The Medallion novel Chapter 325

As Rocky walked closer to Marin's tent, a giant creature flew over his head and cast him under its enormous shadow. The silver scales over its body glinted gloriously under the sun. A closer look at it revealed the silhouette of the breeze that blew against the creature. It painted an intimidating but wondrous picture for all to see.

The soldiers who had been busy packing previously left their tasks and gawked unabashedly at the glorious beast. Work in the northeast military camp came to a halt as everyone's attention was taken by the creature.

Their eyes followed it in its magnificent flight until the giant creature slowly landed on the open field. It gave out a deafening roar as if it enjoyed everyone's attention.

"Is this..." Rocky scrutinized the creature. It looked awfully familiar to him but he struggled to remember where he had seen it. "Silver Wind!" Rocky exclaimed as he finally remembered from where he had encountered the majestic creature. This was Isis' spirit-manipulated beast named Silver Wind.

"This war dragon should be at the fourth grade of the four-star level," Rocky remarked. He had deduced this when he observed Silver Wind's body characters and the aura around it.

Isis had named it Silver Wind, but this war dragon's formal name was Celerity Wind Dragon. The top ones of this kind could reach the five-star level. Although Isis' Celerity Wind Dragon was only a four-star one, it was still a rare spirit-manipulated beast if we considered that superior races like dragons were few and far between.

Despite the fact that the Celerity Wind Dragon was officially categorized as a war dragon, the Beast Encyclopedia revealed that it was a descendant, and thus, a crossbreed of both spiritual dragon and war dragon. In this way, the Celerity Wind Dragon was substantially more powerful than ordinary war dragons with its inherent special power that came from its spiritual dragon lineage.

Rocky was snapped away from his thoughts as a slender figure jumped down from Silver Wind. She moved with grace and poise that captivated the soldiers' eyes. This charming figure was none other than Isis.

Rocky's heart thumped fast as he met Isis' beautiful eyes. A strong sense of foreboding spread in his chest. He looked away from Isis in discomfort, and convinced himself that her appearance meant trouble in the horizon.

As Isis walked towards Rocky, uproar broke out among the soldiers who had gathered around. They all stared, slack jawed as they wondered, 'What could the Deputy Commander in Chief want from Rocky?' At the same time, they were jealous of Rocky who had the chance to rub elbows with a beauty like Isis.

"What a coincidence, Deputy Commander in Chief! I didn't think that I would run into you here, ha-ha!" Rocky laughed awkwardly. Now that he had no way to avoid Isis, he had to force himself and faced her directly.

"It's not a coincidence. I'm here to see you." Isis told Rocky directly. Her business-like manner showed in her posture and tone of voice.

"You are here to see me?" Rocky's eyes widened in panic. It seemed that the foreshadowing he felt earlier was right on the money.

"Deputy Commander in Chief!" Marin greeted Isis warmly as she came out of her tent. Rocky almost forgot that they were standing right in front of her tent.

"Commander Marin, can I borrow your tent for a while?" Marin glanced at Rocky, and then turned a questioning gaze at Isis.

They seemed to talk without words, which ended when Marin nodded her permission to Isis.

Rocky could tell from the duo's body language that Marin knew what Isis was here for. They must have planned it while he was away or possibly earlier.

"Let's go inside." Isis instructed to Rocky before she left them and entered Marin's tent first.

Rocky glanced at Marin and waited for her to say something. When she didn't, he turned away and followed Isis into the tent.
