Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

'Did he just call me Corey?' "Who are you?" Rocky eventually asked. Rocky could just guess that this man could sense Corey's aura from his body, so he had mistaken him for Corey.

"What are you talking about? Don't you remember me? What happened? Were you reincarnated already? Is that why you have lost your memory?" the pair of demonic eyes asked.

"I'm not Corey and he has not been reincarnated either. It's just that I have inherited his power," Rocky answered honestly.

"Oh, I see. Then that explains why you can't even deal with that weak demon," the demonic eyes said in a teasing tone.

"So, are you the one who saved me just now?" Rocky still asked although he was already quite sure about it.

"Well, I sensed Corey's aura from your body, so I thought that my old friend has finally come back. It seems that he is no longer living if someone already inherited his power," the demonic eyes remarked in a pretty arrogant tone.

"If I may ask, am I at the top floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower?" Rocky asked upon getting the opportunity. After all, if he was, he was already close to accomplishing the king's task and leaving.

"Oh, that's right! Your soul is not actually inside the tripod, so I can use it without any reservations." Rocky was suddenly enlightened, and he somewhat regained his confidence.

"In addition to that, I have a treasure that can gather souls and spiritual power inside the Heavenly Demon Tower. It is called the Demonic Goblet. You can also take it since no one will really use it anymore. If you pair that with the Purgatorial Tripod, no spiritual being can resist their combined strength." As soon as Phillip finished speaking, a two-foot wide goblet appeared before him. It was shining with a purple light, and it exuded an evil aura.

"That is a demonic treasure, right?" At this point, Rocky could immediately recognize the difference between a demonic treasure and a divine treasure.

"Yes, it is."

"It's fine then. I don't need it," Rocky decisively refused. Demonic treasures were known to emit a strong fiendish aura, which could in turn affect the mind of the user. Hence, Rocky was afraid that it might cause a negative impact on him once he used it. Although it would be very helpful, he preferred not to take such a risk.
