Chapter 110 Beyond Redemption
Chapter 110 Beyond Redemption
Rocky stormed through the area angrily, causing great vibrations to ripple throughout. A dense mass of
palace guards were startled and grasped in terror. Ever since, the Witch Palace had been a forbidden
place. Even a prince couldn't enter it unless the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire permitted.
However, Rocky was trying to break into it in a direct and blunt way. The palace guards had to stop him
regardless of his status as a prince. Though disrespecting him was fundamentally against their will,
they knew clearly that if the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire flew into a rage for their disregard for
their duty, they would be doomed.
Realizing the palace guards had no intention of making way for him, Rocky instantly displayed the
spiritual martial arts of the Vast Nebula Skill. Instantly two nebulas showed up in his hands, shooting
towards the palace guards, from left and right. "Boom! Boom!" The two nebulas exploded among the
palace guards, dust fog billowing in great clouds. Many of the palace guards were thrown off their feet.
As a result, their formation was scattered into total disorder.
Rocky sped up and planned to make use of the situation and break through their interception in one
stroke. However, it seemed that he had underestimated the strength of the palace guards who were
responsible for defending the Palace City of the Holy Dragon Empire. When he ran across them,
countless black shadows launched attacks against him from left and right. Immediately, he generated
the dragon spiritual power to resist the attacks. He had to stop in order to do this.
Very soon, the palace guards gathered into a new array to cluster around Rocky. The formation was
virtually airtight.
At the point, several figures appeared behind the palace guards, all of whom were beyond the medium
level of the Heavenly Stage. They stared at Rocky mercilessly with their hands behind their backs.
Rocky saw some sort of indolence in their eyes. It seemed that they looked down upon Rocky who was
just at the Earthly Stage, knowing that they could blast him away easily.
Rocky also noticed several spirit-manipulated beasts, hovering and roaring in the sky or snapping and
clawing on the ground. Like their owners standing beside, all of them were powerful with an overflowing
aura of arrogance.
Their owners were royal spirit manipulators, who were in charge of the protection of the Witch Palace. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't show up. They felt it rather peculiar that a prince would try
to break into the Witch Palace, so they came along with the palace guards to stop Rocky.
"Get out of my way!" Rocky bellowed, his eyes filling with fury. He didn't want to kill anyone. But if they
insisted on barring the way, he wouldn't be so easy on them.
"Your Royal Highness, entering the Witch Palace without permission is a crime. Please don't make
things difficult for us," one of the royal spirit manipulators reasoned as he stepped forward.
Running out of his patience, Rocky had nothing more to say. He raised his left arm, and then the
Dragon Spirit Marks started to dance around, winding rapidly over his muscles. Soon, his body
released the light representing his power at the Earthly Stage. Instantly, light spots gathering into
nebulas floated around his body like fireflies.
Even the overmatches at the medium level of the Heavenly Stage before him couldn't smash his strong
will to see Lena.
At the moment, Rocky breathed deeply with his eyes wide open. Soon, he sped up and passed through
several palace guards. The unlucky guards fell silently on the ground at once.
The other palace guards were all startled. However, they didn't dare to go off the deep end due to
Rocky's status. As for the royal spirit manipulators, they also stared speechless at each other. Actually,
it was easy for them to stop Rocky, but if he was injured, they would be unable to justify their action.
Having been aware of their soft spots, step by step, Rocky pressed on towards the palace guards and
the royal spirit manipulators.
Meanwhile, inside the Witch Palace, Lena, sitting up in bed, looked utterly dejected. Her eyes were dull
and glazed. It was as though a blanket of gloom had totally wrapped around her.
"Your Royal Highness, it's time to take some medicine!" Randi, her trusted and close maid, walked in
with a bowl of medicine in her hand. She placed it before Lena.
"To tell you the truth, I don't blame him. I'm just waiting for him to explain to me why he did that. Why
can't I remember what happened at all? I don't believe he would do that to me unless he was forced..."
Lena looked up at Randi, tears welling in her eyes. It was hard to tell whether she was talking to Randi
or herself.
Randi was confused. Last night, Allison told her Lena was sick and asked her to return alone first, so
she left and went back without thinking much. However, when Lena was sent back, she was extremely
frightened. No matter how she asked, Lena refused to tell her the truth. Since last night, Lena had been
always muttering to herself.
"Your Royal Highness, for your health, you should drink your medicine first," Randi persuaded.
"No, I don't want to drink it." Lena shook her head. Suddenly she heard a stir from outside. As her eyes
turned alert, she asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"I'll go out to check," Randi replied. She also noticed that something was definitely happening. She put
down the bowl and hurried out.
When Randi emerged, she was astonished at the sight. She saw a mass of palace guards stepping
back towards her. Before them, a resolute man striding on his sturdy legs drew closer and closer.
"Is he..." Randi recognized Rocky in an instant, but she immediately realized that something must be
wrong here. Thus, she turned around, intending to go back inside and tell Lena at once.
However, before she could go, a tall figure appeared next to her.
"Your Royal Highness!" Surprised, Randi bowed to Alston.
"Do me a favor, if you don't want Lena to get hurt again," Alston said with insidious eyes.
"What's going on here?" Randi asked anxiously, her eyebrows furrowing in worry.
Alston then bent down and whispered in her ear. Utterly shocked at what he told her, Randi cried out,
"Is it true?"
"Would I lie about something grave? You must keep it a secret. Apparently, someone wants to hurt Her
Royal Highness once again. So, you know what to do, don't you?" Alston said as he glared at Rocky.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Randi walked forward, across the palace guards, and stood before
Rocky.
"It's you! Randi! Tell Lena I'm here to see her! I need to explain everything to her!" Rocky shouted
excitedly at the sight of Lena's maid, whom he had met before. Seeing Randi gave him a surge of
hope, for it meant Lena would agree to meet him.
"Her Royal Highness knows you are here, but she asked me to tell you that she didn't want to see you.
She never wants to see you again," Randi stated with cold eyes. Though she was lying to him, she
thought that probably would be the best way to protect Lena from harm.
"What do you mean? I don't believe that..." Rocky shook his head at a loss. Being stunned, he couldn't
believe Randi's words.
"Go now! You have broken her heart already. Please don't do it again." Finishing her words, Randi
turned away to Alston.
"Good job. You can go back to accompany Her Royal Highness now. Remember! Don't let her go out.
Understand?" Alston advised repeatedly.
"Your Royal Highness, you may rest assured. I know what to do." Randi nodded and returned to the
Witch Palace.
"What's going on outside?" Lena asked when Randi came back.
"Nothing. Your Royal Highness, you should take the medicine and have a rest," Randi replied while
shaking her head.
At Randi's urging, Lena finally took the medicine.
After that, Randi got a block of sleep-inducing incense and lit it in the censer. Very soon, the fragrance
pervaded all over the room.
Thanks to the efficacy of the medicine and the fragrance of the incense, Lena, who had been utterly
fatigued both mentally and physically, finally felt drowsy.
However, at this point, Rocky, feeling utterly desperate, shouted himself blue in the face. "Lena Long,
I'm here to see you! Lena Long, I'm here to see you!" His screams resounded with desperation and
remorse.
Hearing this, Lena suddenly opened her pretty eyes and shouted, "I hear Basil calling me. Is he
outside?"
"Your Royal Highness, you must be imagining things. No one has called you. Have a good rest. If His
Royal Highness comes, I will wake you up," Randi comforted Lena.
Lena believed Randi's words and nodded. Quickly, she fell asleep.
"Your Royal Highness, please don't hate me. I just want to protect you," Randi bitterly muttered to
herself, looking at Lena, who was now finally sleeping soundly.
Having gone off to dreamland, Lena never expected that this would lead Rocky to a situation beyond
redemption.
