The Medallion novel Chapter 145

At that point, Thor and Joss had already returned. Obviously, there weren't any other wounded left. All the villagers had died.

"Captain, what just happened here?" Thor and Joss asked as their faces turned pale.

Rocky's eyes turned cold the moment he sensed an aura of power equivalent to that of a spirit manipulator beyond the Earthly Stage from beneath the ground. However, Rocky was certain that it wasn't a spirit manipulator.

"It must be a spirit-manipulated beast... It seems that a wild spirit-manipulated beast attacked the village," Rocky said with utter certainty.

All of a sudden, sand and stones splashed with a bang in the middle of the village. Something was about to rise from beneath the ground. The ground was trembling as the intense aura grew stronger that it was getting hard not to notice.

"It's coming!" Rocky said as he tried to stay sharp.

Bang!

After another deafening noise, a giant figure abruptly rushed out from the ground. It incessantly flapped its two iron wings as it produced gusts of sandstorms. The sand and stones thrown in the air almost blocked everyone's vision.

Startled by the unexpected giant figure, Thor and Joss turned pale in an instant. Apart from them, the spirit manipulators who were on standby out of the village were all stunned by what they just witnessed.

Rocky was the only one who remained calm.

"It must be at least a three-star wild spirit-manipulated beast at the second grade. I could sense that its aura's definitely stronger than Uriah's. Its power is equivalent to a spirit manipulator at the fifth grade of the Earthly Stage. I guess it must be a war beast," Rocky analyzed with his sober mind.

The giant wild spirit-manipulated beast had two heads as if it was wearing a pair of helmets. With its body covered in black, it looked terrifyingly ferocious. It was in the shape of a big beetle with six vigorous and forcible legs that seemed like thin pillars. Its cyan big eyes were fiercely glaring at the three of them.

All at once, as if it was attracted by something, the wild spirit-manipulated beast roared and ran towards them.

"You two should take the villager to the other spirit manipulators and return to the northeast military camp as soon as possible to inform Commander Marin about the current situation here. Ask her to send people here for support." Rocky gave orders to Thor and Joss.

"Captain, what about you? We shouldn't leave you here by yourself," Thor asked while looking at Rocky.

"We have already disturbed it. Do you understand? I've been spotted so I have to distract it and buy as much time as I could," Rocky replied.

"That's too dangerous!" Joss cried out.

"Spare me the lecture. That is an order. Go now!" Rocky shouted as he noticed that the armored spirit-manipulated beast was approaching.

After glancing at each other, Thor and Joss had no other choice but to follow his orders. They carried the injured villager to meet the spirit manipulators out of the village and headed straight to the northeast military camp together while escorting the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border. They travelled as fast as they could until they finally arrived.

As for Rocky who was faced with the dash of the armored spirit-manipulated beast, he rapidly retreated with Uriah.

However, it stopped at the place where Rocky saved the wounded villager. It shook its two iron heads and searched for something on the ground as if it was foraging.

Seeing its weird behavior, Rocky was confused. Thus, he stood there to watch the armored spirit-manipulated beast's movements very carefully.

At that moment, the armored spirit-manipulated beast made an awful scream in excitement. It seemed that it had found something. After that, one of its iron heads stuck out its lathy tongue to lick the ground.

Rocky fixed his eyes on the place where the armored spirit-manipulated beast licked. He noticed about half a drop of sparkling liquid.

"The magical saliva?" Rocky was stunned. He thought back and realized that the half drop of magical saliva was sprinkled negligently just now. The armored spirit-manipulated beast was fairly interested in it.

After it enjoyed the half drop of the magical saliva, its cyan eyes looked around until they finally rested on Rocky. The armored spirit-manipulated beast opened its small nostrils and roared ferociously. All of a sudden, it flapped its two iron wings and ran towards Rocky like the wind.

Seeing that, Rocky was well aware that things were about to get pretty hot. The armored spirit-manipulated beast must have gotten the scent of the magical saliva from him.

"Uriah, go!" Rocky called Uriah. The urgent task on hand was for him to lure the powerful armored spirit-manipulated beast away from other people. In the sphere of the northeast military camp's jurisdiction, once a wild spirit-manipulated beast appeared, a team of spirit manipulators would be sent to drive it away or kill it. Therefore, instead of walking away, Rocky must wait for the support from the northeast military camp.
