The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

"Just shut your mouths," hissed Fane, his tone mature. His single command immediately ceased the argument.

Lourain looked at Fane apprehensively, worried that Fane would bring up what happened before. After all, he had been rude to him before they entered the array. He did not even dare to think about what he had said before.

He could say everything he did with conviction in front of regular warriors from third-grade worlds without any worry. However, the situation was different. Fane was no ordinary warrior; he stood at the top of the food chain. Not only at the peak of third-grade worlds, but the absolute one, including second-grade worlds. Fane was probably one of the five or three strongest warriors in the Whirling World.

Someone as horrifyingly strong as that was someone he would not even dare to say anything in front of, let alone offend. Not only had he run his mouth, but he was harsh with his words as well. Lourain had offended Fane, and knowing this, he felt like dying. Fane turned to look at Lourain. "Do you think everything will resolve on its own when you're hiding?"

Lourain trembled in terror and looked down at his feet. At that moment, his whole body was tense. He shrunk backward, but he did not dare to move too much.

He was like a tortoise hiding in its shell, and the mere sight was amusing. Fane remembered how arrogant he was before they entered the Seven Deaths Array. He complained that the warriors from third-grade worlds were dragging him down and mocking him and Marth.

He held no reservations about his word choice back then, but at this moment, not a shred of his arrogance remained. Fane had been forced to provoke Lourain just for the sake of stopping Lourain from wasting time. Yet, that earlier aura of his was completely gone. Lourain knew that things would go the opposite way of where he wanted them if he acted the fool. He could not even muster up the courage to fight back at that moment.

Thus, he muttered, "Sir, please show some mercy. Just think of me as a crazy person didn't mean what I said earlier! If I had known you were so strong, I wouldn't run my mouth so foolishly. You're probably wearing the mask because you don't want anyone to recognize you. You must be someone incredibly strong and well-known. If you hadn't had the mask on, I would've never dared..."

Lourain was quite choked up as he said that, looking like he was about to cry at any moment.

Marth's quirked lips twitched wordlessly. He laughed and said, "You're an amazing actor, Lourain! have to admit that I underestimated you before this. Not only is your mouth quite smooth, but you can act quite well. I really admire you!"

Lourain suddenly looked up and glared at Marth like a mad dog. He looked like he was about to bite Marth's throat at any moment. Fane's lips curled up at the sight. Nonetheless, he did not plan on wasting any more time.

He wasted so much energy to silence Lourain and have that fool follow him into the Seven Deaths Array, so he would not let Lourain cause him trouble inside. After all, he did not know if he would break any rules if he attacked Lourain. Ae would need to wait until everything was done before he made a move.

He told Lourain before that he would remember everything Lourain said. He had not been joking.

Fane smirked calmly. "Enough. I don't want to waste any more time. We'll talk after we get out."

After he said that, the three of them advanced.

The earlier battle had moved them around quite a lot, so he did not know how many steps they had taken. He would have to take things one step at a time.
