The Medallion

"That sounds amazing. Please, give it to me." Rocky's eye's glimmered with excitement.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the guardian waved his hand and a lotus-shaped lantern on the side of the palace flew towards him. There was a soft glow emanating from the lantern.

Rocky immediately reached out his hand and caught it. "How does it work?"

"Once you activate the lantern with your spiritual power, your demonic souls can materialize and move freely wherever the light reaches," the guardian explained. "What's more," he continued, "this lantern can absorb spiritual power. Once it reaches a certain level, it'll become a very powerful divine treasure."

Rocky nodded. Then, without dillydallying any further, he left the palace, lantern in hand.

"It's time to see what this thing is capable of!" The second he returned to the compass array, Rocky immediately activated the lantern with his spiritual power.

The lantern roared to life and hovered in the air like a bright beacon, its light covering a hundred meter radius.

Rocky willed his spiritual power to its fullest potential and the overflow of energy turned into light that enveloped his entire body.

Without missing a beat, Rocky then created three demonic souls.

Finally satisfied, Rocky and his three demonic souls rushed at the compass array, charging into battle.

As they approached, beast spirits emerged from within the array, hissing and growling at them. The second the four got close, they were met by some serious foes.

Despite the strength of these beast spirits, they were no match for Rocky and his three souls.
