"I guess I still underestimated the nine of you," a familiar voice was heard from ahead.Fane appeared in front of them again.At that moment, the nine of them were no longer as prideful in his presence. They seemed to all back off at the same moment, a subconscious movement caused by their fear.Case gulped. No matter how proud he was, no matter how much he looked down on warriors from third-grade worlds, he had just seen Fane's tremendous strength. He could not look down on Fane at all. He had to concede that he was incredibly strong.He gritted his teeth and said, "If I knew your truest potential, I would've never gone against you. Ugh, can't go back and change things now… There's only one thing to do now."As he said all of that, Case's eyes widened as he glared right at Fane. At that moment, Fane's complexion was slightly paler than before. He was clearly injured, yet he managed to somehow stand.Case could not tell if Fane's injuries were heavy, but the situation was bad fo
Before this, Case and the others were so confident in assuming that Fane was just full of himself, that he had been caught up by his own words and forced to join the fog battlefield with them. Thinking about it, they truly did assume too much.Fane had not felt like they were worth his notice at all. Entering the fog battlefield with them was just so he would be able to get the skeleton badges from them to exchange for treasures. They were the pompous ones.Case inhaled deeply. He felt his whole body tremble in utter humiliation.Fane sneered and said, "Your so-called plan wasn't smart at all. Anyone who thought about it would be able to see through it. You gathered so many people, and it's obvious that it's a pact to kill me. Since you want to work together, you'd need to gather yourselves, or it'd be useless. It's not easy to gather in the fog battlefield."Fane reached out and touched the dense fog. "The fog obscures sight and sound, so the hardest part of your plan is to gather
Fane laughed. His expression returned to the calm one he always had.Case's words did not get that much of a reaction from Fane. Case was starting to feel frustrated again when he saw Fane's expression.He hated seeing Fane look so confident as if nothing that happened would affect him. He was always sure that Fane was just good at keeping up an act, and he still felt that way.After all, the nine of them had wounded Fane. No matter how strong he was, it would not change the truth. If Fane continued to fight against them, he would definitely lose. The fact that Fane still had a look of nonchalance had to be faked.Jimmy gritted his teeth and snarled, "Hey! I told you you'll suffer, and now, it's time. We won't let you off. You've killed six of ours, and we'll make you pay for it a thousand times over. We'll do everything we can to get your Heartblood so you'll learn the consequences of offending us. Even if you're strong, we'll still torture you until you die!"He hated the man in
Right at that moment, a black mist rose behind Fane's body. The dense seals increased as well.In just a few breaths, the gray mist was already taller than a person. Slowly, it formed into the figure of a human that looked a lot like Fane. At that moment, Fane looked up and said coldly, "You're not the only one who got something from Cloud Valley!"Right after he said that, he formed seals again. An intense power came from the world avatar behind Fane, fusing with those seals he formed.A world avatar was able to increase a warrior's power. Furthermore, Fane had fully completed his with an error in any of his 96 seals. He took a deep breath, and a golden glow came from his eyes.He shouted, "This is my strongest state!"Case reacted at that point, but it was already too late. At that moment, he had launched his attack. Even if he wanted to run, he could not possibly escape at such a close distance.He never thought of this before. After all, he had thought that Fane could not hav
The more Case laughed, the more exaggerated it became to the point he started coughing. He felt like he had lost all his strength as he collapsed.He raised his fist. "I can't believe I'm dying here. I can't believe I'm going to die to you like this. It's so humiliating... I thought I was smart, but I was a fool all along."The fog battlefield was open for one day. After one day, everyone that was alive would be sent out one at a time. No one knew why the fog battlefield had that rule, but unlike other challenges where everyone would be sent out together after the challenge ended, they would be sent out one at a time. After one person was sent out, the next person would be sent out after a period.At that moment, a few people were talking in the plaza, debating on how many warriors would walk out alive from the battlefield.The round-faced man eagerly awaited. He merely hoped that the red-haired man would be self-aware enough to avoid any danger. Otherwise, he would never survive i
Looking at the red-haired man's expression, it was obvious that he was involved in a perilous situation though managed to survive in the end. To the round-faced man, it was enough of a fortune.The red-haired man took a deep breath. He looked rather dazed as he walked off the transfer array, wobbling in his steps. If someone was to look, even his eyes were trembling. His breathing was uneven, and it was evident something roughed him up.Initially, the round-faced man's words attracted all the attention, so no one noticed what was wrong with the red-haired man. However, the red-haired man's behavior grew even more particular, and everyone slowly realized this."What happened to that guy? He looks like he went through something terrifying. Was he chased?" muttered a warrior from a third-grade world.His fellow disciple next to him said with a frown, "I don't think so. If that were the case, he'd be incredibly glad that he survived. He'd be relieved and happy, but we see that it's not
The round-faced man noticed that the red-haired man still looked shocked, and he started to feel anxious. He reached out and lightly patted the red-haired man. At that moment, he regretted letting his curiosity take over. He was not thinking about the red-haired man's condition at all.The red-haired man was probably traumatized, and the memory might just torture him.Just as the round-faced man was consoling the red-haired man and planning on telling him he did not need to answer, the red-haired man finally said, "What kind of treasure do you think fifteen skeleton badges would get you?"The moment he said that, everyone was stunned. He had not been able to speak for so long, but that was the first thing he asked?Someone coughed and answered seriously, "It should get you a treasure that's at least worth seventy million, or even over a hundred million. Ever since the fog battlefield started, no one has ever gotten so many skeleton badges."The fog battlefield was unique compared
After that person said that, he turned to look at the red-haired man only to see him with eyes widened. The man's whole body was trembling, and his expression was a bit twisted. It was as if he was affected even more. Slowly, everyone started to notice how strangely the man was acting.When the red-haired man first walked out of the array, even though he looked like he was shocked, he looked relatively 'normal'. Ever since Fane walked out of the transfer array, however, the man looked like he was looking at a ghost.His whole body was trembling. It was obvious that something was wrong with him. There was a stir among the warriors there. Everyone was incredibly curious.Some of them scratched their heads, wondering what happened for the red-haired man to be so emotional. They wondered why the masked man was able to leave the fog battlefield in perfect condition as well.It was as if he had not entered the fog battlefield but his own garden. He had just left after a leisurely stroll.
