Raul pursed his lips in exasperation. This kid…was truly something else.
He initially thought that Fane was just a brainless fool with how Fane looked down on him. Surprisingly, Fane proved to be much worse over time.
Raul narrowed his eyes. "I had planned on torturing both you and Alfred slowly to death, but I've changed my mind now. Punishing you as gently as I did with Alfred would be too kind for you, so I have a hundred crueler ways to deal with you. It's the price you pay for being arrogant."
Fane calmly listened to everything he said. A thought flashed in Fane's head, and he suddenly smirked and said, "I saw you attacking earlier. You were using a soul attribute technique. Are you a soul attribute warrior?"
Guzman had been from Sacred Water Continent and had used the soul attribute as well. The man in front of him also used the soul attribute, so Fane could not help but wonder if the Sacred Water Continent had a lot of soul attribute techniques and soul attribute warriors.
Raul raised an eyebrow as he looked at Fane with interest, wanting to see what he would say.
Smiling, Fane said calmly, "What a coincidence; I'm a soul attribute warrior as well and use a soul attribute technique. Since that's the case, why don't we compete? If I lose, I'll give you something. If I win, you'll give me your treasure."
Raul did not expect that Fane would dare to challenge him, and moreover, he could not believe that he was a soul attribute warrior as well. In Raul's eyes, the soul attribute was sacred.
Warriors that were not talented were not worthy of the soul attribute at all, and all soul attribute warriors were incredibly talented. However, he was forced to revise that opinion.
To him, Fane was from Hestia and thus had no right to use the soul attribute.
However, there was no way Fane was lying at that moment. When he realized that, Raul stared at Fane unhappily, "Even you can learn the soul attribute?"
Upon hearing this, Fane could not help but chuckle. Not too long ago, a warrior from the Sacred Water Continent had said the same thing. Fane had spoken back at that moment, but when facing Raul, he only felt amused.
After all, that warrior was going through excruciating torture as his soul was being ripped apart at that moment, and it would not be long until he perished.
With that thought in mind, a message suddenly flashed in Fane's head. The message indicated that Fane had obtained five million spirit crystals. His eyes lit up as he understood what happened.
It seemed that Guzman was dead, and five million was given to him as a reward for that. Once he left the isolated space, the spirit crystals would appear before him.
Fane took a deep breath as he stared at Raul with interest. "You'll know whether or not I'm worthy of the soul attribute soon enough. However, it would be meaningless if we just fight over it.
"A spatial ring is someone's personal space. Other than the owner, no one else can open it. The moment that person dies, the spatial ring's space will collapse. All the treasure inside will turn to dust as the space collapses, leaving nothing behind. However, if we take it out beforehand, it won't disappear from that. Why don't we make a bet?
"I'll take out a treasure, and you need to take out one of equal value. We'll treat it as a bet. If you win, you won't just get to kill me, but you'll get my treasure as well. If you die, the same will apply for me. What do you think?"
