The legendary warrior

Steve had fought a lot of creatures, but it was not until he had faced the power of eternal light did he truly fear for his life. Thus, he chose to surrender. Under other circumstances, admitting defeat would have been useless, and he would have died either way. Fortunately, the Shura Casket was present, and that made all the difference.

Just as Steve had expected, the Shura Casket's blood shadow instantly moved as soon as he had admitted defeat, and it immediately intervened. That indicated that the Shura Casket had been prepared to move even before he surrendered, which made sense, as it only wanted to find a helper. Ricky and Steve were both incredibly powerful geniuses, so, in its eyes, they were both assets who could help in the fight against the devil race in the future. It would not let either side die.

Therefore, the shura power abruptly stopped Ricky, and his terrifying move dissolved into the air.

"Oh, man! It looks like you can't kill him this time," remarked the Dragon Intent Grass with some disappointment.

"We have no choice. I can't go against the Shura Casket here,"

answered Ricky, who sounded just as bitter and disappointed as the Dragon Intent Grass.

At the same time, he turned to the Shura Casket and asked with a hopeful expression, "Sir, won't you reconsider? This can be a life-and-death battle between Steve and me."

"You may have some serious grudge against each other, but that is not my business anymore. In my opinion, you both have important roles to play in the future, and as such, I can't let you kill each other.

After all, I brought you here, so I'm somewhat responsible for the two of you," disagreed the Shura Casket.

"Of course, if Steve had won this battle, I would have done the same thing for you," it added. "I understand, sir!"

Ricky hesitantly nodded.

It looked like he needed to give up for today. The young man from the Phoenix tribe would have to die another day. "Ricky, I will keep what happened today in my mind. The Phoenix tribe will hunt you down as long as you live,"

Steve viciously said with his internal power once he managed to stabilize himself. "Don't make me laugh. You'll be the one to die once we see each other again!" declared Ricky spitefully in response.

"You do know that once Steve gets out of here, he might reveal your identity to others, right? That would be incredibly bad for you," reminded the Dragon Intent Grass.

Ricky frowned at this, sighed helplessly, and replied, "It's not like I have a choice. After all, I can't kill him here!"

Meanwhile, the Shura Casket had turned to Steve. "Since you have admitted defeat to Ricky, I'm going to send you out. I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened here," it warned the other man.

"Yes, sir. I won't!"
