Boom! Right after Ricky finished speaking, he enhanced the energy of the devouring power to its maximum capability. The devouring runes turned into countless swirling windstorms at once. They began to rip through Henry's Virulent Dragon Fist and absorbed its toxin.
Noticing that Ricky's devouring runes had started absorbing the toxin from his attack, Henry withdrew his fist at once. He didn't even have time to think about what had happened before he stopped his attacks and drew back.
The toxin of the Virulent Dragon Fist was where its power came from. Without the toxin, it was just a regular punch. Henry knew that he would hardly be able to hurt Ricky with such a punch. As the toxin was absorbed by Ricky's devouring runes, Henry realized that Ricky had successfully dissolved his move.
Boom! Boom! As Henry was backing away, Ricky easily fended off his attacks.
However, since Ricky didn't know his opponent very well, he didn't go on the offensive right away. One could never be too careful. Ricky had never met someone with the Sandy Mutant, so before he found out more about Henry's mutant, he decided that he couldn't afford to launch another attack.
"You're very cautious of my Sandy Mutant, aren't you? If you had launched an attack just then, who knows, I might have gotten injured. That would have been a perfect moment for you to come at me," Henry said in a serious tone as he steadied himself.
He was very surprised that Ricky wasn't afraid of his toxin at all.
"Yes. I don't know anything about your Sandy Mutant, and it's my first time to hearing about that kind of mutant," Ricky admitted. He had nothing to hide.
He knew that not knowing his opponent was the only weak point of him in such a battle.
"You're really cautious," Henry commented with a faint smile on his face. "In fact, even if you had attacked me just then, you wouldn't have hurt me."
"I knew it," Ricky said upon hearing what Henry said.
He thought that there was no need for Henry to lie to him, and his intuition was also telling him that it wouldn't be easy to injure him because of his Sandy Mutant.
'The Sandy Mutant. What is its specialty?' Ricky wondered, frowning.
"It seems that you're dying to get to learn more about my Sandy Mutant. Hahaha! Let me show you its real power," Henry said with a smile, taking in the serious and confused look on Ricky's face.
He began to activate the Sandy Mutant after he was done speaking. Showing its power to Ricky wasn't the real reason that he had activated it at that moment. Deep down, he knew that if he didn't activate the Sandy Mutant, he might lose that battle. Even if he used the Sandy Mutant, he wasn't sure he would be able to kill Ricky.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do!" Ricky said in a low voice.
He knew that the battle between him and Henry hadn't really begun until the point that Henry activate his Sandy Mutant. Ricky couldn't help but activate his runic powers. Without him even noticing, his golden body was already surrounded and protected by his four runic powers.
Ricky hadn't exerted all his power until that point.
Boom! Boom! Henry's momentum was getting stronger and stronger. There was no doubt that he had already activated his Sandy Mutant.
It was also easy for one to tell that his energy of ruin had reached the highest level from his intense momentum. The energy of ruin swirled around Henry's body like drifting sand. His body began to change right after he poured the energy of ruin into his body.
All of a sudden, Henry's body turned into yellow sand. His whole body, even his hair and his eyes, had turned into sand. It seemed that his whole being was literally made of sand.
Ricky could feel that Henry's momentum and strength had reached a higher level as well. As a second-class middle spiritual king, Henry was at his intermediate level already.
"Is this what the Sandy Mutant looks like? This is its real form?" Ricky muttered in a low voice after seeing the change in Henry's body.
Ricky felt like he was in a tough spot, but he retained a confident expression.
"It seems that the toxin can't hurt you. How about a taste of my fire though?" Henry threatened, his face growing serious.
