Nobilis of War novel Chapter 275

Clang! Clang! Clang!

An ear-shattering sound reverberated as Finley's figure flickered in the sky. Disappearing on one side and appearing on another end, Finley moved swiftly. No one could follow him with their eyes. As he landed with a loud thud, he hit the Water Kylin with forceful thrusts of his palm continuously.

Caught unprepared by the attack, the Water Kylin was severely afflicted and whined painfully.

The enormous Water Kylin was famous in battles, known for his giant paws. In his previous encounters, he was able to smash numerous towering mountains into pieces. Surprisingly, in this situation, however, the Water Kylin could not even manage to touch Finley's body despite various attempts.

"How can this guy be so strong?" Witnessing the fight, Darren was surprised at Finley's skills. Knowing his strength, Darren had thought that Finley could slightly take the upper hand. The thought came into his mind when he remembered the fight between him and Finley the last time. However, now that Finley was facing the Water Kylin, Darren was shocked to see that the creature did not even stand a single chance to fight back.

After a short moment, a great roar resounded, and soon the Water Kylin's body was bleeding heavily on the ground. Both Darren and Finley waited for the creature to stand and fight back, but that was to no avail. Finley had put an end to the fight.

"I did it!" Finley's figure beamed with a triumphant smile as he appeared in front of Darren.

"Nice! Very good. You seem to have improved a lot these past few days. You have defeated an ancient legendary beast without even sweating." Darren lifted Finley's spirits by praising him for a well-fought battle. The Water Kylin was known as a potent and almost invincible creature. It was nearly as powerful as a two-star grand warrior, and Finley managed to defeat it in such a short time—a piece of cake for him.

"Well, it was just like killing a mosquito, easy-peasy! I am about to advance into becoming a three-star grand warrior. Defeating the Water Kylin would be way too easy for my current level. Oh, yes, before I forgot, I must thank you for your magic herbs," still on cloud nine, Finley said with heightened satisfaction.

"Magic herbs? What magic herbs do you mean?" Confused, Darren could not grab hold of what Finley was referring to. No matter how hard he searched in the back of his mind, still he could not remember giving some herbs to Finley. When the bell ringed on his mind, however, he dashed aside in a flash and stepped into the second space. What he saw in there took Darren by surprise and made him furious.

In the second space, Darren was astounded to see that the whole place had transformed into something totally different from the last time he visited it. The magic herbs that had been growing and occupied most of the area were now gone. Barren and deserted, not a single plant was seen in the land.

"Shit! You are such a bad guy, Finley! You have used all my magic herbs!" Infuriated with what he just discovered, Darren stepped back to the first space and surprised Finley with a kick.
