The Medallion novel Chapter 1003

After walking for a bit, Rocky saw two spirit-manipulated beasts at the fifth grade of the five-star level approaching him. They seemed to be a couple, with their necks intertwined and their temples rubbing against each other's.

Of course, Rocky didn't want to disturb the loving couple, so he and Ken quietly moved to the side. However, just as they evaded the two, another spirit-manipulated beast appeared out of nowhere and came charging towards them. It darted all the way like mad, leaving a cloud of dust in its trail.

Fortunately, Rocky reacted on time, and just narrowly dodged the angry beast. Rocky hated to think of what would've happened if they had collided. Shaking his head slightly, Rocky motioned for Ken to keep moving forward.

Both of them determinedly trudged forward, keeping an eye out for other spirit-manipulated beasts. Carefully, they made their way around stealthily, until they finally reached the edge of the flame mountain.

As they got closer, Rocky felt something strange. It seemed as though the mountain was emitting a strong spiritual power, but that something simultaneously was blocking it.

'The beauty didn't lie to me, ' Rocky thought to himself. 'The flame mountain should be the place where the spiritual treasure is hidden away, but I don't think things will be that simple.'

He immediately surveyed the side of the mountain, looking for an entrance. But after a long search, he found none.

As he scratched his chin, Rocky's gaze shifted from the foot of the mountain to its top. He saw that there were some sparse gashes in the air a hundred meters above the ground, like ventilation openings.

'It looks like I'm going to have to fly there, ' he thought to himself. However, if he wanted to fly at all, he would need to untie the state of invisibility first. It was incredibly risky, considering they were surrounded by spirit-manipulated beasts. They would be in immediate danger the second they let go of the invisibility.

Gritting his teeth in frustration, Rocky decided to circle the mountain once more. Finally, they reached a clearing where not many beasts roamed. Untying the state of invisibility, he rode on Ken and they soared into the air quickly, rushing to the nearest opening.

Just as they felt like they were going to make it, a huge shadow blotted out the sky. Rocky looked up to see a huge bird the size of a dragon. The bird flapped its massive wings fiercely, causing a strong wind to send Ken tumbling through the air.

"A Wind Shadow Roc at the six-star level!" Rocky cried. "Damn my luck today!" He didn't expect that he would be caught by such a strong beast.

The Wind Shadow Roc squawked menacingly and shot towards them. Its sheer size made it look as though it didn't give a damn about heaven or earth. As though that wasn't scary enough, it had a six star aura and an aggressive momentum. Ordinary spirit manipulators would've been scared out of their wits.
