Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1244

Several sword intents surged toward Caleb.

Bang!

Confident of his physical defense, Caleb used his palm to defend against the incoming attack.

"What?" However, a sharp pain radiated from his palm the moment it touched the sword intent. The agony he felt was so intense that his face paled.

The pain didn't stop there. Instead, it ran up his arm and spread to his shoulder.

In the next moment, he couldn't see clearly as a mist of blood hindered his vision.

"What?!"

"What happened?"

"The old man's arm has been severely injured!"

The audience burst into an uproar. Caleb's mighty palm had failed to defend against Darren's sword intent! And if that wasn't shocking enough, the damage to Caleb was bewildering as well!

Although they had witnessed it, the audience couldn't believe it. After all, the young man was just a cultivator at the upper-level of the Domain God Realm. How could he have such powerful sword intent?

An expression of shock replaced the smile on both the Gambling King's and King Winfred's faces. They never thought that Darren could display such a strong sword intent.

"That brat has hidden something from us. He not only has secret skills, but he also pretended to be injured. We've been tricked." By then, the Gambling King also realized that contrary to the rumor, Darren had not been injured.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crowd was still trying to process what had happened when Darren's god's power surged in the arena.

The black god's power condensed into several flying dragons, which attacked Caleb. A few moments later, Caleb's body was riddled with holes!

Panic and a sense of foreboding enclosed Caleb in their icy grip.

He had trusted his strong physical defense, but it was worthless in front of Darren's god's power.

Darren, on the other hand, remained expressionless. He knew that his black god's power could penetrate people's bodies, and so, he was expecting this result. Besides, the new sword intent he had just comprehended had the same effect, albeit less powerful than his black god's power. However, after the merge, the sword intent improved, which allowed him to break Caleb's defense.

"Well, are you still so sure that you can defeat me?" Caleb shuddered as Darren looked at him emotionlessly.

Meanwhile, the Gambling King appeared livid. He balled his hands into fists at the thought of the several hundred million killing points he would lose if Darren won. Even though he was rich enough to afford such a loss, giving away hundreds of millions of killing points felt torturous.

"I've underestimated you, boy. Now, I will have to kill you!" A hint of cruelty flashed across the Gambling King's eyes. Then, he recited something in his mind, and an invisible light flew toward the arena.

It fell over Caleb's head and entered his body.

Swish!

A golden light shone, and in the span of a breath, all his wounds were healed. Moreover, his aura increased significantly, which amplified the pressure on Darren.

Darren frowned when he felt that something was wrong. He soon realized that this change in Caleb must be the work of the Gambling King.

"Kill!"

Darren growled as he rushed forward. He couldn't afford to give Caleb any chances now that he had help. The battle needed to finish as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be the one to lose his life.

The sword intent and the black god's power attacked Caleb in unison.
