Apparently the black and white mutant had fallen into a state of shock. He looked around but he couldn't spot anyone else in the area. He initially thought that nothing in the world could escape him, but it turned out that he was wrong.
"Stay hidden. He might have sensed your presence, but he can't catch you as long as you stay here. There's a chance that he is weaker than you are, but this is his place.
After all, how else could he have made the demi-saints go mad?" the Dragon Intent Grass told Ricky.
"But retreating like this is cowardly. Moreover, I want to save those demi-saints. After all, they are from the continent," Ricky said, frowning.
"Brat, this is not the time for you to be a hero. If you go out there, you will end up in the same condition as those demi-saints," the Dragon Intent Grass explained.
"Ricky, he's right. Don't take any risks. This black and white creature is strange. I can't sense his life power, but he is intelligent and he has power," the Evil Mandragora added.
"But I'm not like the demi-saints. I have the ancestral energy," Ricky pointed out.
Immediately after, Ricky created a Shadowy Replication and it got out of the Massacring Zone.
"It's a human! Its owner must have been trying to use it to explore, but he made a mistake. His Shadowy Replication can't be used to get information here," the black and white mutant exclaimed, surveying Ricky's Shadowy Replication.
As soon as he had finished his sentence, Ricky's Shadowy Replication burst and it vanished into thin air.
It turned out that the reason why Ricky's Shadowy Replication exploded was that the power contained in the space did not allow any illusionary creatures such as a replica to exist.
"It looks like I have to face him myself. This space is not like the others. It doesn't allow replications," Ricky said before he jumped out of his hiding place.
"He is always so reckless. I really have no idea how to convince him sometimes," the Dragon Intent Grass said, sighing.
"So... he used a trick to hide himself from me," the black and white mutant said as he looked at Ricky.
His body was a shadow and he had no face, but Ricky could still hear his voice.
"Who are you?" Ricky demanded.
"You are not qualified enough to know who I am. Tell me. How did you get here?" the black and white mutant snapped back.
"I'm sorry. You don't deserve to know. After all, you are just a mutant," Ricky replied in a snarky tone. The mutant didn't show him respect so there was no reason to be the bigger man.
When he heard that, the black and white mutant shook his head and let out a laugh.
Without saying a word, he flicked his finger, and a bright ancestral spirit leapt from it. It galloped towards Ricky with long strides.
Within seconds, the bright ancestral spirit reached him and entered his body. Wasting no time, Ricky activated the chromatic ancestral energy inside of him at once.
That caused the bright ancestral spirit to transform into Ricky's own energy.
'Yes! I knew it! The bright ancestral spirit is harmless because I have the ancestral spirit inside of me. And now, I think I can use the bright ancestral spirit to my advantage, ' Ricky thought, holding back a devilish smile.
"I think I can handle this," Ricky told the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora.
"That's good. We were worried that you might get hurt," the Dragon Intent Grass responded.
"The ancestral spirit can't do anything to me. I can take care of the black and white mutant in a heartbeat," Ricky said confidently.
As he spoke, the black and white mutant had been slowly approaching Ricky. He said, "Nice try. I know all of the tricks in existence. You can't fool me."
When he was done speaking, he released more of his power to pry into Ricky's memories.
But before he could get inside, Ricky threw a punch at him.
The black and white mutant was caught off guard.
