Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1402 The Desperate Fight Against The Calamity Beast
"It's just to see if you're qualified enough to be my successor,” the Holy Lord said seriously.
"I beg your pardon? Your successor?" stunned, Rocky asked in surprise.
"To tell you the truth, there is someone like me out there who records the history in all the worlds,even including the one you're from. The Holy Lord is just a title given to me in the Star DivineWorld," the Holy Lord explained, completely rendering Rocky speechless.
"Then who on earth are you?" Initially, Rocky thought that the Holy Lord was from the Star DivineRace. But as it turned out, there was more to his unbelievable secret.
"We are called watchers. As for our origins, you'll definitely learn more after you become mysuccessor. Despite having the ability to travel through space and time and being powerful, we can'tinterfere with each of the world's history. We are bound to only record the history of each world,and nothing more. We can live forever in a certain time, but still, this does not make us immortal.Frankly, I should have disappeared long ago when the Star Divine Race was wiped out. But becauseDivine King Belial wanted me to record the history of the Wild Spirit Land, I let myself fall asleepinstead.”
"I first thought that I could make Divine King Belial my successor. I just didn't expect him to decideto destroy himself. That was why I began to closely observe you the minute you showed up. Eventhough you are the reincarnation of Divine King Belial, I believe that your soul still comes fromanother world. No matter how hard I try to replace out why, I just couldn't. Perhaps, it is just heavenlydestined that even watchers like us can't predict the future. I thought of it a lot of times, and Ibelieve that if you become my successor and the next watcher of this world, you may be able tochange the fate of this world,” the Holy Lord stated slowly.
"So, does that mean that I can change the fate of the entire Wild Spirit Land as long as I am yoursuccessor?" Rocky clarified
"You got that right. The watchers might not be able to intervene in the process of the world, but wehave the responsibility to maintain the world's balance. If you become a watcher, the responsibilityof maintaining balance and making sure it doesn't change rests in your hands. In my opinion, theWild Spirit Land is bound to be destroyed. It is just a matter of time. However, it is being destroyedtoo soon,” the Holy Lord added.
"So, how do I pass your test?” Rocky asked as soon as he heard his explanation. In fact, he didn'tneed to think about anything else at that time. He believed that sacrificing himself once again wasnothing as long as it would mean that he could save the world. Moreover, he thought that thissacrifice was tenfold better than dragging a seemingly lifeless body to live a miserable life.
"Okay, then. Come with me. You don't have to worry. This would be very easy for you. After all, youare already qualified to be a successor. Plus, I admire that you are very selfless! That trait is very hardto come by nowadays!" While he said those words, a strong golden light immediately lifted from hisbody, instantly enveloping both him and Rocky. In the blink of an eye, they vanished from wherethey stood.
Meanwhile, humans and the members of the spiritual race worked together fervently to fightagainst the calamity beasts. However, their combined power was still deemed to be minuscule andinsignificant under the overwhelming power of the calamity beasts.
A month later, the Demonic Thunder Tiger, which had been subdued by Rocky, emerged in the HolyDragon Empire's territory. Ferociously, it marched its way condescendingly, destroying everything inits path.
As a result, the Holy Dragon Empire gathered all of its soldiers and spirit manipulators at once. Theyall tried their best to banish the beast from their land, but no matter what they did, the DemonicThunder Tiger only smashed them with a terrifyingly powerful counterattack.
At that time, a myriad of corpses lay on the ground, with everything burned into crisps on thebattlefield at the Gehenna Border. Everything was rendered lifeless or destroyed in ruins as the skystruck lightning and thunder every so often.
Not long after, a gigantic beast stood upright on its four legs on the horizon, flashing lightning allover its entire body. It took one step after another, making everything within a hundred metersaround it turn into a void.
"P...Preceptor Marcia, I'm afraid we can't stop it." Panting from running, a young man sped his wayinto the camp and reported.
At that time, many people gathered in the camp, including Marcia, Bryant, Sabina, Lucilla, Shirley,and other familiar faces. The young man who came in was also related to them as he was Sabina'syounger brother, Flint.
On the other hand, Marcia was given the title of imperial preceptor to assist the state affairs afterNigel ascended the throne.
"Deputy Commander Flint, how many soldiers and spirit manipulators are left at the front line?"Marcia asked directly.
"Only thirty thousand soldiers and less than a hundred spirit manipulators left respectively,” Flintreplied at once.
"That means that we have lost more than a hundred thousand soldiers and hundreds of spiritmanipulators in such a short time. If it goes on at this rate, we can't drive the beast out of ourempire even if we put every single ounce of force we have," Bryant sighed dejectedly.
"At the worst, we'll risk our lives in resistance,” Shirley yelled. At that moment, she could not hidethe annoyance that filled her eyes any longer.
"In any case, we must not let the calamity beast move further into our empire. Otherwise, the HolyDragon Empire will become a living hell that we all will be killed," Marcia said with firm resolution."If only Basil were here. I bet everything would be fine if he were here. I know he'd replace a way out ofthis mess." Lucilla couldn't help but exclaim in misery.
Hearing her words, all the people in the area looked down in sadness for sharing her sentiments."Fellows, we relied too much on Basil in the past. If we didn't, then he wouldn't have shouldered allthe responsibilities and heavy burdens single-handedly. I know we all miss his strength and wisdom,but this time around, let's destroy this beast on our own. This is what Basil would have wanted,"Marcia said with great determination.
With heavy hearts, everyone looked at each other and nodded
Soon after, Marcia, Bryant, and the great masters led the rest of the troops to prepare to fightagainst the calamity beast.
With weapons and shields, they stood their ground as they awaited one of the most extremelytragic battles of their lives.
At the end of the day, almost all the soldiers were shot dead, leaving only Marcia, Bryant, and otherspirit manipulators fighting against the calamity beast as hard as they could.
Although Sabina and the other girls were also severely injured, this did not stop them from fightingwith all their might.
Unfortunately for them, despite giving their all, the calamity beast was still moving towards the HolyDragon Empire unscathed.
Just as they thought that they were going to lose it, a group of spiritual shadows suddenly flew overin the sky, launching an overwhelmingly significant attack on the calamity beast.
Not long after, a commanding figure suddenly landed beside Marcia.
"Oh my god, Moira!" Marcia said as she blinked her beautiful eyes in astonishment.
"There you are. Hey, I finally made it," said Moira.
Meanwhile, as thousands of members from the Dragon Master Clan put in their efforts to block thebeast's way, it had finally stopped in its tracks and began to counterattack frantically.
Three days and nights worth of fighting had passed, and the Dragon Master Clan had lost morethan half of its fighting force. But somehow, the calamity beast appeared to have an infinite sourceof power that it still kept destroying everything within its reach.
"Marcia, we can't go on like this,” Moira said as she looked deep into Marcia's eyes.
"It looks like we have to replace another way to lure this massive creature away. We can't stand anothermassive loss." Marcia seemed to have already decided.
"Marcia, no! I won't let you risk your life!" Moira had seen through Marcia's mind. Her face trembledin fear, immediately shaking her head in disapproval. "No, you can't take any risk."
"There is no other way, Moira. I have to!" Marcia sighed.
