The Medallion
Chapter 1858 No Match

"The enchanted barrier of the Demon Sealing Palace was established through the power of the gods of the Holy-Evil World. Only powerful demons are able to get past the barrier. However, if one possesses a holy treasure from the demonic race or the divine race, they have the chance to overcome the barrier," Anya said. "For example, the God-killing Sword that you have is a holy treasure of the divine race. Its original owner was Deacon, one of the gods of the Holy-Evil World."

"So, in short, I can use the God-killing Sword to open the enchanted barrier that seals off the Demon Sealing Palace," Rocky assumed based on Anya's words. He was actually surprised that the God-killing Sword was, in fact, a key that could unravel the enchanted barrier of the Demon Sealing Palace.

"Yes, that is right. That is the sole reason why King Corey was summoned to this place," Anya affirmed, nodding her head lightly.

"I see. Then, I have to be more careful from here on." Rocky realized that he was lucky to accidentally break the shackles in the area and release Anya in the process. Otherwise, he would've made mistakes since he didn't know any information about the palace. However, he was also quite confused by the fact that Mikayla didn't warn him about such a thing.

"Argh!" While Rocky was still talking with Anya, they suddenly heard a loud roar from afar.

Rocky quickly recognized that it came from Rubygon. At the same time, its roar sounded as if it was not in a good situation, so he rushed out in a hurry and headed to the area where he left Valeria and Rubygon.

Not long after, he saw that Valeria and Rubygon were surrounded by a group of martial spirits that he had released.

Seeing that they were in danger, Rocky immediately took out the God-killing Sword and unleashed its powerful holy power. Upon sensing this, the martial spirits instantly trembled in fear and quickly dispersed in various directions.

"Are you okay? Were you hurt?" Rocky asked as soon as he landed beside Valeria.

"No, I'm fine. But where did those martial spirits come from? They just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they are all very powerful!" Fortunately, Rocky made it in time, but Valeria was still a bit shaken. A this moment, she was trying to calm herself by taking deep breaths.

"Sorry. It was actually me who let them out," Rocky admitted and let out an awkward smile.

"What? It was you?" Valeria was stunned and upset at the same time that she wanted to smack Rocky in the head.

A moment later, Anya also arrived and appeared in front of them.

Seeing the unfamiliar face, Valeria instantly became wary.

"Don't worry, she is not an enemy. Her name is Anya, and she's actually one of your kind. She is one of the ancestors of the Shura Race and got stuck in this place," Rocky explained. "Did you just say that she's one of our ancestors?" Valeria could not help but exclaim. Obviously, it was more shocking than the fact that Rocky accidentally let out a horde of martial spirits. "Master, who is she?" Anya glanced at Valeria and turned to Rocky.

"Oh, yeah. This is Valeria, my nominal wife." Rocky then introduced Valeria.

"Madam! I'm sorry I didn't know." Anya's tone instantly became very respectful upon learning who Valeria was.

"No, please don't call me like that. It sounds very awkward to me. Besides, you are my ancestor. I should actually be the one who shows more respect. Please just call me Valeria." Valeria was so flattered that she did not feel too comfortable with it.

"What? I can't do that. Master has inherited King Corey's holy power. Since you are his wife, then you also are my master," Anya replied firmly. She still stayed respectful towards Valeria for Rocky's sake. "Ha-ha! I know this would happen." Rocky could not stop laughing after hearing the conversation between the two.

"What are you laughing at? This is not funny at all! Tell her to address me normally!" Valeria quickly glared at Rocky for making fun of her and Anya.

"All right, all right. Anya, you can call each other by your names." Rocky eventually mediated while still wearing a smile on his face.

"But I don't think that's a good idea, master!" Anya still wasn't willing to do what she was told since she had a strong sense of inferiority.

"Just listen to him. From now on, I'll call you Anya," Valeria said with a faint smile. She also wanted Anya to be more relaxed around them, so she took the initiative.

"Um, all right then. If that is what you really want." Though she was still a little reluctant, Anya eventually agreed.

At this moment, Rubygon suddenly roared in a low voice and looked towards the stone bridge that led to the Demon Sealing Palace. It was as if it was warning them of something.

When the three of them looked beyond the stone bridge, they vaguely saw that a group of people were actually approaching. At the same time, they heard that they were talking about something.

"Damn it. It seems to be Prince Enoch's team. They finally caught up," Rocky said and let out a frown. It was such bad timing that they caught up with Rocky's group when they were actually not fully prepared. "Come on. Let's hide somewhere first. We can't let them see us," Rocky remarked.

Immediately after, the three of them and Rubygon searched for a spot near the palace's entrance where they could hide.

Just as Rocky suspected, the group of people that approached the stone bridge were none other than Prince Enoch's team.

"Madam, is this the Demon Sealing Palace? It is so unique and strange in many ways! But of course, the important thing is that we have finally arrived!" Enoch was astounded by the place and sighed in awe upon seeing the Demon Sealing Palace from up close. Even he had never seen anything like it before.

"Yes. This is the place. It is where they sealed Phillip's soul. He used to be the leader of the demons in the Holy-Evil World. But because of the divine race, his reputation has been besmirched. He was set up by them so that he could not rule the Holy-Evil World. I can't take it that he will be sealed in here forever! We will free him so he can continue his legacy in this world!" answered the woman whom Enoch was talking to.

At this moment, Enoch's team had already crossed the stone bridge and arrived at the entrance of the Demon Sealing Palace.

Meanwhile, Rocky and the two other women were still hiding nearby. For now, they could only observe what Enoch and his team would do next. "Master, that woman in front is emitting an aura of a demon! Why is a demoness with them?" Anya's eyes widened as soon as she noticed the demoness.

"I see. We cannot afford to fight her head-on, especially that we don't know the extent of her strength. We should just observe for now. Besides, I have set up some traps around the Demon Sealing Palace that should be able to buy us some time. Our goal is to stall them until Prince Zain's team arrives. Once that happens, a fierce fight will definitely break out between them. Then, we will take that opportunity to make our move," Rocky explained. It seemed that he had quickly thought of a solution to their current problem.

Aside from the mysterious demoness, Enoch and his men were also very powerful. Even with the three of them and Rubygon, they would not be able to stop their entire team. Therefore, Rocky made the wiser choice to wait. Once his plan materialized and Zain's team came on time, they would have the chance to outsmart them.

Soon enough, the team led by Enoch halted in front of the Demon Sealing Palace under the demoness's orders. Then, she walked straight to the entrance of the palace. However, before she could enter, an army of martial spirits in armor suddenly emerged and instantly surrounded her.

"Humph! An army of martial spirits trying to stop me? Who do you think I am?" Even though she was caught off guard by the army of martial spirits, the demoness was not even fazed. Instead, she smiled disdainfully and instantly made her move. In a flash, streams of black air rose all over her body, enveloping her. Immediately after, she looked like a real demoness instead of a member of the Shura Race. Upon transforming, the demoness rushed into the army of martial spirits and fought them all by herself.

"We are a bit lucky! Maybe that army of martial spirits can hold her for a while!" Rocky did not expect that an army of martial spirits would actually launch a sneak attack on anyone that would approach the entrance of the Demon Sealing Palace.

However, much to his surprise, the demoness's strength was so amazing that she was able to annihilate the entire army of the martial spirits in less than fifteen minutes.

"She is that powerful? This is bad for us." Upon seeing the demoness's power up close, Rocky became frustrated, and he had a lot of doubts in mind. Logically, whether it was a member of the divine race or the demonic race from the Holy-Evil World, once one entered the Shura Continent, the law of heaven and earth would be violated. Therefore, the longer they stayed in the Shura Continent, the weaker they would become.

However, from what he saw, the demoness had obviously maintained the power that was far beyond creatures of the Shura Continent. Therefore, Rocky could not help but wonder how that happened. At the same time, he was worried that they were in a terrifying predicament. With her current strength, it seemed that no one in the entire Shura Continent could defeat her.000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
