"That's right! You're just a crazy guy. If you want to be crazy, no one will stop you, but don't just think you can drag Trevor along with you! Your victory earlier probably made you confident. Do you think that you're unbeatable right now? Do you think that you can handle nine opponents by yourself? Is killing nine geniuses something that easy for you?"
Fane laughed, suddenly feeling like they were incredibly amusing. He put his hand on his chin, acting like he was thinking for a while before he said, "How did you know what I was thinking? If I didn't think I could beat nine other opponents, why would I participate in the slaughter gambit? Do you think I will die just like you were saying?" After he said that, the disciples of the Pentagram Clan started to laugh, but the laughter did not reach their eyes. It was clear they only did that to mock Fane.
Evan narrowed his eyes and said, "I've never seen anyone as full of himself as you. Did you think we were praising you? Do you really think you're unbeatable? That you can beat nine opponents by yourself?
"How are you going to do that? You're an alchemist. You can't even challenge wandering warriors. How did you think you're good enough to fight against the geniuses from large clans? You'll just be cannon fodder in the slaughter gambit. You might not even be worthy of being called cannon fodder. You're just an idiot to all those geniuses!"
After Evan said that, the other disciples piled on, throwing in nasty insult after nasty insult.
At that moment, Trevor suddenly said," Alright, that's enough. I've already decided to participate in the slaughter gambit.
Fane, I don't care what you're trying to do. I don't care if you want to die or if you're just crazy. Just remember this, you're the one who gave me a chance to kill you.
"Of course, I wouldn't let such a good chance go. Even if there's some danger, that's not a problem. I've walked on the path of the warrior myself, and I've never admitted defeat. This time, I won't lose either!"
After saying that, he walked right toward the transfer array. The Pentagram Clan disciples panicked at that moment as they hurried after Trevor, too focused on trying to talk Trevor out of it to bother with Fane.
However, Trevor was already determined to kill Fane no matter how dangerous the slaughter gambit was. Furthermore, he had a certain level of pride as a chosen disciple of the Pentagram Clan.
The slaughter gambit was sure death for any regular warrior, but he was not a regular warrior. Ever since he entered the Pentagram Clan, he had never slacked off. He worked himself to the bone and became a chosen disciple. He never got any help from the outside.
He had managed to get to where he was thanks to his own talent and pride. He never retreated before this, and he would not be afraid this time either. So what if there was danger? Danger and opportunity came hand in hand!
He refused to believe that the slaughter gambit would kill him. After affirming his own confidence, the words of advice around him became useless. He would definitely take part in the slaughter gambit and kill Fane to relieve his anger!
Looking at Trevor leaving in a hurry, Fane laughed and said, "I just needed to provoke him a little, and he stopped listening to anyone else. It looks like he's quite confident in himself."
Rudy raised an eyebrow and looked at Trevor, "He's not just a little confident, but very much so. I have to say, the other disciples from the Pentagram Clan made sense.
"Someone rational would be able to listen to them, but Trevor’s already possessed with thoughts of killing you. He would never let the chance to kill you slip. With your provocations, he became completely stuck on the idea!"
