The Medallion

"Holy Lord?" Rocky exclaimed in surprise.

"I can't believe we're meeting again so soon. This encounter is happening earlier than I predicted," Holy Lord said calmly. From his tone and lack of surprise, it was evident that he had foreseen this.

"Why are you here?" Rocky asked. Bewilderment and curiosity were evident in his voice as he glanced at Holy Lord.

"As I belong to this world, it is only natural that you would find me here. You, on the contrary, shouldn't be here. But now that you are, it means you have inherited the full power of Divine King Belial. Otherwise, King Apollyon wouldn't have allowed you to come here." Holy Lord's observation was so accurate that it surprised Rocky.

Rocky didn't deny it, but his eyes conveyed the doubt coursing through him.

"Are you now wondering how I returned here after the spiritual race sealed the Divine Land? Since you can enter, it is natural that I can as well. No one is more familiar with this world than me. A mere seal of the spiritual race can't stop me," Holy Lord said proudly.

"I'm just a little surprised," Rocky admitted.

"You must have a lot of questions. Perhaps you're curious about how two worlds that originally did not interfere with each other came to be connected?" Holy Lord seemed to be able to read Rocky's mind.

"So, I've been right all along. The Divine Land and the Wild Spirit Land are two different worlds." A smirk tugged at the corner of Rocky's lips. Holy Lord's words were tantamount to confirming Rocky's previous assumptions.
