Nobilis of War novel Chapter 97

"Hmmm, you are more arrogant than me, little insect! Soon you will know your folly to have come into this world," Simon said in a fury.

As his words left him, his figure flashed like a line making shapes in the Shield Dome. In the blink of an eye, dozens of disciples had lost their limbs. Cleaved arms and legs covered the Shield Dome like a slaughterhouse.

"How's it going? You must be furious to see your fellow disciples mangled like slaughtered sheep. Do you feel useless?" Simon said, his taunt in his voice. "You are still wet behind the ears, little warrior. Your little girlfriend is exceedingly beautiful. I wonder if you will still like her when her face is torn and her legs broken?"

Simon now stepped toward Elsa.

Panic shot through Darren's heart. His breath expanded violently before Simon could make his move.

"Fuck you!" Darren gave a loud shout and shot toward Simon like an arrow.

Darren had not yet used his last resort. He only wished to prevent Simon from harming Elsa.

Bang!

Darren was hit by Simon's palm and flew backward. "Save me, Elsa!" Darren called out as he was pushed back.

Suppressed by Simon's aura of death, Elsa was dumbfounded and could not move an inch. She did not regain her composure until she heard Darren's voice and saw his body being thrown by Simon's blow. Without hesitation, she placed a drop of blood essence on the rune paper Darren gave her before and triggered its effect.

In an instant, Elsa's figure faded away with the glint of the rune paper.

"Hmm? You want to escape?" Simon found something was wrong and delivered his palm into Elsa's torso.

A stream of blood spurted from Elsa's fading figure before she could vanish completely.

"Darren… " Only now did Elsa realize that Darren was saving her. What he had told her before was a lie. The rune paper would teleport the one who carried it.

"Elsa!" Thomas did not realize his daughter had escaped. In a towering rage, his sword intent erupted from his body and he dashed at Simon. "I will kill you!" he hissed between his clenched teeth.

But now, a wicked smile crept onto Darren's lips. "Now I have no more scruples, let us fight to the death!"

Darren's armor could block the attack from a Wonder Realm master two times. The first time he blocked the weakened Omnipotent Talent Skill, and this time he blocked Simon's palm attack. For this reason, he was nearly unharmed.

"Elders, attack him now!" Darren shouted at the Elders as his figure retracted.

Clark, Thomas, and Ezra all responded to Darren's voice at once and dispatched their most potent skills against Simon. Massive energies came together in a single force against Simon.

"Hmmm, you are overestimating your strength!" Simon said. Despite their best efforts, the powers of the Elders were ineffective. For Simon, kill them would be like swatting a mosquito.

But even to swat a mosquito, a person needed to make the motion to pull back his hand.

Just as Simon readied his move to kill the Elders, Darren's rune lit up again. He raised his purple lightning sword and slashed down at Simon. Enormous sword intent exploded from the sword and permeated through the air.

Simon just frowned at Darren's attack. 'Do you really think I am afraid of your sword intent when I am in the prime of my power? You will die a horrible death, ' he thought.

Then with one hand, he dismantled the combined attack of the Elders. And he kept his other hand free while keeping a close eye on Darren's each and every move.

'Young Master has told me not to kill these men, he wants to see them be tortured, ' Simon reminded himself.

"Fuck off!" Simon blocked Clark's spear thrust, and in a single motion, he turned and delivered a violent punch that was powerful enough to send boulders of earth and rock in Darren's direction.

Darren did not avoid the incoming debris. Black scales grew across his body as his demon core spun wildly in his elixir field. Combined with the defenses of his armor, Darren hoped it would be strong enough to withstand Simon's palm attack.

Bang!

Blood gushed from Darren's mouth as he was struck by Simon's palm attack, but Darren continued his path forward, closing in on Simon despite his injury. He had received more damage than he anticipated, but it was not enough to put him down for good.

'Hmm, come then! I can withstand your thousand-fold sword intent with my body alone, ' Simon thought. With absolute confidence, Simon downplayed Darren's sword intent. He would not believe Darren's power could threaten his life.

"Go to die!" A sinister smile appeared on Darren's face as he approached Simon.

"Omnipotent Talent Skill, Blood Dragon Phantom!" Darren shouted hoarsely. As his blood essence burnt, a young man with Darren's appearance appeared.

"What?" A stern expression broke on Simon's face as if he had seen a horrible vision. This was far beyond his cognition. How could a Spirit Realm juvenile possess an Omnipotent Talent Skill? It was too incredible to believe.

It meant two Darrens and two thousand-fold sword intent!

"Omnipotent Talent Skill, Void Divine Fist!" Now, Simon finally felt the deadly threat from Darren's wild sword intent. He immediately carried out his own Omnipotent Talent Skill after repelling another Elder.

His strength at the Wonder Realm was carried out to its fullest extent, causing a rumbling that echoed between heaven and earth like tens of thousands of demonic monsters were galloping.

"Young master, I will have to kill him under such circumstances. There is no holding back now," Simon said silently, as a colossal fist shot against Darren like it had descended from the depths of hell.

Without any fear, Darren gave a devious smile and gently uttered a single word, "Mingle!"

This was the second stage of the Blood Dragon Phantom.

The two figures of Darren joined together in a flash as the blood essence inside both Darrens burnt wildly.

The newly combined Darren now contained double the two thousand-fold sword intent.

"Four thousand-fold sword intent! Die!" Darren shouted, his face twisted by rage.
