Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1348

With the help of his Spirit Power, the Rule Soul Avatar determined Jenifer's location very soon.

Jenifer was currently being held in a small mine, where she was forced to work. Fortunately, her breath was still stable and she didn't have any injury. Perceiving her condition, the Rule Soul Avatar was somehow relieved.

However, he couldn't make a move right now. He needed to wait and grasp the overall situation in the mining area before he could find an opportunity to rescue her. He also needed to plan his escape route, so he could smoothly take Jenifer out of this place.

"You! And you! Come over here!"

While the Rule Soul Avatar was still racking his brain, a fiend soldier suddenly emerged, calling him and Merle out.

They didn't try to make a scene and just followed the fiend soldier.

"We were informed that you two shall serve in this place for a hundred thousand years. You're going to be assigned to mining area No. 18.

Now, take them away!"

The two were quickly accompanied by other soldiers and were brought to the northern part of the mining area. They passed a dark tunnel and eventually arrived at the mining area No. 18.

They saw that the mining area No. 18 was not that big and only a few people were working there. In fact, there were only ten fiends in the place, working nonstop.

They didn't even pay attention to the arrival of the Rule Soul Avatar and Merle. There were no words uttered, not even a glance.

'Hmm, it seems that these guys are pretty strong.' Merle had a faint grin on his face upon realizing that he could merge with these fiends.

Without wasting any time, the Rule Soul Avatar used his Spirit Power to explore the area and sensed that there was actually something special in the place.

Bang!

Suddenly, both he and Merle were hit by an invisible force. They were caught off guard and felt an excruciating pain in their heart.

They quickly looked around but found nothing.

Then, the Rule Soul Avatar took a deep breath and activated his silvery eyes.

What he saw startled him. It turned out that the mining area was filled with various laws, most of which were the Shackle Laws, imprisoning the entire area. In addition to the Shackle Laws, he also detected some special Attack Laws.

Upon seeing all of these, the Rule Soul Avatar unleashed a tremendous amount of Spirit Power in an attempt to make contact with these Attack Laws.

However, these Attack Laws were not easy to be obtained, and so the Rule Soul Avatar needed some time to focus and meditate on it. He quickly sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and poured himself into it.

Bang!

Once again, the invisible laws attacked the two of them, but this time, only Merle was hit. The Rule Soul Avatar just sat still and wasn't affected at all.

"Hey! Quit standing there. If you don't start working, you'll be repeatedly struck to death,"

an old fiend warned as he continued digging on the ground.

"Who do you think I am?" Even after being hit twice and experiencing terrifying pain, Merle still didn't move and remained stubborn.

Swoosh!

Another law attacked him and he felt like he was already about to break.

"Xavier! Help me! Damn it!"

Merle bellowed harshly as he saw that the Rule Soul Avatar stayed unaffected by the Attack Laws.

However, the Rule Soul Avatar was deeply immersed in the process of absorbing the laws, so he didn't have time to care about Merle's whining.

"You useless idiot!"

Merle felt helpless, knowing that he wouldn't be able to bear more damages from the invisible forces.

So, he obediently took one of the shovels and went on to dig the ground lazily.

Bang!

"What the hell!" Merle was hit yet again.

"Your movement is too slow! If you acted that lazily, you will still be punished," the old fiend reminded Merle.

Merle gritted his teeth and was so furious, but he had no choice but to speed up his movements.

But it wasn't an easy task. The rocks in the area were very hard and were difficult to break.

"What the hell are we digging here?"

After just a few hours, Merle felt extremely weak and struggled to continue.

"The Blood Stone." The old fiend gave a brief answer.

"Blood Stone? What is that?" It was his first time hearing about it, so he became curious.

The old fiend and the other fiends turned their heads and looked at him with surprised expressions on their faces. They knew that he wasn't lying because the confusion and curiosity in Merle's eyes were genuine.

"How could you not know what the Blood Stone is?"

They were in disbelief that someone from the fiend race really didn't know anything about the Blood Stone.

"Yeah, I don't know about it. Just tell me!" Merle was pissed at their reactions and quickly grew impatient.

Merle was, in fact, amazed by this development. He knew that with this, his opportunity to merge with stronger fiends would also increase.

"Hey, I've found something! Take a look at this!"

one of the sturdy-looking fiends shouted excitedly.

He pointed at a dark-red stone under his hoe.

"It's the Blood Stone! There's no mistaking it!"

"Quickly! Let's dig it up!"

The fiends felt very thrilled. They wielded their digging materials and tried to recover the Blood Stone as fast as they could.

After a few moments, a dark-red stone the size of an egg clearly came into their view.

"Whew! We finally found one. Now, I think we can take a day off."

The fiends were very elated. They had been digging for thousands of years, yet this was only the first piece of Blood Stone that they had obtained.

But in reality, they were still a little fortunate. Some were trying to look for a Blood Stone for a hundred thousand years but still hadn't found one.

Swoosh!

However, all of a sudden, a dark shadow quickly passed, and the dark-red stone instantly disappeared.

All of them were shocked and they panicked after seeing that it was gone. "Where is it? Find it!" It took them thousands of years just to find a single piece. They wouldn't let it vanish just like that.

After all, they already set their minds that they were finally able to catch a day off. It was all that they longed for after all these years of constant suffering.

"There! He took it!"

As one of the fiends turned, he saw that the Blood Stone was actually in the hands of the Rule Soul Avatar.

"What are you doing? Give it back to us!" Most of the fiends got agitated and demanded the Blood Stone back.

However, they didn't dare to do anything rash like attacking him. After all, their power had terribly weakened because of all those years of doing nonstop labor. Moreover, they hadn't got the chance to offer up the Blood Stone to the higher-ups. If they stopped working, they would definitely be attacked by the invisible laws.

"Please, give it back to us." The old fiend actually started crying.

However, the Rule Soul Avatar just stood there and observed the dark-red stone intently using his Spirit Power.

As he analyzed it further, he found out that the stone actually contained the Order Law, which was the same Order Law that he had acquired from the dark-red chains.
