The Medallion

Chapter 1718 Who Was The Prey

"These guys have joined hands?" Israel was a little surprised that the four Godly Geniuses had joined hands in battle, but he deemed that it was the most logical choice right now. He realized that the others must have been observing his fight against the Nether Dragon King for a while now. Thus, they had to admit that no one would have a chance to win against the monstrous creature if they fought by themselves.

Currently, he was regretful. He recognized that if he had not been too conceited, he could have joined hands with the other Godly Geniuses to take down the Nether Dragon King. Perhaps, they would have finished the mission by now.

"So, what are you thinking right now? Your face does not look too happy. Are you thinking of fighting this creature with us? Come on now! You don't need to think about it!" Gloria was well-aware of Israel's impressive strength. Once he joined them, their chances of defeating the Nether Dragon King would be much greater.

"Really? What if I betray all of you in the end and take all the credits for myself?" Israel asked with a smirk.

"Ha! Don't think so highly of yourself. You have already fought the dragon for such a long time. We know that you are also near your limit. If you have the guts to fight us in the end, you are going down!" Gloria said confidently. Of course, she had already considered the possible consequences. Otherwise, she would not dare to make such an offer.

"Think it through because that is a good bargain for you. Although you are the strongest among the nine Godly Geniuses, you cannot subdue the Nether Dragon King by yourself. Hence, we also do not need to be afraid of you," Quentin added in a serious tone.

"Besides, the Nether Dragon King is a beast of the Emperor Realm. In the end, it will have its own choice. Maybe it will pick one of us before we can do something to it. Who knows?" Gloria had already

considered this possibility before she even asked Israel.

"Fine. Since you are so sure of yourselves, let's finish this." Although Israel was still a little hesitant, he knew that in their current situation, working together with them was undoubtedly the best option.

As the five Godly Geniuses reached an agreement, they began to disperse in various directions to surround the Nether Dragon King. It was quite a stunning scene when all these powerful masters attacked their target at the same time.

Immediately after, a fierce battle broke out.

Although the strength of the Nether Dragon King was only somewhere between the medium stage and the premium stage of the Spiritual Emperor Realm, its abilities were astonishing. It did not fell to an obvious disadvantage even though it was facing five masters simultaneously.

On the other hand, the Godly Geniuses went all out by using their special skills and summoning all the powerful spiritual treasures that they possessed.

As the fierce battle ensued, it lasted for a day and a night.

However, with the lasting efforts of the Godly Geniuses, the Nether Dragon King seemed to be finally overwhelmed and was unable to hold on for much longer.

Seeing this, Valeria and the others took this opportunity and strengthened their attacks even more.

A moment later, the Nether Dragon King finally crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Whew! Finally!" That was the only time that the Godly Geniuses were able to heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were so excited about what could happen next.

After all, the next thing they had to do was to make sure that it would submit to one of them.

"Hey, we'll give you a chance to live. Choose any of us to be your master and you will be spared," Gloria uttered firmly.

However, to their surprise, the Nether Dragon King seemed not to have any intention of surrendering. It slowly raised its head and glanced at Gloria with utter disdain. Then, all of a sudden, its aura dramatically increased and instantly reached the peak level of the Emperor Realm. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Extremely flabbergasted, the Godly Geniuses could just exchange glances, wondering how it could still move like this when they had already defeated it. It seemed that they were tricked. The mighty dragon was concealing its full strength, and now, it was ready to unleash it. For demonic beasts, it was known that the limit of their strength could reach up to the peak level of the Emperor Realm, and they were about to witness it.

Moreover, because of this, they recognized that it would be impossible for any one of them to subdue it. Instead, they should be the ones that were in grave danger right now.

As the aura of the Nether Dragon King went through the roof, it became even more violent. Then, an overbearing force instantly surged out, gushing towards its enemies.

Since the power of the diabolic beast at the peak level of the Emperor Realm was way stronger than the combined strength of the five Godly Geniuses, all of them were sent flying and were seriously injured in the blink of an eye.

However, it seemed that the Nether Dragon king was not finished yet. Its rage was not yet quenched, and it seemed that it was determined to kill them all. The next moment, its huge eyes swept across Gloria. In a flash, it spurted a scorching wave of flames towards her.

Unfortunately, Gloria had been seriously injured from its last attack. Thus, her body had currently become numb, and she could not move it at all. As she saw the fiery wave coming towards her, she could do nothing to avoid or resist it.

Just as Gloria closed her eyes to wait for her impending doom, a figure suddenly appeared beside her, picked her up, and quickly took her away to dodge the looming disaster.

At the same time, the other four Godly Geniuses were also taken by surprise. They all wondered who it was that saved Gloria out of nowhere.

Gloria immediately felt that someone had taken her away. But when she opened her eyes, she was astounded by the face of the person in front of her.

"You? How? I thought you were already dead!" Gloria asked with her eyes wide open.

"Are you not even glad that I am still alive?" Rocky replied as he smiled bitterly.

"But Valeria said that you fell off the cliff!" Gloria was still in disbelief and thought that her mind was just playing tricks on her.

"So what? Can't I save myself just because I have fallen off a cliff?"

Hearing this, Gloria tried to rebut but found nothing to say.

After Rocky finally took Gloria to a safe distance, he saw that the Nether Dragon King was staring angrily at him. Of course, it was enraged that he took its target away.

Since there were too many people here, Rocky did not want to expose his real strength. So, he decided to use the Earth-diving Skill and instantly appeared beside Valeria.

At this moment, the Nether Dragon King's focus was shifted to Rocky. Without wasting any time, it spurted raging flames again that rushed towards Rocky and Valeria.

Rocky knew how powerful it was, so he immediately summoned his Magic Icy Armor to protect himself from it. Then, he also carried Valeria and made their escape.

"Let's get out of here first. We are no match to the Nether Dragon King at its current state," Rocky said after he put Valeria down to the spot where he left Gloria earlier.

Although the two women did not want to give up such a rare chance, it was clear to them that they would only die in vain if they tried to fight the Nether Dragon King. Thus, left with no other choice, they nodded and agreed with Rocky. At the same time, Purple also appeared and managed to find them. Therefore, the three women quickly bolted out together with Rocky.

At the same time, since the attention of the Nether Dragon King was focused on Rocky and the women, Quentin took the opportunity to use his spiritual treasure to escape. Then, Drew also used his transformation skill to get out of the scene. Lastly, since Israel saw that the others already dispersed, he immediately flew out as well.

However, the Nether Dragon King did not intend to let go of Rocky and the others. Hence, it summoned all the demonic beasts in its lair to chase after the Godly Geniuses.

At this point, all the demonic beasts in the lair had already reached the Emperor Realm. Normally, it would be possible for the Godly Geniuses to kill one or two of them. But if a horde of beasts were going after them, their only choice was to retreat as fast as they could.

Therefore, Rocky and the three women hurriedly took advantage of the complicated topography of the lair to hide and avoid detection.

In the blink of an eye, the day quickly passed.

After getting rid of the demonic beasts that were chasing them, Rocky and the women found a narrow cave, where they were able to safely recover their spiritual power.

"Damn it. I thought our plan to team up would be enough to take the Nether Dragon King down. Instead, the situation was reversed and we were the ones hunted down like prey. This task is going to

kill us all!" Gloria could not help but complain out of disappointment.

"Ha! No one forced you to come here in the first place," Rocky said with a cold snort.

"Why are you mad at me? Don't think that I will be grateful and willingly marry you just because you saved me back there!" Gloria retorted with dissatisfaction. However, she still had to admit that her impression of Rocky had been dramatically improved after the incident earlier.

"Fine. I did not tell you to thank me or marry me. What I am worried about is that I might die young after marrying you! Don't blame me if you became a widow so early."
