Fane had done that earlier to trick those who were watching his battle. Fane wanted everyone to think that the slash had expended all its energy and dispersed in the air instead of him dispersing it.
After all, if the truth was revealed, there would be no reason to continue the fight. David was completely stiff. He remained floating in the air, but his eyes started to lose their calm for the first time. They quickly reddened as he started to look like a ghost that just climbed out of hell.
His lips constantly twitched, and he seemed like he was constantly burning with intense rage. He stared at Fane viciously, wanting to curse at Fane, but not able to find a reason.
All those things he had said to insult Fane before this had suddenly lost their meaning. Fane was not trash, but a warrior that could stand on an even footing against him. Fane was not just an alchemist, but a warrior that could rival him.
He could not help but place Fane in the rankings of the Frenzied Blade Clan. Based on what Fane had shown thus far, Fane would at least be in the top ten! Just thinking about that caused David's face to twist.
All of that had completely shattered his prior experiences. When were alchemists ever able to do all that? Since when did alchemists end up being at the same level as him in combat?!
The more David thought about it, the angrier David got. He really wanted to just slice Fane up, but it was not that easy! He composed himself for a long time before he widened his eyes and said, "Even if you weren't lying, you still intentionally put on an act before. You wanted to mislead us so you would be able to shock us at times like this. You really are full of tricks. I've never met a warrior as dishonorable as you before!"
Fane's lips twitched in exasperation when he heard that. Even if he did not lie, he was still putting on an act.
Fane snorted, "You've already completely muddled up the truth. Since I didn't lie, how was I putting on an act? You've already been completely blinded by your hatred. You refused to acknowledge my skills, insisting on blaming me.
"Why can't you just admit that you were blind? I've never hidden anything from anyone, it was just you who had thought that my actions were crazy. After that, you even constantly ridiculed me in the waiting area, saying that you'd show me your skills…"
As he said that, Fane let out a laugh. He looked at David coldly, "Well, I've seen your skills now. It's nothing special!"
David was absolutely furious. His face started to swell in anger as he clenched his teeth, "Don't think that you can win just because you were capable of facing me head-on. I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Don't get too excited!"
David had said all of that through clenched teeth. It was obvious how angered he was. They were facing each other in the isolated space, and outside the isolated space, the viewing area was in an uproar.
The fight was constantly changing, and their mood was with it. It started with everyone thinking they would be evenly matched to them siding with Fane after seeing Fane use the laws of space.
After that, they saw that David had suppressed Fane's technique, and the odds seemed to be in David's favor. The situation had been overturned yet again. After experiencing everything, all of them were incredibly excited!
"Oh my! This is entertaining! I thought that Fane rushing at the thunder would have been his last move! Yet, he was actually able to face that attack head-on without any fear!”
