Nobilis of War novel Chapter 274

The sky's sunlight was blocked by a flock of black birds which fiercely fell on Darren and the superior talents. The black birds looked menacing in the sky.

"These raptors are almost at the Spirit Realm, and their power won't be suppressed by heaven and earth. We've got to do something but exactly what should we do?" one superior talent asked.

If, however, the black birds were in the outside world, anyone of them could easily wipe them out swiftly. On the other hand, here was the Raksa Sea. Since the superior talents' powers had been repressed, the man with the strongest cultivation base among them was just at the fifth to the sixth stage of the Spirit Realm.

In just the next breath, countless birds had surrounded them from all sides.

Whistle!

They waved their weapons to slash the black birds. However, the birds seemed to have no end, flying over them continuously. The superior talents fought bravely although at times they felt it was a worthless fight.

"Ah! Ah!" a superior talent whose cultivation base was only at the third stage of the Spirit Realm cried out. Weaker than the others, he was immediately fenced in by the black birds. The flesh of his arms were gnawed away in three seconds, revealing his off-white bones. From the look on his face you could tell he was in agony, despite fighting bravely.

"Protect Mason!" Robb yelled. He and some other relatively powerful superior talents surrounded the wounded young man in a circle to limit the birds' access to Mason.

"Damn! If it goes on like this, we will all end up dead. Someone must take considerable risks to resist the birds so that the others can be covered in order to evacuate and reach the underground cavern," the leading superior talent, Robb, shouted to the others, after he had carefully thought it through in his mind.

"I will do it!" shouted an enthusiastic voice.

"Let me try!" shouted another excited voice.

Several superior talents were rushing to undertake the task despite the fact that the man covering the others would very likely die, with almost no chance of escaping. It was a very brave, gallant decision to make.

"Go now! Leave them to me!" shouted a voice. At that point, Darren elbowed his way out and stood in front of the others, hacking at the birds darting at him one by one endlessly.

"No. Darren, your power is too weak to shoulder the task. I will do it!" Tom stated as he hurried to Darren immediately, fighting the birds alongside him with all his energy, to prove he could do it.

"Tom, I assure you that I know how to deal with them!" Darren said, and then he pushed Tom away with one palm. Tom was startled, but Darren was determined.

Whoosh!

Darren dashed out surprisingly quickly, with the sword light sparkling along his way, and patches of the black birds trickling down. The contradiction was bizarre.

"This... How did he do that?" asked a voice. All the superior talents were astonished by the scene. However, they all understood that no time should be wasted in wrestling with such issues. Since Darren was able to resist the birds, they ran away while killing the birds until they finally entered the underground cavern. They had finally reached their destination.

They rolled a large rock to block the cave entrance upon their arrival, only leaving a crack to observe Darren's status and to breathe. They felt safe in this cavern. The rocks here were very hard, so they didn't have to worry about the black birds' breaking into the cavern, or anyone else for that matter.

"What fast speed!"

They saw Darren shuttling back and forth among the flock of black birds, slaughtering them, while still remaining unharmed. They knew they had picked the right man for the task right then.

"Hasn't his power been suppressed? " Someone was confused.

"I don't think so. His power is just at the Spirit Realm. What he counts on is his fast speed which is a thousand times faster than that of the black birds. Hence, these beasts are not able to catch up with him." Robb immediately saw through the key point, and what was confusing became as clear as day.

In the next two hours, Darren had slaughtered more than a hundred thousand black birds. Their blood reddened the sea, and the bloody smell surged to the sky.

Clatter!

All of a sudden, a monstrous wave peaked, and brought about a terrible aura. It did not bode well.

"Darren, watch out!

It must be the bloody smell that draws the bloodthirsty creature in the sea," one of the superior talents shouted to Darren, as his eyes were transfixed on the sea and what was coming out of it.

"Eh?" Darren also noticed the danger behind his back. He promptly dodged it and flew towards the underground cavern where the other superior talents stayed.

Roar!

Along with the deadly sound, a huge figure ran to Darren with a smash, much faster than Darren.

"Jesus! It's a Water Kylin, a type of legendary beast from the Ancient Ages," one superior talent said in horror, eyes wide open from the terror.
