Chapter 210 Escaping The Impasse
Chapter 210 Escaping The Impasse
Even Zenith was stunned by what he just witnessed. An expression of admiration appeared on his
face. Meanwhile, he felt happy for Ricky to gain such a powerful weapon. That pagoda was a spiritual
space tool into which people could hide themselves. It must be a spiritual tool of intermediate stage, at
least! Even a spiritual king would be thrilled if they ever got their hands on one!
'Possessing a spiritual space tool which can contain people, Ricky, you are so lucky! You are doomed
to be the common enemy of the whole Realm of Wildness! Everyone wants to take it from you!' Zenith
sighed in his heart.
Even though this pagoda could help Ricky escape, Zenith did not dare slack off. Ricky might be able to
enter this spiritual space tool at the intermediate stage in front of a spiritual king, but he could not
manipulate this pagoda to disappear that easily because the spiritual king would have learned the
pagoda's smell and was able to locate it! Wherever it went, the king was always able to find it, unless
he had other matters in his hand!
Zenith was also well aware of this fact. "Hey, Errol, Mia. I'm still here! Don't ever underestimate your
enemy!" At this time, Zenith stopped thinking about Ricky. All he wanted was to attract Errol and Mia's
attention to create an opportunity for Ricky to escape. He exerted his internal strength and
consequently, the power belonging to a middle spiritual king broke out and unleashed an enormous
energy! Zenith focused all his power on his finger and pointed at Errol. In an instant, Errol's Endless
Flushing Palm was destroyed!
Then, the ravaging frozen energy formed a cage and trapped Errol and Mia!
'Ricky, I'll try my best to keep Mia trapped; she wouldn't be able to chase you! All you need to do is run!
The farther, the better! Stay away from them as hard as you can!' Zenith wished silently as he felt
Ricky's spiritual space tool run away at full speed.
Above the frozen ice cage, Zenith cast a unique spell belonging to an innate spiritual king to keep the
cage intact. He hoped that with this, Errol and Mia would have a hard time breaking it.
"Damn it! Zenith! How dare you stop me! I swear that the Snow Sect is the number one enemy of the
family of Greenhill, and it will stay that way forever!" Seeing Zenith do whatever he could to keep him in
the cage, Errol roared in great rage with resentful eyes. He had never been that close to Ricky. If it
weren't for Zenith, hunting Ricky and the pagoda would have been a lot easier. However, he was
caught by Zenith and was unable to find his way out.
Despite his anger, he knew that there was no way he could hunt Ricky down with Zenith always in his
way.
"Ha-ha! The number one enemy? Forever? The Snow Sect and the family of Greenhill are already
enemies! How ridiculous you are to threaten me with such a funny excuse?! Use your brain and try to
make up another one, please!" Zenith burst into laughter upon hearing Errol's threat, as if he just told
him an unforgettable joke.
Right after he finished his words, Zenith launched another attack. He concentrated his energy on his
finger and shot directly at Errol and Mia who were still trapped helplessly in the frozen ice cage.
"Errol, let's work together! You break the cage and fight against him. I go and chase that bastard! Once
we succeed, I will bring him back here and we will share everything he has! What do you think?" Mia
proposed out of desperation.
Although she was also a spiritual king, she was much weaker when faced with Zenith, a middle spiritual
king. If Errol refused to help her, she knew that she wouldn't be strong enough to break the cage on her
own.
A spiritual king wasn't like any mortal. In the innate spirit period, there was a huge separation between
the neighboring levels. The power gap between a lower spiritual king and a middle spiritual king was
like that between a warrior at the first grade of Bone Reinforcement and a warrior at the ninth grade of
Bone Reinforcement. Therefore, a middle spiritual king shouldn't have any trouble killing a lower
spiritual king with ease. Mia knew about this and was afraid of Zenith.
Zenith, on the other hand, knew he didn't need to kill Mia. All he needed to do was to keep her here.
Errol ignored Mia's proposal. Instead, he kept cursing Zenith and attempted to resist his attack. It was
not because he was too caught in the moment to reply to her, but he just didn't want to. Mia's
suggestion didn't sound so good to Errol.
As for the frozen ice cage Zenith threw at them, Errol definitely had the capability to break it, but he
chose not to.
Mia was not a fool and could see right through Errol. She knew that he didn't help her on purpose.
Annoyed by it, she gritted her teeth and cursed secretly in her heart. Yet she kept persuading Errol to
consider her proposal.
"Well, well, well. I'm sure Ricky can weather the storm this time. Very fortunate of him!" At first, Zenith
was also puzzled why Errol did not break his cage. He knew that he was able to if wanted to. But soon,
he figured out the reason behind Errol's behavior.
Zenith was certain that Errol and Mia were not friends; they refused to work together.
If Ricky was still here, within the range of his vision, Errol would definitely break free and do whatever
he could to keep Zenith busy so that he would be unable to aid Ricky. However, once Ricky was out of
his sight, if he helped Mia to escape the cage, he would end up with nothing because he knew Mia
would not fulfill her end of the deal! She would keep the spiritual space tool for herself and hide!
Mia made a promise to Errol but she did not have his trust. Once she successfully killed Ricky and
acquired the spiritual tool, there was no way she would share it with anyone! In that situation, Errol
would never have any chance to take the pagoda from her. After all, Mia was from the Casting Guild,
an organization which was significantly stronger than the family of Greenhill!
On the contrary, given that Ricky escaped this time, maybe he would get another chance someday. He
could go and search for him later.
That was why Errol refused to help Mia.
The three spiritual kings fought for an entire day. Zenith tried his best to keep them in place so that
Ricky could get as far away as possible.
When the sun had set and darkness surrounded them, Zenith assumed that Ricky must have reached
a safe place.
"It's time to end!" Bearing this in mind, he withdrew his power and left immediately. "Hey, Zenith! I will
never forget what you've done to me! You'll pay for this sooner or later!" Errol shouted angrily at Zenith
who was already out of their sights.
However, he heard nothing back but the leaves rustling in the wind.
Errol and Mia stared at each other with hateful eyes, both exhausted. Needlessly to say, Mia was
extremely unhappy.
"Errol, what the hell were you thinking? That bastard got away! Again! How could you let this happen? I
made a suggestion to you! But why did you ignore me? I can't believe what you just did!" Mia cursed in
rage in a resentful and severe tone.
"Why? Ha-ha. Mia, I'm sure you know why! Do I really have to tell you? It's going to be awkward. We
both know it!" Errol stayed calm despite Mia's unfriendly attitude. Instead, he just replied in a distant
tone. After he was done with his words, he left and headed for the direction where Ricky went.
A spiritual space tool which could contain people! Errol was determined to take it from Ricky at any
price!
...
Ricky had been running endlessly for a whole day thanks to Alva's help.
"Hey, Alva, are we safe now?" he asked. He was beginning to feel some fatigue.
"Yes, my master. Please take a rest for a while," Alva replied.
Finally, Ricky felt much relieved to hear that. His nerves had been tightened for a whole day. Now he
needed to relax himself a bit.
"Alva, I have a question. Chief Zenith couldn't have possibly stalled Errol and Mia at the same time.
One of them must have been following me. But strangely, I didn't feel anyone behind us at all." Ricky NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
walked out of the Heaven Melting Pagoda and asked out of curiosity.
"My master, Errol would never let Mia to chase after you by herself. You know what I mean?" Alva
replied.
"Oh, I think I know what you mean!" Ricky was suddenly enlightened as he nodded to Alva.
"I think I need to take a rest and stabilize myself. Then let's head for the Heaven Wood Land! With this
mask Chief Zenith gave me, I'm sure we wouldn't be in any danger!"
Then Ricky took out a Recovery Pill and swallowed it, preparing for the adjustment.
"Bomb!"
However, before he could hunker down, Ricky felt a strong murderous aura drawing towards him! In an
instant, he was trapped into an endless frozen space. It was cold and chilling. It made him shudder.
"Hurry up, my master! Go inside the pagoda! Now!" Alva urged in an extremely worried tone!
Luckily, Ricky was not petrified by the killing intent. Before Alva got to finish his words, Ricky was one
step ahead of him and had already slipped into the Heaven Melting Pagoda.
The moment he entered the pagoda, a black shadow devoured the place where he just stood.
"An innate spiritual king from the Endless Shadow!" Ricky recognized the man's identity from his
appearance. He was covered in black cloth apart from his eyes.
"I'm sorry, my master. I was being careless. I didn't detect that an innate spiritual king was on our tail!"
Alva apologized, his voice turning extremely serious, which had never happened before.
"Do we have a chance to escape?" Ricky asked, eyes narrowing and brows furrowing.
"It seems impossible!" Alva replied, unwilling to admit the fact that he wasn't capable of helping Ricky
escape. "This man is an expert on tracking and hiding. He is even much more powerful than Zenith and
Errol. I'm sure that he is an upper spiritual king!"
"An upper spiritual king, and someone from the Endless Shadow! It can't be! He must be the Shadow
King, the leader of the Endless Shadow!" Ricky was almost certain about his guess. However, this
discovery frustrated him very much. "Bad luck! It hasn't really been my day today! I thought I already
escaped from those killers! Great! Here comes another powerful foe!"
"Boy, I know you are inside the pagoda. Hand over everything you have. I can show you mercy and
keep your corpse in one piece!"
