The Medallion novel Chapter 1807

Obviously, Drew had no idea what just happened. He never anticipated that his armor, which was actually his demonized skin, would be so frail and useless in front of Rocky's God-killing Sword.

While he started to lose consciousness, all he could do was staring at Rocky with regret and hatred in his heart. Eventually, he fell to the ground, lifeless.

Then, upon seeing that Drew was already dead, Rocky withdrew the God-killing Sword.

At the same time, as they witnessed how Rocky was able to kill a Godly Genius with a single powerful sword strike, both Jaiden and Colton were dumbfounded. They were so taken aback that they forgot to respond quickly on the scene. Finally, when they regained their senses after a moment, they flew into the battlefield, inspected Drew's corpse, and confirmed that he was indeed dead.

"I'm afraid I'll have to leave this mess up to you. We cannot risk alerting the other candidates by exposing his true identity as a Godly Genius of the Shura Race, for the time being, so you'll need to come up with a good excuse," Rocky said, looking at Colton with a serious expression.

"Yeah, I know that. However, I'm sure that people will still be suspicious of you." Colton knew that Rocky's enemies were not that stupid. Hence, he was worried that there was still a huge possibility that his identity might be revealed even if they covered this incident up.

"All they could do is be suspicious of me. After all, there is no evidence, so they can't accuse me of anything. Moreover, Drew's death will actually be favorable for the other Godly Geniuses. I don't think they will make a huge deal out of it," Rocky replied confidently, knowing how the selfish minds of the Godly Geniuses worked.

Seeing how confident Rocky was, Colton and Jaiden believed him and started thinking of what to say to the public afterward.

Eventually, Rocky left, leaving Colton and Jaiden on the stage.

Soon enough, the news that Drew was killed in the previous match already reached the ears of the other Godly Geniuses. Of course, they were all flabbergasted by the fact that a second Godly Genius died during this contest. Moreover, the mere fact that a Spiritual Emperor from the human race did it made it more mind-boggling.

However, even though they could not believe it, Drew's death actually came as a great relief to the other Godly Geniuses. It just meant that they had one less powerful enemy to deal with.

In fact, even Quentin, who had formed an alliance with Drew, did not feel any resentment upon knowing his death. Instead, he hurriedly went to speak with Gloria the moment he heard the news.

"I know you have already heard. Drew is dead, so there is only you and me now," Quentin said with a straight face, knowing that the situation would get even serious from here on.

"Well, if anything, I think it is good news. I did not like him because he had always been arrogant. I could only say that he deserved this fate!" Gloria was quick to express her true feelings, adding insult to injury.

"But more importantly, I never expected that two Godly Geniuses would die during this contest. It seems that we have underestimated the strength of the Spiritual Emperors from the human race and the spiritual race. In particular, that Basil turned out to be pretty powerful..." Quentin narrowed his eyes, deeming that Rocky was going to be a formidable opponent.

"Ha-ha! What's with that expression? Don't tell me you're afraid of him?" Gloria sneered at Quentin, mocking him for being so wary of a mere human.

"Ha! Are you kidding me? Why would I be afraid of him? If anything, I am eager to meet him on the battlefield. I want to know how capable he truly is!" Quentin immediately regained his arrogant self and answered with his chin held high.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I think that's exactly what Drew did. Maybe, it's better for you to just give up the fight when you face him. If you die in his hands, then it will be already too late to regret it!" Gloria gave a piece of advice while letting out a cunning smile.

"Humph! By the way, why the hell did he give up without even fighting you? If he's that strong, there is no need for him to forfeit the match. Was he really seduced by you? Or did he do it on purpose?" All of a sudden, Quentin stared at Gloria with inquisitive eyes upon remembering how Rocky immediately gave up even before the match between him and Gloria started. At first, everyone thought that Rocky was just simply bewitched by Gloria's alluring beauty, but now, it seemed that it wasn't the case.

"Well, I don't know either. Maybe he has really fallen for me, so he didn't have the heart to see me hurt." Although Gloria tried to sound so indifferent, she was also wondering what was running in on Rocky's mind. It was clear that he was not affected by her enchantment skill, and after what happened with Drew, she knew that she had underestimated Rocky's ability.

"Hey, do you think you can find an opportunity to assassinate him? He might turn out to be a big trouble if we don't take care of him right away!" Quentin said after thinking for a while.
