Len was the first to stand up. He took out his weapon from his storage space and stared out in alarm. When he saw that Fane was the one there, he let out a sigh of relief.Fane was dragging Manuel and Marc into the cave, with both of them completely tied up. He tossed the both of them inside, and they let out cries of agony as they started to roll on the ground. When all of them saw that sight, they were completely relieved. Fane had perfectly accomplished his task, getting the two of them back here without being injured at all. Even though they expected the result, they were still a little worried before they saw it for themselves.Fane looked over at them and merely nodded before he walked over to Marc and Manuel. He kicked Manuel, causing Manuel to grunt before he rolled on the floor.Fane controlled the power of the Broken Soul Blade and had not destroyed Manuel's soul too much. At that moment, both of them were still conscious. Manuel was trembling in pain, but he clenched hi
After a long moment, Marc said as he trembled, "I don't know a lot. What do you want to know…"Before he could finish, Manuel stopped him, "Are you really that spineless? They haven't even started torturing us, and you're already in such a hurry to help them. Don't let me look down on you!"Hearing that, Marc was anxious as well. He mumbled, "What's there to be stubborn about? It's not like I'm betraying our clan, I just don't want to sell my soul for them. I was threatened to come into this place in the first place!"Why do I need to help them guard their secrets?! In the end, I'll die anyway, so why don't I die a quicker death? At least I won't be tortured. It's not like doing this will…"Hearing that, Manuel scoffed, "You really are spineless. Even if it's not for their sake, you have to remember that you're a warrior from a second-grade world. You're not on these people's side. For the sake of your dignity, you shouldn't toy around like that. You're just saying whatever they wa
He really did hit it right on the mark. Those crazy people were far too cruel. Fane took a deep breath as a resolved look showed in his eyes. All of his decisions were right. There were no problems at all. It looked like he would be fighting a long battle with those people after this.If they wanted to survive in this place, they would have to make those people pay. That way, they would be able to reduce the losses and end the slaughter game faster. The others could see that as well.Jackson's face was as white as a sheet of paper. He started to get emotional again as his hands trembled. He even started to lose his footing a bit as he took a deep breath. Barely managing to stop himself from falling to the ground.The others had sour looks on their faces as well. Since Fane's thoughts had been verified, it meant that they had a bitter battle ahead of them. A lot would die from the battle, but dying was still better than being tortured to death. At least they would not go through so m
Before he could finish, someone could be heard from outside, "We found someone!" Fane raised an eyebrow, stopping Marc from continuing as he stood up to head out of the cave.He saw an excited Frederick leading a group of people over. When the group entered the cave, the spacious cave suddenly felt a bit small. Frederick excitedly introduced everyone to Fane.The one in front was the strongest disciple from Frederick's clan. He was one of the four strongest third-grade world warriors that entered the slaughter game. His name was Agelt Wryn. Just from his attire alone, it was easy to tell that he was no ordinary person.Fane nodded at that person. Before they got there, Frederick had already talked about Fane and described Fane's skills as well. Even though Agelt felt like Frederick was exaggerating things, he trusted that Frederick would not exaggerate by that much. Hence, he knew that Fane was definitely no ordinary warrior.When it came to the strong, they all had very similar
After Fane said all of that, the others did not feel anything wrong, but Agelt frowned as an unhappy glint flashed in his eyes. He felt like Fane was being arrogant. Fane did not seem to care about anyone else at all, wanting to use his own strength to solve the problem.Everyone else would just assist him. Agelt took a deep breath, thinking to himself that Fane was unbelievably arrogant. Fane wanted him to be a support member? What gave him the right to decide that?Agelt had never seen Fane's skills and merely felt like Fane was just a better-than-average warrior that could not be compared to himself. Fane saw the unhappiness and disdain in Agelt's eyes and knew what Agelt was thinking. However, Fane did not care.As time passed, Agelt would find out who to put his hopes on. That warrior from White Marsh Continent rubbed his face and sighed, "I don't know how many have been taken away by them, and what they're going through… I was almost captured earlier. Thankfully, I was smart e
In truth, Fane's plan was very simple. To beat the greatest numbers, they had to slowly eliminate their opponents before engaging in the final battle.After Fane gave an overview of his plans, he said something very important."During this period, if they can't stand us fighting back, then they'll give up on controlling the numbers, letting the death toll reach a hundred and twenty, so the slaughter game will end. If we kill enough of them, the number might reach a hundred and twenty as well, and the game will end, signifying we've achieved our goal."Even though everyone's furious at the warriors from the second-grade worlds, you have to remember one thing: everything we're doing now is for the sake of leaving this isolated space so we won't be tortured and killed by then. As long as we're alive, there's still a chance for anything. Don't just focus on killing, and don't ignore your life."As long as enough people die, even if they did not reach their final battle, they would stil
The crowd got more excited as they talked. All of the hatred in their hearts was voiced out. Ever since they interacted with the warriors from second-grade worlds, nothing good ever happened as they ridiculed them.Before, they had to just accept most of it as long as it did not cross the line, but as they felt even more pushed to the corner, they wanted to fight back. Whether it was in this space or after they went out, they would no longer hold back out of fear. That was because they knew very well that fear would just cause them to retreat even more, giving everything to those arrogant warriors from second-grade worlds.Rudy, sitting behind Fane, felt that it was pointless as he watched everyone being emotional. He whispered to Fane, "I feel like they just like talking. Once they go out, they'll start considering a lot more things. They'll never actually end up becoming mortal enemies with the warriors from second-grade worlds. After all, wanting to really fight back comes with a
Manson laughed and said, "We underestimated them, alright. No matter how their skills are, they're quite smart. Still, does it matter that they're working together? They barely pose a threat! Those who have died were cannon fodder to us anyway. They won't affect the greater plan."Those animals who are fighting back need to pay dearly, though. Those who've killed warriors from third-grade worlds will suffer a fate worse than the other warriors. We'll make sure to drag out the time and slowly torture them!"Uriel was always a worrywart. He felt like with what was happening, even they needed to be careful. He walked forward and said to Manson, "You're right, Manson, but I still feel like we should bolster our defenses. Even though they're just fools from third-grade worlds, it won't be too easy to deal with them if too many of them gather."Manson looked at Uriel, smiling as he said, "You're being too cautious. Even if a lot of them are gathered together, it's not like we'll meet them
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.
