Summary
Rick is one of Yogiri Takatou's companions during the events of Volume 2 of the Instant Death series. After a series of ever-increasing misfortunate events thanks to Rainer he ended up becoming the Sword Saint after the former Sword Saint was killed with his guard down by Theodosia. He later kills the maddened goddess thanks to special attributes his equipment had which he was not aware of along the power he received after becoming the Sword Saint. He then sets out to clear "hell" as he feels the responsibility of doing so as the new Sword Saint.
