Chapter 602 Martins Messenger (1/2)

Then, both Ricky and Terrence joined Soar, helping him and his allies slaughter the remaining ghosts.

The death of the two ghost leaders had already filled the remaining ghosts with a sense of dread. The terrible fear they felt did help disrupt their formation and depress their morale. Within an hour, they had been slaughtered and were reduced to nothing but Souls of Ghost.

In spite of the fact that the ghosts had once been living creatures, Ricky didn't regret slaughtering them at all. He didn't show any mercy to them either. Showing mercy to an enemy would do nothing but possibly hurt him, or even send him to hell sooner than he expected to die.

Although those ghosts also had their rights to live, they were obstacles to Ricky. Thus, they had to be removed. Ricky knew the difference between what was right and wrong. He also understood what was good for him and what he had to do to keep his friends safe.

Since he was weak, he had to put his interest and safety before true justice and the greater good.

When he was strong enough that he didn't have to fear anything, he would help others and do justice in the world.

”Ghosts, you did nothing wrong, but you were obstacles to my further cultivation. I must do what will further my own goals. You can take your revenge when I join you in hell someday,” Ricky muttered to himself after the slaughter was over.

...

”Samson, I'll leave those Souls of Ghosts at your disposal.” Then, Ricky handed all of them to Samson.

”Half of those Souls of Ghosts can be used to help us locate the whereabouts of other strong ghosts. The rest of them should be absorbed by the Enlightening Tree to facilitate its growth,” Samson proposed carefully.

Then, they went to the Enlightening Tree and looked up for the Enlightening Fruits. To their great disappointment, they only found three fruits, which were fewer than they had expected.

”This is all we have to show for such an intense fight? That's almost nothing good,” Soar cursed, having lost his temper.

”Haha. Don't be mad. We all know that the Enlightening Fruit is a rarely-seen and precious Treasure from Heaven and Earth. We have enough luck to get these three Enlightening Fruits to begin with,” Terrence said, putting on a thin smile and trying weakly to comfort Soar.
