The Medallion

Sensing that the situation was about to take a turn for the worst, Rocky took out a fake divine treasure to try and defend himself. But the relentless attack of the sand spurting out the ground made quick work of it, making the treasure's spiritual power drain.

"It seems that we are facing the legendary ghostly demon! So awesome!" Even though he was faced with a powerful opponent, Rocky couldn't help but let out a playful grin. He was caught blindsided by the sudden turn of events. Even with the God-killing Sword and a plethora of divine treasures at his disposal, he still found it hard to get rid of his opponent.

But no matter how amazed he was, he was well aware that one wrong step could spell his doom. He once again activated more divine treasures to block an incoming corrosive yellow sand.

As the black insect-nest-shaped object continued spurting yellow sand, the yellow sand constantly sprouted out the ground like an endless geyser. Before they knew it, the whole area was already knee-deep with sand.

With each second, Rocky's and Valeria's spiritual power dwindled as they fought against the corrosive sand storm.

Out of nowhere, a tentacle suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped itself around Valeria's ankle, instantly pulling her into a dark pit.

"Ouch!" Valeria let out a scream.

Fortunately, Rocky was agile enough to react almost instantly. He immediately grabbed her hand to prevent her from being pulled away further before quickly chopping off the tentacle with his sword.

"Be careful..." Rocky said gently as he pulled her up.

Valeria's heart skipped a beat and her face flushed red instantly. She quickly calmed herself down before asking Rocky, "What should we do now? It doesn't seem like the sands will stop coming out soon."
