Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1409

The chaotic evil energy in the blood cloud spread like the shadow of a devil across the sky, covering the land in darkness.

Hundreds of Archean Beasts roared in unison.

The sound was so deep and loud that the space seemed on the verge of collapsing under the pressure of their roars.

In that moment, the battle began. Given his current strength level, Darren could do nothing but watch from a distance.

He felt agitated, and thought, 'No, no, this is pointless. I can't just stay here and watch from afar.'

If Darren didn't do something soon, the battle would be decided without him. He frowned, thinking, then suddenly came up with an idea.

He soared into the air.

He flew away from the village, towards the dark, shadowy clouds above.

"Finley, where are you?" Darren shouted at the sky.

As the controller, Finley could hear Darren's shout.

"What's wrong, Darren? I'm trying my best to save those big shots," Finley said, communicating with Darren through his spiritual sense.

"Can you get away now?" Darren asked.

"No, I can't. If I take back the force of control now, those old fellows will be in danger! They might be transferred to another space and time, and if that happens, they'll never be able to come back," Finley said quickly.

Darren absorbed this information. "Then send me to the star occupied by the Evil Deity. I'm going to save the mistress of the Chu Clan," he said.

Since the Evil Deity was busy fighting somewhere else, Darren might as well take advantage of the situation.

"You won't succeed," Finley said unhappily. "The Evil Deity used the Original Sin Chains to bind her. Even I can't release her. It's useless for you to go there." Finley regretted that he did not have enough power to save the mistress of the Chu Clan on his own.

"I will go whether you think it's useless or not. Send me there now," Darren replied without hesitation.

"Well, be careful, then... I'm going all out to tear up the turbulent flow of time and space. I can't be distracted," Finley said.

"Got it. I'll be careful."

With that, Finley used the force of control to send Darren away.

It was dark on the withered star when Darren arrived.

He landed on the ground and looked at the figure looming in the distance. Twenty-four black iron chains extended from the darkness, bound around a woman, preventing her from moving.

"Is that Mrs. Chu?" Darren muttered to himself.

He felt a strange sensation as he gazed at the bound woman.

His skin tingled when the woman suddenly opened her eyes.

Her icy gaze fell upon Darren.

She glared at him with her deep, cold eyes.

A strong wind swept over Darren, causing a jolt of pain in his face.

"Who are you?"

she asked in a soft, low voice, staring at him.

"Madame, my name is Darren Chu."

He spoke as politely as he could, but he felt unnerved. He wasn't sure what would be the right thing to say.

"Are you a member of the Chu Clan?" the woman asked abruptly.

There was excitement in her expression as she studied the stranger. She sensed the aura of a very familiar bloodline in this young man.

"Yes, I am the direct descendant of the Chu Clan. May I ask who you are?" Darren replied.

The woman's body trembled. Suddenly, she started struggling against her chains, fighting to break loose from the black iron that bound her.

But her struggles were fruitless. Eventually she stopped moving, looking deeply pained, as though she had just been viciously attacked without warning.

Darren stayed still. After a few more moments, the wild expression vanished from the woman's face as she began to calm down.

"You should call me Aunt Yolanda," she said. "But kid, I think you're more than just a direct descendant of the Chu Clan." She pressed her lips together and gave Darren an oddly gentle gaze.

"Aunt Yolanda?" Darren repeated, sounding surprised. "Aren't you the wife of our ancestor, Alfredo? It seems impertinent for me to call you my aunt."

"Not at all," said the woman, shaking her head. She narrowed her eyes at him and said, "Tell me—your real name is Xavier, right?"

Darren was stunned. He said nothing.

The woman waited patiently as Darren blinked, staring at her. "Yes!" he said. "My name used to be Xavier. But how—how did you know that?"

The woman's face changed again, this time becoming mournful. Tears welled in her dark eyes.
