Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 316

"I'm sorry, Ricky, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you in this respect. The truth is that I didn't know much about the origin of the rumor. I came to the Chaotic Region with Doris ten years ago and she helped me to establish the Dahlia Palace in order to cover my true identity. Ever since, I've heard about the rare opportunity of becoming an innate spiritual king.

Also, I've heard the rumor that a Bronze Key is hidden inside the body of the Skeleton Dragon, and that it has something to do with the chance. But I didn't know about the blood essence of the dragon until we hunted it down," Tina admitted.

"So, I have no idea who started the rumor either." She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

"Don't feel the need to apologize Tina. I'm not like that. So, it seems that the Endless Shadow has all the crucial information," Ricky commented as he blinked his eyes.

"Oh, they are dangerous. Always keep that in mind, Tina. Although you have Doris, you ought to be more careful. We have no clue what they're about to do next at all," he warned in a serious tone.

"Yes, Ricky! I'll keep myself safe, I promise. I'm quite confident about my capacity to do this," Tina giggled, a smile resting on her lips.

"Oh, there's another thing I'd like to warn you about. The Endless Shadow, their existence is not contained in the Realm of Wildness, but they are spread all over the Misty South. They show up and disappear quietly, watching each one of their targets secretly. I would say they are actually the most powerful and dangerous force in this continent."

"What? They are spread all over the Misty South!?" Ricky exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide as saucers. Tina's information surprised him to the core.

This shocked news haunted him for quite a few moments.

"Don't you worry too much, my friend. With Doris beside us, those shadows can't hurt you so easily," Tina comforted with a giggle. His shocked expression kind of amused her.

She knew Ricky had been identified as a key target by the Endless Shadow.

"Well, I'm not being frightened. I just didn't know that they were so powerful and had so many connections," Ricky replied, his tone still revealing his stunned state. He was trying hard to digest this news.

Despite his claim of not being frightened, he cursed secretly in his mind. 'What the hell?! I even told Tyson that we were going to take the Endless Shadow down! Oh, goodness! Maybe in our dreams! The most powerful organization here! I have to admit that I'm not that fearless now.' He hid these thoughts from Tina.

"All right! We can't just talk here endlessly. That's enough for today. Stay here and I'll bring Kristen soon," Tina suggested.

She wished she could spend more time talking to him. She hated to just let him go so soon. However, she knew she couldn't do that. The longer he stayed here, the more easily he might be discovered.

"Yes, sure. Thank you," Ricky replied and watched her leave the room.

A few moments later, Tina brought Kristen in. Ricky's eyes lit up at the sight of Kristen. Tina noticed this and felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. She tried hard to suppress her frustration and offered to walk them out. It could be said that she was being nice in offering to do this, but truth be told, it was so that she could spend more time with Ricky.

Tina took the lead and escorted Ricky and Kristen out. A few minutes later, Tina stopped and said, "I'll turn back here. I can't leave the palace for too long because other forces are spying on the Dahlia Palace."

"Sure, we understand. Take care," Ricky bade her goodbye.

Tina then turned around and headed back to her place. If it were not because of those annoying little birds, she would have walked with them for a longer time.

"Not bad, huh? You didn't forget me, at the least, Russell!" Kristen said after Tina disappeared into the distance.

"I will never forget you, ever! There is no one single second when I did not think about you," Ricky said with just the hint of a smile. "That's why I showed up in the Dahlia Palace! Feel free to join me as long as you wish! But be warned; this will be a perilous journey. Ha-ha," Ricky exclaimed before he burst into laughter.

"Ha-ha. That's enough, man. Stop kidding. Is Tyson all right? I'm worried about him," Kristen asked with concerned eyes.

"Easy, easy! He's still breathing, alive and kicking," Ricky replied. "He's staying with Soar now. They are waiting for us in a secret valley. Let's go."

"It's a relief to know he's fine," Kristen sighed. "Lead the way."

Immediately, they set off and moved towards their destination quickly. They made no efforts to hide themselves along the way. That was a deliberate choice as Ricky wanted the spies to know that Kristen was staying with him.

This way, Tina would not become a target.

It was a relief to have Tina's words that she would protect Trent and Bastian, as well as the members of the Manor Palace. Next, he would focus all his attention on dealing with the dangers ahead of him.

Strangely, they did not see any warriors from other forces along the way.

"Kristen, did you notice? How odd! No warrior has appeared the whole way," he exclaimed to her, puzzled.
