He pointed at the middle city token and said, "This is the surface level of the middle city. Further down, there are still the first and second underground levels. These three levels are filled with various challenges!"I think you already know most of those challenges. There happens to be a challenge that's very suitable for the two of us! I just wonder if you dare."Ethan raised an eyebrow, narrowing his eyes before he said, "Are you talking about the death match? You want to start a death match against me?"Fane earnestly nodded, "That's right! Didn't you say that you could kill me off easily? You love to brag so much, but I don't believe you at all. You keep on saying that you were harmed or framed by others. Why don't we just use the simplest way to prove it!"After he said that, all of the disciples of the Pentagram Clan frowned. Trevor pushed away the disciples in front of him, walking toward the two of them, "No! You can't start a death match!"After saying that, Trevor st
At that moment, Trevor was left with anger. He did not notice that Fane had ignored his killing intent at all. Ethan did not notice it either. Ethan only had one thought in mind, which was to kill Fane personally!Otherwise, he would regret it forever if he let this chance go! He could not let Trevor stop him. At that moment, Ethan was starting to get anxious as he shouted, "Trevor, don't stop me! This guy is no match for me at all! I'll definitely be able to handle him!"Trevor frowned, "What will you handle? Your life is more important! Stop playing around!"Ethan merely felt like Trevor was incredibly petty, only nagging him on one thing and another. Ethan felt like he could get nothing done.Ethan waved his hands around and yelled, "Don't try to stop me! I was the one who wanted to start the death match. Even if I end up in any danger, it has nothing to do with you at all. Everyone can be our witness. You won't be affected!"His words had been so determined that the other disc
In Fane's eyes, the various challenges, and matches in the Whirling World were more like games, the victor would get benefits while the losers would not get anything and even stand to lose their lives. In the middle city, various matches were like games to level up, while more and more people dies."What are the three challenges?" Rudy asked with widened eyes.Fane answered, "From the most difficult to the least is the slaughter gambits, the death matches, and the gentleman's bet!"After hearing that, Rudy widened his eyes. The death match was not the hardest. There was also slaughter gambits after that. Just from the name, it sounded like it would involve a lot of killing.Rudy was even more excited. Before Rudy asked anything, Fane continued, "The middle city's upper and lower limits are much higher than the outer city for gambling. The regular bets in the outer city were set at five thousand as a lower limit and fifty thousand at the highest! Black iron bets had a limit of fifty
Rudy was more and more excited as he thought about it and was filled with anticipation. If the death match was not about to start, he would have impatiently dragged Fane down to the first underground level to see if anything was interesting.The death match area contained three large colosseums. Other than the fact that it was twice as big, it was not much different from the colosseums of the outer city. At that moment, there was a match that had just ended, the blood had yet to be cleaned off.The participants of the death matches needed to register themselves with the betting area outside of the colosseum. There were masked caretakers there.The two of them did not hesitate to walk over to the betting area. The caretaker still had a cold look on his face. The only thing different from the caretakers in the outer city was his eyes.The caretakers of the outer city had pure white eyes, giving anyone an uneasy feeling whenever they looked into those eyes. The caretakers of the middl
After all, the badge had caused Fane so much trouble. Even Fane was beginning to feel like the badge was unlucky, so he decided just not to wear it.Alchemist uniforms were not completely standard. It was just that certain patterns on it were universally recognized. That was why Fane and Ethan's clothes were different in terms of color and design, but everyone could still tell that they were alchemists thanks to the special patterns on their clothes."Even alchemists are starting to fight each other. Didn't alchemists used to say that they were incredibly calm, not as filled with bloodlust as the rest of us?""Oh please! Alchemists just love to make themselves look good! They keep trying to show us how different they are, claiming that they are so noble. They keep saying that they're different from us rough warriors! It's such a joke, aren't they just trash-tier warriors? If not for the fact that we need them, they wouldn't need to exist at all!""That's right, I just want to spit
When the odds were announced, the warriors in the spectator stands thought nothing of it, but Ethan was the first to blow up. He turned to look at the caretaker. He almost went up and snatched the scroll from the caretaker's hands.Why were his odds one to four? Fane's odds were half of his. Higher odds meant that the caretakers did not think you were as strong as the other side. That was why the odds were pulled up to attract other warriors to bet on you.That was to even up the bets between the two of them. Ethan got frustrated just thinking about it.Before they got on the stage, Fane had coldly mocked him quite a bit, so Fane was obviously pleased.Ethan's face reddened as he said to the caretaker, "That's not fair! Lord caretaker, please look at it again. How could you have my odds so high against this guy? Do you think my skills are worse than his?"How are my skills not at his level? I'm an alchemist from the Pentagram Clan of White Marsh Continent. Even if I'm an alchemist
"I know him! My clan has a good relationship with the Pentagram Clan. I'd seen him a few times before, but I don't know what his skills are like. After all, he's still an alchemist who focuses on alchemy. Normally, they never take part in fights between warriors, so I've never had the chance to see his skills!""Then who's that Fane guy? Does anyone know him? How are his skills? Which clan is he from?""Are you deaf? Didn't Ethan say it before? That guy has no background. Since that's the case, Ethan should have better odds, so why are Fane's odds lower? Quickly look into it. Why is this so?""I don't know Fane! Are there any warriors from Hestia Continent? Who knows Fane?" An intense discussion was starting among the spectators at the stands.First, they looked into Ethan's skills. After finding nothing, they started to look into Fane. However, there were far fewer warriors from Hestia Continent than in the other two worlds.There were even fewer of them who knew about Fane. Ther
He could not stand it anymore in the end. He turned and said to Fane, "These odds are nothing, so don't be so pleased with yourself! Everyone makes mistakes. The results will prove everything!"Fane snorted, closing his eyes as he ignored Ethan which made Ethan even angrier.He started at Fane and said, "You can keep on acting like this. The more you act like this, the happier I am. That's because you're about to kneel and beg me for mercy soon! However, I'm warning you. I won't let you off easy."Even if you kneel and plead for your life in front of me, I'll still torture you! I won't kill you so easily. I'll slowly torture you. There's no time limit to the death match after all."I have plenty of time to slowly torture you! I'll let you feel the greatest pain, and have you hoping for death. You'll just see yourself slowly dying away!"Ethan felt more and more excited when he said all that to Fane. His smile almost split his mouth in half. Fane turned to look at Ethan, who was sm
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
