Nobilis of War novel Chapter 203

North Monster King was smart enough to figure out this weakness and target one of the avatars. In his opinion, defeating all five together was impossible, but maybe defeating one at a time was more plausible. By doing that, he would not only hinder the growth of the avatar, but also suppress Scott's power.

Now that the plan had been laid out, they felt they had a better chance of taking out those avatars. With his last effort, Divine Bull King took out one avatar together with North Monster King.

Their attacks fell hard on the avatar with a resounding thud.

Scott sensed the danger, but it was too late to order his avatar to dodge. The avatar went flying backwards from the lethal blow, the sound of its bones cracking clear in the silent sky. As if a sack of sand fell down and bore a big hole into his chest, blood began splattering out and flecking the ground below. The avatar then fell to the ground, exploding into flames and disappeared.

Noting his temporary setback, Scott snorted in anger. He regarded his opponents with cold eyes.

He was not discouraged, though. He could clearly see that he only needed one big blow to end Divine Bull King's life as he had almost run out of energy and his devastating injury had already buried one of his feet in the ground. Scott decided to finish him so he could eliminate one of his threats, enabling him to get the upper hand.

In order to completely obliterate Divine Bull King's existence, he decided to play a trick and strike him when he was defenseless. Using his spiritual sense, Scott instructed his remaining three avatars to generate the most powerful dragon shadows they could manage and charge hard towards North Monster King instead of towards Divine Bull King. He himself also engaged in the fight to ensure Divine Bull King would die from his blow.

The coming of the direct and power-packed blow terrified North Monster King beyond words. Hurriedly, he summoned a thicker purple mist and attempted to block those dragon shadows from hurting him.

He had no idea that he had fallen right into Scott's trick. Before his purple mist could even make contact upon Scott's dragon shadows, the dragon shadows had already veered off and charged towards Divine Bull King. Since Scott and his avatars were prepared, the mist didn't even reach them and they reached their target without a problem.

It was only at this moment that North Monster King finally understood what was happening. He realized that Scott acted like that to trick everyone. "His target is you!" he cried in horror as he turned to his partner.

He wanted to run and help him, but it was a tad too late.

Before he could even summon another wave of purple mist to defend his partner, the dragon shadows had already reached Divine Bull King. Scott and his avatars sent blow after blow, not showing the slightest mercy.

Divine Bull King was thrown into the sky, yet Scott didn't stop raining punches on him to the point that Divine Bull King's body felt like a sack of potatoes more than a body with flesh and blood. Concentrating all his energy on his legs, Scott kicked him back towards the ground.

Divine Bull King's body dived towards the ground like a bird that lost its wings.

A few seconds later, Divine Bull King finally hit the ground with a loud thud, his body briefly shaking the earth upon and his fall creating clouds of dust that blanketed the air. His chance of surviving that attack and fall looked extremely bleak. Even if he was still alive, there was just simply no way that he could strike back at Scott again.

"Damn it!" North Monster King cursed in rage as he bolted away and ran towards the depths of the demonic monster domain.

He knew that fighting would only put his life at risk, so he decided to retreat and hide from Scott. Unlike Divine Bull King, he had always been cautious and discreet about everything he did. A losing battle was out of the question.

"Oh, running away, are you?"

Scott mocked as he chased after him. There was no way he was going to let him slip through his fingers this time.

The result of the fight was now crystal clear. Both demonic monster kings were doomed and would likely die by Scott's hands.

Watching the fight on the ground, Elder Star could not help but experience a great sense of appreciation for how majestic and compelling that power Scott had summoned.

He had no idea that Scott had the help of the Dragon Saliva Fruit this time. Otherwise, he would not be so powerful as to be able to defeat Divine Bull King so easily. He could have defeated one of them if he tried, but when it came to defeating both of them together, it would prove to be much harder as demonic monster kings were very powerful.

"Do you see now, Elder Star? You can rest assured that Scott will win. He can ensure your safety," Darren said with a smile. "You can just go with relief and tend to your injuries," he advised. Darren's solicitous words pleased Elder Star.

"You are right, brother. There is nothing to fear now that we have such a prominent ally. Do remember to visit my Heavenly Palace Sect and see me when you get a chance," Elder Star offered. With that, he hoped his desire to be on good terms with Darren and Scott was communicated well.

Even though Elder Star had a much more distinguished status, he didn't mind calling Darren "brother." Obviously, he wanted to prove his wish for them to have a renewed relationship.

Darren accepted his generous invitation without hesitation. "Okay, that is a deal. I will pay you a visit when I have some spare time," Darren said.

Elder Star nodded and sat down as he tended to his injuries with his vital energy.

Darren did not stand there and wait for the fight to end as he knew that they were protected by Scott's defensive skill. No demonic monster under the sixth level would be able to break through his spellbound area. There were originally two other mighty demonic monsters that could have broken through it in the beginning. They had been peering at the battle from a safe distance all this time, but seeing Divine Bull King had been defeated, they ran away with their tails between their legs.

Utilizing his vital energy, Darren left Elder Star and flew straight towards where Divine Bull King was lying. It was not difficult for him to locate Divine Bull King because the massive crater on the ground gave his location away.

Darren did not do it without reason. He actually had a plan for the whole combat from the very beginning.

He had always wondered how much talent he would assimilate from killing a demonic monster king ever since he discovered his ability. Having a motionless monster king in front of him was a rare opportunity and he wouldn't let his chance slip away.

Since Divine Bull King was already on the verge of death, he didn't need to use too much energy in killing him. Darren still felt he should be very cautious, though, because Divine Bull King was still powerful enough to slap him to death.

So, as gingerly as he could, Darren crept towards the depths of the crater, excitement filling him as he thought about the power he was going to assimilate from Divine Bull King.
