The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1264

"Yes. However, I don't know much about them," the Dragon Intent Grass replied, its voice morose.

"What? What do you mean you don't know much about them? Are you planning to stay in this Land of Thorn with me for as long as you live?" Ricky asked, visibly frustrated.

'It is always of no use when I need its help. What is the point of the grass being here, then?' he thought to himself.

"Those Rotten Thorn Men are already dead. How are you going to kill them?" the Dragon Intent Grass remarked.

"Is that all you know about them?" Ricky asked, disappointed.

"Yes, that's all I know about them," the Dragon Intent Grass responded.

"I'm not surprised to hear that. I know you can't give me any more useful information about them," Ricky said, an edge in his voice.

Although he was very frustrated with the Dragon Intent Grass, he still valued its advice. He just wanted to know what to do.

When he used the Devourer Zone to extract the powers in the blood-colored light, he was thinking about what it told him.

"So these Rotten Thorn men are already dead..." Ricky murmured to himself. "That means it's impossible to kill them because they're already dead in the first place.

No matter how many times we try to bring them down, they will always come back."

Ricky now understood what the Dragon Intent Grass meant.

If one possessed enough power, he could terminate any living being.

The Rotten Thorn Men had very little psychic intelligence and powers. However, they were already dead. No amount of strength could kill them further.

'It seems that it's not a problem of strength. The problem is that the Rotten Thorn Men are undead beings. Pelting them with attacks is useless. What we need to do is destroy the light. It seems that it is to them what hearts are to us. That's the only way to get rid of them for good.'

Ricky got excited by this realization.

After finding out how to destroy the Rotten Thorn Men, he focused on studying the blood-colored light.

With the help of the Devourer Zone and the Devouring Skill, Ricky finally discovered all of the powers in the blood-colored light. He had spent four days working on it, and he was glad that he was able to learn more.

He found that the death power was the light's main power.

He had also spotted many dark powers such as the gloomy, bloody, and evil spirit powers.

He even saw the power of life in it.

Much to his surprise, the erosive, blood-colored light could carry the power of life. He was even more curious because the power of life that he found was pure and primitive.

The power of life inside the blood-colored light was even purer and more primitive than the one in the Life and Death River of his Life and Death Zone.

Before this day, Ricky had thought that there was no vitality in the world as pure as the vitality in that Life and Death River of his Life and Death Zone. It was not the purest in the world, but it was purer than most others that he had encountered.

However, he now knew that he was wrong. The vitality in the blood-colored light was better than that in the Life and Death River.

"This is amazing!" Ricky exclaimed.

'If I absorb the life power inside the blood-colored light, I will have a deeper understanding of the Life and Death Zone. However, the speed of the blood-colored lighting invading my body is faster than the speed of the Devourer Zone devouring it. Drawing the life power from it will be difficult,' he thought to himself.

It was indeed a precarious situation.

'The death power and the dark powers are definitely not what scare the Rotten Thorn Men. So the only thing in the light that frightens them is the pure and primitive power of life,' Ricky thought.

'This could only mean one thing: life is the natural enemy of death. Just like my Life and Death Zone, life and death can change from one to the other, and they can restrain each other as well.

I now know how to deal with these Rotten Thorn Man.'

At once, Ricky opened his eyes.

"I think I know what we have to do," he said right away.

Upon hearing this, Mordechai, Hayes, and Ashley all opened their eyes. They looked at Ricky expectantly. "What is it? What do you need us to do?" Mordechai asked immediately.

At this point, Mordechai and the others were open to anything Ricky could come up with. After all, they couldn't think of any plan to bring the Rotten Thorn Men down.

"You don't need to do anything. Just stay here. I will destroy the Rotten Thorn Men," Ricky said, puffing out his chest.

He stood up quickly.

As soon as he was upright, he burst out the Devouring Mutant.

He also unleashed the other powers that surrounded him.

In the blink of an eye, his hair had turned white as snow. The Devourer Zone suddenly appeared behind him. Ricky clapped his hands, and the Devourer Zone transformed into an Omnipotent Skill—the Evil Devouring Mouth.

The Evil Devouring Mouth opened up and swallowed the blood-colored light around them.

"Ricky, what are you doing?" Mordechai, Hayes, and Ashley all looked at Ricky like he was crazy. They were worried about how he was devouring the blood-colored light.

'Even though Ricky has the Devouring Mutant, he might get hurt if he tries to absorb so much of the blood-colored light,' they thought to themselves.

"I'm doing this to take care of the Rotten Thorn Men. We are not a match for them the way that we are. I have to borrow the blood-colored light's power," Ricky replied.

"Brat, it looks like you are trying to play hero," the Dragon Intent Grass said. However, its voice contained a hint of admiration.

"I don't have a choice. None of them have the Devourer Zone. I'm the only one who can utilize so much blood-colored light's power," Ricky responded.

Although he had come up with the idea, they still lacked power to slay the Rotten Thorn Men.

So Ricky decided to borrow the power of the blood-colored light to help them.

However, there was too much death and dark powers floating inside the blood-colored light.

Even though he used the Life and Death Zone to devour the dark powers and the Life and Death Zone to suppress the death power, the powers still invaded his body, threatening to take over his very soul.

Time passed by. Ricky's skin and hair slowly turned blood dark.

The death and dark powers permeated his mind, and he had fallen into a state of complete madness and killing.

His will and body tried their hardest to resist the dark powers inside the blood-colored light.

He was suffering a lot of pain both physically and mentally.

Mordechai and the others knew what he was going through. It pained them to see him like this. There was nothing but admiration in their eyes.

They knew that Ricky was doing this for them.

Ashley no longer resented Ricky. All she had for him was respect. She wished that he would make it through.

At that moment, Ricky had become their hero.

A hero not only possessed great strength and talent, but he was also just. He was willing to sacrifice himself to help others.

Ricky was everything that a hero was.

A coward could never become a hero. Ricky would share with them his solution, but he would never disclose the risks it posed to him. He always did what was right, even if it was tough.

Raylan was baffled. He did not know how to feel about Ricky's actions.

He believed that Ricky knew he wanted him dead, but he was still trying to save him.

When he had asked Ashley for help, he knew that Ricky knew it was him seeking assistance.

Ricky had still come to their rescue regardless of their conflicts.

Raylan was not an evil person. He knew that he owed Ricky his life, and he knew he should be kind to those who were kind to him.

In those moments, he was overtaken by guilt.
