The Medallion

Most of the people were surprised that Rocky would show up out of the blue. But instead of his usual aura of being the savior of the day, he appeared to be an evil monster that hated by most of the people present.

His appearance prompted an uproar from the crowd around him. Not long after, they pointed their fingers at Rocky and started to exchange their thoughts with each other about how much he had changed.

But Rocky just ignored the whispers around him. He focused his eyes on the figure in the red robe and said distantly, "Alston, you don't have to hide anymore. You're just waiting for me, aren't you?"

"Ha ha..." The figure in red suddenly burst into loud laughter upon hearing Rocky's words. He took off the hood that covered his face, instantly revealing his true identity in front of everyone present. Contrary to what people were expecting, his face was not from a spiritual race being but rather from just a normal human.

Seeing this, the crowd boiled up right away. At that moment, everyone's jaws were agape and had their eyes wide open as they could not find the right words to express their astonishment.

Every single person present was completely discombobulated after realizing that Alston, who had resurrected, had the strength and power to fight against the top masters of the Holy Dragon Empire—Bryant, Marcia, and several elders of the royal family.

The several strong masters had been well aware that Alston was still alive. Despite this, they still could not believe that it was real until they saw it with their own eyes.

"Alston!" Lena shouted in anger as she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"Since when did you have your human body?" Rocky questioned grimly. Shock crept Rocky's veins. Last time he saw Alston, he was still in the body of a fish monster from the spiritual race. But of course, the most important takeaway from the entire scenario was that Alston's strength seemed to have changed. Seeing Alston in this body, Rocky felt that he had obtained a more intense kind of power.

"Why? Are you saying that I can't have this body?" Alston laughed audaciously.

But this was not Rocky's immediate concern at that moment. In fact, he knew deep inside that Alston planned this all along. Rocky believed that Alston was trying to lure him out by stirring a commotion about the succession ceremony. Moreover, he thought that Alston came alone, without any backup, this time. If this were the case, then Alston would find it very difficult to single-handedly take away the Divine Spiritual Source from Rocky's possession. He believed that Alston also knew his own handicap, so he suspected that Alston might have other purposes for his unwanted presence.

"If you just want to get back at me because of our feud, we will find another place to settle it. It doesn't need to happen here. There is no need to hurt the innocent," Rocky said cautiously.
