Chapter 1663 Kindness

Ordinary people should have been scared out of their wits when they encountered the demonic beast,
but not Rocky. Instead, he looked at it with great interest. In fact, if it weren't for the beast's strong aura,
he was even thinking of taking it away to study it further.

Seeing that Rocky didn't seem to be afraid of it, the red-eyed demonic beast became more irritated. It
immediately opened its mouth and roared mightily. In an instant, an overwhelming sound wave rushed
towards Rocky.

Sensing the surging power, Rocky quickly retreated to dodge it.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the ground where Rocky had been standing was blasted by the sound wave.

"What a powerful force! Even its roar alone is destructive enough. I can also guess that this beast is
imprisoned here because it's too dangerous if it gets out of control." Rocky was stunned at what he
saw. Immediately after, he decided to keep his distance from the beast.

But before he could even take a few steps back, the savage beast suddenly grew more agitated. Its
huge body stood on the round platform, revealing a height of more than thirty meters, towering over the
wall behind it like a hill.

Then, the red-eyed demonic beast began to struggle hard, trying to free itself from the iron chains that
were restraining it. With this, the eighteen pillars surrounding it and the platform itself shook violently as
if they were about to collapse at any time.

However, a thunderous current suddenly burst out from the bottom of the round platform, spreading all
over the body of the demonic beast, making it roar and writhe in pain.

As a result, the beast eventually crouched down, making the vicious lightning flow dissipate.



"Hmm. Although the demonic beast is extremely powerful, the sealing spell can easily suppress it. I
wonder who the person responsible for creating such a formidable sealing spell was," Rocky mumbled
to himself in surprise.

At this moment, he suddenly heard some footsteps approaching, so he immediately retreated and hid
in a nearby bush of flowers.

Not long after, an old man whose strength should be far above the Emperor Realm arrived together
with several members of the Shura Race.

Instantly, the old man's sharp eyes swept across the entire area around the platform. At the same time,
the members of the Shura Race scattered and began to search around. But when they deemed that
there was nothing wrong, they quickly returned to the old man's side.

"Sir I don't think there is anything unusual here. It must only be the beast throwing a tantrum," one of
the members of the Shura Race reported.

"I see. The God-worshipping Ritual is about to start soon. That means the seal of the beast will also
gradually decline. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong until the ritual is finished. Just to be sure,
from now on, arrange several people to guard this place every day."

"Yes, sir!"

Right after that, the old man left together with the other members of the Shura Race.

'God-worshipping Ritual? What the hell is that? I don't have an idea, but it seems that it's an important
event for the Shura Race, ' Rocky thought to himself as he continued hiding among the bush of flowers.
After ensuring that the people from before were nowhere in sight, he hurriedly left, deeming that it was
not safe to hang around in that place.



After returning to the Ghost Palace, Rocky stayed there and continued to study all sorts of medical
skills.

In the blink of an eye, two days had already passed.

Meanwhile, Esteban already returned from his journey. The moment he entered the palace, he noticed
that the spells that he set up at the gates were no longer working. His eyes widened and immediately
thought that it might be Rocky's doing and that he might have escaped. With this thought in mind, he
quickly rushed into the palace and went to look at Rocky's room. However, Esteban saw that Rocky
was still there, lying on the ice bed with a medical book in one hand, while his head rested on the other.
He must have slept after reading all those books.

"This is quite unexpected. He should have quickly realized if the restriction on the gates were already
destroyed. So, who's the bastard who has broken my seals then?" Esteban cursed as he narrowed his
eyes.

"I don't think you should call them that. Well, two women barged into the palace and were searching for
you. One of them was poisoned, so they came to ask you to heal her," Rocky answered as he
eventually opened his eyes.

"What? There were two women, and one of them was poisoned? Did they mention who they are?"
Esteban asked with furrowed brows.

"Hmm. If I remember correctly, the poisoned woman was called Vivian."

"Miss Vivian?! Oh shit! She was poisoned?! Then, what happened?" After hearing the name of the
woman, Esteban's expression became extremely serious.

"Well, I told them that you are not here, so they eventually left." Of course, Rocky did not tell Esteban
that he actually used the Skill of Magic Needle to heal Vivian.



"Damn it! I will be in great trouble! No one else in the Ghost Capital can heal her except me!" Esteban
exclaimed as he started pacing back and forth, obviously nervous at the woman's condition.

"Why are you so nervous? Who is this Miss Vivian?" Rocky asked casually.

"Miss Vivian is the leader's younger sister…" Esteban mumbled softly.

"Really? Then what are you still doing here? Don't you have to go and check on her? I'm afraid that if
she dies, you might also follow her fate immediately!"

Hearing this, it seemed that Esteban came to his senses and left in a hurry.

However, not long after, Esteban came back to the palace, wearing a sour face. "That woman is crazy!
It's not like I didn't want to save Miss Vivian! It just happened that I was not here when they arrived.
Why did she have to scold me so harshly? But that is not the most insane thing that happened. She
said that someone actually healed Miss Vivian! Who on earth is that guy, and where did they find him?
But she won't tell me no matter how hard I insisted, so it really pisses me off!"

Hearing all of Esteban's complaints, Rocky smiled inwardly. It seemed that the woman who was with
Miss Vivian kept her promise to him.

But since Esteban was in bad mood, he started bossing Rocky around.

However, it didn't really matter to Rocky. He just did everything that Esteban ordered him.

Because of his diligence, it didn't take long for Esteban to finally calm down.

"Hey, young man. Didn't you want to leave this place?" Esteban asked out of nowhere.

While Rocky was still bustling around, he smiled and responded, "Sir, I know that you have your reason
if you want to keep me here. So, if you want to let me go and you have a way to do it, then it is up to



you."

"Hmm. I guess you really are smarter than you appear. From your answer, I could speculate that you
have already gone outside and known where you really are. Well, I'm not that interested in your real
identity or where you are originally from, but I know that you are very important to the leader. Hence, I
just have two choices here. It's either I hand you over to him, or I could help you leave this place,"
Esteban remarked with a serious look on his face. In fact, the main reason why Esteban had set
restrictions at the gates of the palace was that he was preventing Gilbert from discovering that Rocky
was still alive.

"But aren't you working for that leader? Why are you going to betray him?" Rocky asked in confusion.
Actually, he had always wondered why Esteban saved him. He even lied to Gilbert when asked if
Rocky was already dead.

"Ha-ha! Do not be mistaken. The only reason that I am staying here is that I am repaying him a favor,"
Esteban answered with a cold snort.

"So, does that leader know that you also are a human?" Rocky asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, of course. In fact, he is the only one who knows. Well, besides you," Esteban replied indifferently.

"I see…" Rocky responded with a nod.

"Knowing the character of Leader Gilbert, once he knows that you are still alive, your chance of survival
would be very low. On the other hand, if he decided not to kill you, he would only allow you to live in the
Ghost Capital. After all, if you leave this place, you won't be able to live as a human." Although Esteban
actually had an unsociable attitude, he was still kind to Rocky since they were both from the human
race.
