The legendary warrior novel Chapter 115

Unaware that their lives had already been in danger, Ricky, Bertha and Elder Samuel was heard discussing the secret of casting in their most distinct voices. No one realized the impending peril ahead.

Elder Samuel and Bertha felt secure for being bold and outspoken for they had been living a peaceful life and had not made any enemies in their existence.

Ricky was the only one brave enough to face the emulator due to Elder Samuel's presence. The whole world knew that the gruesome killing mission of assassinating a demi-immortal could only be done by several gallants bearing the same skill as Ricky himself or even by a more valorous innate spirit.

Shortly, Elder Samuel noticed something peculiar. Without a second thought, he warned Ricky and Bertha to be cautious and guarded as he had already deployed his Snow Vulture to position in the woods.

"Chirp, chirp!" A sound of birds chirping was heard.

Shortly after arriving, the sound of fluttering birds was heard in midair. A pair of two large dark birds of prey plummeted from the sky towards them.

The pair of horrific-feathered creatures as dark and hard as rock, were bearing an eerie spine-chilling coldness.

"Black Vicious Pengornis. I knew it is you." Ricky breathed, "A feathered creature that was as strong and daunting as the warriors at their intermediate stage of Bone Reinforcement!" Ricky finally said in his strong voice. Ricky was familiar with the beast by heart. It was a monster lurking in the most abominable environment, blood sucking and ruthless.

"Trouble is approaching! Here comes the Black Vicious Pengornis!" a voice from the crowd was heard. With the beastly flying creature plummeting towards them, Bertha growled, "Who in the name of the devil would try to kill us and do such atrocious thing!"

Elder Samuel was just in a corner standing still. In his somber mood and not uttering a single word. He knew then that their lives were in impending peril.

"Bertha, can you tell me what is really happening?" Ricky asked with eagerness to know everything in his tone.

"In the Realm of Wildness, there's a group of people called the Endless Shadow, an extremely petrifying organization of murderers." Bertha said, "In Realm of Wildness, as long as you could afford the price for employing them to commit a murder, they would put themselves out of the way to do it for you.

The troop even showed no fear of murdering casting masters of Spirit Level at the Casting Guild, for they were equipped with successful experience and they were willing to fight again.

They would pledge their lives to every task given. Their loyalty was incomparable. Once they took a mission, they would follow the target until they got what they want. They would come out of nowhere even when you were not expecting it.

Thus this was as to why they were called Endless Shadow.

The Black Vicious Pengornis was exactly the beast that assassins of Endless Shadow rode on!"

"What an inhumane and grim group of murderers!" Bertha exclaimed. As soon as hearing this terrifying words from Bertha, Ricky realized the gravity of the situation and breathed heavily.

"Bertha, their evil behaviors must have been provoked from the unforeseen forces in the Realm of Wildness. I was trying to fathom why all these forces hadn't formed an alliance to eliminate them from this world." Ricky puzzled. With his best, he tried to understand the current situation.

"All these years no one was able to quest out their nest. Even the killers had no clue of where to find Endless Shadow!" Bertha responded with exasperation.

"What's more, for each force in Realm of Wildness, Endless Shadow proved to be advantageous and convenient so they didn't have to bother to wipe it out. Otherwise, who else could be employed to help them easily get those shameful businesses done?"

"I understand. Let's put our heads together on this." Ricky nodded, agreeing to their conversation.

Suddenly, two Black Vicious Pengornis was seen from the clouds towards them.

Slowly, the two beasts landed. Three men in black came down from them.

These men were wearing black robes, only showing their pair of eyes. They were armored with a sword on their waists.

They could greatly feel the power of these three black armed men and could easily tell their identity. They were a demi-immortal, a warrior at the peak of Blood Purification, and a warrior of the advanced stage of Blood Purification respectively. They smelt danger just at the sight of these three men.

"Good fellows! How dare you sneak up on us and even try to kill us, the Elder and disciples of the Snow Sect!" Elder Samuel snorted with disgust watching the men coming down from the creature.

"We follow orders with just the amount of silver we will get and what their valuables are worth. We live by this rule." "So, as long as the money fall into our lap, we Endless Shadow will spare no effort to complete our task," the killer of demi-immortal said with prevailing voice.

"Yes, I see your point. But I was afraid it was a bit ridiculous that you have been assuming to get us killed, with just a demi-immortal like you!" Elder Samuel said coldly but forcefully.

"We hate to disappoint you, but the order we received today was not to get rid of you but him!" The demi-immortal growled, his direct and piercing eyes were all drawn toward Ricky.

"So I see they are aiming to get me killed. Does it have something to do with Casting Faction or Refinement Faction?" Ricky said to himself, "Or, it was about Nate."

"This is not possible! How can this be!" Elder Samuel said icily. He broke his silence and could not contain his confusion.

"Why is this Impossible? You are a demi-immortal of the Snow Sect, so what? In this very Realm of Wildness, everything is possible. We have never missed on someone we have been ordered to kill," The warrior of demi-immortal said, firm and ruthless.

"Go on and attack!" Elder Samuel fumed.

"We take care of this old fellow and the woman. You handle the man we want. Do it quickly to get it over with!" The demi-immortal hastily reprimanded to another one at the advanced stage of Blood Purification.

"No problem!"

The demi-immortal and the warrior at the peak of Blood Purification took out their swords and aimed at Elder Samuel and Bertha. It was apparent that their target was to stall Elder Samuel and Bertha.

"Ricky, stay behind me! I will protect you!" Elder Samuel yelled at Ricky frantically.

In his mind he had to protect Ricky at all cost. It was him who brought Ricky out. If anything should happen to Ricky, he would put himself to a lifetime of embarrassment even Zenith and other Elders would not hold him accountable.

"Elder Samuel, I am prepared for this. I am no longer a weakling. It is time you stop treating me like a child and let me test the waters," Ricky taunted with a faint smile.

Right after this was said, Ricky began a direct attack against the killer. An attack at the advanced stage of Blood Purification.

"You think you can beat me? You are too proud of yourself!" How can a beginner like you challenge me in the advanced stage of Blood Purification?!" Ricky's taunting irritated the killer at the advanced stage of Blood Purification.

In the presence of the Endless Shadow, fear and terror crept into those who were to be murdered. Things had changed however. This was the very first time that Endless Shadow was challenged. They could never remain calm and undisturbed.

"Kill him!" The killer at the advanced stage of Blood Purification took out his sword from around his waist, not wasting his spiritual energy and sword-light, not losing his target and aiming at Ricky.

'I recognized that. It's a sword-light! It has been used by warriors from the Endless Shadow! It appears all these fellows in Endless Shadow are of no ordinary talent and are not a pushover, ' Ricky thought to himself. He had watched another two killers fight against Elder Samuel and Bertha with the help of Light Apperception.

To become a real killer, one had to fulfill the greatest epic performance among his troops.

"It has been a while the last time I was in a battle since I returned from the Blizzard Cliff. Let me show you how strong my Iron Destroyer is now!" Ricky drew out his Iron Destroyer in an instant.

Thud! A loud sound lingered in the scene.

Iron Destroyer's blade slashed, making a loud, fierce and frightening noise. The entanglement of the sword-light and the saber-light produced a violent noise tearing apart everything it hit.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The two weapons exchanged clanks.

Both were unstoppable. Energy blasted from the collision of the swords were all over the place. They were soon forced to end their first round of battle. Suddenly, the killer at the advanced stage of Blood Purification stood still and his eyes grew wider and darker.
