The Medallion

"Were you able to trace the whereabouts of the other Godly Geniuses' guard teams?" Vivian asked.

"Not yet."

"It seems that someone is, indeed, plotting against us," Vivian declared with confidence. "Judging from the strength displayed by the Primitive Fief, I believe we won't be able to break in—even if we charged with full force."

"There's no need for that. I've figured out a way to break in on my own. The problem is that I can't bring Valeria with me," Rocky explained. The Earth-diving Skill enabled him to travel through various types of terrains without any hassle. Its only downside was that others couldn't tag along.

"Do you mean I'm dragging you down?" Valeria shot him a hostile glare upon hearing his words.

"That's not what I meant," Rocky shot her a wry grin back.

"It seems we'll need to figure out a way to get Valeria inside. But considering her injury, we can't force our way through yet," Vivian pointed out carefully.

"Perhaps we just have to distract the Primitive Fief so that they won't notice her when she enters," Rocky remarked. It seemed he had already come up with a plan.

"How can we do that?" Vivian and the rest looked to Rocky immediately.

"The Primitive Fief set up an enchanted barrier around the Nether Dragon King's lair. If we want to attract their attention, we can try breaking through it," Rocky explained as he shared his plan.

"It appears the enchanted barrier has been set up by a Spiritual Emperor at the premium stage. Even if you possessed the same strength, it will be quite challenging to break through it quickly," the Spiritual Emperor who was sent to collect information earlier pointed out.

"That won't be a problem if I summon the Potent Force Rune that Leader Gilbert gave me," Rocky assured the Spiritual Emperor.
