"Leader, be careful!"
the two yelled quite anxiously. Witnessing the Infernal King Bear channeled all of his powers to attack Ricky had made them both quite anxious. However, they just stretched their hands but did not move even a single step forward.
'It would be acceptable if both of Ricky and the Infernal King Bear lose this fight, ' they even thought of the same thing.
The events that followed happened pretty quickly.
"Kaboom!"
A loud crash shook the entire place. Ricky's strike directly collided with the Infernal King Bear's lava burst. Tongues of flames and spiritual energy swept across half of the magma lake in one snap!
Both Ricky and the Infernal King Bear's figures were submerged.
Only Ricky was able to notice the white light that glinted out of the Iron Destroyer which was actually the innate power that had been contained in the demi-spiritual energy.
"Whoosh!"
A lot of blood and scattered flesh gushed out of the flames and spiritual energies, which meant that the impact created by the collision was of tremendous power.
Seeing the gory scene before them, both Caleb and Elvis let dark smiles paint their faces.
It was known to the two of them that the power possessed by the Infernal King Bear was unparalleled. Even if Ricky had time to unleash his mysterious and formidable body refining cultivation method, it was of no use. Naturally, it was mostly Ricky's flesh and blood that was shot out of the collision.
In just a short amount of time, the flames and spiritual energies had dematerialized, and peace was slowly restored throughout the magma lake.
The bodies of Ricky and the Infernal King Bear were nowhere to be found. Only the horrendous view of the flesh and bones on the verge of melting were discernible.
"Leader!"
"Leader!" the two called out tentatively in unison. However, there was no response.
After the search, Ricky, as well as his body, weren't discovered.
"Ha! You call that a genius? Well then, we have finally killed one!" laughing boisterously, they assumed that the littered flesh belonged to Ricky.
"I think we will be rewarded for killing Ricky, Caleb. After all, they once failed in doing so,"
Elvis stated exultantly, nudging Caleb on the ribs playfully.
"You're right! The reward will definitely give us a chance to enter the Bone Reinforcement without trouble!"
Caleb exclaimed, excitement evident in the tone of his voice.
"Let's go take the Volcano Fruit and let our leader know then!"
"Caleb, wait. How about we keep the Volcano Fruit for ourselves, then put all the blame on Ricky?"
Elvis said casually.
The words that came out of Elvis' mouth sparked up the greed in Caleb. Staring at the fruit, he felt so many thoughts and possibilities wash over him. In the end, however, his fear won over his greed.
"Elvis, I think it's better not to do that. The reward is enough for us to enter the Bone Reinforcement. Why should we have to carry such a burden every day if we do such a thing?"
Caleb spoke softly.
"Besides, if we get caught, we both know what's going to happen to us! Our leader doesn't like traitors much if you can remember."
Upon hearing Caleb's words, fear also started to grow in Elvis' heart. He was reminded of all the cruelty that had gone down.
"You're right, Caleb. Let's just send the message to the leader at once!"
Elvis said, trying to get rid of the lingering fear that had crept upon him. His impulsive desire for obtaining the fruit was now nonexistent.
"You and I are brothers, right? We have got to stay close. If we don't protect each other, the mean ones will come after us,"
