The legendary warrior novel Chapter 117

"Yes!" Following the order of the killer of demi-immortal, the killer at the peak of Blood Purification agreed to leave.

"Since you have come, how can you go but leaving nothing for us?" Elder Samuel said in a very infuriated voice. He never had the intention to keep the lives of the two Endless Shadow killers.

"Nonsense! You are also a demi-immortal! You can't stop me now!" the other killer replied with obvious disdain on his face.

"Try me!"

Elder Samuel had enough of the two killers' shenanigans. His body started to glow with a blinding light and radiated power. He abruptly took the ancient sledgehammer from the Storage Ring and held it with both of his hands. The sledgehammer connected with him and runes started to appear all throughout his body.

"You are just a half-assed casting master at the Demi-spiritual Level! Now, how can you make me stay with that? You are overrated!" The runes that came out of Elder Samuel's body were not as impressive as the killer thought for they were only runic powers. This only made the killer go cocky and look down on him.

But Elder Samuel did not listen to the killer's banter. Instead, he gathered up all his might and continued to pour his power in to the runes on his body.

Elder Samuel was a great warrior and no other being could say otherwise. The killers might have judged his cultivation too soon. He continued to show the disrespectful killers that he was not just an ordinary warrior. Moments later, the seemingly weak runic powers in his body had changed dramatically.

The runes in Elder Samuel's body changed from water blue to blood red gradually, inch by inch.

Not only that it was a sight to see, it also triggered other senses in the room. Ricky who stood and observed the cultivation recognized the odor that circulated in the room. It was the familiar sense around the blood red runes that were in Elder Samuel's body--the sense of devouring runes.

"Wow, Elder Samuel's cultivation is something else, huh. Now that is what you call impressive," Ricky sighed in amazement as he watched Elder Samuel's runes change.

Ricky instantly knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was his doing. The color-changing of Elder Samuel's runes was due to how he understood Ricky's cursory teaching of the Devouring Skill. Ricky found it magnificent that he was able to reach this level in just three days.

'Elder Samuel seems to have a real talent on casting, but sadly the manual he's practicing is probably just a plain one, which has blocked his development!' Ricky thought to himself as he analyzed the situation.

At this point, Ricky considered whether or not he should pass more knowledge of the Devouring Skill to Elder Samuel. Since he had tried very hard to get Elder Samuel to his side.

"Ricky, a little help here!" Suddenly, Bertha's voice popped in Ricky's mind. It made him snap back to reality.

'Okay, okay. Solve the problem first. Oh man, I need to think this one through carefully, ' Ricky thought to himself to calm down.

Ricky stood on his feet and reacted quickly. He pulled out the Iron Destroyer and joined Bertha to defeat the killer at the top grade of Blood Purification.

With Ricky's current skill level, he was definitely no match for the killer. He could only distract him so that Bertha could attack and take advantage of the enemy's Achilles' heel and kill him.

The plan worked. Ricky threw in attacks and the Blood Purification killer fell into his trap. The killer exposed flaws and opened areas for Bertha to target.

"Ah! Get ready to die!"

The killer did not notice the set-up for him and continued to ensue wrath over Ricky. The killer was furious and not cautious enough in the battle as he only thought of whacking Ricky to death. But Ricky and Bertha's teamwork was superb and Bertha, for sure, would not let Ricky die in the hands of this killer.

Although the killer seemed to be a genius, Bertha was even better, more cunning. She was considered to be one of the top five disciples of the Snow Sect and was definitely a better warrior than the killer in every aspect.

Through their teamwork they took down the killer in just a matter of time. Another victory was achieved by the invincible Bertha.

On the other side of the battlefield, the blood red runes in Elder Samuel's body almost reached ten percent. This finally made the demi-immortal killer to notice the change in Elder Samuel's vigor and the color of his eyes that grew solemn by the minute.

As a killer for many years, he knew that Elder Samuel's display of force was very powerful.

"Feel the wrath of my powerful hands now!" He raised his hand glowing with runes. With all his might, Elder Samuel slapped the soul out of the killer in front of him.

Instinctively, the killer raised his hand as well and collided it with Elder Samuel's.

Bang!

The battle between the demi-immortals! It was phenomenal. The collision sparked and spread over hundreds of miles, and resonated all throughout the battlefield.

The air wave produced by the crash sent the killer hundreds of miles back and heavily bruised the side of his mouth causing some blood to show up.

The killer was hurt, indeed. The force given by Elder Samuel's hand was incredible. He lay down on his side and spit blood from his mouth.

"How is this possible? It is impossible for you to be this powerful!" The killer of demi-immortal shouted as he could not believe Elder Samuel's strength. He stared at his opponent in such disbelief and continued to wipe the blood off his mouth with his clothes.

'How could runic power alone create such intense power?'

the killer thought to himself. He once had fought with other warriors both as demi-immortals and casting masters at the Spirit Level, but their runic power wasn't as grisly as that of Elder Samuel.

"I can't believe it either. How did I become so mighty with runic power?" Elder Samuel said unbelievably, as he shared the same thoughts with his opponent.

In his whole life, never had Elder Samuel expected that he would be this powerful.

Upon his realization, there was one person he thought that he should be grateful for--Ricky. Out of the corner of his eyes, he shot an appreciative look at him. Without Ricky, he would never be able to experience and even learn how to harness such strength.

"Run!"

This was the only word left in the killer's mind after the astonishment from what had happened. Elder Samuel's strength might not have been able to kill his opponent, but it surely did a number on him.

"I've told you that you can't go without leaving anything!"

With his power at the height of surge, Elder Samuel was on a rampage. He was more confident than ever and wanted to battle the killer yet again.

"Bertha, want to jump in and help?" Ricky said.

Keeping the energy in the battlefield at a high, Ricky's vigor soared. He instantly cultivated the Fourth Degree of the Nine-degree Body Refining formula and the devouring runes started to pour into his body.

"Sure!" Bertha agreed, with cyan runes floating around her voluptuous body.

"Damn! Goddamn it! My boss didn't tell me that both of you are casting masters!" the killer cursed as he watched Bertha and Ricky's powers almost achieve their peaks.

Apparently, his boss had concealed some important information about Ricky to him.

"Your boss seems to have given you a Trojan horse. If you tell me his name, I will think about letting you go!" Ricky said.

"Just two casting masters...you are not even qualified!" The killer at the peak of Blood Purification said coldly.

"Why do you put yourself into trouble? We can deal with your boss. We can get your revenge!" Ricky persuaded the killer.

The killer had second thoughts about dropping his boss' name. The more he stood there without saying anything, the more Bertha and Ricky became aggressive with their statements and interrogation.

"Ricky, don't talk nonsense. Even betrayed, the killers of Endless Shadow won't disclose their boss' name," Bertha said. "Or their boss will make their lives miserable."

"Really? It seems that the killer does not have a reasonable career!" Ricky said, giving up with the investigation.

"Ah!"

A scream came out of high in the sky. The killer's whole right arm was shattered into pieces as Elder Samuel struck him with the ancient bronze sledgehammer.
