The Medallion novel Chapter 1401

Not far from the ruins, the old man with the medicine basket surfaced again and slowly took off his bamboo hat, revealing his wrinkled face. Even if Sabina and the other two women saw his current face, they might not be able to fully recognize him. However, once they knew his real identity, they would be utterly shocked but elated at the same time. This old man was the one who had sacrificed his own life just to defeat Wraith King Sebastian a while back—it was none other than Rocky.

At that moment, although he didn't show any visible expression on his face, it was rather hard for him to hide the surging emotions from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect to meet the three women in a country that was so far away from the Holy Dragon Empire. After his short encounter with them, his memories about the past became vivid once again.

"I wonder what Marcia and Isis are doing right now? The last time I heard, Nigel has already taken over the throne despite his young age. It must have been very hard for Isis…" Rocky couldn't help but sigh deeply. Even though he decided to stay away from them, the yearning in his heart was still making him suffer every passing day. Right now, he was just an ordinary doctor who was traveling around. He was no longer the reincarnation of Divine King Belial, nor Prince Crimson, nor the savior of the Wild Spirit Land.

Being far away from all the people that he loved, he felt very lonely and alone. His strong desire of seeing his loved ones was actually killing him softly. But he clearly knew that this was the exact moment that he needed to be stronger. He had lost all of his power, meaning that he would just be a huge burden to everyone if he chose to be around them. Although, he was aware that even in his current state, Isis and the others would still accept him for who he was.

Thus, after a moment of hesitation, Rocky put on his bamboo hat again and went on with his journey. For now, he planned on going to another town or country.

However, just after he took a few steps, a roaring noise resounded from the depths of the earth. Thunders rumbled; violent winds lashed out; dark clouds began to gather, and bolts of lightning raged from the sky as if something ominous was about to ensue.

"No! Are the calamity beasts about to free themselves from their shackles again?" Rocky felt a chill down his spine as his face wore a serious expression.

Just as Rocky had suspected, about a few days later, the calamity beasts suddenly reappeared in the Wild Spirit Land and caused devastating chaos. It had just been through a bloody disaster and the lives of the people were yet to go back to normal. But this time, without Rocky and the Divine Spiritual Source to save them, the Wild Spirit Land was in such a perilous situation.

Because this matter was of great importance, the Holy Dragon Empire had to gather the representatives of all countries in the name of the united empires to discuss what their countermeasures would be. At the same time, they had also invited the representatives of the spiritual race clans, hoping that they could cooperate with the humans to vanquish their common foes—the calamity beasts.

Surprisingly, the discussion went smoothly. Almost all the clans of the spiritual race expressed their enthusiastic collaboration with the humans. However, since there was no Divine Spiritual Source, dealing with the calamity beasts would be extremely difficult—nay impossible.

Despite this dreadful challenge, in order to prevent the Wild Spirit Land from falling into grave danger again, the united empires and the spiritual race reached a consensus to exert their best efforts to fight against the calamity beasts. For the first time in history, this would be the first real cooperation between the two sides. This time, they would join hands as equals.

Soon enough, an army, which was comprised of hundreds of thousands of troops from various countries and about two thousand masters from the spiritual race, was formed. It was further divided into nine squads that would simultaneously fight against the calamity beasts in order to prevent them from causing further destruction in the Wild Spirit Land.

However, it was clear to all humans and the members of the spiritual race that it was just an ideal situation if they could really beat the calamity beasts. None of them could actually match them in terms of strength even if they combined their powers. But even so, they still chose to fight for the sake of their land and the future generation.

It was a losing battle that they had no other choice but to put their lives on the line.

Then, the time came to confront the calamity beasts. In the fierce battle, the joint army of humans and the spiritual race suffered heavy casualties on the get-go. Some groups were almost completely annihilated just within a month when the war began.

Obviously, the Wild Spirit Land was hanging by a thread. In just a short while, both humans and the spiritual race would face their extinction if a miracle didn't persist.

Meanwhile, in a town that had been recently destroyed by a calamity beast, Rocky was there, trying his best to help by healing the injured ones. However, there were countless casualties that it seemed like his tireless efforts were still negligible.
