Fane narrowed his eyes, naturally not answering his question. With a wave of his sword, a pitch-black slash headed right toward the tall man's forehead.
The tall man raised his sword to stop it, but his skill was nothing compared to Fane's Destroying the Void. With a clash, the slash shattered the tall man's sword.
The black glow entered the tall man's forehead in a flash. Fane did not hold back at the slash. Before the man could even cry out in pain, his soul was completely shattered. He fell from the air and slammed onto the ground just like the scarred man.
Looking down, his chest was no longer moving. He was already dead. Rudy was so scared his breathing had even stopped. He was shuddering and sobbing, not reacting to anything at all.
Fane grabbed Rudy's arm, "Quit dreaming. Let's leave this place right now!"
Rudy was pulled by Fane just like that, as they ran toward the northern direction. The two of them advanced for three hours before they stopped. Only then did Rudy snap back to reality.
Fane glanced at Rudy, "It's not like you've never had your life on the line before. It's just two people, do you need to react like this?"
Rudy shuddered, slowly composing himself. His body
was still trembling slightly, but he slowly started to speak, "I was just frightened. I never expected to encounter something like this the moment we entered the Whirling World. If you were any later, I'd definitely have been killed by that guy. This is the closest I've ever been to dying!"
Those words actually reminded Fane that, even though Rudy knew how to fight, he was still an alchemist in the end. Rudy merely learned combat to extend his life. He had never gone through a true battle.
