Warriors that were more cowardly would immediately have a mental collapse just from the aura of this place alone.
Rudy's skills were below average, and he would be able to stay at a level eight city at the most. He had relied on Fane to get this far. Even though he was not that cowardly, he was still affected by the atmosphere.
His hands trembled slightly, and his breathing grew erratic. He followed closely behind Fane, not even daring to breathe deeply, and a dreadful feeling—as though he was about to die—encompassed him. He felt like he would be killed at any moment, leaving the world forever.
Rudy's voice trembled slightly. "Fane, walk slower. I can't keep up. This place is just too scary. Chaos City is a completely different world than I thought."
Fane did not know how vast Chaos City was, but he could not see the city walls after entering. It was an endless wasteland around them. The blood moon hung in the air, and everything felt very ominous. It was as if zombies would jump out at any moment.
Fane smiled helplessly. "If you can't take it, enter Mustard Seed for now. I can handle things myself."
Fane saying that was a bit redundant.
Even if Rudy was next to him, he would not be able to help anyway. He was a burden that could just help with a couple of words at most. He might not even say the right things. Rudy's hands shook constantly, and he nodded after thinking about it. There was no point in him staying outside anyway; he would just gain some experience at most.
At that moment, Fane raised his head and coldly looked forward. Rudy immediately hid behind Fane, not even daring to look past his shoulders. Footsteps could be heard from the front. Two figures, one plump and one slim, slowly got closer.
The fatter one crossed his arms as he smiled at his skinny companion. "I told you our luck will hold out! You refused to believe me! Just look at those two in front of us. One of them is clearly trash. I can't tell how strong the other is, but it's obvious he's from a third-grade world. How lucky we are!"
The two of them talked to each other without fear, completely looking down on Fane and Rudy. The skinny man nodded and looked at Rudy, who was behind Fane. After looking at Rudy for a long time, he looked at Fane. "Brat. What were you thinking of, coming to a place like this? You came with a useless person, too. Are you just looking to die quicker? Even though we might not earn anything much from killing the two of you, some spirit crystals are better than nothing!"
Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked at the two in front of him coldly.
The fat man laughed. "Let me teach the two of you a lesson today, especially in what 'regret' means. Warriors of your caliber should have just gone to Cloud City. You might've been able to survive that way. You insisted on coming here, so don't blame us for this!"
He took out a meter long sword from his spatial storage as he said that. He had a big smile on his face, looking at Fane like a trapped rabbit.
The thin man took out his weapon as well. It was a golden whip.
Fane raised an eyebrow, finally responding to the two of them, "Just our luck, then. We bumped into two warriors that have nothing."
The two of them looked aggressive, but they did not have any golden circles around them, signifying they did not have any golden keys. If those two had not challenged them, Fane would not have bothered to even fight.
The two of them were stunned at what Fane had said. Was he insane? Did he just say they had nothing? What was the meaning of that?!
However, Fane did not give them any time to think. He formed seals with his hands, and 100 Soul Swords materialized in the air. Fane waved, and the swords merged into two swords. He aimed one at each person.
