CHAPTER 473 FAINTED
At this moment, Rocky had already reached the third grade of the Heavenly Stage. The furious evil
spiritual power was rushing through his body. He kept on staring at the Four-wing Lame Dragon at the
fourth grade of four-star which was flying up slowly. Rocky was worried about the dragon launching an
attack while he was in bad state. So, every move of the Four-wing Lame Dragon mattered and could
even result in making him die in the battle.
However, to his surprise, the Four-wing Lame Dragon did not linger there. It turned around and flew
away after staring at Rocky for a while.
Seeing this, though Rocky was confused, he sensed it was his best chance. Now, he was getting time
to deal with his own problem. But he did not realize that the evil spiritual power had already spread out
of his body and had become stronger and denser than ever before. It seemed, even the Four-wing
Lame Dragon was afraid of this evil spiritual power. Otherwise it would never have flown away without
hesitation.
In fact, with Rocky's current strength, it seemed impossible for him to crack the second layer of seal.
Neither his body nor his meridians was in a position to withstand the evil spiritual power suppressed by
the second layer of seal.
But now, in order to yield stronger power, Rocky was willing to take risks and break through the second
layer of seal, and thereby forcibly increasing his strength and breaking through to the third grade of the
Heavenly Stage. But, the critical problem here was addressing the evil spiritual power in his already
overburdened body.
Rocky was already in serious pain and hurt due to his breaking through into the third grade. He was not
at all in a position to upgrade to the higher grade. In the case of inability to move into the higher grade, This material belongs to .
his body would not be in a position to accommodate the excessive evil spiritual power.
Rocky's body was like a water tank filled to its maximum capacity. Any extra water dropping into it
would result in continuous outflow. However, once the second layer of seal was released, it would also
release a portion of the Holy Dragon Bead's power. As a result, his body would not be able to withstand
the energy that had been sealed.
But here, his body was more like a water tank placed under a giant waterfall. Even if he were to
temporarily release all the evil power out from his body, it would soon get filled back to the brink, as the
tank was too small.
In other words, the situation here was the same as before. He had the strength that could surpass the
third-grade Heavenly Stage manipulators, but he was not in a position to achieve the higher grade.
Moreover, the overflowing evil spiritual power made the situation even worse than before.
Considering the capacity of his body, in order to endure the evil spiritual power, Rocky decided to find a
way for releasing the excessive evil power. By doing it, he could release the burden out of his body.
Suddenly, Rocky witnessed some dark shadows rushing over him. Those shadows blotted out the sky
and sun above the withered wood forest. After a closer look, he saw about a dozen Four-wing Lame
Dragons flying towards him. Their wings were big and powerful. While flapping, they rolled up the wind
blades, which then rolled up and crushed the leaves and branches around them.
"It seems the Four-wing Lame Dragon had gone back to call for reinforcements," said Rocky. He
frowned tightly as now he was facing the worst situation of facing multiple strong enemies when he was
in a poor physical condition. The look on Rocky's face had become serious all at once. If he got
surrounded by a dozen of Four-wing Lame Dragons, he would be left totally powerless to save himself
from the desperate situation. In this situation, death would be knocking on his door with certainty.
Rocky knew that in order to survive he must remain calm and find an alternative solution. He looked
around to find a place for hiding in. But no such place matched his requirements. He knew that the only
possible way out of the dead wood forest was through the cliff behind him. However, since he was not
the kind of spirit-manipulated beast that could climb rock, it was almost impossible for him to get down
from the cliff safe and sound.
But even if he could climb the rock to the bottom of the cliff, it was impossible for him to get down the
cliff before the arrival of the Four-wing Lame Dragons. It seemed that in the end, there was no way out
of his imminent death.
"If only I had a pair of wings," Rocky whispered to himself. Rocky could not hold back his habit of
seeking joy amidst sorrow. At this moment, those Four-wing Lame Dragons were staring at him with
greedy eyes and were approaching him from all directions. He had no doubt that he would just be torn
into pieces once they caught him. His heart beat faster and faster and seemed it would jump out of his
chest.
'Am I destined to die here?' Rocky had this question in the back of his mind. He could not believe that
his fate was to die in such a place. He had prepared himself to fight in the battle and die gloriously in
the battlefield, but not here in the hands of those beasts. With a sigh, Rocky looked at the cliff behind
him and suddenly his eyes were filled with firmness and braveness at the next moment.
'It seems that I have to roll the dice and let Heaven decide my fate!' After thinking for a moment, Rocky
decided it would be better for him to try his luck rather than waiting there. He pulled out the Frozen
Wind Dagger at once and looked at the ferocious Four-wing Lame Dragons in the sky. Then, taking a
deep breath, he jumped down the cliff, and stabbed the Frozen Wind Dagger into the cliff to slow down
his descending.
Initially, owing to the Frozen Wind Dagger's sharpness, he was able to stab it deep into the cliff and this
helped a lot in slowing Rocky's speed. It cracked the rock and caused sparkles flying off in all
directions. However, due to the strong momentum, the Frozen Wind Dagger soon got scratched out of
the cliff.
After losing the aid of the dagger, Rocky had nothing else to depend on and he fell down rapidly.
At the same time, those Four-wing Lame Dragons were flying above the cliff which was over ten
thousand meters in height. They began to encircle the cliff in order to find a way to launch an attack
against Rocky. But Rocky was rapidly falling down, leaving them no chance to do it. Finally, they just
screamed aloud and turned back reluctantly.
On the other hand, Rocky was feeling a strong sense of weightlessness. He was feeling dizzy while
falling down. All he could do was to hold his dagger tightly. It was his best companion. He had so much
trust upon it that he never wanted to lose it, not even in the extreme case of his death.
'It seems I'm not so lucky this time, ' thought Rocky. Rocky stretched his whole body, and his eyes
constantly reflected the view of the regress. He was getting further and further away from the sky, and,
was closer and closer to death.
At that moment, some beautiful faces were coming to his memory. First, it was Lena, then followed by
Marcia, Marin, Isis, Sabina, Mia, and Laney...
He suddenly came to this world. It turned out that he was fortunate in love affairs after he possessed
the body of the good-for-nothing prince. He had met so many beautiful women with varying
characteristics and beauty. It seemed that he didn't have many regrets in his short but vivid life.
However, all people had some grudges more or less, so did Rocky. He still had not been completely
relieved from his guilt for Lena and his hatred for Alston. But it didn't matter how grudging he was, God
was not giving him a second chance. He was going to die anyway.
Unless or otherwise there was a miracle!
Suddenly, a bright light gleamed upon Rocky and he saw a delicate butterfly appearing in front of him.
The wings of the butterfly were glittering in the sunlight. A delicate fragrance came towards him.
However, as soon as the butterfly shadow was getting closer to him, Rocky reverted back to his
senses, but then got fainted in an instant.
