The Medallion

"Your Majesty, may Odin and I speak with you alone? We have some important matters to report to you," Layla suddenly said, wearing a serious expression on her face.

The king's eyes narrowed. Then, he waved his hand, gesturing to the elders, ministers, and guards to leave the hall as soon as possible.

Shortly after, only the king, Layla, and Rocky were left.

"What is it about?" the king asked directly.

"When we entered the Ghostly Demon Land this time, we encountered a member of the demonic race from the Holy-Evil World. However, she possessed a body of a member of the Shura Race, so she could enter the land without being noticed," Layla informed without further ado. Even in the Shura Race, the existence of the Holy-Evil World was only known among the members of the royal family. This was also the main reason why Layla requested to speak alone with the king. This matter was very confidential that even the ministers and elders could not know about it.

"What?! A member of the demonic race? Are you certain about this?" the king asked with his eyes wide open. In fact, a goddess from the Holy-Evil World was the one who arranged the trip to the Ghostly Demon Land. Hence, if a member of the demonic race was able to sneak in, then it really was a huge matter.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We are very certain. After all, the woman from the demonic race was colluding with Prince Enoch, and they had set up an ambush in the Demon Sealing Palace. Their purpose was to release Phillip's soul, so they tried to annihilate both my team and Zain's team," Layla uttered with hints of anger in her tone.

"Enoch? I can't believe this! He dared to break the rules of the royal family just to attain power!" The king's face immediately darkened in exasperation. Back then, the royal family had already fallen victim to the schemes of the demonic race, which led to the sad fate of the Shura Race. As a result, they were still experiencing the consequences from before. After that grim incident, it became taboo for the royal family to have any connections with the demonic race. Now that Enoch's collusion with the demonic race was exposed, it was a clear sign of rebellion against the Shura Race.

"This is the reason why Odin and I tried to come back as soon as possible. We know that this matter is not trivial, and it could lead to severe repercussions if nothing was done immediately. We reported this to you as soon as we can so that you can take necessary measures just in case something unexpected happens." Of course, Layla did not directly say that Enoch would try to rebel against the royal family, but the king could already guess what she was implying.

"So, he is planning to rebel and forcefully take over the Shura Race? I cannot believe this! What the hell is he thinking?" The king could just grit his teeth in disdain.

"I don't know what he will do next, but I do think that we should be prepared for what may happen." Enoch was still a member of the royal family, so Layla would not blatantly speak against him.

and Rocky exchanged glances. Originally, they also wanted to bring up that Rocky had already obtained the Purgatorial Tripod itself. However, after hearing what the king said, both of them felt that it was not the time to reveal it. It seemed that the king had other plans. Thus, if they told him about the

According to the rules that the king had set, since they were the first who came back with Phillip's power, he should have already declared that Layla would be the throne's successor.
