The Medallion

"It's a deal. We don't have to enter this place. After all, we have nothing to do here anyway. We just came here to stop the army of the spiritual race. But since we've already got what we want, we can leave right away. Our apologies for interrupting you, sir. Please let us go in peace," Rocky said respectfully. It was clear to him that it wasn't the right time to offend and pick a fight with this Emperor Realm spiritual beast.

Upon hearing this, the spiritual beast looked in the distance and said in a serious tone, "I hope you are telling the truth. The sacred forbidden area cannot be defiled at all costs. So, if you will not keep your promise, I'll be sure to kill you no matter what."

Although Rocky suspected that the relic being hidden there might have something to do with the Star Divine Race, he could not take any risk. No matter how eager he was to explore the place, he could not put the lives of his comrades in danger. Moreover, the important thing right now was to stop the plan of the spiritual race's army. Since it seemed that they had fulfilled their goal, he could still wait for another chance.

"Everyone, listen to me! Keep the formation as we retreat from the forest. Do not let your guard down," Rocky ordered at once. Although the spiritual beast gave its word to let the human army go, Rocky still strictly commanded everyone to be vigilant.

Then, Rocky's troops gradually left the lair of the spiritual beast and got out of the attacking range of the other spiritual beasts.

At the same time, Eunice rushed to Rocky's side and whispered, "Why are we leaving? This spiritual beast doesn't seem to be that powerful. We've got so many soldiers here. Why don't we take it down ourselves just in case the spiritual race succeeds?"

In front of the Emperor Realm spiritual beast, Rocky didn't dare to relax even for a moment. Thus, he glanced at Eunice and said, "It's not that simple. You can't underestimate that spiritual beast. If we don't have enough confidence to quickly bring down all the spiritual beasts that are guarding it, it will be impossible for us to succeed. Moreover, even I don't have the confidence to defeat it on my own. Once it fights back seriously, I can tell that its power will be enough to annihilate all of us. But at the same time, the spiritual beast is very smart. It knows that if it engages us, the spiritual race's army will take that chance to take action. That is why it chose to let us leave peacefully."

"Are you saying that it wanted us to leave so that it can focus and contain the spiritual race's army?" Eunice asked with narrowed eyes.

Rocky nodded and replied, "Yes. The beast's mission is to guard the deepest part of the primeval forest. If what it said about the sacred weapon is true, then my gut says that the spiritual race's army isn't really after the spiritual beast. They're here for the sacred weapon."

As the spiritual beast saw that Rocky already led his army to retreat from the forest, it looked up at the sky and heaved a sigh. "It seems that my mission here is about to come to an end. But in the meantime, I shall do my best to delay it further and keep the sacred weapon safe. However, just in case, maybe I can entrust it to that human commander. He has a certain aura that feels very familiar..."
