Nonetheless, they could not say anything at that moment. After all, no one was focused on Fane.
Elder Godfrey was taken aback when he realized Fane had sneaked up behind him. Did something happen?
"Did something happen?" whispered Elder Godfrey.
Fane, knowing he could not evade this, nodded at the elder. "No need to ask for now. You'll find out in a moment."
When he heard Fane say that, Elder Godfrey was even more confused, but he did not persist on the matter. Lennon's breath was slowly getting more erratic with his collar being grabbed in such a manner.
He felt like Skylar might actually kill him on the spot if he did not make things clear, so he pointed at the peak of the Divine Void Slope.
"The final battle was one between the two strongest among us. Royce couldn't stand up to Fane, and Fane killed him in one blow." Lennon used the most abbreviated version of everything that had happened.
However, the others were confused when they heard this. Royce had been killed in one blow, and it was nowhere random, either, the place being the peak of the Divine Void Slope. All the elders had already ascertained the rules before they got there.
Naturally, they knew that climbing to the top of the Divine Void Slope was an incredibly perilous road. There were countless obstacles, and only the two strongest could stand at the top for a final battle.
It was nothing peculiar to hear Royce having reach the peak. It was only natural, seeing as he was definitely at the helm of all the disciples there. All that and even with his impressive skills, however...he had lost and, what more, killed in one strike!
Losing and being killed were two different matters. Being able to kill the other party required one to be much stronger!
"Who is Fane?" Skylar shouted.
