Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1458

The resounding laughter was an obvious sign that something was definitely amiss.

Instead of bolting, the powerful man outside waited quietly for the blood pass to break!

This guy was very clever!

"I was too careless." Darren's expression darkened. His conscience wouldn't just let him leave Yolanda to suffer. Unfortunately, his eagerness to save her was exactly what gave the powerful man a chance to find a loophole.

"Let's go!"

The Rule Soul Avatar was the first to make a move. He swiftly activated the Spatial Law and took Darren to the other side of the blood pass.

Suddenly, several warriors at the top level of the Superior God Realm, along with Darren's subordinates from the bloodsucker race, followed suit and rushed over to the blood pass.

The powerful man was a top warrior of the Chaotic Region, and even a Bloodsucker Prince was no even match for him. Naturally, Darren and the others had no other choice but to quickly retreat.

They fled at an immense speed but a trail of gray aura quickly caught up with them. The speed of the gray aura was inhuman.

Simultaneously, everyone began to get a bad feeling about what was about to happen. Roland suddenly stopped and made a counterattack with his god's power.

"Darren, you have to get out of here. I'll manage the flank!" shouted Roland.

"Run away? That's ridiculous."

A shadow simply ignored Roland and stood intimidatingly in front of Darren and the others.

They stopped in their tracks at the sight of the shadow. Only the Rule Soul Avatar remained concealed in the space.

"Sir, we're just here to explore the area. If we disturbed you in any way, we'll immediately take our leave," explained Darren calmly.

"You think I was born yesterday? I didn't think anyone could get worse than the last patriarch of the Chu Clan. At least he would've never blatantly lied," spat the shadow in reply.

A cold sweat ran down Darren as he found himself at a loss for words.

It turned out that the man knew who he was. He must've been watching the situation this entire time.

"What the hell do you want then? Get to the point!" replied Darren callously. Honorifics didn't seem to matter anymore.

"Well, what else would I want? After I slay you, I'll occupy this last remaining land of the Chu Clan. I'll finally be the Territory Enfeoffing Emperor of the Chaotic Region!" the man cackled.

Once Darren died and the Five Dangerous Areas were occupied, the Chu Clan would completely disappear from Primitive Wilderness and become but a relic of history.

"So you mean there is nothing more to discuss here?" Darren asked.

"You're just some nobody. Why would I waste my precious time on you?" the man sneered.

Without a moment's hesitation, Darren summoned Elgin.

Boom!

A violent rumble shook through the space as blood vitality seemed to emerge from all spaces.

"How dare you attack my master! I'll make sure this will become your final resting place." Elgin stared knives at the gray figure with his cold eyes.

"What?"

The gray figure had no idea that Darren had managed to subdue Elgin. He thought Elgin died trying to make his way through the blood pass.

"Elgin, why did you double-cross your allies and stand on the side of this nobody? Was it because I didn't come to save you that time? If so, I believe you've terribly misunderstood me. I'd been trying to save you this entire time but I just couldn't manage to."

The gray figure made sure his tone was convincing, because the last thing he wanted to do was battle Elgin.

After all, Elgin was a Bloodsucker Prince. Even if he couldn't defeat the gray figure, he could make for an effective distraction.

Once Darren escaped to the Second Dangerous Area, the gray figure would have to wait a while before he'd be able to kill him. The Second Dangerous Area was not something he could just break through all by himself.

"Idiot, cut the bullshit. Either you leave by yourself, or you fight me to the death," replied Elgin coldly, his stare unwavering.

"Humph, I didn't think you were the type to be this ungrateful!" The gray shadow was a little pissed.

Elgin's blood vitality soared. He spread his three pairs of bloody wings. After a few beastly roars, he was ready to fight.

Tensions were high as Darren spoke to Carthy through his spiritual sense. "How is your father doing?" he asked.

"Dear Master, Elgin took the initiative to give blood to my father. Thanks to Elgin, my father has finally recovered," replied Carthy.

Actually, it was Darren who ordered Elgin to send blood to Carthy's father.
