Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1309

Due to extreme fatigue, all of them fell on the ground one by one. They were all covered in blood, and they almost fainted.

After resting for a while and catching their breaths, Darren began to sit in meditation to recover his god's power.

Lindsay and Finley also followed suit.

Finally, after several hours, they started to feel better.

"What are we going to do now?" Lindsay asked. Darren let out a sigh and said, "I'm not sure. A mysterious Archean mountain just showed up out of nowhere. It did not only take Murphy but also several masters at the Superior God Realm. Moreover, it left countless powerful beasts in the area. The Tussle Region is facing such a catastrophe."

"I think preventing a catastrophe is not really the most important thing right now. More than that, I'm more worried about the safety of Master Murphy and Lord Akbar. We don't know what may happen to them. I just hope that they're still safe," Lindsay said with a worried expression.

The Tussle Region was indeed not that kind of a peaceful place. Several killings happened all the time, and people just depended their lives on fate. In Lindsay's opinion, it wouldn't really make much of a difference if these beasts started making trouble right now.

"You're right. We can just hope for now…" Obviously, Darren was also extremely worried about the safety of Akbar and Murphy.

"Hey, Finley. Why are you being so quiet? Is there something wrong? What are you doing in that corner?" Lindsay nudged Finley as her gaze fell on him.

"I'm cultivating." Finley's voice sounded unusually calm. It was as if he hadn't experienced a horrifying disaster just now.

Even Darren felt that something was wrong upon seeing this.

Thus, he walked over to Finley and patted him on the shoulder. "What's the matter? Are you taking those stupid words that I told you seriously?" Darren asked.

Finley just shook his head and let out a faint smile.

"Hey. Are you sure that you're not mad at me?" Darren began staring at him seriously.

"We have been friends for so many years. Did you ever see me get angry with you even once?" Finley replied in a soft voice as if he was kind of embarrassed at what he just said.

"I know. That's why I need you to tell me what's going on. You're acting strange, man. Tell me or I'll beat you up. I swear!" Darren started to get impatient. Finley was always rowdy and he was not used to seeing him like this.

"It's fine. Besides, it has nothing to do with you," Finley replied. He then eventually told Darren what had happened that day.

Hearing all of it, Darren came to understand why he didn't look like himself right now. Finley was actually upset at what happened to him.

"Is that why you're being like this? If the space that's supposed to be your connection with your real body collapsed, it's probably because he was keeping you from using his great power. That is just it. What are you so worried about?" Darren analyzed.

"No. I don't think that's all there is to it." Finley shook his head and continued, "For the past few days, I feel like something has been slipping from me, and I can't control it."

"What do you mean?" Lindsay asked with furrowed brows.

Finley fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "Emotion. Human emotion. I'm afraid that one day I might become as cold as Darren's avatar, like a mere emotionless machine." This was what had been on his mind these past days, and it was really torturing him mentally.

Darren quickly realized that Finley must be suffering a lot of stress that was caused by his real body.

"Finley, listen to me. You don't need to worry too much about your real body. You are your own self. It depends on you how you can achieve your goals. Besides, your real body may not help you, but I don't think that he will hurt you too. Just take it easy. We're here to support you. Don't let your life revolve around him," Darren remarked.

"I know that. You also know me. I'm not the type that keeps on relying on someone. It's just that the moment I entered the Primitive Wilderness, I instantly felt that some strange force was suppressing me. Then recently, I had definitive proof that it is my real body that's behind all this.

If he doesn't want to help me, fine. I just want him to give me a little bit of space for me to cultivate and improve myself. Why does he need to lay a restriction on me?" Finely said in frustration.

There was a slight piercing pain in Darren's heart when he heard these sincere words from Finley.

They had been friends for so many years, so he knew him quite well. Finley wasn't the type to casually show his true feelings. He was actually very stubborn on the inside. If he had been suppressed for such a long time, Darren could just imagine his frustration and exasperation.

"If only I could meet your real body, I really want to talk to him," Darren muttered to himself.

"Why? What do you want to talk about?"

Suddenly, a low and cold voice echoed in Darren's mind.

It was so unexpected that the voice sent a chill down his spine.

"Who are you? Are you Finley's real body?" Darren sent the message through his spiritual sense.

"If you really want to talk to me, then come with me." The voice sounded in his mind again, admitting that he was, in fact, Finley's real body.
