The scene was getting increasingly tense. In the blink of an eye, Ricky metamorphosed his force into Ultimate Domain which roughly crashed into Luke. Without the slightest bout of hesitation, he clenched his fist, reinforced it with the massacring power and punched Luke.
Ricky's strike was an amalgamation of his Ultimate Domain and martial art. He clearly knew that although neither of the two deputy leaders was an upper spiritual king, they both surely were much more powerful than the Shadow King.
Therefore, Ricky had to make sure his every single punch was his very best strike, and that because once the fight fell in Luke's domain, it would be more than difficult for him to win the fight.
"Those who dare challenge or offend the Celestial Army shall immediately die a horrible death." Luke's tone was derisive and he stressed upon every single word. Then, he struck out too, very strongly.
The power of his fist felt similar to that of Connor. It resembled both the evil spirit and dark power simultaneously. To his surprise, Ricky even felt that he saw Pearl's feminine power in Luke's punch. However, none of the three forces were a match to this one at all.
Ricky somehow felt that his own power was being restrained by this one single punch from Luke.
That had barely ever happened to him before, ever since Ricky activated his four zones.
'I'll collect some of his power and disassemble it in the Devourer Zone. Maybe then I'll get all the answers I need, ' Ricky thought to himself after much reflection. Cautiously, he drew in a streak of the power and immediately dispatched it into the Devourer Zone so that the devouring runes could disassemble it.
Boom! The fists of Ricky and Luke could be heard colliding into each other.
At the other side of the space, Scott, the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness, and the chief of the Casting Guild were fighting with Tyler, the other deputy. Tyler was a force to be reckoned with, and he was a master fighter. Meanwhile, Scott and the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness were two upper class spiritual kings. It was obvious they would not be able to beat Tyler fast; however, they would not lose fast, either.
As long as Ricky could defeat Luke, then their victory would be assured.
Ricky was fully aware of this.
As their fists collided, Ricky's massacring and infernal power heaved and bit the center of Luke's power just like two violent beasts.
As Connor's deputy, Luke was nowhere near ordinary. He emitted his full power, which soon settled Ricky's force and restrained the impact of his punch.
For a moment, it seemed that Ricky was going to lose the fight with Luke.
It was pretty clear that Ricky was being restrained not because he was not as powerful, but because Luke's power restrained Ricky's power only in nature. It seemed Scar, Scott and the others also ran into the exact same situation, as they were restrained by that unknown power.
'That's some very strong power. Both my massacring power and infernal power carry the power of the zones, but why are they now being restrained?' Ricky asked himself inwardly.
Soon though, he focused his mind, and forced the massacring runes and the chaotic fire runes to fuse with his power.
The fusion was a partial success. It managed to overcome the restraint, but not all of it. However it was enough for Ricky to fight at his peak performance, which was exactly what he wanted.
'It seems that the power of my zones will be more powerful after fusing with the runes, ' Ricky thought to himself.
"What? How's that possible? How could he resist the restraint with only two runic powers?" Luke asked himself as he felt shocked and confused.
The restraint was so absolutely strong because it was designed so no one would be able to be overcome it by any powers on this Continent, not even feminine or masculine powers, the two powers ranked only second to the primitive power.
The primitive power was extremely strong and the only power that could restrain the Celestial Army's power. Then how was it possible that the fusion of Ricky's two runic powers could resist Luke's power?
The fight was still ongoing, so this was apparently not the right time for Luke to try to figure it all out.
