Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1856 Whom Should I Protect

"Silly girl! Don't say that. Of course, I will protect you. Otherwise, whom should I protect?" Rocky said with a shake of his head and a smile across his lips. Of course, he knew what was on her mind. Valeria must know that, if he was alone, he could easily break out of the encirclement of the bat- shaped ghostly demons.

His answer stunned Valeria, who didn't expect Rocky to utter something so sweet that it further deepened her love for him. She blushed and lowered her face for a few moments

"Then what should we do now?" Valeria asked as she raised her head, her dazzling eyes narrowed. "It appears I'll have to ask Rubygon to take you to the Demon Sealing Palace while I stay behind to cover you.” Rocky began to think about it at once. They weren't too far away from the Demon Sealing Palace. Considering Rubygon's tremendous speed and strength, there was a good chance it could break through the siege of these ghostly demons if it rushed at them with all its might. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about Valeria. Without her by his side and somewhere safe, he could focus on dealing with the ghostly demons.

"No, I won't leave you behind. It's too risky for you to face them alone!" Valeria stubbornly protested, a frown on her face. She didn't want him to face danger by himself.

"Don’t worry about me. I'll meet you soon!" Rocky said calmly. He then swiftly called out for Rubygon and instructed Valeria to mount it on its back.

"Protect her at all costs. Wait for me in front of the Demon Sealing Palace!" he ordered the beast. Rubygon let out a roar, low but fierce, as it released a violent spiritual power from deep within. It formed its Spiritual Domain to protect Valeria from harm. Then, like a flash of lightning, it rushed out of the encirclement of the bat-shaped ghostly demons and towards the Demon Sealing Palace. Naturally, like predators bent on slaughtering their prey, the bat-shaped ghostly demons wouldn't let Rubygon go so easily and immediately chased them.

"That's good. Now, let's get familiar with the terrain surrounding the Demon Sealing Palace just in case we need it!" Rocky instructed thoughtfully. His next mission was to prevent the others from entering the Demon Sealing Palace, especially Enoch. Knowing that he was in collusion with the demonic race in the Holy-Evil World, he needed to be fully prepared.

Valeria nodded immediately.

The two of them together with the beast looked around the Demon Sealing Palace. Because they weren't sure about the enchanted barrier's defensive position, they didn't dare to get too close to the palace just yet.

After more than half a lap around the palace, Rocky was certain that no one else had arrived before them. This was definitely good news since it meant he had enough time to prepare.

"Prince Zain's and Prince Enoch's teams won't arrive here any time soon. You and Rubygon will hide somewhere to rest and recover. I'll make a few preparations,” Rocky informed her after thinking for a while.

"Okay." Valeria didn't refuse. She was exhausted and needed a rest. After that, she found a quiet and safe spot with the beast where they could recuperate.

Rocky then withdrew some sacred weapons and carefully arranged them around the Demon Sealing Palace, forming a defensive ring enough to resist Zain's and Enoch's teams.

After preparing for the upcoming battle, Rocky returned to where Valeria and Rubygon were resting. He took a seat beside them and began to recover the spiritual power that had been consumed.

"Is it possible they won't be able to find this place and retreat in the end?" Valeria asked on a whim. "Really? How cute, Valeria. Do you think it's possible? Right now, the competition will determine who will be the successor to the Shura Race's king. Prince Zain and Prince Enoch won't stop until they get what they want!" Rocky chuckled. He was amused by what she had just said.

"I just hope they don't find the Demon Sealing Palace so we don't have to fight them!" Valeria voiced out. She knew it wouldn't be easy for Rocky to fight against Zain's and Enoch's teams on his own. She didn't want anything dangerous to happen to him.

"I hope so, but what is likely to come will come eventually,” Rocky said with a shrug. He never allowed himself to be too optimistic, and he always prepared for the worst.

While the two talked, Rocky suddenly felt that someone was spying on them from the corner of his eye. He looked sideways but then, after looking in that direction, didn't see any suspicious figure. However, once he turned around, he sensed the same feeling creep up on him again.

"How strange!" Rocky couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. He stood up and told Valeria, "I'm going over there to have a better look. If anything happens, let Rubygon call me." "Got it! Be careful." Valeria nodded.

Rocky then walked towards the direction where he suspected someone suspicious was watching him.
