The Medallion

Chapter 1844 Stay Away From Trouble

"So, Phillip had such an amazing background. I did not see that coming!" Rocky was astonished after hearing the truth behind the master of the ghostly demons. He shook his head, thinking that the Holy- Evil World was indeed a complicated place.

"My primary concern is that someone might be trying to remove the seal on Phillip and release his soul. If that happens, the entire Shura Continent would suffer and experience hell again. For a second time, it will be torched to the ground. However, this time, once the Shura Continent is destroyed, it also means that the Holy-Evil World will also collapse!" There was obviously anxiety and urgency in Mikayla's voice as if she had already predicted the destruction of both the Shura Continent and the Holy-Evil World. Perhaps, this was what Deacon's prophecy was all about. Hence, at this moment, both the deities and the members of the Shura Race could only depend on Rocky to save all of them.

"Madam, all I need to do is prevent Phillip's seal from being broken, right?" Hearing what Mikayla told him, Rocky understood that this should be his main task.

"Yes. I want you to go to the Ghostly Demon Land and make sure that the seal will stay in place." Mikayla nodded firmly.

"Can't the deities do it by themselves? After all, you are more powerful than us mortal beings," Rocky asked, a bit confused with this fact. NôvelDrama.Org content.

"As much as I want to, we cannot do anything. Back when Phillip was sealed, he released his vital energy to set up a very unique enchanted barrier in that area. It won't harm any ordinary races, but it would cause fatal damages to the members of the divine race. Therefore, only ordinary races and members of the demonic race can enter that place..." Mikayla explained in a gloomy tone.

"I see. But you also know my current strength. Right now, I can only deal with low or middle-grade masters at the Shura Realm. If they are slightly stronger than that, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them. Moreover, I assume that the Shura Race's royal family will dispatch masters at the premium

grade of the Shura Realm in order to ensure the safety of the candidates," Rocky said with honesty, expressing his concerns about this mission.

"Don't worry. Of course, I won't let you fight alone. If I remember correctly, you have obtained a demonic egg before, right?" Mikayla suddenly asked.

"I think? It should be a long time ago... How did you know about that?" When Mikayla asked about the magic egg, Rocky briefly recalled that he had once found a demonic egg in a place called the Bewitching Grotto. He also found out that the egg was capable of absorbing spiritual powers. He wanted to observe it, so he put it inside the Magic Spiritual Space. However, until now, nothing happened with the egg. In fact, he almost forgot about it already.

"Ever since the first time we met, I already sensed the aura of the egg from you. I assume that you have no idea that the egg actually carries a powerful demonic beast from the Holy-Evil World. It was once known for being ferocious and brutal, but it was seriously injured by an upper deity of our race. After that, it turned into an egg and became inactive. However, the egg could not be destroyed. Moreover, if it stayed in the Holy-Evil World, it would hatch faster and would cause great disaster again. Hence, it was sent to the Shura Continent," Mikayla explained.

"But if the egg is powerful and evil, then it could also harm the Shura Continent. Is it really all right to unleash it?" Rocky asked, a bit confused at the fact that the egg was sent to the Shura Continent when it could be so destructive.

"As I said earlier, the egg would hatch faster if it stayed in the Holy-Evil World. It will take less than a hundred years because the spiritual power in the Holy-Evil World is so exuberant. However, if it is in the Shura Continent, it will take at least a thousand years before it hatches again," Mikayla revealed.

"Oh, I see." Rocky nodded, finally understanding the reason behind it.

"But now, almost a thousand years have passed since then, and it's almost time for the egg to hatch again. However, if you can establish a spiritual contract with the egg, you will be able to control the demonic beast. Even if it is still a cub, its strength will be equivalent to a master at the Shura Realm. Moreover, if we let it absorb some spiritual power from the Holy-Evil World, in just a few days, it will already reach the premium grade of the Shura Realm. You will have a reliable and powerful assistant at your side all the time," Mikayla said very positively.

"That sounds amazing!" Rocky never expected that the demonic egg that he only found by accident would actually be so helpful for him.

"However, I must warn you with something. This is very crucial, so please listen carefully. Once you try to establish a spiritual contract with the egg, it means that you will have to withstand the evil spirit that it emits. Obviously, this is not an easy task, and normal people could not possibly do it. Even with your current strength, you are still susceptible to spiral into madness. You must be mentally prepared for this." Mikayla gave a fair warning.

Heaving a heavy sigh, Rocky replied, "All right..." He had been through this kind of trial countless times before, so he was confident that there was nothing that he could not overcome.

"Now, take out the egg," Mikayla instructed. Now that Rocky was ready, they needed not to waste any more time.

Then, Rocky immediately entered the Magic Spiritual Space and took out the red demonic egg. As he went back to Mikayla, he put it in front of him.

"Now, I'm going to teach you the formula to establish the contract between you and the egg. This is actually a unique skill of the divine race." Immediately after, a streak of red light shot out from Mikayla and drilled into the middle of Rocky's eyebrows.

In a flash, the formula emerged in Rocky's mind, and he was able to read it clearly.

"Let's begin the process!"

Afterward, Rocky chanted and activated the formula. In an instant, the spiritual power gushed out of his body and rushed towards the egg in front of him. At the same time, the egg that sensed the abundant amount of spiritual power suddenly released a malevolent evil spirit that tried to resist Rocky's spiritual power.

Rocky was a bit caught off guard. He never anticipated that the egg would actually possess such powerful energy. In fact, he had already exerted all of his spiritual power, but he was yet to establish a contract with the egg. His spiritual energy could not reach the egg's body.

At the moment of this stalemate, a stream of divine power descended from the sky and poured into Rocky's body. With this, the power inside his body rose sharply, instantly suppressing the egg's evil spirit. Not long after, he successfully forced his spiritual power into the egg, establishing a contract with it.

Soon enough, the egg's resisting power finally weakened and eventually dissipated. After a few moments, everything calmed down again.

"Now, I'll take this egg back to the Holy-Evil World and wait for it to hatch. Once you enter the Ghostly Demon Land, the cub should have already gone out. At that time, I will find a way to send the cub to you." As soon as Mikayla finished speaking, the egg rose into the air. Then, it disappeared into the golden light.

The next moment, when Rocky regained his senses, he was already sent back beside the lake.

Then, out of nowhere, Valeria appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" Rocky asked wondering if she was already there for a long time.

"I just happened to pass by, and then I saw you." The truth was that she really came there on purpose to see Rocky. However, since she knew that he was cultivating, she did not want to disturb him.

"Okay then... By the way, I have prepared a few treasures for you. Our trip this time is extremely dangerous, so you have to be extra prepared. Take them and make use of them when we enter the Ghostly Demon Land." Then, Rocky took out a few holy treasures that he had carefully chosen from the palace. Although they were just imitations of the real divine treasures from the Holy-Evil World, they were still useful and very precious in the Shura Continent.

Seeing these items, Valeria's eyes instantly flashed with excitement. Even at first glance, she could tell that these treasures were extraordinary.

"Where did you get all of these?" Valeria asked out of curiosity.

"Well, you can say that these are a part of what I gained from my trip to the territory of the human race," Rocky immediately replied, coming up with a convenient excuse.

Valeria did not probe any further and just accepted the items happily.

The trip to the Ghostly Demon Land this time was a rare opportunity. Many were qualified to fight for the position as the next ruler of the Shura Race. Hence, all nine fiefs wanted to make the most out of it. Even if they could not successfully become the successor of the king, they could still get lots of benefits.

Those who were allowed to go to the Ghostly Demon Land were either superior masters from the nine fiefs or members of the royal family. All of these people were at least at the premium grade of the Emperor Realm, and many were already at the Shura Realm. At the same time, the three primary candidates, Zain, Layla, and Enoch, would surely grab this opportunity to secure their victory. Hence, they would be accompanied by powerful warriors once they entered the Ghostly Demon Land. That way, they could prevent themselves from falling into danger even if the place was filled with dangers.
