The Medallion

"Silly girl! Don't say that. Of course, I will protect you. Otherwise, whom should I protect?" Rocky said with a shake of his head and a smile across his lips. Of course, he knew what was on her mind. Valeria must know that, if he was alone, he could easily break out of the encirclement of the bat-shaped ghostly demons.

His answer stunned Valeria, who didn't expect Rocky to utter something so sweet that it further deepened her love for him. She blushed and lowered her face for a few moments.

"Then what should we do now?" Valeria asked as she raised her head, her dazzling eyes narrowed.

"It appears I'll have to ask Rubygon to take you to the Demon Sealing Palace while I stay behind to cover you." Rocky began to think about it at once. They weren't too far away from the Demon Sealing Palace. Considering Rubygon's tremendous speed and strength, there was a good chance it could break through the siege of these ghostly demons if it rushed at them with all its might. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about Valeria. Without her by his side and somewhere safe, he could focus on dealing with the ghostly demons.

"No, I won't leave you behind. It's too risky for you to face them alone!" Valeria stubbornly protested, a frown on her face. She didn't want him to face danger by himself.

"Don't worry about me. I'll meet you soon!" Rocky said calmly. He then swiftly called out for Rubygon and instructed Valeria to mount it on its back.

"Protect her at all costs. Wait for me in front of the Demon Sealing Palace!" he ordered the beast.

Rubygon let out a roar, low but fierce, as it released a violent spiritual power from deep within. It formed its Spiritual Domain to protect Valeria from harm. Then, like a flash of lightning, it rushed out of the encirclement of the bat-shaped ghostly demons and towards the Demon Sealing Palace.

Naturally, like predators bent on slaughtering their prey, the bat-shaped ghostly demons wouldn't let Rubygon go so easily and immediately chased them.

Out of nowhere, a sharp sword emerged and swiftly cut into the group of ghostly demons.

Bang! A deafening sound reverberated all throughout as the spiritual power exploded among the bat-shaped ghostly demons, killing or injuring many of them. By then, Rubygon was already far away. Realizing they had lost their target, the bat-shaped ghostly demons immediately turned their attention to Rocky with covetous eyes.
