Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1195

"Don't panic. If someone like me can't pass the test, it means that the test is meaningless. I'm sure that if we get creative, we will make it through intact,"

Darren reassured them. His words actually made sense because he could kill someone who was three or four levels higher than him. If he couldn't pass the test, it meant that only those who were able to fight against five levels higher than their own selves would be able to pass. In this way, the test completely contradicted the rules of the Tussle Region.

Therefore, Darren was confident that they could pass each test.

As for Finley and the others, they were the best warriors among the disciples in the Ancestral Land, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to pass either.

Even during the first test, if they hadn't had Darren there, they could have reserved some special powerful means before they flew over the blood pool in order to be successful; however, if they used their strongest power like Barnes did when they flew over, they might have failed.

They walked along the tunnel for several days before they arrived at a wide stone chamber.

As soon as they were all inside, the stone doors on either end of the tunnel slammed shut.

"This must be the second test."

They all stopped and listened hard into the pitch black darkness.

"Darren, there's someone here." Aaron grabbed Darren by the sleeve and pointed ahead.

"Who? I can't see anyone."

Darren searched the space around them with his spiritual sense and there was no sign of life in the darkness.

"I'm telling the truth. There are five people over there. It's scary," Aaron repeated in a trembling voice.

Darren once again unleashed his spiritual sense to scan the area, but he still couldn't find any living creature.

But Darren believed that Aaron wouldn't lie to him. If he said there was something there, it had to be there. After all, this was a test.

"Be careful!" Darren reminded.

They positioned themselves so that they were back to back and they watched the darkness without blinking, powers poised for attack.

All of a sudden, five sharp blades flew across the air, one to each of them.

Even in the darkness, there seemed to be streaks of dark red blade left behind in the air.

It was lucky that they were on the alert. They were all quick to activate their defenses. The first attack was defeated within minutes.

"There really is something here!"

"Aaron, come between us and report their location whenever you see one."

"Yes." Aaron was also obedient. He moved into the middle and swept his dark eyes back and forth, raking for a glimpse of the creatures.

"Darren, on your left, right in front of you, above you, behind you..." Aaron shouted and pointed out their locations as fast as he could.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Darren and the others followed his pointing and were able to make out their opponents vaguely.

They fought together against them as if they could see their opponents in the darkness.

After fighting for a while, the whole stone room began to get brighter, shrouding itself in dark red light.

"Huh. I guess hiding will consume a lot of your god's power. Am I right?" Darren sneered.

"You can't hold on anymore. Just show yourselves!" Finley shouted.

In front of Darren, five men stood in puddles of blood with machetes in their hands. They looked lifeless.

"Let me deal with them," Darren said, stepping forward. It would be easier for him to fight them himself.

"Okay. Move out of the way." The others believed in Darren, so they immediately stepped back.

Darren strode forward without hesitation.

Whoosh!

The five men struggled to follow Darren's movements as he dashed around the stone chamber. Launching attacks, he moved so fast that they realized Darren's speed had reached the highest level.

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!

The dark red blade and sword intents were frantically surging.

"Three-thousand-year killing intent!"
