Alex sighed with a forlorn air about her. She felt powerless in the face of Vivian's grief, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
Just as the cloying silence became too much for them, a great splash suddenly erupted from the pool close to the crystal palace as a figure shot out. The greenish water spattered everywhere, and some dissolved into green mist.
Hearing the noise, both Alex and Vivian immediately looked over, and their faces brightened with a look of joy.
The figure was none other than Rocky!
It turned out that before the crystal palace was completely sealed, Rocky arrived at the pool where the devil spirit had been staying. He figured that the pool had some kind of passage that led outside, so he took the plunge.
Just as Rocky expected, he soon found a hole under the pool, and the moment he swam out of the crevice, the entire thing collapsed.
He swam along the passage, looking for the exit before he finally found it and came out.
At the flip side, the first things that Rocky sensed were Alex's and Vivian's auras, so he promptly headed in their direction.
Both of the women were overjoyed to see that he had survived after all.
"Is the devil spirit sealed?" Alex asked in a worried tone.
"Sort of..." Rocky had actually killed the devil spirit, but he didn't want to let her know, since it would be too troublesome to explain.
"I'm glad to hear that." Alex nodded and let out a relieved sigh.
"We should find a place to heal Vivian first." The wounds on Vivian's body were still bleeding sluggishly. Rocky took one look at her, picked her up, and carried her in his arms.
