The Medallion novel Chapter 1118

"To be honest, I don't know myself either. I had this itching desire to save father ever since I heard that he was still alive. But he is not my actual father..." Rocky's feelings suddenly became a little contradictory after he heard the voice from the cave. In fact, as soon as they set foot in the Dragon Wing Valley, he immediately felt in his gut that this rescue was a little bit too reckless and not well thought of. Yet, he also felt as if something deep inside of him was driving him vigorously, making him feel that his thoughts were normal and reasonable because he was saving his father.

Meanwhile, the cave's wall suddenly began to shine like two bright lights. Soon after, a strong gaze was instantly fixed on Rocky.

"I think I know why... It's because your soul doesn't belong to your current body. Moreover, the soul that really belongs to the body is waking up, so your consciousness has been gradually affected..." The voice in the cave stopped speaking for a moment. After a short while, it then slowly explained Rocky the plausible reason.

"What? What do you mean? There's another soul in my body? Can it be..." Rocky's eyes widened in shock. All along, he thought that the real Basil was dead.

If what the voice inside the cave said was true, then that would mean that the real Basil was not dead, and his soul was still in this body. His soul had been in a deep sleep just because it was occupied by Rocky's soul.

"Do you often surpass your body's limits and use the power that your body can't bear?" the voice inquired.

Rocky's mouth turned into a frown as he nodded.

"Well, I think I know what's happening now. If you use power beyond your body's limits, it will not only hurt your body but also your soul. Perhaps you are not aware of this, but your soul has become incomplete. Thus, it will cause the other soul in your body to wake up. Moreover, the consciousness of the other soul will invisibly affect your thoughts, but you won't realize that it is the consciousness of another soul and not yours. As this happens, you would only think that it is your own thought. That can be the only reasonable explanation for your current situation." In this way, the voice successfully solved Rocky's doubts.

It could not be denied that it was hard for him to believe what he just heard, but it could also finally explain the strange situation that had happened to him. Was his consciousness really affected by Basil's soul that he would have the intense determination to save the emperor this time?

"Perhaps, you may find my words unbelievable to some extent, and I won't blame you for that. However, you have to believe that the power of the soul is very powerful. The spiritual race was once obsessed with souls' power, causing the extinction of the ancient species. So, young man, take care of yourself and don't use too much of your power, or you will surely regret one day! Be mindful!" the voice warned in a concerned manner.

"Well, since I'm already here, it will be such a waste if I don't at least try to save my father." Rocky smiled calmly as he finished speaking.

"I've seen that kind of temperament before. It's the same as my daughter's. I can still remember it clearly as if it happened just yesterday. At that time, she rushed into the Dead Valley at all costs to save me. You are both with loving devotion. But as a father, I know that your father will not be happy once he finds out that you are risking your life just to save him." The voice cracked slightly as it started to sound a little sentimental.

"So, sir, do you have any idea where my father is now?" Rocky asked with a severe look. After all, this was what he came for.

After a momentary silence, the voice broke the dead air and added, "I guess there's only one place he could be right now, the prison at the top."

"Okay, got it. Thank you!" As soon as Rocky heard the piece of vital information, he wasted no time and leaped into the air, flying all the way to the top.

Not long after, he reached the top cave and called, "Father..."

As soon as he called, an old trembling voice echoed from the left of the cave. "Basil... is that you? You're my son Basil, right?"

When Rocky heard the old voice, his eyes widened, thinking that he might have found his father. Immediately, he jumped into the air and flew over to where the sound was coming from. Amidst the dark night, he saw a very haggard figure hazily appear inside the cave. There, the figure sat cross-legged on the ground, like a piece of deadwood. Although the cave lacked an ample amount of light source, Rocky could vaguely recognize that this figure was the old emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire.
