The Medallion novel Chapter 1886

"Fine! If you really don't have any intention of surrendering the Purgatorial Tripod, you need to prove that you have sufficient strength to protect it," the king said after thinking for a while. At this moment, he was already worried about Enoch's rebellion. Hence, he deemed that he could not make an enemy of Rocky, which might cause Layla to rise in revolt, too. If that happened, the royal family would no longer be able to stand on its own. Therefore, instead of urging Rocky to return the tripod, he thought of giving the young man a chance.

"What do you want me to do to prove it, Your Majesty?" Rocky asked, slightly letting out a frown. Of course, he knew that the king would not give him an easy task if he was willing to compromise.

Then, the king paused for a while and said, "Enter the Heavenly Demon Tower. If you can overcome the tower, then I will allow you to guard the Purgatorial Tripod."

"The Heavenly Demon Tower?" Rocky repeated, narrowing his eyes. He had been in the Shura Race for a long time, but it was his first time hearing about it. However, he was certain that the information about the Heavenly Demon Tower should be stored somewhere in King Corey's memory.

The expressions on Layla's and the royal members' faces also changed. It seemed that they all knew about the tower.

In fact, the Heavenly Demon Tower was not an ordinary place. It was a forbidden area within the royal family, and one could only enter it with the king's permission.

In the Heavenly Demon Tower, the spirit of a demon that once caused chaos in the Shura Race was sealed. Moreover, it was also home to powerful martial spirits, who had followed the demonic race in the past. It was said that every one of them was above the Shura Realm.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Demon Tower was a good place to cultivate, especially for Shura Realm masters, since it was located above a spiritual cave. Furthermore, if one had enough strength, they could take the chance to refine the martial spirits in the tower and cultivate their soul.

Among the royal family, the only ones that could enter the Heavenly Demon Tower were the king, some elders, and the extremely powerful Shura Realm masters that were acknowledged by the king.

For the king to ask Rocky to do this task, almost everyone else in the hall thought that he was deliberately sending the young man to his death. After all, they did not know that Rocky's strength had already reached the Shura Realm.

"All right then. I will do it," Rocky agreed immediately.

"Odin, think about it first. I know the Heavenly Demon Tower, and it will not be easy to come out of it safe and sound," Layla warned. Then, she turned to the king and said, "Your Majesty, I think your condition is too harsh."

"Harsh? He is the one who insists on protecting the Purgatorial Tripod instead of handing it over to me. If he doesn't even have the strength to get past the Heavenly Demon Tower, how can he protect it then?" the king retorted.

"It's okay, Layla. As long as His Majesty will let me guard the Purgatorial Tripod, I won't refuse to take whatever kind of test it is," Rocky said with confidence.

"I see. You are indeed a brave young man. Then, I will give you enough time to prepare. You shall enter the Heavenly Demon Tower tomorrow!" the king declared.

"I don't need any preparations. I can do it now. The sooner I start, the sooner I can finish, right?" Of course, Rocky's indifferent words surprised everyone.

The royal members present looked at each other and thought that Rocky was being too conceited. They could not help but think that if Rocky had that attitude when he entered the tower, he would end up dead.

"I can permit you to go now. Are you sure about that?" The king was also surprised that he would get this kind of response from Rocky. But if the young man insisted, he would not prevent him from doing so.

"Yes, I want to do it right away," Rocky answered firmly.

"Fine. Come with me." Without further ado, the king stood up from the throne and left the hall.

At the same time, Rocky, Layla, and the other members of the royal family also followed the king.

As they followed the king, they eventually saw a milky white seven-floor tower at the end of a road within the Royal Land.
