It was so quick, and they were not far away with. Even a chosen disciple from their clan would not be able to avoid it, let alone the tiger-masked man.
The man let out a cry of agony in the air. He clutched his chest with his hands as his face suddenly paled. Right after that, he seemed to lose all his energy as he fell to the ground.
With a bang, the man fell face first onto the ground. Frederick was stunned. He had his mouth widened as he held his weapon with both his hands. His whole body stiffened.
After a long moment, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dreaming. Then, he let out an elated expression as he said, "He's actually so strong! We really picked up a treasure! It looks like we're saved!"
As he said that, he sounded a little choked up. Before Fane appeared, he had already planned for the worst. In the worst case, he would just kill himself before he fell. Then, he would not need to be tortured.
However, he felt reluctant to even entertain the thought, but there was nothing he could do about it. Reality would not change just because he was reluctant. He just never expected to suddenly see a glimmer of hope.
After the masked man fell on the ground, he constantly rolled around in pain. He could not stop his cries of agony. Other than Fane, the others shivered when they heard those cries.
It was easy to see how much torture the masked man was going through from those cries. The other two masked man started to look at Fane differently. The disdain was already gone from their faces. All there was left was fear and shock.
Fane walked forward and looked at the two of them, "You asked me why I was laughing earlier. Let me explain it to you know. It's just that the two of you said the exact same thing as the other two masked men earlier."
The moment he said that, the two remaining masked men could no longer remain calm. They suddenly understood everything. Their companions had not gone and done something else, but had died to Fane. The two of them took a step back.
They no longer had any other thoughts in mind. They just wanted to hurry up and leave. Fane was too horrifying. Their companions had already died to him, so the two of them would definitely struggle. Even if they were lucky enough to not die from Fane, there was still the other three.
If all four of them worked together, it would be incredibly difficult for the two masked men to run. They exchanged a look, and could see what each other was thinking. Neither of them spoke as they started to retreat, attempting to distance themselves from Fane.
However, Fane was no idiot. He would not let them just run like that. He looked at Frederick, "What are you all staring at? Don't you see that those two are trying to run? Go stop them!"
Only then did Frederick react. He immediately moved to stop the two of them, but the two of them were already ready. If they did not run at that moment,, they would not be able to again.
For the sake of surviving, they put in everything they had. Frederick and the others attacked with full force as well, but they were still beaten back by the two. Fane could not help but shake his head at the sight.
However, the two of them were still delayed enough to give Fane enough time to do something. Fane activated the laws of space and disappeared from the spot.
When he appeared again, he was behind the two of them. They were terrified when they saw Fane suddenly appearing.
