The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 3652

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. After all, the transfer array sent us all to different places.

"Even though the fog obscured everything here, it's not that large of a place, and the geography never changes. A lot of warriors enter the fog battlefield as well. Some of you probably questioned the warriors who had entered before and drew a simple map. You used that map to replace a gathering spot."

It had been easy to figure out their plan. Fane had heard a lot of talk on the way from Cloud Valley. Some of the chatter involved people wanting to buy maps. When he heard that, everything became clear.

Unfortunately, Case was too busy thinking of how he would torture Fane to death. Even after he heard those conversations, he did not think too much about it. He never expected that Fane would be able to guess their whole plan just from hearing that.

15 warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent entered the fog battlefield. Fane happened to meet one and learned where they were headed from there. After that, it went much easier. A total of six warriors had died in Fane's hands.

Case thought that his plan was foolproof, but Fane had seen through it from the start.

Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked at Case, the scorn in his eyes almost palpable.

Case took a deep breath. "You won't beat us! No matter how strong you are, there are nine of us here. You're already injured, right? The injuries aren't light either! Stop acting all-powerful, thinking that you can fool us. While you were talking just now, you were trying to regulate your breathing. You were trying to use your true energy to stabilize your wounds while talking to us."

Fane raised an eyebrow, not denying it. He had to say that Case's observational skills were decent.

Case was right; his injuries were relatively heavy. His injuries were even worse than Jimmy's. He underestimated how strong the nine of them were together.

Even though the Soul Burst Ring had taken the brunt of the attack, Fane was still injured. When he had been sent flying earlier, Fane felt his ribs breaking. He was only able to stand there because his injuries were still not enough to be considered heavy and also because he wanted to complete his plan.

Case was not planning on letting him off, and he was not planning on letting them off either.

Case smirked as he looked at Fane with a sharp gaze.

"I can't believe you accepted that. It looks like your injuries aren't light after all! Since that's the case, you should understand the situation you're in. If you want to blame anything, then blame yourself. You were too confident in yourself. Otherwise, it'd be very easy for you to go against the Swelling Tide Continent with your ability."
