Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1388

Darren and the others in his party moved closer together to avoid being separated in the dense yellow mist.

"Rain, slow down."

"I'm on the way to save my mother. How could I possibly slow down? Humph!"

Rain continued bounding forward so hard that Darren and the others were almost unable to keep up with her.

"Ah!"

A horrible shriek came from ahead, piercing into everyone's ears and hearts!

Wind could tell that it was without a doubt his sister's perpetually angry voice.

"Rain, what's wrong?"

Wind quickly flew over to find her standing dead still in front of him. She said nothing and made no move.

"You wait here. I'll go and have a look!" Darren saw what was going on and told the rest not to move before he flew over as well.

He then landed beside Rain and saw her staring blankly into the mist ahead. But he saw nothing in front of them himself.

"What seems to be the matter, Rain?" asked Darren.

"There is a thing, there, a very horrible thing." Rain's voice was cold and distant, her body shuddering as she spoke.

Darren was unable to use his god's sense there and so could not perceive anything ahead.

"Everyone, be careful. Keep your guard up. There may be Archean creatures here," announced Darren in warning.

Wind remained silent the entire time. But then, all of a sudden, he leaped into the air and flew across at an extreme speed. His hands then turned into a blade and sword and fierce blade and sword intents shot out from them.

'Huh! He's copied my blade and sword intents and used his own methods to come up with his own power!' Darren was astonished when he felt the blade and sword intents.

Not only had Wind successfully imitated them in such a short time, but he had also figured out his own way to use them. And the power of Wind's blade and sword intents was a match for his own!

The only shortcoming it seemed to have was that Wind was unable to fuse his blade and sword intents, as he was after all, not a real human.

Boom!

An intensely powerful fighting spirit burst out of the dim yellow mist and the god's power exploded.

"We need to help my brother!" Rain squealed.

Darren and Rain then rushed over together.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

They arrived at Wind's side and found a black figure flashing in the mist. It was impossible to capture it without using god's sense.

Whoosh!

Darren closed his eyes and focused his mind to attack with sword intent using instinct alone. "Swordsmanship from the heart..." he murmured to himself.

He had mastered this method of control using his mind when he had comprehended the third move of the supreme sword skill. He activated the sword intent using the same method now.

The first few shots missed the target.

It was of little consequence though, as thanks to Wind's and Rain's resistance, the black shadow was being pushed back, retreating while still fighting. Darren was left untouched.

After a few more times of employing this method, Darren suddenly found that the sword intent controlled by his mind seemed to be getting more powerful and accurate than when he used his spiritual sense. He continued on like this as he felt that he was getting very skilled with this method.

"If I can perfect this method to control the sword intent, my sword intent probably will be able to improve by another level!"

This realization overjoyed Darren.

He focused his mind and put his whole heart into controlling the sword intent. He was giving it all he had, surely nothing could stop him now.

One strike, two strikes... The more he shot out of the sword intent, the more proficient he was becoming.

"Eh? How dare you launch a sneak attack on me?"

Darren sensed the danger coming at him clear as day even without using his god's sense.

Whoosh!

A majestic sword intent shot down underneath him. He would not be taken by surprise.

"Garrrrr!"

The black shadow let out a roar of anguish as it took the hit. Darren had struck the creature down and injured it.

Wind and Rain quickly flew down, releasing a continuous barrage of attacks, one after the other.

"Woo..."

A cry of pain could be heard from within the shroud of the mist.

Wind and Rain soon emerged with a black creature in their arms.

"So it turned out to be a dog?" Darren asked in surprise.

"What is dog?" Rain asked in confusion. She did not understand.

"It's a creature that humans raise," Darren explained. He then realized that something was not quite right with this. How could there be a dog here?
