Nobilis of War novel Chapter 70

A huge explosion followed.

Waves filled the air as the purple lightning and the sword intent from Darren's sword collided.

The confrontation lasted for a while before the purple lightning sword began to darken. The purple light gradually dulled and its sword intent began to disappear.

Darren breathed hard to puke a mouthful of blood. The purple lightning sword hurt him pretty badly.

"You're good but not as good as me. I defeated you at last." Darren declared with a grin on his face.

"Darren, take this magical sword. This is your reward for winning this fight. It's very powerful." Mathew's shadow told Darren by channeling the message in his mind.

Darren leaped towards the purple lightning sword and held it in his hands.

"Drip your blood on it and you'll be its master forever." Mathew's voice sounded in Darren's ear again.

Without hesitation, Darren dripped several drops of his blood on the weapon. Suddenly, a strange feeling crept at him as something in him was connected with the sword. Their minds were suddenly one. Darren felt it.

"That's amazing. I like it. I have always wanted a good sword. With this purple lightning sword, I'll be able to embrace my sword skills to full scale," he said.

The purple lightning sword came to life and flashed fine purple lightning again after the ceremony. Numerous flashes of tiny, purple lightning appeared on its surface like ripples. Its unusual appearance revealed its equally unusual nature.

Suddenly, a resonant voice echoed from the sky as if God were speaking.

"Congratulations, boy! You've passed the test. Since you did it perfectly, I will give you something as a reward," it said.

After the unknown voice finished speaking, a tiny, wooden box appeared in front of Darren seemingly carried by a ray of white light. Darren reached out his hand, took the box, and leaped onto the bank.

He walked towards Elsa and stood by her closely. Excited, he opened the box. He was eager to know what it contained. Whoever owned the place seemed strong and powerful. He expected the reward to be just as spectacular.

A sweet fragrance filled the air as soon as he opened it. In the middle of the box was an elixir that emitted a faint, green light.

"Talent-upgrading Elixir!" Mathew's shadow exclaimed with excitement, a fire of ecstasy glinting in his eyes. "Master is so generous. You have only finished the first test but Master already gave you the Talent-upgrading Elixir as your reward!"

"What is the Talent-upgrading Elixir, Sir?" Elsa asked with a puzzled expression.
