Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1350

Six hours later, Merle finally approached the fiend the Rule Soul Avatar had mentioned. The powerful guard had lost interest in him and no longer paid him any attention.

"Brat, do you want to rest?"

Merle asked in a low voice.

The fiend, who had taken on the form of a human, lifted his head and looked at Merle.

"What?"

Merle trembled. He looked into the fiend's purple grey eyes, and he suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable fear rise up from the bottom of his heart.

Merle calmed himself down, but the fiend didn't seem to want to talk to him. Instead, he kept on digging.

"Brat, didn't you hear me?" Merle asked, his tone more serious and authoritative.

"Get away from me!" the fiend said. His tone was firm, and he did not even lift his head to look at Merle this time around.

"You!" Merle fought the urge to rush toward the fiend and beat him.

"I'm serious. I can grant you rest. I can even grant you your freedom." Merle tried his best to suppress his anger.

The fiend paused for a moment, lost in thought.

"Why should I believe you?" he said coldly. Rest and freedom were the only desires of his heart. He wanted these two things more than anything.

Merle couldn't answer his question. He sought out the Rule Soul Avatar through spiritual sense. "He doesn't believe me. What should I do?"

"Let a little bit of time pass, and then put your left hand on his shoulder," the Rule Soul Avatar answered. He sent a wisp of his law force into Merle's body through soul transmission.

Merle stretched out his hand and did as he said.

Swish!

A cold killing intent instantly enveloped Merle. It gripped every part of his body, and he let out a small gasp.

Merle felt a chill in his heart. He was about to fight back when the killing intent suddenly retreated.

The fiend's unsettling, purple grey eyes were fixed on Merle. He looked at him quizzically.

"What do you want?"

"What?" Merle was dumbstruck.

"What do you want in exchange for my freedom? Surely there should be something in this for you. Why would you even help me?"

"Wow. You finally believe me." Merle breathed out a sigh of relief.

Seconds ago, the fiend had wanted to kill Merle on the spot. However, something had happened when Merle touched his shoulder. A strange force had gone into his body and had loosened the shackles on him by a bit.

"It's very simple. Help us kill that guard," Merle said.

"No, I can't do that. You need to completely remove the shackles on me, first," said the purple-eyed fiend.

"It's easy. But how am I certain that you won't kill me, too, as soon as I free you from your restraints?" Merle was not stupid. This powerful fiend could turn against him in an instant.

"You are thinking too much. You will be very useful for me in getting out of this place. Killing you will do me no good," said the purple-eyed fiend.

"I don't trust you, but you make sense," Merle said coldly.

"So why have you not done anything yet?" the purple-eyed fiend said, his tone stern and commanding.

Merle did not respond to him but spoke to the Rule Soul Avatar telepathically. "He said yes. You need to free him."

Bang!

Suddenly, a huge force threw Merle to the wall of the mine. He hit his back with a sickening thud, and his bones cracked with the impact. His blood spattered on the floor.

"Damn it! Who allowed you to speak to him?" the guard roared.

"I'm sorry." Merle struggled to get up. He bowed his head to the guard.

"Your apology is useless. If you speak to him, you will be sentenced to death. Go to hell!" The guard lifted his steel fork and rushed toward Merle.

Suddenly, a wave of law force surged forward and enveloped the purple-eyed fiend's body.
