The Medallion

Chapter 76 It Is Too Late

Rocky was not powerful enough to be Erica's opponent. Apparently, Mia had also lost to her before, so it was better to end the fight now. Otherwise, he would not be as lucky as before and might end up badly wounded, or worse, he might end up dead.

"Preceptor Felicia, what do you think?" Although the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire had already made up his mind, he still politely asked Felicia for her opinion.

"Since we have a clear victor, there is no need to continue the fight. I am afraid that my disciple may have been a bit too impetuous. Please forgive her," Felicia responded. Erica acted very rashly and impulsively, but she had defeated a spirit manipulator from the Holy Dragon Empire who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. Felicia did not feel an ounce of remorse for that fact. Needless to say, she wanted the fight to stop while they were still quite ahead. She was worried that the fight might lead to a worse end if it was not stopped now.

"Priest Dean..." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire turned to the priest beside him after getting Felicia's approval.

"I'm afraid it's too late now," Priest Dean said suddenly as he glumly stared at the fighting site. The situation had changed quite drastically while they were talking.

Hearing what the priest said, both Felicia and the emperor immediately turned their attention back on the fighting site and saw Erica coming up at Rocky. She appeared as if she was about to give him a deadly blow, swiftly closing the distance between them.

Everyone watching the scene was at the edge of their seats. Rocky would not be able to dodge the attack in time.

And it looked like he did not plan on dodging the attack.

"What the hell is he thinking? Does he want to die here?" Marcia in the crowd was confused by Rocky's behavior. She frowned as she rushed towards the fighting site.

"Get away, Basil!" Mia tried her best to stand up. She wanted to push Rocky away and block Erica's attack for him as a payment for saving her regardless of his own life.

Suddenly, two figures started rushing towards Rocky.

Erica gathered a strong Thunder spiritual power in her palm. As the Thunder spiritual power increased, its blue flames continued to flare up. The next second, Erica raised the gathered power that was strong enough to kill Rocky and launched it towards him.

Rocky then did something unexpected that shocked everyone. He rushed towards the much more powerful Erica and faced her attack head on. A glaring light burst out from the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's left arm. He raised his left arm and used it to block the palm.

Erica did not expect that Rocky would dare to rush towards her and block her attack. But she immediately smiled coldly as she realized that this made it easier for her to kill him. She then directly hit the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's left arm without any hesitation.

"Am I too late?" Marcia muttered as she arrived behind Rocky just when Erica had smacked Rocky. Although she was powerful, she had no time to block the Erica's attack.

"General Marcia..." Mia was surprised to see Marcia appear on the fighting site. She wondered why Marcia would suddenly show up, but decided that she had no time to think over it at the moment. She anxiously glanced at Rocky.

Erica was certain that even if Rocky was so powerful that he could not be killed, he could still definitely be badly damaged. However, to her surprise, the moment her palm hit Rocky's Dragon Spirit Mark,

light shrouded her entire hand. The spiritual power that she gathered in her palm began to vanish like a muddy ox entering the sea.

It was as if the power was being absorbed from her by something, to be more precise.

It was Rocky who was absorbing Erica's power. However, as he absorbed more power, his body began to get loaded down with too much of it. His face grew paler and paler as he started to lose control over the fierce power. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"The wages of sin is death! I will give back to you what you have just sent me!" Rocky's body had reached the threshold. He raised his right hand and aimed towards Erica who was still dumbfounded as to why Rocky was not harmed by her power.

Rocky let out a loud roar and Erica sensed that something was wrong. She could sense that a strong wave of power was in front of her and it was about to surge up towards her. It was too late for her to escape, as she was only a few steps away from Rocky.

In a blink of an eye, the same lightning that appeared in Erica's palm was now flickering on Rocky's right palm. The intense Thunder power that Rocky had been suppressing inside his body seemed to have found an outlet. It burst out and rushed towards Erica.

"This is impossible..." Erica's eyes widened in disbelief as she saw Rocky release the same Thunder spiritual power that she released. However, even at this very critical moment, she was still able to make herself calm down. She gathered all her spiritual power to block the attack as fast as she could.

The Thunder power Rocky released then eventually slammed into Erica like a blue laser. The power was so strong that it destroyed the spiritual power Erica gathered to protect herself. Because the power he released had been bonded with the power that he absorbed earlier, his attack was two times more powerful than Erica's. Even though Erica had gathered all her spiritual power, it was not enough to block Rocky's attack.

Erica screamed aloud as the strong power blew her into the air. However, she steadied herself using her power and gracefully landed on the ground. Her clothes had been torn by the intense impact, leaving her quite embarrassed.

In spite of all that, Rocky was not more powerful than her. The impact of the attack he released made him spout blood three times in a few seconds. He was not able to stand still anymore and eventually knelt to the ground on one knee, panting and out of breath, sweat dripping from his face. He looked as if he was in great pain.

"Damn it!" Erica exclaimed. The impact also left her bleeding. The power Rocky just released was coupled with the power that she released before. The combined power of the two was beyond what she was able to resist. She was not sure how Rocky did it. What she was sure of was that she felt a great shame. Wanting to redeem herself, she did not hesitate to rush towards Rocky once again.

"You want to fight me like that? Looks like you don't mind others appreciating your body," Rocky said, slyly smiling at Erica as he wiped away the blood on the corners of this mouth.

At Rocky's words, Erica glanced around at all the people and saw them staring lecherously at her body. She flew into a fit of range from the shame and humiliation.

"I will make you pay for this one day!" Erica vowed then immediately disappeared.

Being that Erica had left and Rocky was still standing on the fighting site, he was now technically the winner of the fight. He was wounded, yes, but he was still on the site nonetheless.

All of a sudden, the crowd on the square erupted into a loud round of cheers at Rocky's victory.

Felicia had never expected that her top disciple would be defeated by Rocky who was weaker than she was. A scowl gradually formed on her face. She abruptly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I

have something important to do. I have to leave now." She then immediately left, along with the other phoenix spirit manipulators.

'Ha-ha! The Magic Phoenix Empire really lost its face this time, '

the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire laughed to himself as he saw Felicia leave in such a haste. He then looked at Rocky on the fighting site.

People began chanting Rocky's name. He not only beat those new phoenix spirit manipulators by his own power, but he also defeated Erica who was a master at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. Although no one knew how he managed to do that, it was not important for them at the moment. What was important now was Rocky had proved to everyone in the entire Holy Dragon Empire that he was powerful.

"How? How did he defeat Erica?" Alston mulled. He reckoned that Erica was probably just not strong enough. He then left angrily after giving Rocky a pissed off look.
