Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1454

"From your same race?" Darren asked incredulously. He couldn't hide his surprise. Were there bloodsuckers in the Chaotic Region? He found it almost unbelievable.

"Yes, they are among the crowd. But they are very good at hiding the aura of their bloodline, so I can't pinpoint their specific location yet," Carthy said with certainty.

"Where is your father?" Darren asked. "Let him find out for us."

Carthy sighed, "Master, my father was seriously injured when he fought against the bloodline of the Defiant Bloodsucker Prince, and he is still in seclusion to recover. If we disturb him and he gets agitated, his condition might worsen. If his meridians burst, it could be incurable, so perhaps..." He trailed off, a worried look on his face. Of course, if Darren ordered him to wake up his father, then Carthy would have no choice but to do so.

"Forget it," said Darren. "If they're here, I'll find them myself."

Carthy's father was now one of Darren's believers. As such, he was a powerful "secret weapon" and Darren wanted him back at full strength.

For now, he would have to act on his own, trusting that Carthy was right about the bloodsuckers infiltrating here.

For several moments, Darren was silent, deep in thought.

"Patriarch Darren, let's go," Roland said eventually, and Darren snapped out of his reverie.

"Let's go," Darren said. After all, there was no great urgency at the moment. He could afford to be patient. He paid the divine stones and stepped into the transmission array.

He and his companions stood together in the array, waiting. Suddenly someone tapped Darren on the shoulder. He turned to see who it was.

"What is it?" he asked, frowning.

A thin young man stared back at him without speaking.

"What is it?" Darren repeated more loudly.

"Nothing," said the thin young man.

He walked away from Darren, and Darren looked after him, feeling oddly disturbed.

He wasn't sure why, but although the young man was a stranger, something about him had felt very familiar.

As Darren watched, the man joined the rest of the crowd, and soon vanished from his line of sight.

In that instant, a light flashed over the transmission array, and Darren and his companions disappeared.

They arrived at a desolate area, where nothing disturbed the barren landscape except for tens of thousands of people who had seemingly been transported here along with Darren and the others.

"Why are so many people coming to the edge of the Five Dangerous Areas?" Darren muttered. He was unsure why there was such a crowd in this place.

Carthy communicated with him using his spiritual sense. "Master, all the people around you are from the bloodsucker race!" He sounded horrified.

Darren's eyes widened and he looked more closely at the thousands of people around them. He realized that they had very strange auras, although he hadn't been able to detect the reason for the weirdness. If Carthy was right, then their auras were strange because they were all trying to cover the fact that they were bloodsuckers.

What were these bloodsuckers doing here?

Immediately, Darren decided he would kill them all.

He did not bother to second-guess his decision. After all, there was no way that these aliens were infiltrating the human race with benign intentions. It would save everyone trouble if he just killed them all now.

Darren turned to two of his companions, who were killers of the Superior God Realm. "Let's kill everyone here right now," he said casually.

The two of them were dumbfounded. Realizing he was serious, they replied through their spiritual sense, "Darren, are you crazy? What reason could you possibly have for slaughtering all of these people? You're going to attract strong enemies if you act this way."

"They are from the bloodsucker race," he answered.

Before they could react to Darren's astonishing statement, something unexpected interrupted them. They quickly postponed any plan of attack and concealed their own powerful auras.

Without warning, two balls of gray light shot down from the sky. On the ground, in full view of the tens of thousands of people around them, they reformed into two human-shaped figures.

"I didn't expect you to send such a weak team here. This doesn't seem to be in accordance with our agreement," said the first figure in a dissatisfied tone, glancing around at the crowd.

The other figure said, sounding perturbed, "Humph! My people are enough to break through the trivial blood pass. Once the blood pass is broken through, we can naturally rush in. What are you worried about?"

"I'm afraid that these pieces of trash won't be able to break through the blood pass!" said the first figure, scowling.

"Watch what you're saying, or I'll cancel this whole thing and stop cooperating," said the other figure coldly.

The first figure calmed down and spoke in a less agitated tone. "Sir Elgin, I just want to make sure everything goes well. Since you believe we can break through the blood pass, I won't say anything more. I hope our cooperation will go well." The other figure nodded.

"That's good." Then the second figure turned to the people in the crowd, who were watching them without moving.

"My people, listen to me now. Kill everyone around you who does not belong to the same race as you!"

There was a series of loud bangs,

as dozens of bodies were bombarded by the blood light.

Real humans who had been sent here via the transmission array dropped dead on the ground, shocked by the suddenness of the attack.

Darren and his companions were at the very edge of the crowd. When they saw what was happening, they immediately prepared themselves to fight back.

But to their surprise, the bloodsuckers closest to them didn't even attempt an attack.
