The moment Sabina left, a giant shadow quickly appeared from the sky. The beautiful figure on theback of the shadow landed on the ground. As she looked at the bodies in front of her, the womanfrowned. Then, she noticed another body that lay motionless on the ground not far away from her."It can’t be. Woods!" with a worried expression, Alyssa frantically shouted and then she rushed up toWoods. As her hands trembled, she immediately checked his breath. However, to her dismay,Woods didn't breathe anymore...

Alyssa's eyes suddenly widened in anger. Frustration enveloped her face as she shouted, "It must beRocky. Rocky is the one that murdered my brother!" Sadness overwhelmed her heart.

When Alyssa was about to take Woods" body and leave, Woods suddenly let out a deep gasp. As heexhaled once again, Woods suddenly got up.

"Woods? Thank goodness, you're alive!" Alyssa exclaimed with a joyous voice. The sadness on herface was soon replaced by happiness. She felt that what happened just then was unbelievable."Huh? I'm not dead?" After he finally woke up, Woods immediately stood up and stared at Alyssa insurprise. Then, he looked around curiously and asked, "Where is Rocky?"

"That bastard escaped. But don't worry. I won't let him go. I'll make sure he pays dearly for trying tokill you!" Alyssa said ferociously as she gritted her teeth.

"No, he didn't. Instead, he actually saved me,” Woods said as he shook his head. Then, he feltsomething in his bosom. As he tried to catch his breath, Woods took the thing out and it turned outto be a red pearl.

"What? Isn't that the Dragon Flame Pearl?" A surprised expression painted Alyssa's face as shenoticed the pearl. Inmediately, she grabbed it from Woods.

"I believe Rocky used that to save me." Although he had no idea how it worked, Woods was surethat Rocky saved him with the Dragon Flame Pearl.

"What? The Dragon Flame Pearl belongs to Rocky? That means the treasure map also belongs to..."Alyssa softly whispered to herself as a thought passed through her mind.

"Alyssa, Rocky saved my life. Nonetheless, he might be in danger right now. Please send people toreplace him immediately!” Woods shouted frantically as he suddenly remembered that someone wasstill chasing after Rocky.

"He's in danger? What kind of danger?" Alyssa asked sincerely.

"I can't tell you now. But you must replace him!" After he hesitated for a while, Woods decided not totell her the real identity of Rocky. With Alyssa's personality, Woods didn't know what would happenif he told her. Rocky saved his life. As such, Woods had to keep this secret for him.

"I got it. I'll send you back to our country first. I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I should haveaccompanied you and Rocky back to the Timber Deity Empire,” Alyssa said remorsefully as shedidn't expect things to go like that. Back then, Rocky triggered her curse seal by chance, which shecouldn't accept. As such, she left in panic and went to somewhere to calm down.

"Please promise me. You have to replace him immediately!" Woods pleaded with pitiful eyes.

"Don't worry. Even if you don't ask, I will meticulously search for him.” Alyssa gave a curious look atthe Dragon Flame Pearl in her hand. A peculiar expression then painted her beautiful face. At thatmoment, she suddenly realized that Rocky was connected with her in some way. Otherwise, hewould not own the three lost treasures of the Roaring Flame Empire she was looking for. Of course,what she most wanted was the treasure map. Long before, she already knew that the treasure mapcontained an important secret of the Holy Dragon Empire. Therefore, she had to replace Rockyimmediately. It didn't matter if he was the one or not.

The news that Rocky paid allegiance to the Timber Deity Empire had already spread across theGehenna Border. The whole Crimson Dragon Army was shocked when they heard the awful news.No one would believe that Rocky had betrayed them. Nonetheless, the news was soon spread toEvian City. Lance was also shocked when he heard the story. With a regretful face, he couldn'tbelieve that Rocky had betrayed them!

The moment he heard the story, Lance immediately rushed to the main camp of Crimson DragonArmy. After he had arrived, he learned that Rocky was missing, which made him feel worried.

A day later, the news of Rocky's treachery had already spread to the Imperial City. The entireimperial family and the Palace City were also startled by the news. They didn't understand whyRocky, who was already a rising star of the Holy Dragon Empire, suddenly defected to the TimberDeity Empire.

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was very angry. He immediately ordered to keep the newsconfidential in order to avoid a bad influence. However, the news came from one to another andspread like wildfire to the citizens. Overnight, Rocky became notorious in the Holy Dragon Empire.Isis who just returned to the Imperial City also learned the news. Tearful eyes accompanied herconfused face as she was also astonished. With her understanding of Rocky, Isis couldn't believethat he would betray the Holy Dragon Empire. Inmediately, she asked someone to send a letter toLance. She wanted to know what actually happened. However, two days later, she received a letterfrom Lance. The letter revealed that Rocky was missing. Worried, she wanted to go backimmediately to the Gehenna Border. However, Lance told her to wait in the Imperial City. He toldher when everything was clear he would go back to the Imperial City immediately to clarify thesituation about Rocky.

Nonetheless, a strange string of events unfolded. When the news of Rocky's treachery was widelyspread, the Timber Deity Empire suddenly announced to cease the war and retreated all the militaryforces to its border. The warriors of the Crimson Dragon Army were badly injured after the battles.Additionally the news about Rocky had already spread widely. As such, Lance also ordered to ceasethe battle and withdrew the troops to the main camp.

As the news about the betrayal of Rocky was widely spread in the Holy Dragon Empire, a newbeginning awaited from a faraway place. In a cave made of grotesque sandstone in a desolatedesert, a man who seemed to be sleeping for a long time slowly opened his eyes. A look ofconfusion painted his handsome face. He stood up and looked around the boundless desert outsidein bewilderment.

“What's happening? I'm supposed to be dead. Where is this place? Why am I here? Rocky frownedand tapped his face to make sure that he was still alive. However, he was in a strange place.Everything seemed so inconceivable and his confusion grew even worse.

"Sue?" Rocky suddenly called out with a surprised look. However, he immediately shook his headsorrowfully. With a sad tone, he said, "Sue has been dead. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, shewould still be alive. Actually, it's Alston's fault. That bastard! I'll murder him even if it's the last thing Ido!"

After he grieved, Rocky immediately stood up and dusted off his clothes. Dressed in rags, he lookedlike a beggar. Strangely, there were no injuries on his body. He was supposed to be seriouslyinjured, yet even his internal injuries were gone.

“Someone must have saved me. That person must have also healed my wounds and brought mehere. But who might he be? Rocky pondered with a confused expression. Nonetheless, he couldn'treplace the answer at the moment.
