Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1419

Carthy carried himself in a refined and civil manner, yet his dark eyes bubbled with clear mockery as he stared at Darren.

He had not come across many humans before. He had heard that they were very stubborn creatures, and almost all of them would rather die than surrender. Now though, it seemed that rumor was not true. It was only this young man in the purple robes in front of him that seemed unwilling to obey him.

"All you have to do is provide me with your blood and I will make you a noble bloodsucker. We could even be friends," Carthy said, still smiling.

"Do you really believe you're even qualified to be my friend?" Darren responded.

Although he was unsure of the bloodsucker's strength, his own was capable of displaying the power of the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm. He did not see himself losing with that sort of strength within him.

Even if he could not defeat the bloodsucker, offering him his blood was absolutely out of the question.

"I do not want to force you into submission. If I did, your blood would turn bitter. But it seems I must do what I have to since you're being so stubborn. Once I've killed you, I'll gift your blood to my subordinates!"

Whoosh!

Carthy spread his large wings and his eyes filled with blood vitality as his aura turned menacing and bloody.

Darren could feel that his aura was easy enough for him to handle. As it turned out, the strength of this bloodsucker was not all that impressive.

Carthy's bloody claw stretched out rapidly, attempting to grab at Darren's neck and take a firm, deadly grip. Darren shifted himself slightly and Carthy slid past his target. He flailed back again without hesitation to try and get hold of Darren, but was still unable to touch him.

After a dozen more failed attempts, he finally gave in and stopped.

His frustration mounting, he opened his mouth, baring his sharp teeth in anger.

This human was much faster than he had imagined!

"It's my turn now," Darren said with such strength and confidence in his voice.

His face cold and unforgiving, he waved his sword around.

Boom!

Majestic sword intent filled every inch of space around them.

Startled and unnerved, Carthy took off upwards and disappeared in an instant.

The sword intent struck many of the bat-like winged creatures surrounding the Thunder Bird, sending a great deal of them plummeting to the ground.

This single strike had killed at least a few thousand of them.

"Who is this guy?"

"How is it possible that he's so powerful?"

"Oh my God! His sword intent is so unbelievably terrifying, even more than some warriors at the Celestial God Realm I've seen!"

"Is it possible we might actually be saved? Thank God!"

The rest on the Thunder Bird were both surprised and pleased when they felt the intense power of Darren's sword intent. They filled with a sudden hope they had thought was lost to them.

This young man was certainly not as ordinary as he seemed; his strength was in fact beyond what they could have imagined him having! It was no wonder he dared to stand up to Carthy. They were all uplifted by the reality that someone could actually save them.

"Sir, please save us. We would be ever so grateful."

Half of them quickly scurried behind Darren in the hope that he would protect them.

"Get away from me!" Darren erupted.

His sword intent swirled and his killing intent was fierce.

"What's the matter?"

"We are all humans, sir. Why won't you protect us?"

Everyone exchanged looks of dismay. Was this person so selfish that he did not care to save his own kind when they were in danger?

"I'll only say this once more. Get away from me, or I will behead you," Darren said, his tone getting colder.

They did not move, deliberately ignoring Darren's threats. He then felt he had to make an example of them and released a stream of sword intent and cut off an arm of one of them!

These cowards had just begged for mercy from the bloodsucker but now came to him for protection when they realized he was much stronger. What a ridiculous bunch! He would rather save a dog than save these cowards.

The people were now scared stiff. They soon scuttled off out of fear that Darren might kill them if they stayed.

Hostility, resentment and killing intent rushed into Darren's body. With their hopes of protection shattered, they now had even greater hostility towards Darren than the group with Ellis did.

Darren sneered at the thought of these pitiful people. 'Hate me as much as you can. It will only improve my cultivation base that much more!' he thought happily.

Carthy landed in front of Darren again, staring him down with darkness rising in his eyes.

"There are not many powerful warriors like you among the humans."
