The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

He panted roughly, so angry that tears were about to fall, "You were just pretending the whole time? You're not an alchemist? It was just an act? You told me you would give me a chance to kill you, but you were just setting a trap!"

Reality was cruel. Even at the final moment, Trevor did not want to believe it. Yet, with everything that had happened, he was forced to.

From that exchange earlier, Trevor could clearly feel how great the gap between Fane and himself was. Fane's expression had been so relaxed. It had not taken much effort to launch that attack at all, but it had shattered Trevor's technique which Trevor was so proud of.

The technique he used seemed as weak as paper in front of Fane. Even if it was shocking, it was still the truth.

After Fane heard that, he smiled and said, "Do you think that I said I would give you a chance to kill me because I really want to die? That I wanted you to kill me? You always felt that I was an idiot and that I was crazy. In my eyes, you were the crazy one.

"Who would be so free to give their lives to their opponents? If I didn't have the confidence, why would I have participated in the slaughter gambit? Do you think I didn't know how dangerous the slaughter gambit is?

"Am I not supposed to know the gulf between alchemists and warriors? Since I know, why did I do all of this? It's such a simple question, but you didn't bother to think about it. Who do you have to blame but yourself for your current predicament?"

Trevor was so agitated that he could not breathe properly. He started to cough violently, like someone who was about to die after suffering from a terminal disease. His eyes were completely reddened. He had been so agitated by those words that he could not figure out anything to say.

Even though he hated Fane to the core, he had to admit that Fane was right. Unless there was something wrong with a person's mind, no one would want to die to their

opponents. Fane had clearly known what would await him by offending so many people, but he did not care.

Unless Fane actually had the skills to back it up, there was no way Fane would have done that. In the waiting area, Trevor was surprised by all of Fane's actions. He could not understand it. Did Fane not know what would happen if Fane offended Chris?

Fane did not seem like an idiot, so Fane definitely knew what would happen. Since he knew, why did he do all that? Did he have any other reasons? Was he so arrogant that everyone else was just beneath him?

Trevor even thought that the victory Fane had gotten before had clouded Fane's judgment, stopping Fane from seeing how much weaker he was than everyone else.

Thinking about it, those thoughts were all hilarious. The actual reason should have been easy to guess, but Trevor had allowed all his preconceived notions to cloud his mind. He felt like Fane was just lower than him, that Fane was a weak alchemist!

"I can't believe things ended up like this. You said you would give me a chance to kill you, and I believed it like an idiot!" Saying that Trevor could not help but smile bitterly. His coughing intensified as even more blood flowed from his mouth, staining his clothes.

Fane raised an eyebrow, "You

thought that someone from Hestia Continent would definitely not be able to stand up to someone from White Marsh Continent. You thought that was definitely an alchemist because others said so! It's all because of your ignorance, and you're paying the price now."

Trevor's lips twitched, unable to say anything. Fane smiled coldly and said, "You told me more than once that I would pay the price. You said I would be begging for mercy. I've always believed in dishing out what is given. You'll be facing exactly what you said I would!"

The moment Fane said that, Trevor's body suddenly stiffened. He widened his eyes as they filled up with fear. He struggled to get up to run, but all he could do was struggle on the ground like a worm since he had lost all his limbs. He could not escape at all.
