There was only one thing he knew. It was impossible to break the array just by relying on constantly killing the wind beast.
"Fane, why are the wind beasts not attacking me?" Rudy said to Fane.
Fane had pushed Rudy behind him earlier, but as time passed, Rudy realized in surprise that those wind beasts did not seem to see him at all. All of the attacks fell on the warriors that relied on themselves to enter the fifth level.
He was completely ignored as a dependent. Even without Fane's protection, the wind beasts ignored him anyway, not attacking him. That actually gave Fane more room to relax, not needing to protect Rudy.
"Everyone, quickly figure something out! We can let this go on, or all of us will be eliminated!"
"I can't hold on any longer..." A man from the Deer Pavilion let out a cry of misery.
Right after he said that a wind beast bit him on the arm. The wind beast's bite was incredibly strong. With a pull, it ripped that man's arm off.
The disciple of the Deer Pavilion let out a cry of agony. At that moment, his entire body weakened from the injury. He was pushed down by the charging wind beasts and had his head ripped off in a flash.
Everyone saw that sight and suddenly felt a chill on their backs. After that disciple died, the space in front of him suddenly distorted as he turned into gray specs of light, entering the distorted space in front of him.
That meant that the person had already lost, and was kicked out. Other than Fane, everyone had a dark look on their faces. That was just the beginning.
There were more and more people after that who fell to the wind beasts' attacks either because they let down their guard or they had used up all their true energy. After they were killed by the wind beasts, they were eliminated in the same way.
All of those warriors had managed to get to the fifth level because of their exceptional talents and extraordinary skills. All of them naturally had the arrogance of a strong warrior, so all of them wanted to be the sole victor!
Yet, the more they wanted to be the victor, the more they panicked. After all, they still had not figured out the situation at that moment.
The victor needed to break the array, but none of them knew what the array was! There was no way they could break the array. Just as everyone was feeling lost, a shout was heard in the distance, "I understand now. I remember! So that's how it is!"
Fane was the one who said all of that. At that moment, he was waving his sword around and shouting in excitement.
After that disciple of the Deer Pavilion had died, Fane had seen everything that had happened. He remembered something when he saw the disciple turn into gray specs of light and get absorbed by the space.
It was thanks to the memories of the ancient heroes. Those warriors had seen uncountable arrays. After the array activated again, Fane immediately figured it out.
He had thought that the array was incredibly special, but it had been so simple. He suddenly felt like his judgment had been clouded by the excitement, but his sudden exclamation was met with eye rolls.
They felt like Fane was just shouting for no reason. After all, no one even had any clues, but Fane was shouting that he remembered it. Everyone felt like Fane was being too sly...
