At that moment, footsteps were heard coming from afar, and Fane, Rudy, and Alfred jumped at the sound alertly. Fane frowned as he looked in the direction of these footsteps, but before they could see clearly, someone shouted out, "Don't be alarmed! The four of us are from third-grade worlds."
At that moment, a genial-looking man in gray robes came out with three warriors from third-grade worlds behind him. The group walked toward Fane gingerly.
Fane stared at the person for a good while before nodding at him. After the four of them walked over, they greeted each other before revealing their origins.
Their group had been temporarily formed. The one who first walked was called Frederick Gaunt from the Lycan Continent, a third-grade world. The three behind him were Len Davis and Trent Walker from Chaos Continent, as well as Conor Rice from White Marsh Continent.
The four of them happened to meet and decided to form a small alliance. Them approaching Fane and his company was because they wanted to team up with them and face the hunting alliance together.
The moment they mentioned the hunting alliance, Fane raised an eyebrow. A thought flashed in his mind.
Before Fane could ask, Frederick patiently explained, "Those insolent people from second-grade worlds formed a hunting alliance to keep themselves safe. All of them split up into smaller teams to kill off the warriors from third-grade worlds.
"They see us as prey, as animals. Not only are they killing us, but they're torturing us as well. It's not like we have any grudges against them, but they're adamant in doing this!"
Frederick's eyes reddened as he spoke, and it was obvious how angry he was with the way he gritted his teeth.
Fane furrowed his eyebrows, not entirely understanding the entire story. However, he did not voice out his questions and kept quiet.
