Boom! Boom!
As the words fell from Ricky's lips, the whole majestic demeanor that he carried with him suddenly became unbearably thick. Then, the crimson devouring runes started permeating their surroundings. They spread out around his body, and gradually turned into a dark and swirling storm.
After a while, Ricky opened both of his palms and the Enlightening Wind Holes emerged. Two huge enlightening windstorms swept across the ground, before they merged into one more powerful windstorm that fused with the devouring runes.
After a second, the violent windstorm expanded at lightning speed. With the airship as the center, it rapidly dispersed and rushed towards the black toxins floating all around.
'Is this the move he's been holding back? The strength of the windstorm is surely going to be much stronger after it absorbs that runic power, but I'm afraid that it won't be able to stop the toxins that are drifting into it, ' Terrence wondered to himself as he watched Ricky's impressive attack.
Since Ricky still had such an air of confidence, Terrence waited for his attack to end in the hopes of seeing whether they would be able to weather that moment of danger or not.
Then, raging flames became to swirl and pop. Whoosh! Swoosh! The flames climbed higher, becoming an uncontrollable inferno, right after Terrence was wondering how things would go.
Above the fulminate windstorm, tufts of the dark and roaring flames were spreading all over the landscape. Those flames were the Heaven Illuminating Fire.
"What are those black flames?" Terrence couldn't help but say that out loud when he was given such a shock. The moment the Heaven Illuminating Fire appeared and flared up, an invisible wave of stun and awe spread through Terrence's heart, and a sense of destruction was growing in his mind.
"What spectacular fire! That's more like it—that's what Ricky's moves should really look like."
Boom! A minute later, the explosive storm made a clean sweep and sped off, intertwining with the diffused toxins. It seemed like two blasts of strong air were billowing into each other.
Hiss! Hiss! After that, the flames which, at first, had burned above the windstorm were shifting their direction. The flames were still climbing and burning above the toxins.
"How...how is that even possible?" Terrence said, his mouth open. He stared slack-jawed as he watched all that happening. He found it hard to believe that the Heaven Illuminating Fire was actually able to burn the toxins. He was totally dumb-struck from the inside out.
At that point, even Madeline was a bit stunned. That strange fire was like nothing that she had ever seen before.
"Oh my! That fire is terrifying! What else can it burn through, if it could burn through the toxins so easily?" Terrence sighed with heavy emotion in his voice after the furious attack had shocked him. Once again, he realized how unfathomable Ricky's power really was.
'Toxins? So what? That's not that impressive anyway. Those toxins could be dispersed by my Heaven Illuminating Fire just as easily if I tried, ' Ricky thought to himself with a great swell of confidence.
At that moment, Ricky started to think about Kristen and Tyson. There was a gleam of nostalgia deep within his hazel eyes.
'Kristen, Tyson, I really miss you guys. I wish I knew whether you guys are alright or not. How are you guys doing right now?' Ricky wondered to himself.
Until that moment, the strong enlightening windstorm had been getting wild and running into the surrounding flocks of Virulent Sandy Crocodiles while the Heaven Illuminating Fire was also burning above them.
The Virulent Sandy Crocodiles had low psychic intelligence and didn't understand how to master spiritual energy or enlightening power. They weren't able to convert that power into a protective shield that could prevent them from being hurt by the burning Heaven Illuminating Fire. They could only fight and their blind resistance only led to them being injured further. The more they resisted, the harder the Heaven Illuminating Fire would burn.
In no time, the Virulent Sandy Crocodiles were reduced to Virulent Sandy Cores. Of course, it was Ricky who controlled the Heaven Illuminating Fire. He stopped it just before it began to burn the Virulent Sandy Cores. If he had let it burn further, everything would have, no doubt, turned into ashes under the heat of his Heaven Illuminating Fire.
At the same time, it was also part of Ricky's plan to release the Heaven Illuminating Fire and take back the Virulent Sandy Cores.
So, in that way, the fire was a tool that he used to bring the crisis to an end.
"Ricky, with all due respect, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of fire was that?" Terrence, still lost in the mind-blow scene that he had just witnessed, asked out of curiosity.
