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
Earlier, Edgar had been fully focused on arguing with Albert, but he did not forget how disrespectful Fane had been. Even with how humble and friendly he had been acting, Fane still gave him the cold shoulder. It was deeply humiliating to Edgar.Edgar immediately shouted back at Fane's words, "What are you blindly talking about? Everyone here couldn't figure anything out even after working together, but you claim to know everything!"Even if you want to brag, you should do it at the right time. Don't think that we'll look at you just because you said something at this moment!" Edgar's words infuriated Rudy.Rudy shouted back, "What do you mean by this?! If Fane said that, it means he's sure. You're just trying to be petty!"Edgar let out a laugh and brushed it aside, "Don't judge others by your own standards. Petty? Do you think Fane is that righteous or noble?"I want to see what he's figured out. Don't tell me he's figured out how to break the array, I won't believe it!"A lot
"That has to be it. That guy bragged so much earlier, but actually can't back it up. So he's trying to kill himself to avoid embarrassment."Those harsh words echoed around Fane. Not a single person thought that Fane could do anything. Fane did not care what everyone else thought. He merely took a deep breath as he moved his hand. Everyone heard a piercing sound, and blood immediately flowed from Fane's throat. It was the first time Fane felt his life slowly slipping away.That was the feeling of being close to death, but Fane was not in a panic at all. Even though everyone had talked up a storm, feeling like Fane's crazy actions were him giving up, no one expected Fane to actually do it."This guy actually did kill himself. If he really wanted to give up and leave this place, he could have just stopped fighting and let the wind beasts finish him. Did he need to kill himself? Does he think it would look sad? So what if it did? Would we look at him in a better light?"Fane's actio
The next second, the wind beasts suddenly started to explode one by one, turning into green specs of light, dispersing into the air. Everything had happened too quickly, and the warriors did not even have a chance to react."What happened? Why did those wind beasts suddenly explode into a green light?""I don't know, could we have accidentally broken the array?""Maybe we've all lost?" At the same time as everyone was celebrating the disappearance of those annoying wind beasts, they started to discuss why the wind beasts disappeared.As everyone was wondering in confusion, the wizened voice was heard again, "The Phantom Array has been broken. The fifth level's test has ended. The victor will be given one key!"That answered the doubt in everyone's hearts. When they heard that someone had actually broken the array, they all widened their eyes as they looked around at each other in confusion.At that moment, they only had one thought in mind. They all wondered which genius had brok
As he got closer to the key, the man's smile deepened, "The key is mine!"He let out an excited roar as he reached out to the key with all his might. Yet, purple lightning suddenly descended from the skies at that moment. Everyone merely heard a crack as the lightning fell right on the man.The man let out a cry of agony as his whole body started to twitch. His skin started to blacken visibly as he was set on fire. He had already stopped breathing by the time his body hit the ground. He had been killed by the lightning that struck him. Everyone shuddered when they saw the sight.When the golden key had descended, everyone had greedy thoughts in their minds. However, the green-robed man had been the only person to try to steal the key. After all, everyone still had a line they would not cross. They knew that they could very well be punished by the laws if they made any moves. When they saw what happened to the man, all of them were incredibly thankful that they did not attempt to
He laughed as he said to Edgar, "You really were right. He really was breaking the array earlier. Fane's really something else. He's better than you both in talent and intelligence!"Edgar looked like he had been slapped by those words. Edgar looked at Albert with a look of intense hatred.Albert laughed it off, and as the two of them were about to quarrel again, the space around them suddenly distorted, surrounding everyone.Fane took a deep breath, not fighting back at the distorted space surrounding him. After a few moments, the space around him returned to normal.After he opened his eyes again, he noticed that he had left that dark and yellow world, and arrived at a pitch black one. Thankfully, Rudy was by his side. Rudy widened his eyes as Rudy looked around in shock.The sudden distortion earlier had thoroughly scared Rudy. Rudy reached out to grab Fane's arm, afraid that something was happening.Fane turned to look at Rudy, "Don't worry, the space suddenly distorted earli
He did not think that the old man was definitely right. Even if the old man was something left behind from ancient times, it would not change Fane's thoughts.The old man had a look of disdain on his face when he heard Fane's response, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're definitely a lot stronger than those ants outside, but you're nothing in my eyes."I know you have an upper ultimate god rank technique, but so what? Your skills are nothing special if you compare yourself to ancient warriors."Fane was stunned at those words. He had thought that the old man said that because the old man did not know anything about him, but the old man had actually seen through what level Fane's technique was in an instant. Fane was taken aback by that.Thinking about it, it did make sense. The old man was something left behind from ancient times. No matter what the old man was, he could control Thousand Leaves Tower. Anything that happened within the tower would naturally not es
