawled on his spine at that look. Material © of .
Suddenly, Rocky transformed into a ghost-like figure, and in a flash, he appeared before the patriarch. The Frozen Wind Dagger instantly turned into the Flaming Blade, and the dazzling flame light fell into the air.
Bang!
A deafening sound echoed in the place, startling almost everyone who heard it, while the bright flame light on the ground rose several feet high. Within a hundred meters, the ice and snow had melted entirely and evaporated, leaving a gigantic, bottomless pit.
When the Snow Master Clan's members saw this scene, their faces grew ashen and pale as death, and their eyes were quickly filled with fear.
After a long time, the flame light finally dissipated. The patriarch was charred, half-kneeling on the ground, looking mightily embarrassed.
Rocky sauntered towards him, and when the patriarch saw that he was coming, he was terrified, and trembled like a leaf. Immediately, he fell to his knees, and immediately begged for mercy! "Please! I failed to recognize you, master! Please spare my life!"
"You used to be an advanced spiritual race clan, but now you have fallen into such a shameful situation. How pathetic! Besides, don't underestimate human beings. We are more powerful than you can imagine. Now, get out of here!" Rocky said coldly.
Hearing this, the patriarch immediately turned around and ran away as if hounds were chasing him from hell. His subordinates who could move also followed him and ran away.
After Rocky had taken back his aura, he walked towards the stunned Harriet.
"Well, will you come with me now?" Rocky asked with an eyebrow raised. Harriet, who was staring at him with her mouth slightly open, didn't know how to react.
She nodded mechanically, too shocked to even form words. The momentum of Rocky's attack just now had caught her off guard, and she forgot that she was trying to refuse.
Afterward, Rocky summoned Robin and took Harriet to the end of the Snow Cemetery Plain.
"Why do you insist on taking me away? Even though those are my father's last words before he died, you don't have to take such a huge risk for me. Do you think that I will be grateful to you?" Once she had recovered from her shock, Harriet couldn't help but protest again.
"It's because I know that the Snow Master Clan's legendary guardian beast is your guardian beast," Rocky answered with a smile.
"How—how did you know that?!" Harriet blurted out in surprise. Except for her father and herself, no other person should have known about that.
"The patriarch wants to know where your father hid your clan's legendary guardian beast. And before your father's death, he asked me to take you away from here. He also said that you were the hope of the Snow Master Clan, so it's not difficult for me to guess that the owner of your clan's legendary guardian beast was actually you," explained Rocky calmly. "However, I don't understand why your father didn't hand over the legendary guardian beast to the patriarch since he got it. Instead, he hid it."
"My father used to be a respected elder of my clan. To revive the clan, he began to search for the legendary guardian beast. He spent fifty years looking for it, and he managed to find the reincarnated legendary guardian beast. However, he was seriously injured, and his advanced spiritual being's strength was crippled, all to bring back the legendary guardian beast. Despite all these, the patriarch did not even thank my father. Instead, he forced him to hand over the legendary guardian beast. My father knew that the patriarch was not worth trusting the future of the whole Snow Master Clan, so he didn't hand over the beast to him. As a result, the patriarch abolished my father's position as an elder and relegated him to a pitiful village..." Harriet revealed in a soft voice. Her eyes were distant as if she was reminiscing the memories from long ago.
