He had only condensed 30 Soul Swords, but it was equivalent to the first stage of mastery. Using the first stage of Destroying the Void, he had stood up to Chris and Edward's full might. Fane deliberately leaked out some killing intent so Chris and Edward had the chance to react.
He did so because he wanted to test how powerful 30 Soul Swords would be, but he was left with only disappointment. He had thought that he would be able to kill off Edward instantly with that attack, but not only had Edward survived, but he even managed to consume a pill to stabilize his injuries.
He could feel the power of Destroying the Void left in Edward's body being forcefully suppressed. Even though it was still eating at Edward's soul, the speed of consumption was much slower.
Fane sighed as he shook his head in disappointment. He had thought that an upper ultimate god rank technique would be unstoppable against the two of them, even at the first stage. The reality displeased him.
If Chris knew of Fane's thoughts at that moment, Chris would have spat out blood in anger. At that moment, Chris' mood was in disarray. He was not willing to believe everything that had happened, but he was forced to.
Both he and Edward had misjudged the situation. The hidden expert had not been Souza but Fane all along. Chris could not accept that fact at all.
What was Fane? Was he not just an alchemist? How was Fane so strong?!
He was using an upper earth rank technique. Consuming Slash could even be considered a slightly weaker lower ultimate god rank technique. Based on what he knew, the Ice Breaker that Edward used was about equal to his technique. They were both upper earth rank techniques close to ultimate god rank!
After feeling Fane's killing intent, both Chris and Edward reacted immediately. He had first struck out and used a lot of power in his Consuming Slash. It was not at his full strength, but there was still 90 percent of his power.
Edward had erected his ice pillars in front of him.
