"I'm not alone now. I have my brothers and friends," said Ricky.
"Brothers and friends? You think the people behind you are your friends? They are courting death. Do
you want to choose the hard way?" one of the strangers asked. Ricky's refusal and resistance
infuriated the five young men.
"Leave this fight to me!" Mordechai said fiercely.
Mordechai and the others had no idea that Ricky was alright and his meridians were not really broken.
They had assumed that he was hurt so they would not let him fight easily. Ricky didn't plan on
correcting them anytime soon. This way, his injuries would be more believable.
"Thank you very much, Mordechai!" Ricky replied, smiling slightly.
Truth was, Ricky and his group weren't paying the five men much heed because their auras told them
that their strength was on par with that of the devil race's previous leader they met not long ago.
"Dogs! If you can take the force of my punches, I will help you let Ricky hand over the inheritance of
Paul," Mordechai sneered, rising into the air, his momentum sweeping over the five men.
Sarcasm rang loud and clear in his laughter.
But his meaning was clear. He knew that none of the five men could withstand his attacks.
The men in black were ruffled, their faces darkening at Mordechai's words. Before long, their killing
intents glinted in their eyes.
They didn't understand how Mordechai had the courage and confidence to laugh at them.
"Go to hell!"
As the command echoed around them, the place became shrouded in an endless killing aura.
And with a deafening roar, the five young men turned into their beast form. The Two-headed Hyena!
The hyena was a huge dog-like creature with two heads, and exuded a dark, rotten power
that was visible across its body.
Many parts of the body had a lot of naturally-occurring rotten flesh and blood that weren't injuries.
Instead, they were filled with ancient, evil runes, which were obviously the source of its mantra power.
The Two-headed Hyena used this power in the fight and the psychic power for tracking.
"Mantra Omnipotent Skill! Curse Chain!"
the five Two-headed Hyenas roared simultaneously, the rotten parts of their bodies releasing dark
runes in tandem that merged together and transformed into dark chains.
These chains were filled with three kinds of power: mantra power, dark power, and rotten power.
The five Curse Chains united to form a prison, pressing down on Mordechai. They were confident that
this prison could, with the force of the mantra power, contain him, making him look like a lamb waiting
for slaughter.
But Mordechai wasn't about to give them a chance.
These Two-headed Hyenas were nowhere as strong as him, but that didn't mean he could
underestimate their powers.
The energy of ruin rose up, yellow and white bones extending menacingly like sharp blades from
Mordechai's body towards the curse chains.
"Bone Omnipotent Skill—Bone Blade Forest!"
Bang! Bang!
The bones collided with the chains, the clanging of metal against metal ringing through the air. They
scattered in the resultant air wave, the broken chains also melting into nothingness.
The bones melted into a viscous liquid the moment the mantra runes spread out over them.
"The mantra power really is terrifying," Mordechai sighed. "But the mantra power of these Two-headed
Hyenas isn't that strong."
He then turned to the five hyenas and said, "It looks like your cultivation of the mantra power isn't up to
par after all. Maybe you should go back and cultivate for a few more years. It's a little early for you to
be robbing others."
The hyenas seethed at these words.
They looked at each other, and seemed to collectively decide that their outrage would be assuaged
only when they killed Mordechai.
Buzz!
The mantra runes on their bodies surged out like a tide, filling the entire area around them with a strong
mantra power.
They could feel the life energy of the Two-headed Hyenas running out.
"Once the Two-headed Hyena brings out its true mantra power, it will consume its life," Ella explained.
"This is God's justice. They have been given a strong mantra power, but it is also limited."
"Is that so?" Ricky and Jasper said in unison, nodding.
"The more life energy they consume, the deeper their comprehension of the mantra power is. Judging
from the loss of their life energy, the Hyenas' comprehension of the mantra power is minimal.
Even so, they need to consume a lot of their life."
"As the saying goes, nothing is given without conditions, right?" Ricky said.
"Psychic Mantra Heart!"
The mantra power on the bodies of the five Two-headed Hyenas merged again, forming an illusory
state of evil fog.
The power then enveloped Mordechai.
This was the power of curse, and also the power of nothingness.
It penetrated the defense of Mordechai's Light Apperception and reached his heart.
Before he could react, the dark mantra power had covered his entire body, causing him a discomfited
agony.
It was devouring both his fortune and his life.
"Mordechai!" Jasper exclaimed, worried.
"Don't worry, Jasper. Their mantra power is not strong enough to hurt his Sorcerous Combat Body,"
Ricky said, his voice low.
As if to confirm Ricky's words, Mordechai burst out his Sorcerous Combat Body, the energy of ruin
rushing out of his body and bringing out all the mantra runes from within.
"My heart has perfectly integrated with my body. The stronger my body is, the firmer my heart will be.
It's wishful thinking, you trying to put a curse on my heart. You should know that that won't happen
unless your patriarch comes here in person," Mordechai said, his tone and demeanor cold.
"Let me say it again: show me that you can take my punches and I'll help you get the inheritance of
Paul!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Mordechai's body had reached the extremity of this realm with the help of the
Sorcerous Combat Body. His physical strength was spreading, causing the entire space to tremble.
"How strong he is! Ricky, looks like his body stronger than yours. Is this the Sorcerous Combat Body,
the strongest body in the world?" Jasper exclaimed in awe.
With the power of Eight Diagrams, Jasper had a good perception of the strength of the Sorcerous
Combat Body.
"Go attack, my sorcerous fist!"
