The legendary warrior

"He's finally started!" Catching a glimpse of Ricky, Kayla let out a sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, she had treated Ricky as someone she could depend on as their journey reached deeper inside this dangerous Earth Fire Place. For others Ricky was just a newcomer at the sixth grade of Blood Purification. However, she and Theo knew his real strength very well.

"I'll tell you the same thing you told us before. This is your chance to stay out of my way. Just break your own arms and leave, It would be less painful for you that way!" Ricky said wickedly as he wiped the blood from the saber blade with two fingers.

"Who the hell are you?" Kent roared, his expression turning fierce.

"Who am I? Don't you know me?" Ricky replied tauntingly.

"Can't you see that you're like a siskin and I'm a hunter? Sooner or later, you'll be caught by me, so if I were you, I'd surrender quickly now!"

"Go to hell!" Kent shouted, enraged after hearing Ricky's words.

Suddenly, his body started to vibrate, and a magnificent golden halberd flew out from behind him.

The golden halberd gleamed with spiritual energy as it released blinding bursts of light. It seemed as though it could cut Ricky into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Clang!

As Kent grasped the golden halberd in his hands, a resounding sound was heard all throughout the cave, signaling the start of the duel.

'There's no way this halberd is just a weapon in the intermediate stage of the Mortal Level. It's too strong for that, ' Ricky thought to himself upon feeling the immense spiritual energy and strong killing power coming from the halberd.

"It seems like the rumors are true. You might actually be a casting genius," Kent said coldly, the arrogance evident in his tone. "But this is no ordinary halberd. This belongs to the advanced stage of Mortal Level and has been passed down in my family from generation to generation. The Golden Killing Halberd, they call it. Consider yourself lucky if you get killed by a weapon as glorious as this."

"You think that scares me? Wish yourself luck. You're going to need it," Ricky sneered.

Without missing a beat, Ricky attacked and changed his body quickly. The flames of fire engulfed the Iron Destroyer as Ricky pointed his own weapon towards Kent. At the same time, he raised his left fist to punch Kent's chest with all his might.

Even though Kent was not yet in the ninth grade of Blood Purification, Ricky knew that he was still a lot stronger than his brother Karl who was also in the eighth grade of Blood Purification.
