Frankly, Chad's dark power was more appalling than Ricky's devouring power.
Terrifying as it might seem, but Chad's dark power could not possibly devour Ricky's power. This was because apart from devouring power, Ricky's attack contained the chromatic energy as well as the chaotic power at the same time. In fact, these two powers were so outstanding that no other power could ever devour them.
Meanwhile, Chad's dark power ceased to absorb Ricky's power the minute the devouring runes were activated.
Soon after, Ricky's Ultimate Golden Body unleashed its primitive power, releasing the golden light. On the other hand, the purple-golden eternal power increased as the golden light spread. At that moment, the eternal power's light beamed brighter, giving the dark spear no other choice but to withdraw.
Overwhelmed by Ricky's multiple powers, the dark spear was forced to return to its master.
Ricky saw Chad as a worthy and powerful opponent. As a result, he didn't think twice to release his powers without any reservation.
Moreover, he tried his best to take advantage of every opportunity to gain control over how their fight would go about. To him, this was the only way he could increase his odds of emerging victorious.
Because of this, Ricky directly activated the Heavenly Illusionary Palace.
Immediately, clouds and mist emerged from nowhere, covering the space where Chad was standing on. Not long after, illusionary palaces appeared and surrounded him as well.
"Humph! Are you sure you can defeat me using the illusion power?" Chad roared in defiance.
Soon after, the color of his eyes turned bloody-red, showing a sinister look that gazed with utmost cruelty.
The dark power on his body turned scarlet-red, as well as the dark land that stood behind him.
While this happened, Ricky's illusionary palaces suddenly vanished.
"Oh, no! It can't be!" Ricky uttered in disbelief.
When he and Mike fought before, he could still remember that the latter took a while to break his Heavenly Illusionary Palaces. But now, he was surprised to see Chad destroy them so easily.
What surprised him the most was the moment he saw his palaces disappear.
'Does this mean that he also has the Eyes of Heaven and Earth?' Ricky wondered as his eyes widened in shock. Without wasting any more of his time, he activated his Golden Spirit Eyes and met with Chad's eyes.
But upon careful scrutiny, he didn't feel the presence of the Eyes of Heaven and Earth from Chad.
The Eyes of Heaven and Earth were believed to be hostile to each other that one could easily sense the presence of the other when one of them was nearby.
Given that Ricky was not able to feel anything, it only meant that Chad didn't have the Eyes of Heaven and Earth.
Apart from this, he was able to sense the most evil power from Chad's eyes.
He was quite familiar with this since he had encountered this evil force from Oswald from the Western Land long ago.
"If Oswald were still alive and were at my level, do you think my Heavenly Illusionary Palace would work on him?" Ricky questioned the Dragon Intent Grass out of curiosity.
"No, I don't think it could unless you are stronger than Oswald by a mile. Moreover, other warriors who cultivate the illusion power are also no exception to this. The only time one could affect Oswald with the illusion power is when that warrior is established to be more powerful than Oswald. The Blue Water Mutant is extremely evil. This causes the minds of the warriors with such mutant to be unharmed by external items. Therefore, they are immune to the illusionary power,"
the Dragon Intent Grass replied honestly.
"Oh, now I get it. In that case, it is safe to assume that Chad and Oswald are the same kind," Ricky said with a frown as he realized what it all meant.
However, the Dragon Intent Grass's voice suddenly became serious upon hearing what Ricky said. Then, it said in a low voice, "That's the only explanation for all of this. If he doesn't possess the extremely evil power, then he couldn't have been immune to your illusions."
"So that's why he looks so familiar to me! It's because he and Oswald cultivate the same evil power. Perhaps, he came for me because he wants to avenge Oswald's death," Ricky said.
Afterwards, he looked Chad in the eye again.
"By the looks of it, you possess a strong, evil power. Do you cultivate the dark and bloody power?" Ricky asked with a grave expression painted across his face.
