Lourain clenched his teeth and shouted out, "Take this!" He started to form seals that danced in the air. A purple moon suddenly appeared.Under the purple light, Lourain's sword glowed vibrantly. It was as if the sword had been covered in a purple sash. Feeling it, one could sense the rich amount of power around his sword.In particular, where the purple light glowed was filled with energy. At that moment, Lourain was just furious. He looked like his whole family had been slaughtered in a single day. He clenched his teeth and rushed at the clone, "How dare you laugh at me?! Just die!"He held his sword and raised it high, aiming right at the clone. When he struck down, a purple slash headed right for the clone's chest! The clone suddenly frowned like a human, as if it had encountered a problem.It raised its sword and slashed forward as well, but it was still using the fifth stance. Right after that, there was a massive explosion. The replica had not been able to stand up to the
Fane frowned, "It's all down to this!" He rushed forward, running right at his clone. He pushed his hands forward, and the Soul Burst Ring exploded toward Fane.When the replica saw Fane's Soul Burst Ring, its eyes widened slightly. It seemed surprised and confused. However, it did not hesitate for too long. It merely stopped for a moment before starting to form seals again. The Broken Soul Blade appeared right in front of it again.Fane's lips curled up at the sight. It looked like he was right! It really was just that simple.Bang!With a loud explosion, the Broken Soul Blade and the Soul Burst Ring clashed together violently. All that soul energy in the Broken Soul Blade was crashing into the Soul Burst Ring without any reservation.When the Soul Burst Ring touched the Broken Soul Blade, it suddenly expanded and swallowed the Broken Soul Blade Whole.After that, there was an intense explosion. Two energies of the same power were trying to fight each other at that moment. It
He thought that they would have been thrown out like trash just like those before them. Not a single one of them could accept that.The three of them were silent for a long time before Lourain said, "I was so scared. I thought we would lose. I even started to feel like this stage was just to confuse us, that there is no way to pass at all!"Fane had thought so as well at one point. The same weapons, the same techniques, and the same person. It was the most equal of opponents. In that situation, they did not know how to pass at all.Marth coughed and said, "I guess I was overthinking. We thought the fake clone used everything we knew, but that was not the case. We just needed to use our strongest technique…"Lourain nodded. When they were at their wit's end, they had managed to find a new lease on life. Fane shook his head, disagreeing with Marth, "It's not like that. If all of us had used all our power during the wood attribute killing array, then this stage would be completely imp
Lourain and Marth exchanged glances before they sat to rest as well, not daring to slack off at all. Before this, they thought that Fane would be the primary target and that the two of them would not affect the situation that much, but it did not seem to be a certainty at this point. No one knew what would happen in the next round.All three of them sat and rested for a whole half an hour before they got up to continue. This time, no one wasted time with words. They were on full alert as they faced the next challenge.When Fane walked another seven steps forward, all three of them held their breaths at the same time. Their eyes were wide open as their gazes darted everywhere, trying to observe every little change in their surroundings. However, they were surprised to notice that it was quiet around them.Nothing changed at all, and they could not even hear a peep. It was so quiet that it seemed like nothing happened. However, the three of them would not be so stupid to assume that t
At that moment, Marth looked like he was going crazy from anger. He glared at Lourain viciously. Lourain would not back down either.The two of them glared at each other hatefully, as if they were mortal enemies.The hatred in their hearts had reached its limit. Marth narrowed his eyes, raising his sword as well. With Lourain in front of him, all his focus was on him.From the moment he met Lourain, the two of them never got along. They always fought each other and had countless arguments as well. Marth felt like he never hated a person so much in his life. If he could, he wanted to skin Lourain alive.Marth shouted, "Don't think I can't kill you, Lourain. You can't anger me more than I already am. Even if I have to put my life on the line, I won't let you get through this easily! I'm no weaker than you in a battle to the death!"As he said that, Marth seemed to radiate with frustration. Lourain narrowed his eyes as he looked at Marth in disdain. He had a hint of mockery in his ey
Fane furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Marth coldly. At that moment, Marth's face was red, and even his expression looked twisted. It was as if Lourain's words ignited a raging fire within him, cursing him to lose control of his emotions.Lourain snapped after hearing Marth's words. He immediately shouted in his defense, "Fane, I'm telling you, I've never been afraid of you! I admit that you're stronger than me, but don't think you can kill me just because of that. I know people stronger than you, and they'll protect me when needed."You don't dare to kill me in here, and you can't kill me when we get out thanks to the rules either. You're just wearing a mask because you're afraid that your identity will be exposed. If you don't let me go, I'll spread the word. Even if I die, I'll make sure you won't have a good time!"Lourain's eyes reddened completely. At that moment, he had lost himself as well. He did not even care if he lived or died anymore, as long as he made sure to voice
Marth started to get anxious at the sight. He might be able to deal with Lourain if he decided to actually wager his life to fight the man, but he would need to pay for it with his life. Fane was different. With Fane's skills, dealing with a pest such as Lourain would be easy.Marth's lips twitched before he hissed, "Get him, Fane! We can't let this guy off. Just listen to what he's saying. Once he gets out, he'll spread your secrets. It'll cause a lot of trouble after that."Your enemies will find you, and you'll have a lot of problems. It'll be too late by then. We need to deal with him right now to prevent that!"Lourain gritted his teeth loudly as he said loudly, "Marth, listen here: even if Fane kills me, I'll make sure to drag you down with me. You won't get off so easily! I'll rip you apart!""Shut up right now!" shouted Fane. "Calm down, and listen to me!"The two of them went silent at the same time as they looked at Fane curiously. Fane raised his voice and said seriousl
"Listen, both of you. No matter how angry you get, you better keep yourself in check. From this moment on, don't say a word. Just sit and rest with me. Circulate the energy in your body and try to see if there are any problems in your system."The two of them nodded, realizing how bad the problem was as well. If they continued letting the array control their emotions, they could very well lose their lives.Even though they lost their temper earlier, they retained some rationality after Fane's words. The three of them thus sat down and started to inspect their bodies.Fane felt like the fire killing array would probably not be able to affect their mental state directly. It probably started to affect their bodies without them knowing, causing them to lose control of their emotions. Fane closed his eyes and circulated his soul energy around his body.Time slowly ticked away. After 15 minutes, Fane opened his eyes abruptly. "So it's here!"When his soul energy flowed close to his hear
