Nobilis of War novel Chapter 64

Jerome was shocked when Darren brandished the sword. He sensed a significant threat to himself.

Darren used the first eight skills of the Profound Nine Sword Skills, all at once, smoothly and perfectly. When in a rage, he had sudden enlightenment regarding the ninth skill.

The Profound Nine Sword Skills was a superior martial arts manual—every one of its first eight skills was already very powerful combined with the internal force of the sword. However, after they were perfectly combined, the power became overwhelming. Just as Jerome had said, Darren would become the most powerful warrior of the Spirit Realm. Hardly could anybody in the same realm win against him.

In this situation, Darren only showed part of his strength. He used the sword instead of simultaneously using the sword and the saber. Had he used both weapons along with the superior martial arts skills, his power would be unimaginable.

However, that was not all the power Darren had. His ace was the use of the demonic internal force, which was more powerful than the internal force of the sword and the saber. What was more, after transforming into a demonic mode, his body would become extraordinarily strong. Nevertheless, he would never use it unless he was facing a death threat. This was Darren's life-saving recourse.

Darren was already that powerful at the fifth stage of the Spirit Realm. If he reached the ninth stage of the Spirit Realm, he might not lose in a battle with a cultivator at the early stages of the Mysterious Realm.

It was well known that it was hard to challenge a cultivator at the higher stages of your realm, and it was almost impossible to challenge anyone at a higher realm. In the history of Doriath and among all the sects, there was no such case where a cultivator at the Spirit Realm had challenged or defeated a cultivator at the Mysterious Realm.

No matter how strong Darren was or how many cards he had in his hand, it was impossible for him to challenge or defeat a cultivator at the Mysterious Realm. After all, he was only at the fifth stage of the Spirit Realm.

Owing to the massive power gaps between realms, Dalton, who was at the ninth stage of the Spirit Realm, was afraid of Jerome.

In the blink of an eye, Darren approached Dalton while brandishing the sword with strong power.

The force of Dalton's saber could not be overlooked, considering his unique skills. The sword and the saber collided at an insane speed, which shook the barren mountain violently, like an earthquake.

"What a perfect sword skill!" Although both Elsa's strength and talent had diminished, she still had a good knowledge of sword skills. She was shocked by Darren's sword skills. "How can he be so strong?"

Dalton could hardly resist the internal force of Darren's sword, and he was forced to step back quickly. It seemed like he was going to be torn to pieces by it.

"Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!"

As the sword cut Dalton's body, terrible scars appeared.

"What's wrong? What the hell is going on?" Dalton roared, almost in tears, "How could this bastard be so strong? It's impossible!"

"Bang!"

After trying to resist Darren's attack, Dalton's body flew like a cannonball and was pinned to the mountain wall several hundred feet away.

Jerome could not help but knit his eyebrows tightly at this sight. He started to regard Darren as a significant threat. Jerome was afraid that Darren might easily defeat him when he reached the Mysterious Realm. He had never seen a youngster as talented as Darren.

"If Darren were in the Mysterious Realm, his name would be listed on the 'Talent Roll', which is known for its authority in judging talents in the continent, including the Holy Lands. Even at my level, I won't rank in the first one hundred thousand talents," muttered Jerome.

"Watch out! Darren!" Elsa, who had kept an eye on the mountain wall where Dalton had been pinned, suddenly cried out. She saw a bloody figure rushing toward Darren.

Darren, who had been focused on Jerome, was alarmed and switched his attention to the figure flying toward him.

"Go to hell, son of a bitch! Ha-ha!"

Dalton, wearing an evil expression, looked hideous with the horrible scars and the blood on his face.

Darren did not notice the change in Dalton's aura, until he approached him. It had increased remarkably.

"Huh? How did the saber in his hand begin to burn with blood?" After muttering these words, Darren took two steps back.

"Ah! The blood essence of a cultivator at the top stage of the Mysterious Realm is attached to that saber!" Elsa realized what happened to the saber, as Thomas had once left some of his blood essence on her sword.
