Fane turned around and looked at Rudy meaningfully. He felt like Rudy had been dealt some heavy blows. He never planned on doing all of that to Rudy, but it was all the truth.
He looked at Rudy earnestly, "Don't worry, it's not just you. There are plenty of people who don't know what comes after the ultimate god rank. You've never been someone focused on walking the path of a warrior. Your talents lie in alchemy."
Fane's consolation proved useful. Rudy nodded, "You're right, I've never chosen this pass. Then why don't you teach me right now? I really want to know what rank lies above it."
Fane said honestly, "Above the ultimate god rank is the storm god rank. The storm god rank isn't split up into levels. There are no weak techniques in that rank.
Rudy looked up and said, "The storm god rank… I feel like it's so far away from me."
After he said that, Rudy laughed in self mockery.
It was not just storm god rank techniques that were far away from him, even ultimate god rank techniques were far beyond his reach. Ever since he got to know Fane, he noticed that he was demanding more and more of himself. He should already have been considered quite exceptional if he managed to use an ultimate god rank technique.
Thinking about that, he shook his head. He tossed those wild ideas aside before he looked at Fane and said, "So you're planning on learning a storm god rank technique?"
Fane straightened his body and looked around. The middle city was incredibly vast. Most of it was fairly deserted. Only a small area was filled with warriors. They were in one of the deserted areas.
Looking around, they were the only living beings around. It should be very safe, but thinking about it, Fane still shook his head, "Let's go find somewhere to practice after we enter the inner city!"
Rudy raised his eyebrow in surprise. He looked around in alarm, but could not see anything other than the two of them.
Rudy said curiously, "It's quite safe here, but you don't seem to think so?"
Fane took a deep breath, "It looks safe, but it doesn't mean it actually is safe. After exiting the slaughter gambit, I keep on feeling like we've been followed by quite a few people. My performance had been too eye-catching. It's caught quite a bit of attention.
"Furthermore, I killed Chris and the others. The clans they're from will definitely hate me. We're surrounded by enemies at the moment, so it's better to be safe. The inner city will be different.
"There are various conditions someone needs to fulfill before they can enter the inner city. It's not somewhere everyone can just enter. We'll go in through a transfer array as well. As long as we're careful enough and we move quickly, we can slip away from those eyes that are following us!"
After determining his plans, Fane no longer hesitated to bring Rudy to the transfer array towards the inner city. After obtaining the bronze badge, he had gotten the right to enter the inner city. Furthermore, the bronze badge allowed him to bring two others into the city with him.
The way to the transfer array was incredibly smooth. There were no sudden troublesome matters that popped up. After a transfer of six hours, they arrived in the inner city. Six whole hours had been needed for the journey. It was a long distance transfer, and it was obvious how far they had gone.
