Nobilis of War novel Chapter 141

"Everyone! Catch the monster core!"

Above the marsh, when the outer disciples heard the familiar voice, they all got excited. It was Darren and he was alive and safe.

They only knew that there was a big fight under the marsh, but sadly, they couldn't see anything clear. They had thought that the mud crocodile had killed Darren. Blast! It was the other way around. They didn't expect at all that in the next minute, a beautiful monster core flew out of the marsh. They were all relieved as they heard Darren's command to catch the monster core. It was evident that Darren had killed the demonic monster! How could they not be surprised? It was a do-or-die fight.

Deep in the marsh, Darren was quickly collecting the diabolic beast cores left by the mud crocodiles. There were about one hundred of them. It meant that he now had about one hundred points. It was easier than killing a demonic monster. His efforts were not in vain as his level was higher now.

After that, Darren flew out of the marsh, with a big smile on his face. But it didn't last long as he noticed his messy state now. He stopped mid-air, using his power to shake off the mud on his clothes. In the blink of an eye, his clothes became clean and dry again. He looked like he had never gotten dragged into the marsh by the king of mud crocodiles. No trace of the dispute earlier could be found.

"Hahaha. You are really something else. Unfortunately, the monster core belongs to us now."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice broke the silence, making Darren surprised.

Hearing it, Darren immediately turned his head to look at the person who talked. He was a disciple from the Ancient Family, and he was holding a monster core in his hand, looking at Darren with a smirk on his face. But Darren maintained an expressionless face with a deadly stare.

"Darren, he's a sneaky bastard! He has been hiding around the whole time! And he snatched the monster core the first chance he got! How coward!"

An outer disciple said angrily. But he couldn't do anything about it because the person who took their monster core was way stronger than them. They would only be hurt if they carelessly attacked them.

"Hey! Be careful with your words! I came across the monster core mid-air. Why do you make it sound like I took it from you?

Did I fight you for it? Did I hurt you at all?" The disciple from the Ancient Family said proudly, with a disgusting smirk on his face. How shameless he could be.

At the same time, a few disciples from the same family flew here too. The one leading them was the talented disciple from the Wei family, Rory. But Darren remained calmed and composed, thinking of what he should do now.

"Harry, good job,"

Rory praised in a proud tone and tapped Harry's shoulder.

Then he turned to Darren with a devilish smile and said, "Well, if you think it's unfair, just try and take it from us. You can beat him and even kill him. I won't fight you, I promise."

Beat him? For what? Kill him? No way!

Darren was not a fool. He knew he would be breaking the rules if he started a fight. If he really did that, he would not only lose this hunt but also be killed by the Holy Lord. So, of course, he couldn't do anything about it. His emanating aura cooled down.

"What a pity. I'm not the kind of person who will fight a dog when it took a bone that I threw away. There's no use fighting a petty dog at all who only knew how to take a bone that I've thrown already. Come on, let's go!" Darren said in a cold tone, then led his people away who were confused about his actions. They thought why Darren was not on pins and needles at all.

Unknowingly, a demonic monster core was only worth ten points. Darren had already collected more than one hundred superior diabolic beast cores by now. Why would he fight for a demonic monster core? That would be greediness and a waste of time.

"Huh! You are just pretending to be calm! Wait till the next match. I will beat the shit out of you!"

Rory shouted at Darren with fury. He got angry when he saw that Darren didn't fall for his tricks. But he couldn't do anything about Darren because he didn't dare to start a fight either.

"What a shame!"

A disciple standing beside Rory spat. "If it weren't for the rules, you can definitely kill him in a second, Rory! I wonder how terrified he can be."

"Rory, what should we do now? Darren and his people are getting away."

"Ha. That bastard. How dare he to ignore me?" Looking at the direction where Darren and his people disappeared, Rory firmly said, "We will just follow them. As soon as they kill a diabolic beast, we will snatch the diabolic beast core away. Just don't hurt anybody. You don't want to break the rules. I trust your speed. You are way faster than those losers. You got me?"

"Haha, that's a good idea, Rory! You are really smart. In this way, we can get more points easily. As long as that guy doesn't get in the first place, you can choose to kill him in the first round! I can't wait for it."

Meanwhile, the outer disciples followed Darren in silence. However, they did not fail to notice Rory's group following them.

"Darren, they are following us. What should we do?" an outer disciple said nervously.

Hearing the words, Darren turned his head around and found that it was true. His eyes immediately darkened when he realized what they wanted to do. He couldn't help but clench his teeth to suppress his anger.

"Well, if they are going to follow us, I will surely make them pay with their lives! It was a mistake that I let go of them earlier.

Listen, after we get into the dry forest, as soon as we find a demonic monster, you all just get away from me. You immediately find a place to hide, all right?"

Darren instructed. The outer disciples were all confused, but they all believed in Darren. So they just nodded their heads and restrained being stubborn as they feared for their lives as well.

Soon, they arrived at the dry forest. Darren used his spiritual sense and found that there were a few demonic monsters sound asleep not far away. He could tell that they were powerful. It might bring them tons of points. He felt delighted with that thought.

Meanwhile, Rory and his people were secretly following them, waiting to snatch the cores out of Darren's hand.
