CHAPTER 588 THE SANDY MUTANT
Boom! Right after Ricky finished speaking, he enhanced the energy of the devouring power to its
maximum capability. The devouring runes turned into countless swirling windstorms at once. They
began to rip through Henry's Virulent Dragon Fist and absorbed its toxin.
Noticing that Ricky's devouring runes had started absorbing the toxin from his attack, Henry withdrew
his fist at once. He didn't even have time to think about what had happened before he stopped his
attacks and drew back.
The toxin of the Virulent Dragon Fist was where its power came from. Without the toxin, it was just a
regular punch. Henry knew that he would hardly be able to hurt Ricky with such a punch. As the toxin
was absorbed by Ricky's devouring runes, Henry realized that Ricky had successfully dissolved his
move.
Boom! Boom! As Henry was backing away, Ricky easily fended off his attacks.
However, since Ricky didn't know his opponent very well, he didn't go on the offensive right away. One
could never be too careful. Ricky had never met someone with the Sandy Mutant, so before he found
out more about Henry's mutant, he decided that he couldn't afford to launch another attack.
"You're very cautious of my Sandy Mutant, aren't you? If you had launched an attack just then, who
knows, I might have gotten injured. That would have been a perfect moment for you to come at me,"
Henry said in a serious tone as he steadied himself.
He was very surprised that Ricky wasn't afraid of his toxin at all.
"Yes. I don't know anything about your Sandy Mutant, and it's my first time to hearing about that kind of
mutant," Ricky admitted. He had nothing to hide.
He knew that not knowing his opponent was the only weak point of him in such a battle.
"You're really cautious," Henry commented with a faint smile on his face. "In fact, even if you had
attacked me just then, you wouldn't have hurt me."
"I knew it," Ricky said upon hearing what Henry said.
He thought that there was no need for Henry to lie to him, and his intuition was also telling him that it
wouldn't be easy to injure him because of his Sandy Mutant.
'The Sandy Mutant. What is its specialty?' Ricky wondered, frowning.
"It seems that you're dying to get to learn more about my Sandy Mutant. Hahaha! Let me show you its
real power," Henry said with a smile, taking in the serious and confused look on Ricky's face.
He began to activate the Sandy Mutant after he was done speaking. Showing its power to Ricky wasn't
the real reason that he had activated it at that moment. Deep down, he knew that if he didn't activate
the Sandy Mutant, he might lose that battle. Even if he used the Sandy Mutant, he wasn't sure he
would be able to kill Ricky.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do!" Ricky said in a low voice.
He knew that the battle between him and Henry hadn't really begun until the point that Henry activate
his Sandy Mutant. Ricky couldn't help but activate his runic powers. Without him even noticing, his
golden body was already surrounded and protected by his four runic powers.
Ricky hadn't exerted all his power until that point.
Boom! Boom! Henry's momentum was getting stronger and stronger. There was no doubt that he had
already activated his Sandy Mutant.
It was also easy for one to tell that his energy of ruin had reached the highest level from his intense
momentum. The energy of ruin swirled around Henry's body like drifting sand. His body began to
change right after he poured the energy of ruin into his body.
All of a sudden, Henry's body turned into yellow sand. His whole body, even his hair and his eyes, had
turned into sand. It seemed that his whole being was literally made of sand.
Ricky could feel that Henry's momentum and strength had reached a higher level as well. As a second-
class middle spiritual king, Henry was at his intermediate level already. This belongs to : ©.
"Is this what the Sandy Mutant looks like? This is its real form?" Ricky muttered in a low voice after
seeing the change in Henry's body.
Ricky felt like he was in a tough spot, but he retained a confident expression.
"It seems that the toxin can't hurt you. How about a taste of my fire though?" Henry threatened, his face
growing serious.
"Fire? What fire?" Ricky's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Boom! Boom!
Before Ricky could figure it out, a strange kind of fire started to burn around Henry's body. Its color
resembled the ocher of the energy of ruin.
"That's Ruin Holy Fire! How do you have it? Isn't it that only can be possessed by the creatures of the
Ruin Leopard tribe?" Ricky said in great disbelief. He recognized the Ruin Holy Fire from its color.
"Hahaha...I've told you. My Sandy Mutant can absorb any kind of sand. Toxin can't hurt you, so let me
see what you can do about my attacks when I use the Ruin Holy Fire," Henry said with a smile.
"I have to say that I'm surprised that you're able to recognize this kind of fire.
It seems to be true that there is a history of animosity between you and the Bu Clan."
"Any kind of sand?" Ricky asked in surprise. He hadn't completely realized what Henry was capable of
until that moment.
"Ruin Holy Fire!" Henry shouted.
All of a sudden, Henry launched an attack. His sandy body flew high into the sky and he threw a punch.
The Ruin Holy Fire around Henry's body surged, shooting towards Ricky one flame after another.
Within a large flame, a mass of sand was merging with the holy fire. Quickly, it turned into a giant fist
that was coming straight for Ricky from up in the sky.
"Okay, then. Let me see what your Sandy Mutant is capable of with the holy fire instead of toxin," Ricky
said sternly. Feeling the threat brought about by Henry's punch, Ricky quickly cleared his mind and
prepared himself to withstand it.
The battle began again. Ricky had already activated the first level of Ultimate Golden Body and his
whole body was covered by the chaotic fire runes.
Since Henry had attacked him with the Ruin Holy Fire, Ricky thought that he should withstand it with
his Ruin Fire.
"Chaotic Fire Omnipotent Skill—Flame Torrent!" Without any hesitation, Ricky shouted and activated
his own skills.
The next moment, Ricky's whole body turned completely gold and the chaotic fire runes circled around
hi . Fusing with the chaotic fire runes, he turned into a torrent of flame and flew towards Henry's Fiery
Sandy Punch.
The color of the torrent of flame was yellow, just like the color of the Ruin Fire.
Boom! Boom!
In the next moment, the two strikes collided with each other. It created such a powerful thud that
reverberated throughout the space around them.
The sandy punch covered with the Ruin Holy Fire formed into the shape of giant mouth. It flew towards
the torrent of flame and tried to bite Ricky's body. All of a sudden, the power of the Ruin Fire surged up
to its peak and the Ruin Holy Fire seemed to be suppressed at once. It seemed that the Ruin Holy Fire
had suddenly lost its power.
"What's wrong?" Henry couldn't help but shout. He couldn't believe his eyes.
Since the Ruin Holy Fire had been touching his body as they fought, he could feel the sudden change
at once.
"What? The ruin power of that fire is much more powerful than that of the Ruin Holy Fire. I can't believe
it. It seems that the Ruin Holy Fire is nothing compared to it," Henry mumbled in distress and disbelief.
He couldn't help but keep staring at the Ruin Fire as he tried to figure out what had happened.
Suddenly, Henry's eyes popped open in astonishment. It seemed that he had figured out the reason
after some thought.
