With his skills, he could have faced two of his opponents at once. On top of that, he had help by his side. If they did not hurry and run, then endless torture awaited them!
Uriel pulled at the others and started to frantically run away. Fane picked up the pace of his pursuit.
At that moment, Uriel and the others scrambled away like dogs. They were frantically retreating, not even knowing where they were heading. All they knew was that it was the only way they would be able to survive.
After a few moments, Hirving felt a gust of wind behind him.
He turned to look and was absolutely terrified when he saw that Fane was already behind him. Fane aimed the sword in his hand at Hirving's back, and he let out a cry of fear as he sped up. Yet, Fane was even faster than he was.
Intense pain spread throughout his being from where his chest was pierced.
As he looked down, he saw that a gray sword had pierced him, and blood stained his clothes. The next second, the intense pain of his soul being ripped apart spread from his chest to his whole body. He looked like a deflated balloon as he crumbled and fell to the ground.
Fane pulled out his sword and continued to pursue the next one. After an hour, other than Manson who was still struggling on the ground, everyone had died to Fane's sword.
When the dust settled, Fane's companions exchanged looks of shock. They had come as a group but were useless as Fane settled them all.
All they did was stand by the side, intimidating their opponents. They stopped their opponents from attacking Fane together. After all, It would be hard for Fane to handle six at one time.
Fane's expression remained unchanged after he wrapped up everything. He arrived next to Manson before he lifted Manson up and said without turning his head back, "Let's head back. This guy still has his uses. Knowing your enemy is the key to victory. We need to get even more information out of his mouth if we want to be sure of our win!"
Fane's words were like gospel at that moment. Everyone listened to him. Even Agelt listened wholeheartedly. They followed behind Fane, arriving at their cave gathering spot where Rudy and the others remained.
After all, they were inferior in terms of battling and would only be a burden if they followed. It was better for them to wait at a safer location.
When the warriors in the cave saw that Fane and the others were back, they got up excitedly.
They were even more excited when they saw that Fane brought someone with him. After they entered the cave, the warriors waiting there started to ask about the situation.
Some of the warriors that were closer to Agelt hurried forward and said, "Agelt, you've worked hard. Everyone else did, too. You must've had a great victory. You even caught a hostage. With you around, even warriors from second-grade worlds stand no chance!"
Agelt pursed his lips awkwardly, not wanting to accept the praise. After all, they had done nothing other than say a few words. All the glory belonged to Fane.
Yet, there were some who could not tell that Agelt was feeling awkward at that moment.
One of them tried his best to flatter Agelt and said, "You're not injured at all. It looks like the battle ended very quickly! They're not on your level, huh? Did they get scared the moment they saw you?"
