Born Almighty Warrior -
Chapter 665 Thiago's Answer
The way Thiago uttered his words indicated that he never saw Ronson as a formidable opponent. At the same time, this judgment seemed reasonable because Ronson was in an utterly disheveled state. His clothes were tattered, revealing wounds from all over his body. His face looked pale, showing that he was gravely injured inside by the enlightening power.
Blank and lifeless, his eyes gave out an extremely gloomy aura.
He was not used to failing his battles, but he lost this one badly. A great opportunity was presented to him and he lost in front of so many people. This would reflect badly on him, the third prince of the Eastern Empire
Despite being against the idea of giving up, he could no longer fight against Thiago. After all, he clearly knew that he was not on the same level with him. At best, all he could do at this point was give up and accept his fate solemnly. With this, he might even improve whatever was left of his strength. Then, someday, he could take the heritage here from the body who inherited the Massacring Holy Ant tribe.
As one of the top geniuses, he would never let one failure define him as a warrior.
"So what? You want to kill me?" Ronson raised his head and asked Thiago in a hoarse voice after he figured out everything in his mind.
"Kill you?" Thiago repeated after hearing Ronson’s question. "I'm not interested in killing lives. All I wanted was the Holy Ant Platform. Now that I have achieved it, I don't have to waste my strength to do anything else.
Besides, obtaining the inheritance of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe is much more important than killing you."
"Really? Since you opted to spare my life, you'd better keep in mind what happened today. I will never forget this,” Ronson spat coldly.
"Do you think I will be threatened by someone I have already defeated?" Thiago responded flatly. "Just wait and see,” Ronson determinedly mentioned as the sinister look on his face never left. He then picked up his sword and jumped off the Holy Ant Platform.
As Thiago suggested, Ronson jumped off the Holy Ant Platform without any fuss. However, anybody who paid attention to what happened caught the deep killing intent that emanated from Thiago's eyes.
'He is eager to kill Ronson right then and there, and he obviously has the capacity to do so. And yet, he chose to let him go. Is that because he is afraid of the Eastern Empire? They are Ronson's backup, after all, * Ricky pondered, evidently confused at Thiago's course of action.
Thiago remained a complete stranger to him. Still, he didn't perceive Thiago as a merciful person who would set a tiger free back to the mountain. If he were Thiago, he would have not allowed Ronson to have any more chance.
"This is just a thought, Ricky. But maybe Thiago is afraid of the sword Ronson is wielding!" Tina said, but her tone sounded unsure.
"The sword? Isn't that a mere spiritual weapon at the intermediate stage? It looks powerful, but it can't cause harm to any middle spiritual king. Am I right?" Ricky asked, discernibly confused after hearing Tina's guess.
"You're right. An ordinary spiritual weapon at the intermediate stage is not difficult to deal with. But they did mention that the sword in Ronson's hand is called Eastern Brilliant Sword. And as far as I know, it was made by copying the real Eastern Brilliant Sword—a sacred weapon,” Tina explained briefly.
"A sacred weapon possesses ruling power. It's possible that the counterfeit Eastern Brilliant Sword would also have ruling power, no matter which stage it is at.
And a little ruling power is already enough to kill us.”
"I see. So it seems that Thiago was alarmed with the potential ruling power in the sword," Ricky agreed. "Maybe Ronson didn’t summon the ruling power in his sword because he was frightened of the supreme enlightenment in the Land of Legacy. After all, the existence of ruling power is prohibited here.”
"That was an interesting and wonderful duel just now! Well then, is there anybody who wants to challenge us?" Henry boomed loudly as he scoured the crowd for potential takers.
His question was answered by nothing but silence. That was because there would be no black horse who could compare with Thiago.
"It seems that the five Holy Ant Platforms will be occupied by the five of us,” Henry muttered dryly, as he noticed nobody responded to him. "Each of you please occupy a platform and practice for a period of time here. After all, it's beneficial to all of you.”
After hearing Henry's announcement, the warriors hurriedly populated the golden platforms. Comprehending the flooding Massacring Enlightenment, each of them practiced their power.
Now that they no longer had the chance to obtain the inheritance of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe, none of them wanted to miss the opportunity presented.
"Ricky, although we didn't bet on it, Thiago has proved the veracity of my words with his strength,” Henry relayed telepathically.
"You have a sharp pair of eyes. I think I should learn from you as much as possible in the future,” Ricky whispered softly.
"Haha. I realized that by instinct. I have the Sandy Mutant, and I can certainly feel the existence of some other kinds of mutants,” Henry answered lightly.
However, Ricky found it hard to believe that Henry's mutant could feel the existence of other mutants. That was because as a mixture of four mutants, he didn't feel that at all.
Mutants could only feel the existence of other mutants given that they were similar.
In this case, however, there was no relevance between a Sandy Mutant and an Array Mutant.
'ls Thiago and Henry related in any way possible? If so, then that would be dreadful, ' Ricky contemplated.
"Thiago, I didn't perceive that you possessed such insurmountable strength. You even have the Array Mutant. You deceived all of us!" Soar stood there airborne, as he remarked sarcastically to Thiago.
"What? Thiago even hid the truth from Daisy, Ricky and their fellows. He's so scheming!" The warriors around were startled for they could hardly believe what they heard from Soar.
They all thought that Ricky was already aware of Thiago's true potential even before the battle started.
"I didn't expect that even an ace genius as you could be deceived and fooled," Pearl playfully joked with Ricky through telepathy.
It pleased her to witness Ricky frustrated even though they made peace with each other temporarily.
"Of course, that can happen sometimes. It just so happened that I can't see people's hearts through my eyes," Ricky answered, annoyed.
He was unmistakably dejected when he realized that Thiago had lied to them. But at the same time, he learned a valuable lesson—he could not believe anybody too easily in the world of martial arts, where the law of the jungle prevailed.
Hearing Soar's words, Ricky, Daisy and others all shifted their eyes towards Thiago as they all waited for his response.
Despite the heated gaze of many, Thiago remained calm for he had already expected this to happen one way or another.
"Soar, you accuse me of fooling all of you. But can you tell me how? Did I commit murder? Or did I harm any of you?" Thiago asked, his voice calm and collected.
"On the contrary, I have been helping you in my own way, haven't 1? I helped you fight against Landon and I helped you deploy a small Spiritual Energy Gathering Array.
So I don't think I owe you any apology for that matter. Maybe you think I deceived you because I didn't reveal my strength to you. But come to think of it, that just sounds ridiculous.”
Hearing that, Soar, Daisy and the rest all fell silent as they thought Thiago's words sounded reasonable. They could not find any word to refute him.
