Nobilis of War novel Chapter 96

Several Elders gaped at Darren. They dared not believe his words, nor did they dare to deny him outright. Darren was like a divine miracle that they could not deny nor give up.

"Darren, what are your odds of success if we go and distract him?"

The Elder of the School of Spear Skill stepped forward and asked Darren in a solemn voice.

"Elder Clark, you will put yourself in jeopardy if you try to distract him, you may even die. Please think twice,"

Darren said. Everyone knew in the bottom of their hearts that tangling with a Wonder Realm master was to bring about one's own destruction.

"Ha ha ha, a true man should live his life with an indomitable spirit. Why should I feel frightened if I can die with honor and dignity? I am not afraid of dying. I am happy to see a genius like you before my end," Clark said in a rich and powerful tone, causing several disciples from the School of Spear Skill to kneel down in silence as tears fell from their cheeks.

"You are a hero, Elder Clark. My odds are over fifty percent if you can break his attention from me!" With the help of Wayne's rune, Darren was quite confident he could succeed.

"Fifty percent?" It was clear on their faces that Wayne and several Elders did not believe Darren's words, though they kept their silence.

"If Darren says he is confident in defeating Simon, then I believe him wholeheartedly. Count me in on this plan!" Thomas waved his sleeve and unsheathed his long sword with a flourish.

Then, he turned to Darren and said, "I was mistaken about you before and I apologize for my actions towards you in the past. Promise me that you will take good care of Elsa if you two make it out alive. As her father, I feel that I have failed her."

As Thomas's voice broke off, tears coursed down Elsa's cheeks as she felt the emotion in his words. Of course, Darren had never hated Thomas. He knew the man was simply keen on protecting his reputation.

"Elder Thomas, please feel assured. I promise you Elsa will be safe even if I die," Darren said firmly.

"No, I don't want any of you to die." Elsa wrapped her arms around Darren and sobbed against his chest. .

"Damn you! Now that that old crock Michael cannot fight anymore, I look forward to seeing how you will struggle for your puny lives! I want you to die in unbearable pain, you insects," said the young man who came from the Holy Land. He had never been hurt like this before.

"Young master, please take revenge for my grand uncle! Kill them all!" Alan said, bowing and begging like a sycophant slave.

"Piss on your revenge! Even your grand uncle was just a worthless mutt, why should I disgrace myself to avenge a dog? You are putting your foot in your mouth. Do yourself a favor and slap yourself in the face," the young master said with despise.
