The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1341

After those saints took their leave, Ricky accompanied Wally to the Endless Shadow's headquarters in the Third Sheol City.

A desolate air encompassed the whole city. As soon as Ricky stepped foot inside, he felt the overcast atmosphere settle over him, and when he looked around, he found nothing but arrays, giant chariots, and ancient palaces. Moreover, a strong evil spirit saturated the air inside the city as well.

Of course, that was to be expected seeing as the city led to the Devil Land.

Army troops could be found scattered inside, going to and fro in the depths of the city.

Some armies trod familiar paths into the Devil Land where they continuously fought against the devil race. Meanwhile, others were marching out of the Devil Land and into the city. Some warriors looked elated, celebrating battles fought and won. The others trudged with heavy footsteps, looking dejected. It didn't take someone to know these warriors had lost and were coming home brokenhearted.

The devil race never acted alone. That was why the creatures from the continent opted to fight them in groups. Otherwise, those devils would certainly outnumber them. "Thank you again for your help, sir!" Ricky repeated to Wally again once they had entered a palace.

"Are you offended that I didn't come to your aid from the start? Maybe you feel that I should have helped before those saints hurt you in the first place..." Wally gazed at Ricky with a knowing expression.

'Damn it! Looks like that he knows about my plans, '

Ricky thought to himself, startled. "Of course not," he said to Wally, shaking his head fervently.

"I'm glad to hear that, especially since I held off on purpose. I knew that if I made a move back then, I would ruin your plan. I even asked the saints who wanted to help you not to do anything," answered Wally.

The knowing smile on his lips grew wider as he stared at Ricky thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Ricky felt a little embarrassed. Now, he was sure that Wally had seen through his plan.

'Although my plan was flawless, it still didn't fool him, huh?' Ricky thought to himself.

Knowing that he couldn't deny it anymore, he told Wally directly, "I hope I didn't offend you, sir. I had no other choice at that time."

As soon as Ricky finished speaking, his shadow began to change. Suddenly, another Ricky appeared beside him.

This new Ricky made a series of gestures with his hands, and the original Ricky, who had been talking to Wally, transformed into three drops of blood. It was Ricky's blood, which contained a little flesh.

"That was the Shadowy Emperor Replication! I knew it!" Wally gasped in utter surprise.

It turned out that those saints outside the Third Sheol City had not attacked Ricky but a replica of his. Since his replica had taken the hit for him, the meridians in Ricky's real body weren't broken at all. Of course, those saints didn't know that.

In other words, Ricky was not hurt at all.

He had been working on the Shadowy Emperor Replication for a while now. Back in the space that Paul had created, he managed to gain mastery of the Shadowy Emperor Replication to an extent. And after half a year of hard work, he could now put it into practice freely.

The replica that Ricky created through the skill of Flesh Replication was identical to Ricky in every aspect except for the soul. Thus, he was confident that even saints couldn't see through his trick.

But, to his surprise, it couldn't fool the saints from the prestigious Endless Shadow.

After all, Wally had just admitted that he knew of Ricky's plan.

Ricky used his replica to impersonate him, making sure that the saints would hurt his replica and not Ricky himself. He decided that he would only show up once the selection had begun.

In doing this, those disciples would believe that they managed to destroy his meridians, and they would underestimate him. They would undoubtedly be caught off-guard, and he would be able to defeat them.

That was Ricky's plan.

He had a newfound respect for the Endless Shadow now. Although the Endless Shadow was a wicked faction, they took the lead to fight off the devil race. It was undeniable that they did a service to the continent, and one must recognize that.

Ricky thought that they were much better than those hypocritical saints from the major forces.

"I can't believe you learned the Shadowy Emperor Replication by yourself at such a young age," sighed Wally again. "Now, you can be considered a member of the Endless Shadow to some extent. And since you are now one of us, it's my job to save you."

It was evident in Wally's eyes that he admired Ricky.

"By the way, sir, I have one question..." asked Ricky.

"What is it?" Wally said, nodding.

"I'm curious about the identity of those Endless Shadow members from the other four big lands. Whose replicas are they?" Ricky asked.

"Most of them are Brad's, and the rest of them are mine and the other lords'. Endless Shadow has rapidly developed, and our primary goal is to kill without any intentions. To make sure that we won't lose sight of our original goal, we replaced those in charge of our branches with our replicas.

Those replicas are weaker than the strongest warriors stationed in the places where they are to avoid disturbing the balance, but I guess you knew that already.

And one more thing, the goal we had in mind when we sent our people to the four big lands was to eliminate the remaining devils," Wally said.

"From now on, I will respect the Endless Shadow," Ricky declared sincerely when he heard Wally's words.

"Ha-ha! Well, I'm glad to hear that! I got a peerless genius to look favorably upon the Endless Shadow. It looks like saving you today is worth it," Wally said, smiling.

"Wally, my old pal, I have arrived. Am I welcome here?" At that moment, another voice rang out in the palace.
