The words of the Time Seal's hermit spirit left Ricky feeling bewildered. He glanced at the seal with wide, astonished eyes and asked,
"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm afraid I may have misheard you. Did you just tell me to put the arena away?" "Yes, I did. It's about that you put away the arena," the Time Seal's hermit spirit instructed nonplussed.
"Okay, now, I am confused. How can I do that?" Ricky promptly asked, looking more and more baffled with each passing second.
"After we defeated the devil race, Paul had refined this arena, which means that this was Paul's property," the hermit spirit explained. "And because he is long dead, the arena would be passed on to his successor—you! The arena is made of the hardest Rocks of Heaven and Earth.
It may not be a supreme weapon, but do not underestimate it because it's as powerful as a supreme weapon. In fact, you can even use this arena against any supreme weapon," the hermit spirit cheerfully went on.
Hearing this, Ricky was overjoyed, and he made up his mind right then and there to never give the arena up. After all, it rightfully belonged to him now.
"Sir, what should I do put it aside?" he eagerly asked.
"You can use the Time Seal since the seal serves as the core of the arena," instructed the hermit spirit. "Paul had taken this into consideration, so he integrated the Time Seal with the arena."
"He seems to be a visionary," Ricky remarked, sounding slightly awed once again.
Then, he did as the hermit spirit had instructed and enveloped the entire arena with his mind. He knew that with the Time Seal's help, he could integrate his mind successfully into the arena, and only then could he keep the arena under his control.
It took Ricky four whopping hours before he could successfully cover the arena with his mind. He thought about putting the arena aside immediately but stopped at the last second.
After all, he would be in great trouble if the other warriors witnessed his action. The fact that he possessed Paul's inheritance already put him in a perilous situation, so he didn't want to add to that if he could avoid it.
'Perhaps, I can use the Time Zone and the Devourer Zone to hide my presence. That way, I can put aside the arena secretly.' A brilliant idea suddenly popped up in Ricky's mind.
With that thought, he immediately summoned the Devourer Zone and the Time Zone. The Devourer Zone formed the blood-colored light, which covered the entire arena, as the Time Zone released the time power, preventing people outside from seeing what was going on inside the arena.
Under the influence of the two zones, Ricky was able to put the arena in his Massacring Zone without being noticed.
Afterward, he took away his two zones and appeared again.
Ricky theorized that in this way, everyone would think the ancient arena disappeared as soon as Ricky obtained the inheritance. After all, it would never occur to them that Ricky was the one who put aside the arena. That was unless they saw it with their own eyes.
As soon as the saints outside the ancient battlefield caught sight of Ricky, they grew exceedingly excited, and countless warriors started gathering again.
They looked at Ricky with greedy eyes, although they were fully aware that they were no match for him. They could only content themselves with watching him from afar.
Meanwhile, Mordechai and the others quickly approached Ricky. "You have Paul's inheritance now! Why are you always so lucky?" whined Mordecai with envy.
"Ha-ha! What can I say? I'm just very lucky!" Ricky retorted laughingly, a modest smile brightening his face.
"But seriously, Ricky, you need to be more careful from now. I am sure that once we get out of here, the other forces would surely try to steal Paul's inheritance from you. You shouldn't give them an opportunity," Mordechai suddenly reminded him, a somber look on his face.
"I agree. Those people would undoubtedly try something. What are you going to do to deal with them?" asked Hayes with a worried frown. "I don't think we can be much help to you if they try to attack you since we aren't that strong..."
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll think about how to deal with them once we leave this place," Ricky answered, looking as grave as the Hayes and Mordecai.
Although he recognized that his life was in grave danger, he didn't have any plans on how to deal with it. Instead, he just planned to play it by ear.
Just then, a huge crack abruptly appeared on the ancient battlefield.
