The Medallion

"Oh, I know who he is! He is the useless prince! Why does he come here?"

"I don't know either. He doesn't even reach the third grade of the Mortal Stage. Why would it be him who goes up for the last round? Did the Holy Dragon Empire make a mistake?"

"Yeah, maybe you are right. How could he possibly compare with the phoenix spirit manipulators from the Magic Phoenix Empire? They can probably defeat him in the blink of an eye! Holy moly! He is just going to make this situation way uglier!"

"Look! He doesn't even bring his war beast! Does that mean he's trying to surrender right from the start? Or maybe he doesn't even have a war beast of his own? That's just embarrassing!"

People began murmuring among themselves.

Even the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was surprised to see Rocky coming up in the last round.

"Priest Dean, what happened? What's the reason behind this?" the emperor looked at Priest Dean and asked him with worry.

"Your Majesty, I shall explain everything later," Priest Dean whispered. Because Felicia was present at the area, Priest Dean didn't tell the emperor beforehand that Marcia requested for Rocky to join the contest. As he expected, the emperor was caught by surprise the moment he saw that Rocky was present.

The emperor could tell Priest Dean was caught in an awkward situation. To add to that, Felicia sat right next to him so the emperor decided to put a stop to the topic and merely nodded at Priest Dean instead.

"What is this piece of crap doing here? Does the whole Holy Dragon Empire run out of other spirit manipulators?" Alston whispered furiously.

But when Lena saw Rocky, she immediately had stars in her eyes. Of course, she didn't know that Rocky's presence in the contest was made possible by Marcia so she thought it was because Rocky fought for himself. It made her feel really happy for Rocky.

"Oh! Is he the royal spirit manipulator who acquired the dragon spiritual power from the Holy Dragon Bead? The players from the Holy Dragon Empire who came before don't seem to be the one who has fused with the Holy Dragon Bead. Could he be the one? But he looks so weak. The other players look way stronger than him," Erica questioned with a face full of doubt.

"Well..." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was tongue-tied and embarrassed after hearing Erica.
