Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1301

Bang!

Jeremy continued harassing Maxwell, allowing Murphy to find an opening to launch another of his own attacks.

With the level-nine divine sword in his hand, he sliced at Maxwell's back hundreds of times, almost cutting right down to his bones.

"I see!" Murphy exclaimed as he witnessed the power of the divine sword.

His success in using it against Maxwell made clear to him why Darren had given it to him. It seemed that he had added a large amount of itchy toxin to the sword.

"Argh!"

Maxwell raised his head and roared up at the sky for his wounds, his eyes glowing a terrible scarlet now.

He was furious and wanted to rush over and tear Murphy to pieces.

But his back began itching horribly, the itch stretching from his bones, and it stopped him from making any sort of move he would have hoped to make.

He began his pursuit of Murphy nonetheless, but it didn't last long. Soon the itching became unbearable and he had to stretch his arms over and around, reaching for his back before he clawed at it wildly. In an instant, his back had been shredded.

"Has he lost his mind? Why would he do that to himself?" The two killers stood to the side watching the battle, confused by Maxwell's behavior.

"Go to hell!" Maxwell howled.

The shadow of the giant ape then came from behind him and rushed at Murphy in attack.

"Ouch, it hurts, ouch."

The impact flung Jeremy away, putting a swift end to his harassment.

'Holy crap!' Murphy thought to himself, totally shocked by the sheer force.

The shadow of the giant ape appeared to have removed itself from Maxwell's body and was much more violent than Maxwell himself.

With nowhere to hide, all Murphy could do was hope that his armor was enough to save his life.

"Humph, Maxwell has wrecked his bloodline. He'll be pretty much useless," the young killer remarked.

"It seems to me, I'm afraid, the man from the Starry Sword Sect will die. There's no way he survives this," added the old man.

"You know, Akbar did help us with those directions before, and it is one of the reasons for our successes so far. Do you think we should pay him back?"

"Listen, boy, we can't be helping our employer's enemies. That's a big no-no in our business."

"What are you afraid of? Akbar and our sect leader share quite a close relationship. We would not be doing anything wrong if we help someone under his protection."

"You're right. Let's do it; let's save his life. We'll help him, but we'll do it secretly," the old man nodded.

Two streaks of invisible god's power then flew towards Murphy.

"Howl!"

A primeval aura began spreading and the shadow of the giant ape raised its massive fist up high and slammed it down at Murphy.

Bang!

The entire area was overtaken by brilliant, blinding light.

"Hahaha! Murphy, you are finally dead!"

Maxwell looked as though he was crying, tears of joy no doubt. He had paid a hefty price but felt it was all worth it to kill Murphy.

His spirit was strong and he believed that even though he was in great pain from the itching in his bones, he still had enough strength to do what needed to be done and kill the one he hated the most.

"How dare you steal my divine patterns? I'll send you to hell too!"

Maxwell drew all his courage and strength to the surface and burst towards Darren.

"Jeremy, come here and protect Darren!" Lindsay shouted when she saw what was going on.

But it was no use. Jeremy was stunned and in a daze, unsure even of where he was, just rolling around on the ground pitifully.

Darren also recognized that this was not going well. Maxwell was much stronger than he was and he had no chance of escape.

"You wish to kill Darren? Who do you think you are?"

An icy voice resonated throughout. A figure in a black armor stood in front of Darren, shielding him.

Whoosh!
