Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1268

While Homer had all his attention focused on his back, an even more powerful wave of law attacks barraged his front, catching him totally off guard.

"What the...? Are you kidding me?"

He turned pale, the terror clear on his face, and hurriedly withdrew his spear to block the incoming attacks.

He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, his rival was relatively weak. As long as he had his spear by his side to help him fight back, he felt confident he could counter through his enemy's defenses and turn the tide in his favor.

But then, his body began trembling violently, his face turned a deep red before the color soon drained from it.

He looked down to find the ground beneath his feet stained dark with his blood.

"You dirty rat!" Only then did Homer notice that an arrow of rule power had been shot through his crotch and pierced right into his heart.

His life began dripping away along with his blood.

"Die!"

The Rule Soul Avatar showed no mercy. He gathered his law force and targeted it all at Homer's head.

Homer was already panicking, his life already on the line as he was left exposed.

"Darren, don't kill me, please. I was sent here to help you improve your cultivation level, on Lord Yama's orders!" he shouted desperately, pleading for his life.

He was willing to do anything necessary to convince the Rule Soul Avatar to spare him.

But the Rule Soul Avatar paid his words no mind, they meant nothing to him. All that he could think about was that this man in front of him harbored a deep desire to kill him and that he had attempted to do something filthy to Jenifer. How could he possibly let him go now?

Homer's heart had already been stabbed into, it was over now. He could not hold off any more of the Rule Soul Avatar's attacks.

He sat, white as a sheet, awaiting death to take him.

"Stop!"

the Reincarnation Emperor yelled as he descended and stopped before the Rule Soul Avatar.

"Darren, all Homer did was follow Lord Yama's orders. It was all for your own good. You can't kill him."

From the other end, the Rule Soul Avatar ceased his assault and cast contemptuous glances at the both of them.

"I need proof from Lord Yama for your words," said the Rule Soul Avatar.

"What? I'm telling the truth, I would never lie about official orders. You do as you please now, but I'll be taking Homer away," said the Reincarnation Emperor authoritatively.

"Okay, I believe you. Get him out of here." Unexpectedly, the Rule Soul Avatar agreed. It seemed he had a change of heart.

"Ha-ha, a wise decision. Come to my palace later and apologize to Homer. We'll be waiting for you there," said the Reincarnation Emperor quite pleased and surprised with how this had turned out.

"Okay," nodded the Rule Soul Avatar.

"Humph! You're so ungrateful," Homer groaned. "If I hadn't held back ninety percent of my strength, do you think you would have even been able to hurt me? How dare you try to kill me?" Homer's resent exploded out of him. Now that he was going to live, he tried to regain some dignity and find a way to save some face.

"Be quiet! Don't humiliate yourself. Go back and heal your wounds," bellowed the Reincarnation Emperor in warning.

That silenced Homer, who then stared intensely at the Rule Soul Avatar, as two guards made their way over to help him.

As he turned, however, the Rule Soul Avatar shifted and a terrible law force gathered in his right hand.

Whoosh!

Out of nowhere, several arrows of law darted out.

No one was expecting the Rule Soul Avatar to completely ignore the Reincarnation Emperor's words and still try to kill Homer. Several arrows were thrust into Homer's head in the blink of an eye, too quick for anyone to react.

Only then did the Reincarnation Emperor realize that the Rule Soul Avatar had his own plans. His heart ignited in a rage.

"Why are you doing this?" he yelled.

It was already too late for him to do anything. The arrows of law had crushed Homer's soul.

Homer's body fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

Flames of anger spurted out of the Reincarnation Emperor's eyes. He considered the situation but was at a loss for what his next course of action should be.

"All right," he snorted in displeasure after a long pause.

He waved his hand, instructing his guards to carry Homer's corpse back to his palace.

He was frustrated; he could not do anything to the Rule Soul Avatar until he reported to Yama. He shook his head and left.

Jenifer came back soon after and learned of what had happened.
