Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne - Chapter 1856 Whom Should I Protect

“Silly girl! Don’t say that. Of course, I will protect you. Otherwise, whom should I protect?” Rocky said with a shake of his head and a smile across his lips. Of course, he knew what was on her mind. Valeria must know that, if he was alone, he could easily break out of the encirclement of the bat-shaped ghostly demons.

His answer stunned Valeria, who didn’t expect Rocky to utter something so sweet that it further deepened her love for him. She blushed and lowered her face for a few moments.

“Then what should we do now?” Valeria asked as she raised her head, her dazzling eyes narrowed.

“It appears I’ll have to ask Rubygon to take you to the Demon Sealing Palace while I stay behind to cover you.” Rocky began to think about it at once.

While the two talked, Rocky suddenly felt that someone was spying on them from the corner of his eye. He looked sideways but then, after looking in that direction, didn’t see any suspicious figure.

However, once he turned around, he sensed the same feeling creep up on him again.

“How strange!” Rocky couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong. He stood up and told Valeria, “I’m going over there to have a better look. If anything happens, let Rubygon call me.”

“Got it! Be careful.” Valeria nodded.

Rocky then walked towards the direction where he suspected someone suspicious was watching him.
