However, he still had his wits about him. It was not the time to be overcome with emotion. He looked at Fane and turned around to run without a second word!
Fane scoffed as he shot forward and gave chase. He had not attacked earlier because he wanted to see Chad's abilities. There was no way he could let this guy run away.
Mikael said as he ran, "Just you wait! I'll bring my fellow disciples over! Then, you won't be able to get out of this!"
The moment he said that Fane suddenly stopped chasing after him. He looked at Mikael retreating, not moving at all. It was like he had been stunned in place by Mikael's words.
Chad and Rudy were both stunned at that. Why was Fane not chasing after them?
Chad said anxiously, "Why did you stop?! You have to get him! Did you not hear what he said? He's going for reinforcements!"
Chad was practically shouting that out. Even after seeing his abilities, that guy still wanted to get help. It meant that his fellow disciples should be quite strong.
If the two of them were not far away and managed to hurry over in time, then they would be in a difficult spot. Even though he had beaten Fareed earlier, he had been forced to use his trump card. If there were warriors that were stronger than Fareed, he would not be able to beat them.
Rudy did not say anything at all. Compared to Chad, Rudy knew Fane much better. No matter how fast Mikael had run, he would not have been able to get away if Fane did not want him to.
He did not understand why Fane stopped his pursuit, but Rudy trusted that Fane had his own reasons.
Fane turned to look at Chad and said, "I heard what that guy said. It's precise because I heard that so I stopped chasing. Let's just wait here for his fellow disciples."
Chad was stunned by Fane's words. He looked at Fane in confusion, suddenly not knowing what to say. Was Fane's head alright? Did Fane know what he was saying? They were getting reinforcements, but Fane was not leaving and instead waiting for them to come over. Did Fane feel like they did not have enough enemies? Did Fane think he was not in enough anger?
Chad's look had been quite obvious, and Fane could naturally tell what he was thinking. Fane smiled, "I have my own plans. You don't need to worry."
That caused Chad to feel even more unsettled instead. Chad felt like Fane was a mystery.
Chad's lips twitched as he hurriedly said, "That guy will definitely be bringing reinforcements that are stronger than him. You should be stronger than Fareed, but I'm only good enough to defeat Fareed. If any more came, I won't be able to defeat them. If you have the skills to fight more than one, then I can help you hold Mikael back. It's just that, I don't think you can."
He did not hold anything back and was incredibly straightforward. He had not known Fane for that long and had never seen Fane in action. Even so, Chad estimated that Fane should be more or less at his level.
Even if Fane was stronger than him, he would not be that much stronger. After all, they were from third-grade worlds. Unless Fane was a top-chosen disciple, he would not be that much different.
