Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1502

The Devil King's attitude made Darren feel a little uneasy.

While the Devil King might've been the lowest-level creature in the abyss, no one dared underestimate his strength. He was, at the very least, at the preliminary stage of the Deputy God Realm.

There was no way Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar stood a chance against him.

If they dared oppose the Devil King, their plot was bound to be exposed.

Darren's eyes darted about nervously. What should they do? "My real body,

I have an idea," the Rule Soul Avatar told him through his spiritual sense.

"What is it?" Darren demanded anxiously.

"In thirty seconds, I will use the Time Standstill to freeze him for three seconds. You will have that much time to make a move and wound him at a vulnerable spot: his neck. That way, when the Time Standstill's effect wears off, the Devil King will be left confused. Unable to understand how we inflicted a wound on him without moving, he will think we're very powerful." The Rule Soul Avatar laid out his plan.

While trapped in a Time Standstill law, one wouldn't have the capacity to think. Consequently, they wouldn't have any concept of what was happening during this period.

The Devil King only suspected that Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar were not as strong as they looked. If they cooperated with each other to hurt him this way, he would not even know how the wound on his neck was caused. He could only think of Darren as a peerless master.

"Okay. Let's do it," Darren said with nod.

"What are you afraid of?" the Devil King roared. He had provoked the two creatures before, but they hadn't responded in kind. This further confirmed his theory that they weren't as strong as they were letting on.

Three seconds, six seconds, nine seconds...

Thirty seconds later, the Rule Soul Avatar quietly activated the Time Standstill.

Whoosh!

Then, Darren made his move.

Whoosh!

He swung a sword strike filled with black god's power. In the next moment, a line of blood appeared on the neck of the Devil King.

It took him less than two seconds to complete the whole process.

Then, the effects of the Time Standstill wore off. Confused, the Devil King felt a piercing pain on his neck out of nowhere. Purple blood trickled down onto his chest.

The Devil King took two staggering steps backward

at the sight of his own blood dripping from the tip of Darren's blade. He was absolutely stunned. When did Darren attack him? How come he didn't even feel it happen? Fear began to well in his heart; he thought that Darren was an unbeatable master, almost like a god!

"Next time, it will be your head." Darren shot the Devil King a murderous look.

"Sir, there has been a misunderstanding... I... I..." The Devil King got on his knees and trembled, at a loss for words.

Fearing for his life, the Devil King avoided offending the master before him any further. Little did he know that, in actuality, Darren was no match for him.

In fact, even if Darren could kill the Devil King, he wouldn't do that. He relied on the Devil King to find traces of the human race in the abyss.

"Quit blabbering!" Darren spat coldly.

Ten days passed. By then, a large amount of their power had been sucked away by the stinky green mist.

"We might be able to hold on, but the baby..." Darren gritted his teeth in frustration. He was afraid that the baby would die of corrosion any time now, despite the protection of the god's power.

As the days went by, the Rule Soul Avatar had been silently sitting cross-legged, thinking of solutions to get out of here.

Whoosh!

Just then, the Rule Soul Avatar's eyes popped open, gleaming in the dark.

"My real body, I know what you need," the Rule Soul Avatar said. "A believer."

"A believer?"

Darren echoed mindlessly. A moment later, it suddenly dawned on him.

"Yes!"

He finally understood what the Rule Soul Avatar meant.

If Darren accepted a believer in the abyss, the powerful creature with dark gold eyes would definitely detect their movements. Then, the creature would undoubtedly launch a powerful attack.

Such a powerful force was enough to blow up the Nether Dragon King! This would be the best chance for Darren and the others to escape.
