The Medallion

"What kind of miracle liquid is it? Why does it work so well?" Convinced of the healing efficacy of the liquid Rocky gave her, Marcia had eagerly turned to her spiritual power to rid herself of the poison in her blood. Meanwhile, Rocky engaged the lady in blue. Unbelievably, her wound got healed in such a short time. She even got a significant boost of spiritual power. She had expended so much on fighting the lady in blue that she would normally suffer fatigue for a considerable duration.

From time to time, Rocky would check on her recovery, pausing for a moment from his chit chat with the lady in blue. Just for showing up to help Marcia, he had taken a huge risk. Thank goodness, Marcia was one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, a highly respected position. Her heroics in battle too would earn her much more admiration. And Rocky, in saving Marcia would have the opportunity of Marcia admitting him into her school of discipleship.

So he would go all out for a chance even if it meant putting his life on the line.

Right now, he knew he was treading on dangerous ground as the wicked lady in blue was planning malice even as he tried to distract her with small talk. Not surprisingly, the moment the lady discovered he wouldn't divulge any meaningful information, she wanted to kill him. Out of nowhere, she threw him to the ground, ready to kill. The spiritual mark on her right arm was flashing bright with a lethal spiritual strike force.

'Beautiful General, can you be faster?' watching over Marcia, Rocky thought, beads of sweat breaking on his brow, desperately hoping for the girl's safety.

"Icy Dragon, go..." That very moment, a pretty silhouette flew past, interrupting him for a split second. Thankfully, when he looked up, it was Marcia, spreading out her arms. She had called forth two giant Icy Dragons, which charged to attack the lady in blue from the back.

The lady had not seen this coming from Marcia. By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late. The two giant Dragons descended on her like a bomb. Two streaks of blinding-bright rays radiated and exploded on her with such incredible power that Rocky knew she'd be blown to pieces. The other's spiritual power had gone to work almost immediately, but the damage was already done, leaving the lady in blue severely hurt.

"How is it possible?" Rolling on the ground, the lady looked at Marcia in disbelief. Marcia had recovered in such a short period of time. It suddenly struck the woman that the Marcia's miraculous recovery had something to do with Rocky. "Is that your trick?" she feebly asked, turning her gaze to Rocky. How on earth had he managed to resuscitate Marcia in such a short time?

Since she had expended half of her spiritual power in countering Marcia's Icy Dragons, the woman knew she was going to lose the battle. The only way out for her was to beat a hasty retreat, which she did promptly. With a hand waving gesture, the same rift that Rocky had seen before, appeared on her side. Then she disappeared, waging a threatening finger at Marcia and Rocky as

Although Rocky had saved her life, she knew better not to trust him so easily. What was his motive? In taking on the woman who had attacked Marcia, he knew it was risky. But he still went ahead and put his life on the line, buying time for Marcia to recover. Why would he do that to a
