Under the circumstances, their death seemed unavoidable. Within a quarter of the hour, their meridians would burst under the torture and their blood would flow out. It was a painful end just as the Evil Mandragora had warned them.
'Divine Manor, whether we live or die depends on you, ' Ricky screamed inwardly.
"Ricky, let's try again. Help me gather the chaotic power, and this time I will use the power of Eight Diagrams to help you!" Jasper urged him with his internal power.
"The mysterious power generated from the Eight Diagrams?" Ricky asked in surprise when he heard Jasper's proposal.
"Before I agree, tell me the truth. What are the consequences if you use that power?"
Ricky could tell as soon as Jasper suggested it that the power he held was dangerous, not only for their enemies but also for himself. Jasper sounded worried and hesitant when he suggested the idea. Furthermore, if the mysterious power of the Eight Diagrams could be used without restraint, Jasper would have used it from the start.
"It will consume my life span. With my current understanding of that power, it will consume one-fifth of my life span or more in every use," Jasper said seriously.
"One-fifth of your life span would be lost?" Ricky gasped in surprise. Now that he knew, he shared the same worried and hesitant look that Jasper had.
One-fifth of one's life span was an extremely high price to pay. The only people who could afford it were probably the powerful talents who were at the peak state of martial arts.
But even for those geniuses, they would probably use it as a last resort.
Could he let his companion use his life to save them?
"I have no choice but to try," said Jasper.
"Don't worry, Jasper. I can mobilize divine power and defeat this Evil Mandragora!" Ricky replied.
"Divine power! You are really lucky, Ricky!" Jasper replied when he overheard Ricky's words.
"But, Ricky, did you forget? Nestor said that the mandragora flower can absorb divine power. Even if you can mobilize divine power, it's still not your power.
In that case, the divine power is very likely to be absorbed by the Evil Mandragora and transforme
the Massacring Zone.
"Death Wings!"
In the next moment, Ricky had condensed the Life and Death Omnipotent Skill. It evolved into the Death Wings and punched towards the mandragora flower.
He needed to stop the mandragora flower even for just a moment so that he could bring the others into the Massacring Zone.
However, he was stopped short by the mandragora flower's suppression.
It seemed like the Evil Mandragora had gotten tired of them. She was done playing and was ready to finish them off.
"Ricky..." Tina murmured in a feeble voice with tears in her eyes.
"It seems that we are going to die here today," Ricky said in an apologetic tone to Tina.
"Ricky, what should we do?" Soar had also realized the blockade and asked Ricky through his internal power.
"Soar, you have the Three-Saber War God Armor. I will buy you some time with my last strength. You have to run as fast as you can. If you become the true Great Dragon in the future, you must help me do something."
"Ricky, I won't let you die alone!" Soar protested vehemently.
"No, I'd prefer that you escape with your life. Even if you want to die with us, I need you to finish something for me!"
As he talked, Ricky gathered his strength again. He attacked the suppressed mandragora flower with everything he had.
He screamed as tears escaped from his eyes in despair. He wanted to protect everyone but he was powerless. Pitiful and powerless.
