Chapter 1535 An Unbelievable Occurrence

Two days passed in the twinkling of an eye. Rocky and Eunice had searched through numerous areas
under Kohen's guidance, but they couldn't find any traces of the Army-blessing Scroll.

"Hey, little guy, can you find it or not?

I'm getting tired of all this searching!" complained Eunice.

She heaved Kohen upward and forced it to look into her eyes as she scowled at it grumpily.

Kohen stared back at her with an innocent, puppy-like expression that erased all the irritation she felt
earlier.

"Oh, darn it! Don't look so sad. We'll find it soon," muttered Eunice.

She hesitantly patted Kohen on the head, trying to comfort it.

All of a sudden, the little pet abruptly straightened warily and hissed twice. It seemed like it had sensed
something dangerous coming their way, as it glared fiercely toward the left of where Rocky and Eunice
were standing.

Almost at the same time, Rocky also noticed the subtle shaking of the ground that grew stronger and
stronger every second as if a huge monster was approaching.

"What's wrong, little guy?

Is something coming?"

Eunice asked Kohen, turning her confused gaze toward Rocky.

While Rocky and Eunice were looking at each other in bewilderment, an enormous shadow suddenly
covered them. It stood at least ten meters tall, as high as a small mountain. Although they couldn't see



clearly what it looked like, they could see the black spikes protruding from all over its body, which made
it look like a gigantic hedgehog.

"Whoa! That thing is huge. Let's get out of here!"

Rocky was the first to react. He saw that they were at a disadvantage and immediately shouted a
warning. He grabbed Eunice's waist and swiftly dragged her backward with him.

Rocky, with Eunice in his arms, retreated and landed on his feet dozens of meters away from the giant
hedgehog. But it suddenly shook its huge body, and black spikes instantly shot out from it like a
rainstorm, covering the area within a hundred meters with black spikes. The surrounding trees became
collateral damage as the spikes speared through them and tore them to pieces.

The black spikes were as thick as tree trunks. Thus, once a spike struck the ground, it instantly cracked
and collapsed like sand. Although Rocky and Eunice tried their best to defend against the spikes with
their spiritual power, their defensive moves were helpless in the face of their sheer power. In one
instance, one spike broke through their spiritual power' defense, heading directly toward Eunice's
chest.

"Eunice! Watch out!"

Seeing that Eunice was in grave danger, Rocky didn't have time to think and instinctively protected her
with his own body.

In the blink of an eye, the black spike stabbed Rocky from behind. It held so much force that it
protruded from Rocky's right shoulder and almost reached Eunice. Fortunately, he had adjusted his
posture just in time to avoid it from hurting Eunice. The huge power contained in the spike also affected
his body and destroyed his meridians, causing him intense pain. His eyes darkened from the blow, and
his vision shifted and spun.



"Hurry! Run!"

However, before he completely lost his consciousness, he was able to whisper a warning to Eunice,
urging her to escape.

His voice was hoarse and weak, sounding like he was on the verge of death.

"Basil? Basil! Wake up!" Eunice felt both guilty and terrified. Rocky had just saved her life, at the cost of
his own safety. She shook Rocky a few times but found that he wasn't responding, which made her
even more anxious. She was afraid that the giant hedgehog would try to attack them again, so she
didn't hesitate to grab Kohen from Rocky's shoulders, thrust it into her pocket, and then used her
delicate body to support Rocky. At the same time, she took out a spiritual rune, and spontaneously
used her spiritual power to ignite it.

The next moment, the rune erupted into a white ripple of light, which instantly devoured Rocky and
Eunice.

Once the light dissipated, the two of them had disappeared from where they had been.

On the other hand, the giant hedgehog seemed to calm down when they were gone. It turned around
and left, leaving the forest of about a hundred meters radius destroyed.

Meanwhile, Eunice had transported herself and Rocky to a small valley three hundred meters away.
Thick foliage and gigantic trees enveloped the valley, which made it perfect for hiding.

She soon found a cave deeper in the valley and helped Rocky inside. She laid him on the ground,
checked his body with her spiritual power, and made sure that he was comfortable. She found that the
spiritual power in his body was not in disarray, and the injury he had suffered didn't affect any of his
vital parts.



With a deep breath, Eunice pulled out the black spike from Rocky's right shoulder, and as a result,
blood gushed out from his wound like a river. She immediately tore off a piece of her skirt and pressed
it on Rocky's wound to stop the bleeding. However, she realized after a few minutes that the bleeding
wasn't slowing down.

Panicking slightly, she hastily fumbled with a bottle of medicine and applied it onto Rocky's wound.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to have any effect.

"Why won't it stop bleeding?

At this rate, he may bleed to death!"

Eunice murmured fearfully.

Suddenly, she felt a slight movement from her pocket. It was Kohen, who was wriggling and trying to
come out. It immediately jumped onto Rocky's chest and began licking the wound on his right shoulder.

"Stop it, little guy. His wounds might get infected if you continued licking him like that!"

Eunice hurriedly picked up Kohen. But to her surprise, she found that the bleeding on Rocky's wound
had slowed down.

"Did—did you do that?"

she asked confusedly, looking at Kohen with a stunned expression.

Kohen stuck its tongue out as if it was asking for credit.

"Does your saliva have healing properties?"

Eunice wondered out loud.



Without any delay, she put Kohen back on Rocky's chest and let it continue licking Rocky's injury. The
bleeding stopped soon enough, but Rocky still did not wake up.

Eunice stared at Rocky worriedly, bound up his wound, and sat cross-legged, adjusting her breath and
waiting for Rocky to wake up.

Midnight came soon. The beasts outside the cave slept on; the cold winds howled and swirled, and the
temperature dropped to uncomfortable levels.

Inside the cave, Eunice had already ignited a bonfire to warm herself and Rocky.

"Why aren't you waking up, man?

Come on! You're supposed to be strong!"

She couldn't help but sigh in distress. Rocky had been unconscious for almost a day, but his condition
didn't change a bit. If Eunice didn't see him breathing faintly, she would have thought him dead already.

Kohen was lying down on Rocky's stomach, looking a little restless.

While Eunice was racking her brain for what she should do, Rocky's body abruptly ignited with a golden
light, which was emitting holy power.

"What's happening?"

She stared at the golden light that Rocky's body was continuously emitting, a fascinated expression on
her face.

Just as she stretched out her hand to examine the light, Rocky suddenly opened his eyes. However,
his eyes were glassy and vacant. His body slowly floated up from the ground and flew out of the cave
in the blink of an eye.



Of course, Eunice was utterly stunned and hurried out after Rocky's body. As soon as she got out of
the cave, she was met by an even more shocking scene.

Under the faint moonlight, Rocky's whole body was shining with a golden light, and this golden light
repeatedly flowed from all directions and integrated into his body.

His aura simultaneously increased, and his strength suddenly reached an incredible level—the
Emperor Realm!
