The Medallion

Rocky found himself starring into a dark hall the moment he left the valley full of peach blossom. The doors were locked, barring anyone from entering inside, and the entire place was littered with bones of both human and beast alike.

"What the hell is this place?" Rocky said to himself aloud with a frown. He surveyed everything in his surrounding before finding a plaque hanging above his head. It read, "The Avici Palace".

"This place seems awful judging from its name alone!"

He once again gasped. While he was having second thoughts about entering the palace, the doors suddenly crept open, letting out a chilling gust of wind that sent shivers down Rocky's spine.

He immediately sensed the familiar aura of the Shura Race emanating from the palace.

After hesitating for a while, he finally willed himself to go inside. Wary of any dangers that might await him, he summoned his spiritual power to protect himself.

An insidious and powerful aura suddenly enveloped him as soon as he stepped inside. It came barreling into his consciousness, urging him to go crazy and run wild. Thankfully, his willpower was as strong as steel.

Meanwhile, Colton, who was searching for Rocky, was abruptly stopped by a figure from entering the gates of the Spiritual Divine Land.

He was taken aback by its sudden appearance, but upon closer look, he realized that the figure was the once great chief of the Di Clan, his grandfather, Jaiden who mysteriously disappeared for decades.

It took him a few moments to process what was happening. His grandfather looked like he hadn't aged a bit. It was as if he left just yesterday, but in truth he should be already a hundred and twenty years old by now.

"Grandfather?" he asked. His eyes teemed with excitement when he saw his grandfather, whom he thought disappeared when he was still a child.
