Absolute light and darkness represented the powers of life and death. To understand life and death, one had to first feel it. Only by wandering between the lines of life and death would someone understand them better. Only then would they be able to master it even more.
Luther let out a laugh before he said, "Chris and Edward are only so arrogant because they've already managed to master their upper earth rank techniques to proficiency, and are close to perfection.
"They felt like no one other than them could possibly master an upper earth rank technique, let alone reach proficiency or perfection! Their thoughts are a joke. In my eyes, they're just ignorant fools!"
The more Luther spoke, the more emotional he got. He constantly thought about how Chris and Edward looked down on everyone else before they entered the isolated space. Just thinking about that, Luther was furious.
"Isn't it just an upper earth rank technique? Do they think they're the only ones who can learn them? They're a little more talented than I am, but so what? With my own hard work, I managed to be just as accomplished as well.
"This time, I'll be able to go even higher with this slaughter gambit. As long as I have a breakthrough, the two of them are no match for me!"
As he said that, Luther's veins were bulging. His eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets, and he was practically shouting every word.
Fane raised an eyebrow. Luther's words answered all the questions he had. Turns out, Luther joined the slaughter gambit to improve himself. He really did not regard Chris and Edward as anything notable at all.
He felt like they were mere stepping stones for him. It was obvious how hard Luther had worked to get to his level. The more murderous and hungry one was, the more accomplished one could be.
However, they would also be exposed to even more danger comparatively. It would be easy for them to fall into a bad situation. For instance, Luther had made an incredibly wrong decision at that very moment.
After Luther shouted everything out, he felt much better. Even if a complete madman was standing in front of him, at least he had an audience.
Luther composed himself and pursed his lips. He reverted to his calm demeanor and sighed, "Alright, you already know everything you should. Now, I'll give you two choices. Do you want to die in front of me, or do you want my help?"
Hearing that, fane was amused. He raised an eyebrow, not wanting to say anymore. Seeing that Fane was ignoring him, Luther's suppressed anger surfaced again.
Luther snorted, "I was being too nice to you! Since you refuse to accept my kindness, don't blame me for being rude!"
After he said that, the blades in his hand pointed right at Fane's forehead. Fane did not react too much at that, but the spectators outside burst out in an uproar.
"No wonder this guy is so confident, he's using an upper earth rank technique! I was even wondering before why Luther was participating in this. Does he really not know the dangers? Now it looks like this guy is just daring. In order to improve himself, he's putting his life on the line!"
