They had thought that, even if Fane was around, they would only be able to find any news in the last two days. That was because Toman Battlefield would have shrunk several times by then. On top of that, Fane would definitely be killing the demon kings, leaving some clues behind. With that, they would be able to locate Fane.They did not expect to be so unlucky. It had only been fourteen hours into the first day, and they already met Fane. They were so close as well! Their death was practically guaranteed!The Soul Burst Ring was less than ten meters away from them. They were so close because Brock was sure that Fane would not be anyone who would be able to cause them any trouble. He finally realized that he was the one not worth Fane's time.The four of them did not move at all. They were very sure that Fane would immediately attack the moment someone took a step back. If it was a normal warrior at the peak, they might have had a chance to survive if they worked together. However, F
Lazlo was his fellow disciple. The two of them were companions that had been to many places together. They had even accepted this task together. Yet, Lazlo had actually committed suicide right in front of him so quickly. Lenny's lips twitched, wanting to do the same, but he could not.It needed far more courage than he had. Lenny panted roughly as he stared right at Lazlo on the ground, not saying anything. Both Brock and Kent were stunned as well. They did not expect Lazlo to be so decisive.Fane frowned as he said coldly, "He jumped to conclusions too quickly. He could have spared his own life. I've always been a man of my word. Since I agreed that I would let you go if you speak the truth, then I would have done it."Brock had a stiff look on his face as he summoned up the courage to stammer out, "Then can you swear on your life?"Fane coldly looked at him, causing Brock to shudder. Fane said coldly, "Do you think I'm begging you right now? If you don't ask me, I can find someon
Behind a beach of gravel was a small cave that could fit five to six people. The cave was already full at that moment. Fane sat near the entrance, and he had a small array in hand. He was looking at it closely.The array belonged to Kent. He had clutched it tightly the whole time, even in death. Fane decided to pick it up to look at it when he spotted it. At that moment, the green spot that was on the array had turned red. The number on it was still seven.Fane looked at it for a long time, but could not figure anything out. However, he felt like it should indicate something important. Otherwise, Kent would not have held it so tightly. At that moment, Maxcus' voice was heard, "It looks like an array, but I don't know what it's for."Fane nodded slightly, he felt that way as well, "If they're using it here, it must have something to do with their task."Lourain looked over with a frown, "Could it be used to determine their location? I am guessing the number on top is to note down ho
Seymour frowned slightly and said, "Don't make this too simple. The four of them working together means that the situation was complicated, or that there were a lot of people there, too many for just two to deal with. That's why the four of them worked together. Even though all four of them died, it doesn't mean they died at the hands of one person. It's possible they were killed by a number's advantage."Seymour felt like his guess must be right. Fane loved to wear disguises and hide his identity. There was no way Fane would be in a group. The four of them must have worked together because there were too many people.Desmond clenched his teeth, getting angry that the others did not seem to agree with him, "Those four aren't idiots. Even if they were working together because their opponents had numbers, they wouldn't attack so easily. They must have only attacked after verifying how strong their opponents were!"They would only attack if the situation was under their control. Yet, a
The four of them talked for a long time before Fane finally spoke. He said calmly, "Alright! It's been two hours. You should hurry up and leave. If that array really was used to determine locations, then this place is already exposed. They will find us if we continue staying here."The four of them nodded. Maxcus' group bid their farewells gratefully before leaving Fane. Before he left, Maxcus had already figured out how to spread the news. He even dreamed of a future when everyone was working together against the warriors at the peak.It seemed like it would be a majestic sight. Maxcus and the others gave a transmission array to Lourain before they left. That way, they would be able to communicate any news they had. Fane and Lourain choose a direction to advance. Time passed very quickly, and a day was gone in a flash.In the last moments of that day, Fane and Lourain were surrounded by distorted space. The two of them were not surprised, since they already knew the rules by heart.
Fane turned around and looked at Lourain curiously, "What is it? Who sent you a message?"Lourain coughed as he frowned in confusion, "It was Maxcus. I don't understand. He told me the news has been spread around rapidly, and most of the warriors on the Toman Battlefield should already know about the situation. However, the situation has changed, and they've all gone into hiding."In Lourain's mind, everyone should have been working together against the warriors at the peak of the moment the news got out. Yet, Maxcus said that the situation changed and they were in hiding. As for what changed, he did not explain.Lourain was incredibly confused at that moment. When he thought about what Fane said earlier, he realized that this was probably what Fane was talking about. Just as he was recovering from his shock, footsteps were suddenly heard in front of them.Right after that, two men appeared in their sights. One of them wore a yellow shirt and looked quite decent. The other was incr
As the two of them were confused, someone suddenly jumped down from one of the trees. That person had a handsome face, and his eyes glinted viciously. The moment he touched the ground, he said sternly, "These two are mine! You two can get lost!"The man in a yellow shirt was stunned when he heard that voice. He turned to look and his face stiffened, "It's Chapman…"The man's face looked incredibly sour when he said the name as if he had swallowed a fly. The small-eyed man next to him froze as well. He had an angry look in his eyes, but quickly looked down, not wanting to show that expression.Chapman did not even bother glancing at the other two. His sharp eyes looked like an eagle that had spotted prey as he stared right at Fane and Lourain as if the two of them were already rabbits in his claws."Get lost right now! For the sake of your fellow disciple, I'll spare the two of you for now. Otherwise, I'll take your Heartblood too."When the two of them heard that, they shuddered.
Lourain frowned. He absolutely hated people who spoke that way, saying it was an honor to die for their technique. They spoke as if they were much better than others.The flames around the phoenix burned brighter and brighter, and it was as though the flames could melt a whole mountain.Fane quickly started to form seals with his hands, and about 50 Soul Swords merged into one.When Chapman saw Fane attacking, he scoffed in disdain. "My technique is at the intermediate ultimate god rank, and I've mastered it to the first state. I'm close to the second stage as well. I'm someone who's considered strong even among warriors that are above average. I'm not a small fry that you can stand up to!"Those words did not even stir Fane's heart. It was as if the man had just let out a fart. He pushed forward, and the Soul Sword suddenly swung forward.Chapman grasped his sword with both his hands and swung down at Fane's head.The phoenix dancing in the air let out another cry. Its fire-coat
