The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1365

A sudden hush descended upon the area. Needless to say, Ricky's performance had shocked everyone.

Just now, he had used an offensive skill that absorbed his opponents' lifespan and added it to his own.

They had never heard of such a skill, let alone seen it used by anyone before.

Perhaps, some of them had heard of it, but only when it had been used for evil means. They all felt like this was the first time someone had applied such an exceptional skill for aboveboard reasons. There was no trace of evil on Ricky at all.

Those who saw what had happened couldn't help but feel intimidated by Ricky. As for the devils, they were terrified.

'It seems that I will never be able to overtake him.'

As Peter gazed at Ricky's towering facade, a confusing mix of feelings pulled at his heartstrings. Of course, he was happy about his friend's success, but he also felt slightly frustrated at the same time.

"This isn't surprising at all, Peter, since he was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor."

Claire must have noticed Peter's discouragement, so she tried to comfort him through telepathy. "Incredible demi-spiritual emperors are exceedingly rare, and several eras could pass with only one in existence."

"I understand."

Peter sighed.

In fact, he had already decided not to fight Ricky, even before Claire said all these things to him.

It would be stupid, as he would be the only one hurt if he insisted on fighting a powerful warrior like Ricky.

'Borrowing Life from Death. Once again, it has worked wonders for me. Indeed, it has yet to disappoint me!' Ricky thought with great excitement as he felt his lifespan exponentially increase. He could tell that after absorbing the three devils' life essence, the life he had sacrificed to activate the skill of Travel Back Through Time had already been restored.

And even though the devils' life essence contained some of their evil nature, it wasn't a big deal for Ricky. After all, he had the Devourer Zone, which could dispel the evil nature very well.

Once Ricky recovered the life essence he had consumed, he immediately deactivated the skill of Borrowing Life from Death.

This was because he had excellent self-control. He wouldn't allow himself to be tainted.

Although it was a righteous Omnipotent Skill that he had comprehended from the Life and Death Zone, he couldn't let himself enjoy it too much. Otherwise, he could get drunk on its power and get carried away with absorbing other creatures' lives. If that happened, he would be no different from a real evil creature.

And Ricky couldn't allow that to happen.

Thus, to prevent that from happening, he gave himself three stringent conditions. Only when these conditions were met would he allow himself to use the skill of Borrowing Life from Death.

First, his life must be consumed. Second, he could only use it on an enemy he considered unforgivable, someone who didn't deserve any mercy, such as the devil race. Lastly, he must be in grave danger, or if he had no other choice.

After all, Ricky was not a selfless guy. He had to prioritize his safety as well.

The three devils had deteriorated so much because Ricky had absorbed most of their life essence. Even though he had deactivated the skill of Borrowing Life from Death, these devils had no hopes of surviving already. He quickly killed them and seized their arms with not much effort.

"That's great! The temptation to increase your lifespan is in front of you, but you can still restrain yourself. How impressive!"

Seeing that Ricky had stopped using the skill of Borrowing Life from Death of his own volition, the Dragon Intent Grass praised him at once.

"This Omnipotent Skill is a double-edged sword. I have to use it well, or else I'll risk hurting myself and those close to me. This restraint is crucial in using that skill,"

replied Ricky.

"I think you already have all the qualifications to become a supreme master. The only thing you lack is time," the Dragon Intent Grass remarked. "In fact, I think you are the strongest warrior I know."

"Ha-ha, you flatter me! Thank you," Ricky answered, smiling brightly.

"Guys, it's time to end this battle!" He then turned to Mordechai and other companions, his voice pulling them from their shocked reverie.

They didn't know how long they would have gawked in shock if Ricky hadn't reminded them to move.
