He still remembered the expressions on their faces. It was the same as his at that moment. Octavius smiled bitterly. No matter how unhappy he was, he had to admit that Fane was right. He reaped what he sowed!
"What's happening? Is it just too far?" Case frowned and said. He had already arrived at the predetermined spot.
There were nine others with him. Another six were still not there. As time slowly dragged on, the situation seemed more and more problematic. After all, this was not a nice place. The fog battlefield was full of the aura of death. Death was everywhere in this place.
For the skeleton badges, anything could be done. Case sighed and continued, "We'll wait for a while longer. If they don't arrive, we'll just depart first. I trust in their skills. I've looked at all the other challengers. Other than Fane, no one else is worth our notice. They're all just trash. If anyone met them, it would take some time, but there shouldn't be any problems…"
However, if they met Fane instead, the situation would be very bad. However, Case felt like even if some of them were unlucky enough to meet Fane, it could not be all six of the missing ones.
The one behind Case at that moment was Maurice, who was from their clan. Jimmy stood quietly beside Maurice. Jimmy's expression was incredibly serious at that moment. As time slowly passed, he constantly looked around, observing his surroundings. Yet, no one was there, which caused him to get more and more anxious.
Maurice said, "What are you looking around for? Even if someone is here, you won't be able to see them at all. Once they're close enough, everyone will see them."
Jimmy sighed, saying with worry, "Why isn't Octavius here? Could he have encountered any trouble?"
Maurice raised an eyebrow. He had been thinking about other matters and had forgotten about Octavius. Jimmy had served as a reminder. Octavius should have already arrived after so long. The others who had not arrived were mostly all weaker than Octavius. Even the strongest among the other five was almost at Octavius' level.
With Octavius' skills, if there were no surprises on the way, Octavius should have already arrived. Did he meet some trash that he could not handle?
Maurice consoled, "There's no way anything would happen to him. Have you forgotten about his skills? He must have met a few pieces of trash on the way. Even though ants are small, they're still worth something. If he killed them, he would get the skeleton badges. He might be able to get something good from them. If I met any, I would attack as well. It might waste some time, but it would be very profitable."
It was not just Maurice who felt that way. Other than Jimmy, the others thought so as well. Even though they had participated in the fog battlefield to get rid of Fane, the rewards they could get were still something on their minds.
After solving the most important problem, they could profit from it as well. It was naturally a happy matter. They would definitely have done it happily if they were in that position. It was just that they had a very easy time arriving at the gathering spot, not meeting anyone else.
Jimmy looked up and said seriously when he heard that, "It's not like that! All of you would definitely do something like that, but Octavius absolutely wouldn't."
