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.
When they said that, no one dared to continue the discussion. The more they talked about it, the more ominous it felt. Moreover, they felt like the matter was just too crazy.At that moment, the red-haired man's voice was heard again. "Case and the rest have all died. Those skeleton badges were all theirs. All fifteen of them died to him…"The moment that was said, everyone fell into a strange silence as their gazes turned to the man once more. The red-haired man was looking at Fane's back with an expression of fear and reverence. The emotion in his eyes was incredibly complicated.However, everyone could see the deep fear he had. It was not fake; it was true-born.Everyone finally understood what the red-haired man said earlier. The red-haired man said that they would not believe it if he said it but that they would understand soon. He was right.Before Fane arrived, they would have thought that the red-haired man was crazy if he said that Fane killed all 15 opponents on his own.
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.
