Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 294 The Devil

Feeling surprised, Ricky palpitated upon hearing what Doris said. The secret that he had been hiding all along was about to unveil. A lucky guess or an accurate presumption from Doris made it happen. Sure enough, his worst fears of getting busted came true.

However, things could not be reverted on how it used to be. Every secret was meant to be discovered in the long run, so Ricky tried his best to keep calm. After a moment of astonishment, he regained his composure. After all, Ricky himself had already expected this situation - to be recognized by someone powerful as Doris. It was inevitable for him to be revealed as he kept hiding in a facade. What he could only do was to reveal himself now.

"What are you saying? That's ridiculous, Doris. How come this is not the true face?"

Tina asked and diverted her gaze at Ricky. Doris' wild statement set off a bomb on her mind, that was about to explode any moment now.

Slowly and reluctantly, Ricky took off the mask made of human skin on his face to reveal his true face. It was a handsome face that looked innocent and harmless to everyone. He smiled at the stunned, gorgeous face of Tina, showing his gentlemanly side. At the back of his mind, he wished that Tina would not loathe him for hiding his identity. A deep sigh of nervousness escaped from him as he prepared himself to explain.

"Yes Tina, this is my true face. As for my real name, it is Ricky. I apologize for lying to you up until now,"

Ricky said with a nervous yet charming smile. His heart was still palpitating hard as he waited for Tina's response.

"What a handsome face..." Tina said unconsciously as she was in a daze that made Ricky flustered. A few seconds later, Tina's eyes widened as she realized what she had said. She coughed a little and put a poker face look and said, "Your name was Ricky? What a familiar name!" It was true to Tina that she was familiar with Ricky's name. In an instant, she reacted with eyes wide open and her hands covering her wide-opened mouth.

"You... you are that Ricky with enemies everywhere!" Tina said, pointing at Ricky in disbelief that made her tremble a little.

"Yes, exactly! That's me. Ricky, everyone's enemy. Sounds rhythmic, right?"

Ricky said and chuckled as Tina's reaction made him laugh.

Although Ricky didn't want to confess, there was no possibility for him to conceal again in front of Doris. It was quite a relief that the two ladies didn’t think of him as an enemy at the moment. Instead, they were surprised and amused upon recognizing him. Then, Tina said again, "What a surprise! You are that famous Ricky! I can't believe I am facing you right now. All the forces of the Realm of Wildness are looking for you. How could you come up with this? You are hiding in this Chaotic Region and you changed your face. That was unexpected,” she said and calmed down a bit. "Well, I have no choice. It happened too sudden. I'm forced to do so,"

Ricky said, reminiscing how he had to come up with a disguise. However, he had a more important thing to do right now, so he shrugged those thoughts away.

The next moment, Ricky became serious, and asked Tina, "Now that you have known my true identity, will you..."

Ricky could not continue further, but what he meant was quite clear to Tina. In a moment, Tina's face changed and glared at Ricky, with her arms crossed. However, she blew her baby hairs away and looked away from Ricky.

"Humph! Fine. Have it your way. Set your heart at rest! I am not interested in your so-called spiritual space tool at all,"

she sneered and let out a smirk as she saw Ricky's face lightened. Upon hearing this, Ricky couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"Ha-ha. Thank you so much, Tina! I owe you this one.” Ricky laughed happily, while Tina could only bite her lips to suppress herself from smiling back.

Meanwhile, Doris interrupted and took the mask from Ricky. "This human skin mask is supposed to be cast by a casting master who is close to reaching the intermediate stage of Spirit Level. It isn't easy for normal lower spiritual kings or even middle spiritual kings to find out that you're wearing one. No wonder you've been hiding in this Chaotic Region for so long.” While she was talking to Ricky, she checked the human skin mask carefully.

'How did she know all of that? She said that the mask was cast by a casting master close to the intermediate stage of Spirit Level? Is that Elder Alex?"

Ricky thought to himself, making him admire Elder Alex for a while.

"It was well-made too. However, did you know this already? Ricky, the casting skill of this human skin mask is similar to your Pounding Skill of casting weapons to some extent. They are both intricate, but still, you have comprehended a little better,”

Doris continued. "If I am not wrong, you have ever taught this casting master sometimes.”

"How did you know? There is nothing I can conceal in front of you!" Ricky said with a faint smile. Again, Doris saw him through. He was confused whether he should be afraid or be at ease because Doris knew a lot about him.

"I just made a guess. It was not obvious at first though. Actually, I didn't concern about you until I inadvertently saw the weapons you've cast,”

Doris said bluntly. However, Ricky still felt uneasy.

"Then, can I know the reason why you led me here? I'm sure you have led me here on purpose," Ricky asked in doubt, making Doris smile as a return.

"Of course, I brought you here intentionally. To be exact, I want to let you confirm something and help me with something. I will certainly pay you back whether you succeed or not," Doris said while smiling that gave Ricky a comfort.

"It's too humble for you to say that. If you have any request, please just tell me. I will help you with it if it can be solved within my capabilities,”

Ricky said reverently. What he knew was he was not that powerful enough to surpass Doris.

That was why he really didn't understand how he could help Doris do something that even Doris herself couldn't manage to do so. Nonetheless, he was certain that he could do what Doris would request then.

"Thank you so much. Then please tell me frankly, is the Pounding Skill you used in the process of casting similar to the power of devouring?" Doris asked without hesitation. Thinking that this was a simple question to answer, Doris didn't feel a need to be sensitive in asking that question. Unexpectedly, Ricky fell into silence on hearing her words. He really didn't know how to respond to her at this moment. Unconsciously, he couldn't help but hesitated because this had something to do with his secrets. However, he could feel Doris was looking forward to his affirmative answer, and she didn't have any malicious intention.

Meanwhile, Doris and Tina didn't utter a single word while Ricky was in silence. They were waiting for his decision and answer. Yet, Doris felt guilty as she saw Ricky's expression changed.

Before Doris could say something, Ricky raised his head after a long time of consideration. Then he said, "Yes, the Pounding Skill I use in casting contains devouring power."

Both Doris and Tina became excited about hearing Ricky's affirmative response. The two ladies couldn't suppress their smiles. They seemed to see a ray of light in the endless dark abyss. Although only a little light was seen, they already had their hope.

"Doris, please just tell me what I can do to help you. I would do as much as I could," Ricky continued. The ladies became serious upon hearing Ricky. He was really curious at the sight of their looks of expectation.

"If you would be pleased Ricky, please use your devouring power to observe Tina's body!" Doris said in a hurry, and then she directly grabbed Tina's delicate hands and passed them to Ricky. Feeling surprised, Ricky could only stare at Tina's hands.

On the other hand, Tina seemed to be very shy, but she didn't decline. Instead, she was looking forward to what was about to happen. So she stared at Ricky's eyes while reaching out her hands. "Alright, I will do my best,”

Ricky said as an agreement. Looking at this scene, Ricky also understood that it was likely to be something important. He did not ask any more, and directly grabbed Tina's delicate hands.

Then, he activated his Devouring Skill. The devouring power soon spread over Tina's inner body. With concentration, Ricky cast his power to perceive Tina's power. And what he saw surprised him. 'Is this for real? What a tremendous power! This Tina is definitely a genius who can challenge those stronger than her, possibly three levels higher than her!"

Ricky exclaimed in his heart as he felt the raging power in Tina's body. It was so strong that he was immersed with it.

The power he felt in Tina's body was not weaker than the power of the innate spiritual ball in his body. Thus, he could tell that she was a genius who was able to challenge someone three levels higher than her.

“Sure enough, she has remarkable life experiences. What a tough woman, ' Ricky thought again in admiration to Tina.

The next moment, Ricky" eyebrows twitched as he felt a strong vicious or evil spirit inside Tina's body. The evil spirit would seem to break out of Tina's body at any time. For just a moment, Ricky's heart palpitated out of fear.

For the first time, Ricky felt the real invisible and intangible fear. The evil spirit was definitely a great suffer for whoever having it inside the body. Tina must have been in a lot of pain.

After a few seconds, Ricky couldn't help but retreat with a faint groan. Fortunately, this terrible power seemed to be sealed by a certain powerful array. Thus, it couldn't break out. It was confusing whether it was good news or not.

"Are you alright? I have seen it. You certainly have the devouring power, because you can feel the evil spirit in Tina's body through the Sealing Array,”

Doris said while she was watching the changes in Ricky's expressions. She was hesitant at first, but she was now firm that Ricky really had devouring powers.

With anticipation, she looked at Ricky to hear what he had to say after observing Tina.

"Evil spirit? Really? That terrible evil power inside Tina's body is called the evil spirit?” Ricky asked in a low voice, still panting in his breath.

"Yes, it is exactly called the evil spirit. It may seem unbelievable, and we would never wish for it to be true, but it is true. Ricky, do you know what the devil is?" Doris asked, with a hint of fear in her voice. "I have heard of the devil. It's said to be the mutual enemy of human beings, beasts, elves and all the other creatures in the continent. However, it was my first time seeing one,”

Ricky responded seriously. Then he asked in return, "Doris, does this so-called devil really exist? How?"

"Of course. As you just said, the devil is the mutual enemy of all the creatures in the continent. If the devil didn't exist, how could Tina have the evil spirit in her body? The devil is really terrible and frightening, having the ability to destroy all the other creatures,” Doris said in a low tone, making the three of them became anxious secretly.

"Unbelievable. So that's how it is? Unexpectedly, the legendary devil actually exist!" Ricky exclaimed.
