Their battle lasted a long time, and everyone was awestruck as they watched it.
Ricky and Mordechai were well matched in their physical strength. Right now, they were in a deadlock.
The battle between them was so intense that it could be at par with a battle between middle spiritual
emperors. Their physical strength was equal to that of the lower spiritual emperors.
Suddenly, the fierce fighting came to an end. Ricky and Mordechai separated from one another, both of
them trying to catch their breaths. At that point, both of them were covered in blood.
Despite that, their fighting spirit was still at the top. They were not ready to stop.
"You're the first one on my level who can fight me like that in a bodily collision," Ricky said, his voice
low.
At that moment, Ricky was not sure if he could beat Mordechai.
He was convinced that Mordechai was a top ace genius in terms of physical strength.
"You are also the first person I've encountered who could match my physical strength. However, it is I
who will prevail. I will become the holy son, and I will defeat you," Mordechai said, his voice hoarse.
Since he had burst out his blood power to its extreme, Mordechai had become more aggressive and
ferocious.
"Really? Well, we'll both know soon enough," Ricky said coldly.
He puffed out his chest. He was unwilling to back down.
Mordechai let out a low growl.
Then, he was suddenly engulfed by the dark gray power he had released previously. Soon, there was
only dark gray power left around his body.
"Come out to fight, my Evil Combat Body" he shouted.
Soon, he grew taller, and his skin turned dark gray. It was like he was made out of the darkest black
iron.
However, what shocked Ricky the most was his sudden urge to surrender to Mordechai.
Alert, he activated his Chaos blood power. However, he still couldn't get the thought out of his head.
Ricky became more confused, and he wondered what the dark gray power was.
'His body has morphed, and it's as if he changed into his mutant. However, I can't sense any mutant
power from him. That means he didn't burst out his mutant...' Ricky analyzed the situation in his head.
"What kind of power is this? Why does it make us want to surrender to him?" The other warriors who
were present also became confused as Mordechai's dark gray power was also working on them.
"I don't know. I've never encountered such power before!"
"Mordechai has changed into this. Is this being caused by his mutant?"
"That's not a mutant. There is no spiritual energy in it. I didn't sense the mutant mark, either," Hayes
said. "However, changes in his body are not a result of some ordinary cultivation method either!
It's highly likely that his blood power has caused all this.
Maybe the mysterious mutant we thought he had is like this. I couldn't help but feel in awe of him now!"
No one could figure out what led to Mordechai's changes.
"I see. He activated the Sorcerous Combat Body. I guess I know this brat's real identity. I can't believe
that such creatures still exist now. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!" the Dragon Intent
Grass exclaimed abruptly.
"What are you talking about? What is the Sorcerous Combat Body? What do you know about him?"
Ricky asked immediately. The Dragon Intent Grass' words intrigued him.
"It's the Desolate Sorcery tribe! This guy must come from that tribe. Only the creatures belonging to
that tribe have the Sorcerous Combat Body!" the Dragon Intent Grass replied with conviction.
"What is the Desolate Sorcery tribe? I've never heard of it before," Tina asked.
"Records of the Desolate Sorcery tribe could only be found in some ancient books. Much of its history
has been erased, so most people are ignorant of its existence. They are very mysterious. It's not
surprising that you don't know about it. I only know this tribe because I have the memory of the oldest
Great Dragon," the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"The Desolate Sorcery tribe is the first species to ever have existed in the world. It appeared when the
world was created.
Its members had the Sorcery blood power, which enables them to possess an incredibly strong body.
Their bodies are even stronger than the bodies of those that cultivate the cultivation methods or
Omnipotent Skills related to body refining.
Simply put, the Sorcery blood power could increase one's physical strength immensely. It is also
superior to the Chaos blood power.
The members of the Desolate Sorcery tribe were born with such strong, powerful bodies. They have
infinite strength, and no creature could ever be at par with them in terms of physical strength. When the
devil race first invaded our world, they were defeated by the Desolate Sorcery tribe.
Under their lead, the creatures from the continent once invaded and ruled over the devil race's
territory."
"Shit! I can't believe that the creatures of the Desolate Sorcery tribe were that powerful!" Ricky blurted
out. He was incredulous. How could he have not known such a thing?
"Yes, they are really powerful," the Dragon Intent Grass replied. "At the time, only the ancestors of the
devil race and our ancestors could suppress them."
"Who were the ancestors of the devil race and our ancestors? Can you tell me more about them?"
Ricky asked. He became more and more curious about his latest discovery. He wanted to know
everything he could.
"Don't ask me. I know nothing about them," the Dragon Intent Grass replied, shaking his head.
"Ah... Got it!" Ricky said, looking a bit disappointed.
"However, the Desolate Sorcery tribe was not able to survive a long time," the Dragon Intent Grass
continued. "Several eras later, it began to decline, and it eventually disappeared.
No one knows the reason behind their disappearance. The most prominent rumor is that their tribe had
been wiped out by some powerful tribes from the continent because the creatures of that tribe were
cruel, aggressive, and wanted dominion over all the other creatures."
"The members of the Desolate Sorcery tribe have the Sorcery blood power... It's no wonder he can
suppress my Chaos blood power," Ricky said, frowning.
"Maybe it's because their bodies are so strong and special that they couldn't acquire the mutant.
However, their physical strength is their best weapon. It turns them into true fighters!
They have special bodies and they are called the Sorcerous Combat Bodies. That is what Mordechai
has now. He has activated the power of the Sorcerous Combat Body.
The stronger their blood power is, the more powerful their Sorcerous Combat Bodies get. The
Sorcerous Combat Body is like the devil's body," the Dragon Intent Grass explained.
"I understand... So the Sorcerous Combat Body is similar to the mutant," Ricky said, nodding his head
slightly.
"Exactly. The Sorcerous Combat Body is not weaker than any top mutant. I don't think you can argue
with that," the Dragon Intent Grass added.
"Of course I agree with you. Even without bursting out the Sorcerous Combat Body, we could easily
end up in a draw. I can't imagine how powerful he would be with the help of the Sorcerous Combat
Body," Ricky said, looking Mordechai in the eye. Suddenly, he felt refreshed. He was more eager to
fight.
Ricky had met two people whom he thought were qualified to be his opponents.
The first one was Scales, whom he had encountered in the ancestral land of human devils.
The second one was Mordechai, who was right before his eyes.
Although Lundy was powerful and considered as an ace genius, his strength was simply not enough to
excite Ricky.
"I can't believe that such creatures exist!" Tina and Amelia said in chorus. Their jaws had dropped open
slightly in their shock.
"Right now, no one knows the Desolate Sorcery tribe except for the people from ancient clans and
forces with a long history," the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"A member of the Desolate Sorcery tribe has showed up. I don't know if it's a good thing. Once they
unleash their blood power, they will become ruthless and aggressive. I believe you can tell by the way
that Mordechai has changed.
However, I think it might be a good opportunity for you to confront a creature from the Desolate Sorcery
tribe."
