The Medallion

Two days passed in the twinkling of an eye. Rocky and Eunice had searched through numerous areas under Kohen's guidance, but they couldn't find any traces of the Army-blessing Scroll.

"Hey, little guy, can you find it or not?

I'm getting tired of all this searching!" complained Eunice.

She heaved Kohen upward and forced it to look into her eyes as she scowled at it grumpily.

Kohen stared back at her with an innocent, puppy-like expression that erased all the irritation she felt earlier.

"Oh, darn it! Don't look so sad. We'll find it soon," muttered Eunice.

She hesitantly patted Kohen on the head, trying to comfort it.

All of a sudden, the little pet abruptly straightened warily and hissed twice. It seemed like it had sensed something dangerous coming their way, as it glared fiercely toward the left of where Rocky and Eunice were standing.

Almost at the same time, Rocky also noticed the subtle shaking of the ground that grew stronger and stronger every second as if a huge monster was approaching.

"What's wrong, little guy?

Is something coming?"

Eunice asked Kohen, turning her confused gaze toward Rocky.

While Rocky and Eunice were looking at each other in bewilderment, an enormous shadow suddenly covered them. It stood at least ten meters tall, as high as a small mountain. Although they couldn't see clearly what it looked like, they could see the black spikes protruding from all over its body, which made it look like a gigantic hedgehog.

"Whoa! That thing is huge. Let's get out of here!"

Rocky was the first to react. He saw that they were at a disadvantage and immediately shouted a warning. He grabbed Eunice's waist and swiftly dragged her backward with him.
