Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 575

"What did you say?" barely hearing the words that were muttered by Darren, the elder man looked and asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just never mind that." Casting a pretentious expression like he had just said nothing, the confused Darren shook his head.

However, a thought bothered Darren. It was the fact that the Sacred Palace knew that Darren could transform into a fiend before. But the Sacred Palace had no idea where he had obtained that power and capability of transforming into a fiend. Probably it was because Darren was not worthy of their attention at that time.

"Now that I have relayed to you the facts I know about the mutant, please take the situation into account. If you will, please hurry to the forbidden areas and try everything to stop the catastrophe from happening as soon as possible," pleaded the elder man. After which, he utilized some runes and procured on his hands something valuable, which he handed towards Darren, saying, "These are the Killing Elixir and the Soul Exploding Rune. Take these with you. They might come in handy in case things get rough for you." The elder man's tone was foreboding as he handed the rune and elixir to Darren.

At the sound of it, Darren thought to himself that the old man still wanted him to die.

But before Darren could say anything, the elder man continued, "You are such a genius. It will be a pity if we lose you. You can go to the Lotus Holy Land and hand these two things over to the guardian there. He knows what to do, and need not say any other things."

Hearing his words, Darren immediately understood what the elder man had meant. He wanted the elder who was responsible for guarding the forbidden area of the Lotus Holy Land to do his part in stopping the most powerful mutant.

"Must someone die to stop that mutant?" For the threat the task imposed, and the uncertainty of it, Darren sighed and dropped his head low at the same time. He was reluctant to follow the elder man's order, for he knew that he was putting his life on the line.

"Young man, you have experienced less and don't know how cruel the crisis of human extinction is. You just need to give these two things to the guardian. We won't force him to sacrifice, and we won't even communicate with him. It's up to him to decide what to do," the elder man replied with a persuasive voice that somehow entice Darren's conscience.

"Fine, I'll do it, for the sake of the human race." Convinced, at last, Darren nodded. The resistance and reluctance that he felt earlier were somehow relieved at the thought that he would be doing the endeavor for humanity's welfare—or least humanity's existence.

"Our lives depend on you, Darren." The elder man cupped his hands and lowered his head to bow politely towards Darren, and his figure increasingly wore off because the rule power projection was unable to maintain itself anymore.

'As far as I know, the elder who is guarding the Lotus Holy Land is a five-star grand warrior. Even if I gave him these two things, could he stop the mutant?' left alone now, Darren thought worriedly while looking at the rune and elixir in his hands.

For reasons unknown to him, Darren felt guilty and thought that he was a little selfish at this moment.

When the elder man implied that he had to sacrifice himself to stop the mutant, he was very disgruntled and showed strong resistance to the idea. Contrariwise, when the elder man had a change of mind and asked the guardian to do it in place of him, Darren only felt sympathetic and not so angry.

"Maybe it's just out of human nature," shutting the insinuation off his head, Darren sighed slightly.
