Nobilis of War novel Chapter 140

Under any other conditions, meeting a level one demonic monster would have not concerned the outer disciples of the Holy Land this much. But they were in the marsh right now. It was the home of mud crocodiles. Here, it was multiple times more powerful than when it was outside the marsh. And that was why they were so afraid. It would be a long fight for them.

An atrocious aura washed over Darren. With all might, he gathered all of his strength and prepared to attack. He took a deep breath as he stared at the king. He stood above the mud crocodile and brandished his sword. Then, his powerful sword intent went after the mud crocodile.

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, the king of mud crocodiles felt the frightening sword intent coming from Darren. It immediately turned around and dived into the marsh, hiding in fear. Darren could only blink his eyes in confusion as he didn't expect that the mud crocodile would curl its tail and back-out.

"Huh? What happened? I can't feel its aura. Its aura completely disappeared? That fast?"

Darren felt that the mud crocodile had completely disappeared in just a poof, leaving without a trace.

"Fantastic! How powerful his sword intent is! The king of the mud crocodiles is gone!" The outer disciples, who had been standing beside and saw Darren drive the king of mud crocodiles away with his sword, all gasped in an admiring tone. Before, they were shaking in fear of the king of mud crocodiles, but now, they were relieved as they could not feel its aura at all.

However, the game was still not over yet. Darren felt strange all of a sudden. Right after all of them let their guard down after the mud crocodile disappeared, it rushed out of the marsh in a very quick speed, charging towards the outer disciples of the Holy Land. It was a surprise attack!

"Oh damn it! It's cleverer than I thought. It chose to avoid me and attack them instead! This is not good." The look on Darren's face immediately changed. Wasting no time, he charged towards it in a flash.

"Roar!"

The king of mud crocodiles was so fast that the outer disciples couldn't even feel and dodge its attack. They froze in place and watched the big monster charge towards them with frightened eyes. But suddenly, a person came towards them flying. He was faster than the mud crocodile, not fearing anything at this moment. What Darren could only worry was to protect the outer disciples.

"Fuck off! You deceitful creature!"

Darren then charged towards the mud crocodile, straight running to its huge mouth without hesitance.

Crack!

The mud crocodile bit Darren in the arm and dragged him into the marsh with it in the blink of an eye. The outer disciples gasped in fear. What would happen to Darren? It seemed that the king was not something that could be underestimated.

Their hearts all dropped when they saw what happened. Some could not bear to see it and closed their eyes firmly.

"Darren!" some shouted.

"Shit! What should we do? Darren got dragged into the marsh in order to save us!"

Their faces were all pale, especially Sven's. He knew what the king of mud crocodiles could do under the marsh. It would be even more powerful there. He had a feeling that Darren was bound to die this time. This thought made him feel goose bumps.

They must not sit still and watch him sacrificed. However, they knew that their power was not enough to beat the king. Worst, they might interrupt Darren if they dived into the fight recklessly.
