Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 561 No Leader

Rocky's face darkened at the realization that his power was no match for this.

"Run!" Sabina shouted at Rocky. She predicted that the outcome wouldn't be in their favor. Their top priority now was to stay alive.

Out of nowhere, a green light burst out of the skull's mouth. An intimidating spiritual power appeared before them. It looked as though it was about to swallow both of them whole.

Realizing that there was no time to dodge the attack, Sabina unexpectedly stood in front of Rocky alongside Duchess Silver with arms wide open. Gathering her spiritual power, she quickly formed a large and thick wall of ice in front of her.

However, the seemingly sturdy fortress of ice was easily devoured by the green light and continued to spread rapidly towards Sabina and Duchess Silver.

"Go!" Sabina quickly turned around and urged Rocky to hurry up. The summoning of the ice wall utilized all of her spiritual power, and her delicate face was bloodless. Knowing that she had reached her limit, she knew she couldn't defeat this power on her own.

Rocky wouldn't back down so easily, nor would he run away alone. Suddenly, a black glow burned all over his body like a blazing flame.

Known as the Evil Flame, this was produced by the fusion of evil spiritual power and the spiritual power of Fire nature. Once Sabina’s ice wall disintegrated, the Evil Flame gushed forward like a black torrent and crashed with the approaching skull and its green light.

Instantly, the entire sky was filled with blinding, dazzling light.

Unfortunately, that didn't hold on too long either. The green light devoured the Evil Flame with ease. It had now extended itself to cover more than a dozen meters around them.

"Hell awaits you!" The Dark Lord cackled with a sinister smile as he noticed Rocky growing weaker and on the verge of death.

It looked as though all hope of surviving the green light was lost for Rocky, Sabina, and their spirit- manipulated beasts.

As they hanged on to the thread, a current of cherry blossoms flew in like a storm from the forest beneath Rocky. The current spun into a tornado and engulfed Rocky, Sabina, and their spirit- manipulated beasts in the blink of an eye.

The green light then enveloped them all along with the cherry blossoms as well.

What followed was that all that had been devoured by the green light withered and died. The sight was appalling and ghastly, to say the least.

The current of cherry blossoms burst out of the green light and into the air along with four familiar looking shadows.

The Dark Lord was angered by this. He jumped up and cursed, "You taunting bitch! You've ruined my plan yet again!"

As he finished his rant, the cherry blossoms disappeared into the sky along with the four shadows and left him to toil in his rage.

"You won't get away with this, brat. Ill find you no matter where you are sooner or later.” The Dark Lord proved to be very determined. On his order, the green light surged into a fainter ray of light that followed the current of cherry blossoms into the air.

Deep in the woods where the cherry blossoms first appeared, a butterfly shadow had been observing them from a distance. As soon as the Dark Lord chased the four shadows, it vanished without a trace.

Rocky and Sabina stared in awe at the sight before them—a current of cherry blossoms that not only surrounded and protected them but allowed them to fly at an incredible speed as well.

As they both looked at each other, they knew exactly who saved them.

"It seems as though the member of the spiritual race saved us again.” A normally aloof Sabina confirmed with a look of sympathy and gratitude.

Rocky nodded silently. This wasn't the first time Cherry saved him. In fact, he noticed that she was always there to save him just in time. Strange how she seemed to know exactly where to be as if she was everywhere at once. He still couldn't wrap his head around why Cherry saved him so many times. She was the one who informed Rocky that the power of his Holy Dragon Bead was enough to allow him to own the Sea Blue Magic Jade. Also, she was the one who helped suppress the evil spiritual power within him when it was out of control.

Rocky had a strange feeling that she had arranged for all of this to happen. He felt that Cherry really wanted him to retrieve the Sea Blue Magic Jade. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been there to save him from the Dark Lord once more.

"What does she want?" Rocky knew that nothing in this world came without a price. A spiritual race master of Cherry's caliber had no valid reason to save a nobody like him constantly.

But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't come up with any explanation.

"What's wrong?" Sabina asked him as she noticed that Rocky's brows were furrowed and he was lost deep in thought.

"Nothing. It's fine." Rocky shook his head, coming back to his senses. Coming up with valid explanations for Cherry's rescues would have to wait. Right now, they needed to focus on returning to Evian City.

The cherry blossoms that protected them slowly but surely began to gradually scatter and disappear.

At full speed, Rocky and Sabina flew on Uriah and Duchess Silver at full speed towards Evian City. It would take them at least a day and a night to get there from the Myriad Beasts Ground. On top of that, the Timber Deity Empire's thirty thousand troops had already broken through three passes two days ago and were heading in the same direction as well.

It was too late for them to get to Evian City before the Timber Deity Empire attacked.

Within Evian City, the Crimson Dragon Group headquarters was in chaos. All of them were full of panic seeing Lance absent and the Timber Deity Empire troops drawing closer.

At the moment, ten commanders were sitting on either side of the headquarters’ meeting room. Among those ten commanders were those who Lance covered and saved, and the Elite Commanders and Frontline Commanders, who had been guarding the headquarters, and Marin who didn't find Rocky in the logistics camp and returned to Evian City first.

Upon Marin's arrival at the city, she learned that Lance and a few other commanders had been blocked by the Timber Deity Empire troops led by Alyssa as they were leaving the Deity Unicorn Valley. Lance held off Alyssa and her troops on his own so that the other commanders would be covered.

It was worrying that no news had been sent from the Deity Unicorn Valley regarding Lance. They couldn't confirm if he would be able to return to Evian City before the Timber Deity Empire's thirty thousand soldiers attacked the city.

No wonder all the commanders present appeared worried and anxious.
