The Medallion novel Chapter 1890

'Did he just call me Corey?' "Who are you?" Rocky eventually asked. Rocky could just guess that this man could sense Corey's aura from his body, so he had mistaken him for Corey.

"What are you talking about? Don't you remember me? What happened? Were you reincarnated already? Is that why you have lost your memory?" the pair of demonic eyes asked.

"I'm not Corey and he has not been reincarnated either. It's just that I have inherited his power," Rocky answered honestly.

"Oh, I see. Then that explains why you can't even deal with that weak demon," the demonic eyes said in a teasing tone.

"So, are you the one who saved me just now?" Rocky still asked although he was already quite sure about it.

"Well, I sensed Corey's aura from your body, so I thought that my old friend has finally come back. It seems that he is no longer living if someone already inherited his power," the demonic eyes remarked in a pretty arrogant tone.

"If I may ask, am I at the top floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower?" Rocky asked upon getting the opportunity. After all, if he was, he was already close to accomplishing the king's task and leaving.

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not. This is actually a separate space that Corey created in order to seal me off. But to tell you the truth, I did not expect that someone would be able to enter this space aside from Corey. Although you are not Corey's reincarnated body, I am still quite sure that you can destroy this space by using the power that you inherited from him."

"Sir, does it mean that you are the legendary demonic spirit that is sealed inside the Heavenly Demon Tower? Are you asking me to destroy this space so that I can release you?" Based on Rocky's experience earlier, he had accidentally released the king of the giant demon race by dissolving the enchanted barrier that kept him sealed. Now, he thought that this man with demonic eyes was tricking him into doing the same thing. Moreover, he could clearly tell that this man was more powerful than the king of the giant demon race. Hence, if Rocky mistakenly freed this demon, he could already imagine the dire consequences.

"No, of course not. I want you to destroy this space along with me..." Rocky was instantly dumbfounded, not expecting that this would be the response that he would hear.

"Sir, I think you are overestimating my strength. Just as you said earlier, I had a hard time dealing with the member of the giant demon race. Therefore, I can't imagine doing what you want me to," Rocky replied, letting out a bitter smile.

"Listen. Corey specifically built this tower in order to seal me and let my power gradually decline. It has been many years since then, and my power has already reached to the point that I can be easily vanquished. As long as this space is destroyed, I will disappear as well. You are Corey's successor, aren't you? It means that you have the ability to do that," the man with demonic eyes revealed.

"It sounds very convincing, but how do I know if you are telling the truth? I also inherited Corey's memories, but I haven't found anything about you in them." Apparently, while they were conversing, Rocky had been searching about this demon in Corey's memories. But in contrast to what he had been saying, Rocky did not find anything. It was either the demon was lying or all the memories regarding him was erased.

"Well, I'm guessing that he erased the part of his memory that contained my existence since he did not want anyone to know about it. After all, if someone learned about it, it will cause a great uproar, and the entire Shura Continent might get destroyed," the demon replied seriously.

"Sir, who exactly are you?" Rocky could not keep himself from asking anymore. The more he listened to the eyes' answer, the more he became confused.

"Me? I'm Phillip." the demon answered in a gloomy voice.

Of course, Rocky was shocked to his core when he heard this. All along, they thought that Phillip's soul was sealed in the Purgatorial Tripod. They even fought a life and death battle in the Ghostly Demon Land just to secure the tripod. But in the end, Corey had already moved his soul into the Heavenly Demon Tower. On the other hand, it was a brilliant strategy from Corey. After all, the demonic race had no idea that even if they acquired the Purgatorial Tripod, they would not be able to free Phillip's soul.

"So, are you saying that King Corey deceive the demonic race and brought you out of the Demon Sealing Palace a long time ago?" Rocky asked after figuring out what might have possibly happened.
