Despite the smile on Edgar's face, his eyes seemed to be scowling at Fane. Even Rudy, standing next to Fane, could see through his intentions.Rudy frowned as various thoughts flashed in his head. First of all, he did not know who Edgar was. Furthermore, Edgar had not gotten through to the fifth level from Thousand Leaves City, but from another city instead.Rudy would not be so confused if Edgar had been from Thousand Leaves City. After all, so many things had happened since they entered the Thousand Leaves Tower, and a few people had witnessed Fane's strength.Even though they had some conflicts with the Unbreaking Pavilion in Black Sun City, the disciples that saw Fane had all died. Even if those wandering warriors had told the Unbreaking Pavilion about Fane, Rudy noticed just how eerily swift Edgar recognized Fane.That could not have happened, even if those wandering warriors had described how Fane looked. After all, there was no way to perfectly describe how someone looked. T
Albert's words exposed Edgar's motives, leaving the man completely furious.At this point, asking Fane more questions would be too obvious, and anyone would be on alert after that. Thus, Edgar could not proceed as he planned.The desire to rip Albert to shreds thickened as he panted furiously, pointing at Albert. "Only petty men think everyone's a thief. I never thought about that at all! I just wanted to have a chat with Fane. Where did you hear that I'm trying to look into things?"Albert raised an eyebrow, answering earnestly, "You were constantly asking where Fane's from. Didn't you just say that he should just tell you where he's from since things were already at that point?"Isn't that just you revealing your intentions? You don't know him at all, yet you tried to be so nice to him. With your temperament, there's no way you'd act like that without a goal!"Those words deflated Edgar. He looked at Albert hatefully as he gritted his teeth angrily. However, there was nothing he
The more Fane thought about it, the more confused he got. Edgar and Albert who were next to him were already coming to verbal blows. The two of them could not stand the sight of each other, and Albert had even interfered with this. How could Edgar take that?Edgar shouted loudly at Albert, "Just you wait! I definitely won't let you off. Even if we can't fight here, I'll find you when we get out! Don't think you can continue bragging in front of me!"Albert laughed, saying nonchalantly, "You talk like you're strong enough to have me on my knees if we meet again. You're clearly the weaker one because talking is all you do!"Fane frowned as he looked at the both of them arguing. Fane felt like his ears were buzzing. He turned around and walked in another direction as he did not want to bother with them anymore. Edgar's plans had already been exposed. It would only cause suspicion if he continued, and he would have nothing to gain, so Edgar did not stop Fane from leaving.Rudy follow
All of the disciples of the Unbreaking Pavilion probably already knew what Fane looked like. Fane let out a sigh.He then said, "They know how I look and that I'm called Fane. They know I'm skilled as well, but they don't know where I'm from. It means that they only knew of me from the Whirling World!"Rudy nodded, looking at Fane respectfully. Rudy had been so confused about everything, but Fane had started to analyze things earnestly. Everything Fane said seemed logical.Fane continued, "If they did not know me from what I did in Black Sun City, then it had to be someone from Thousand Leaves City who recorded me and sent it over."Before we entered Thousand Leaves City, we met quite a few people, but there were no disciples from the Unbreaking Pavilion among them. Even if I did well, there could not have been any disciples sending my image over."So I'm sure that the person who recorded my image must be a warrior we met after entering the Thousand Leaves Tower."Hearing that, F
Fane nodded, saying quickly, "Do you remember how Grayson looked at you when you were questioning him? He looked at you as if it was the first time he has seen you. He did not seem to know the two of you, and looked at us like enemies when you questioned him!"Rudy had a dark look on his face and replied, "That's true! That's what happened! So he recorded your image with a special array and broadcasted it. He really doesn't know us, and wanted to figure out where you're from…"Fane nodded. That should have been what happened. That was the only reason he could think of after considering everything that had happened. However, a bigger question remained; What did Grayson go through?Could Grayson have done all that just to try and figure Fane out? Fane sighed…"There are too many questions regarding Grayson. The information we can get is not enough to determine what happened to him. Why doesn't he know us? Why was he looking into us? What does he want…"After saying that, Fane no lon
All of them widened their eyes as they looked around. They were all on full alert, ready for anything to suddenly happen. After a few moments, that familiar voice was heard again. It was as deep and monotonous as usual…"All members gathered, and the fifth level's test will begin. All of you entered an illusory world, you're not in the real world…"Everyone froze at that. Even Fane looked up in disbelief. They were not in the actual world, but an illusion.Fane never felt like he was in one from start to finish, because everything had felt so real. After absorbing so many memories of past heroes, Fane was very confident in his intuition.After all, he had all that experience to fall back on. Fane would usually notice any hint of irregularity. Yet, Fane had felt like everything was normal after entering the place.Everyone he saw and everything he heard seemed perfect. There had been no way for him to know that he had been trapped in an illusion at all. The ones around him were inc
Even if he was not eliminated, it was useless for Fane to keep guard of him anyway. After all, Rudy could not get the prize.Fane nodded, if Fane really decided to ignore Rudy, then Rudy would definitely be eliminated. A few familiar roars were heard in the distance.Green figures started to rapidly charge at them. A few hundred wind beasts were basically rushing at them with all their might.Those wind beasts were flaring their teeth with eyes full of bloodlust, looking like they wanted to rip everyone apart."What do we do?! Break the array? Is this an array? Do they want us to break out of the illusion or the array? I have no idea what's happening, and the test has already started…""I haven't figured anything out either. There was so much free time at the start, and nothing was said. Why is the test so rushed? We didn't get any time to think about what array we were supposed to break at all. Could those wind beasts have all been formed by arrays?"The warriors were all in con
There was only one thing he knew. It was impossible to break the array just by relying on constantly killing the wind beast."Fane, why are the wind beasts not attacking me?" Rudy said to Fane.Fane had pushed Rudy behind him earlier, but as time passed, Rudy realized in surprise that those wind beasts did not seem to see him at all. All of the attacks fell on the warriors that relied on themselves to enter the fifth level.He was completely ignored as a dependent. Even without Fane's protection, the wind beasts ignored him anyway, not attacking him. That actually gave Fane more room to relax, not needing to protect Rudy."Everyone, quickly figure something out! We can let this go on, or all of us will be eliminated!""I can't hold on any longer…" A man from the Deer Pavilion let out a cry of misery.Right after he said that a wind beast bit him on the arm. The wind beast's bite was incredibly strong. With a pull, it ripped that man's arm off.The disciple of the Deer Pavilion l
