Rocky named the diabolic beast after his former spiritual beast, Rubygon. It had fought with him side by side while he was still in his original world, and of course, he treasured it very much. Hence, the first time he saw the beast, he decided to name it after Rubygon.
"Wait. Where did it come from?" Valeria asked in surprise. There had been a lot of crazy things that were happening inside the Ghostly Demon Land, and this one was obviously also one of them.
"It's a long story! I promise I'll tell you about it later. However, we have a more pressing matter to deal with. We can't waste any time here. Let's go!" Rocky knew that time was not on their side. Once Enoch and the mysterious woman from the demonic race arrived at the Demon Sealing Palace before them, there would be some dire consequences.
Fortunately, Mikayla was able to send Rubygon to Rocky at the perfect timing. With the diabolic beast's strength, Rocky had a very reliable helper to easily confront any danger that would come their way.
Understanding what Rocky was talking about, Valeria immediately nodded and set aside her curiosity for now. Then, the two of them hopped on Rubygon's back. This way, their travel towards the Demon Sealing Palace would be much faster.
Meanwhile, in Enoch's camp, a high-level Spiritual Emperor walked into the prince's tent, carrying a golden slate.
At this time, the demoness was also inside the tent.
"Your Highness, we found some clues regarding the location of the Demon Sealing Palace!" The Spiritual Emperor was actually a bit excited since they finally found a clue that would lead them to their goal.
"Clues? What are they?" the demoness asked as her eyebrow raised.
Immediately after, the Spiritual Emperor handed the golden slate over to Enoch.
Upon looking at it, Enoch noticed that it contained various engraved patterns, which were similar to what could be seen in topographic maps. Then, he handed it over to the demoness and asked, "Look at this. Is this some sort of a map that will lead us to the Demon Sealing Palace?"
"Hmm. That is very possible. After the ancestors of the Shura Race sealed Phillip's soul, they lived near the palace for quite some time. This is to ensure that they could quickly act in case the soul causes any kind of turmoil. So, if my guess is right, that is a relic left by them. However, at a glance, you can already notice that it is incomplete. There should be other pieces of it nearby. Expand the area where you search to find other pieces of the map as soon as possible. If we can complete it, the location of the palace will be in our hands!" the demoness replied with a grin on her face. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the golden slate. At this point, she could feel that she was just a few steps behind before she could fulfill her ultimate goal.
On the other hand, Zain's team was actually in the same area as Enoch's team. Moreover, they also found a piece of golden slate, which was supposed to be a part of the topographic map. Assuming that it was a clue that could lead to the Demon Sealing Palace, Zain ordered his men to look for more golden slates that were scattered in the vicinity.
As for Layla's team, it had finally caught up and was approaching the area where the two teams currently were. But because of the incident with the transmission point, Layla still had not found all of her team members. That was why as they engaged with the obstacles inside the Ghostly Demon Land, they were at an apparent disadvantage.
Compared to the two other teams, it could be said that Layla's team had almost no chance of winning the competition. In fact, they would be pretty lucky if they could just survive the Ghostly Demon Land.
Meanwhile, with Rubygon's help, Rocky and Valeria proceeded smoothly in their journey. Then, three days later, they found a new area that astonished them to their core.
As they entered this area, what welcomed them was a huge building that looked like a divine temple. It was magnificent and very grand, with hundreds of steps towering to the sky.
Around this divine temple, there were also several folk buildings with distinctive exotic styles. If these were built by the ancestors of the Shura Race, they should be very skilled craftsmen.
