The legendary warrior

"I didn't expect that I would end up having to kill myself," Grady said bitterly upon hearing Ricky's words. "I should have seen this coming."

"That's right. You deserve this," Ricky responded calmly.

"But don't celebrate yet, because, soon, you will end up just like me," Grady said threateningly, his eyes flashing cold and grey.

"Oh? Is that so?" A faint smile pulled at the corners of Ricky's lips as if Grady's words had amused him.

"My brother, Lundy, will avenge me!" Grady looked excessively confident as he declared this, but Ricky didn't look any less amused.

"Your brother will never know what happened between us. And even if he manages to find out, I will send him to his creator so that you two can reunite," Ricky retorted, flashing Grady a taunting smile.

"Will you?" Grady responded with a sneer.

"You'll find out soon enough. Take your life now!" Ricky said.

Grady was not a coward. Knowing that Ricky would not let him live, he destroyed his soul to end his life.

Once he was dead, he turned into his beast form—a Red Potentate Roc. Ricky absorbed his beast form into the Devourer Zone, which provided nourishment for his Blood Vitality Devouring Skill.

As soon as Grady took his last breath, Flint's last hope shattered into pieces. Tears poured down his cheeks, as he fell to his knees on the muddy swamp ground.

He turned to Edie with a pitiful look and cried,

"Edie, Winifred, we grew up together. Let me go this time for old time's sake. I swear I won't do it again.

And besides, we are all members of the Wind-Mountain Alliance, and we are related by blood. If I die, how will you explain it to our seniors?"

Flint begged desperately for his life, and Ricky could see that although Winifred was scowling at Flint, Edie seemed to be hesitating.

"Humph! When you turned your back on us and sold Edie's secret to our enemies, did you think that we are still your family? Did you feel sorry?" Winifred snorted coldly.
