Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 541: Chapter 505 Chapter 541: Chapter 505 Seeing Rocky burst in, Mar reacted extremely quickly, drawing his Mana Sword and spinning to stab, but his target was not Rocky, but Athena standing behind him!

At the same moment he turned around, Rocky also rushed towards Liliya, both men in a race against time.

To be fair, although the White Demon was quicker, Mar was too close to Athena. He had been standing right in front of her and a mere turn was all it took to pierce her chest.

And that’s exactly what he did!

In that moment, everything in Athena’s eyes seemed to slow down. She could see every minute detail of Mar as he turned and watched helplessly as he drove the Mana Sword towards her, leaving her no chance to dodge.

Slowly, ever so slowly, the Mana Sword in Athena’s view approached her chest, but she wasn’t panicked at all; it was as if she had long made peace with her fate, silently waiting for the Mana Sword to pierce her.

But just then, the Mana Sword stopped.

Instantly, everything in Athena’s sight returned to normal. Looking down, she saw Mar’s Mana Sword had stopped right in front of her chest, not even an inch away. When she followed the blade with her eyes, she discovered a hand gripping it at the Sword Peak!

In that critical moment, even though Rocky couldn’t shove Athena out of harm’s way or block the attack in time, he had managed to grasp the Mana Sword with his hand!

“You!”

Mar was stunned for a moment when he saw his thrust being caught by Rocky, and in that moment of distraction, Rocky seized the opportunity to position himself in front of Athena. Seeing this, Mar immediately withdrew his sword, slashing the armor on Rocky’s palm, then delivered a powerful blow straight at Rocky!

However, as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a chill on his neck and then realized the blade of the Magic Fang Scythe had just swept past his face…

What was happening…

Seeing this scene, Mar was confused. Then his head, still befuddled, tumbled to the ground with a roll…!

The whole incident had happened too quickly, and since Mar was completely focused on Athena, he wasn’t aware of what Rocky had done. In reality, in that split second, not only had Rocky grabbed the Mana Sword with one hand, but he also drew the Magic Fang Scythe with his other hand, placing it right behind Mar’s neck. So when Mar raised the Mana Sword intending to chop down, Rocky casually swung it, slicing off his head like cutting down wheat!

As the head hit the ground, a high jet of blood sprayed from Mar’s body onto the ceiling of the room. Athena reacted quickly, stepping back from Rocky, who ended up covered in blood.

Shortly after, sounds of combat came from below. A few minutes later, someone arrived in the room.

“Lord Rocky, all have been captured.”

The one who entered was a Void Magic Warrior from the Alliance Army, and also a squad leader. The fighting sounds that had come from downstairs were the result of his squad battling Mar’s men, and now the enemy had been subdued.

“Leave the armors, kill the men.”

“Yes!”

The squad leader left after acknowledging the order. How he would carry out Rocky’s command was unknown, and neither Rocky nor Athena cared.

With that, Athena was essentially free from the control of Glory City and Alas, as Mairente City had now fallen into Rocky’s hands, and all official transfer procedures were complete. Plus, with Mar and his people dead, neither Glory City nor Alas had any more power over Athena.

So, once the squad leader left, Rocky turned to Athena, “Do you want to stay here, or move to the City Lord’s Mansion?”

“I’ll stay here for now. You’re not planning to stay long anyway, and when you leave, I’ll return to Thunderhawk City with you.”

Athena said smilingly, glancing at the bloodied Rocky. Just as she finished speaking, Rocky paused briefly, surprised because she was right again!

But this wasn’t the first time Rocky had witnessed Athena’s almost prophetic insight, so after a brief moment of surprise, he nodded. Athena continued to stay in the hotel, only changing to a different room, while Rocky left Mairente Family’s airspace the next day.

On arrival, they had been but four Sky Cities; however, by the time they departed Mairente Family’s air zone, the number of Sky Cities had more than doubled—an addition of five more Sky Cities!

Undoubtedly, the trip was a massive gain both for Rocky personally and the Sky Alliance. Both had obtained everything they wanted from the Mairente Family, and, as expected, when Rocky reported the results back to the Alliance, the Sky Alliance quickly responded.

The reply was straightforward; on one hand, it praised Rocky’s performance in the mission, and on the other, as a reward for his contributions in the great battle that preceded, Mairente City would be given to Rocky by the Sky Alliance!

Thus, Mairente City finally returned to Rocky’s hands!

This news made it onto the weekly report of the Shadow Alliance and became one of the biggest stories to hit the headlines in recent times, besides the Demons.
