Nobilis of War novel Chapter 280

"Don't push me. You asked for this!" Darren believed that the evil cultivator would be exposed once the host was killed. If that happened, everyone would know the truth.

He then rallied his energy to activate the demon core inside him. He had to use the demonic transformation skill to change his body at this moment.

"Look, he's changing! That's his original form!" shouted someone in fear. The crowd gave out panicked shrieks.

Darren paid no attention to the frightened faces and screams of the people, as he was determined to kill Lenny at this moment. He would just explain it to them as soon as Lenny was dead and the truth was brought into daylight.

Darren launched a mighty attack at the people in front of him, making the ground rumble.

Although Darren's demonic internal force had also been suppressed, it could still generate a powerful force with the help of his sword and blade skills. It was even more powerful than when he used the three elements simultaneously in ordinary days.

Taking advantage of the strength of his demonic body after his transformation, Darren wildly rammed his body against the crowd like a desperate raging bull, successfully shouldering his way through the fighting warriors. He finally reached his target.

"Go to hell!" he roared furiously. Hundreds of sword shadows immediately came into being.

Lenny let out a scream in the face of such an unexpected change. He desperately swung his weapons to ward off the attacking forces from Darren's sword and blade. But alas, the power of Darren's demonic internal force was so strong. It was already beyond his ability to defend himself from the attack. He breathed out his last breath before he let out another scream.

Darren landed on the ground from the sky like an agile bird. All the talents immediately backed off.

Darren waited in silence for the evil cultivator to manifest from inside Lenny's body. But to his dismay, nothing happened.

After a while, there still wasn't any sign of the evil cultivator from Lenny's corpse. It just lay on the ground, motionless.

Darren suddenly felt anxious and apprehensive.

Noises filled his ears like water rushing into the ocean.

"What's the matter? Wasn't Lenny the evil cultivator? How could it be possible?" The unacceptable truth almost drove Darren crazy.

"What lies will you fabricate to defend yourself?" A voice suddenly sounded. Robb stepped out from the crowd, eyes gleaming with fierce hatred. He had been observing the fight with as much impartiality as possible.

Darren stood alone in face of all the other people, looking awfully brutal in his black scales. He had killed Lenny, who he had accused of being controlled by the evil cultivator. And there he was, proven wrong. What he had done was inexcusable. The superior talents were growing too hostile to be properly reasoned with.

"You killed Darren, right? I can't believe that Darren is dead!" said Tom through clenched teeth, looking at Darren's demon-like figure with such loathing. He was now among the warriors who were opposed to Darren. He had every reason to believe that the Darren he knew had been killed by the evil cultivator.

"I'll kill you to avenge Darren!" Tom shouted, eyes bloodshot with fury. He swung his weapons and dashed towards Darren.

Darren felt extremely weak not being able to explain himself. His heart ached as if it had been repeatedly stabbed by a knife.

"Kill him! Let's join forces to kill the demon!" Robb led all the warriors towards Darren, surrounding him.

Frightening noises of the fighting continuously sounded.

The warriors were comprised of eleven superior talents and even though their energies were suppressed, they were able to amplify their power through various other powerful means. Darren was in the disadvantage.

Darren had successfully killed some flying birds previously, not because of his great power, but because of his fast movement. However, fighting with all the other warriors now, Darren felt that his fast movement was being subdued.

"You damned evil cultivator! It's lucky that I have obtained this fancy weapon from Mr. Chad Lou. It's useful against those who are moving fast. I thought there would never be a chance for me to use it. I never expected that it would soon come in handy!" a young man said aloud to draw Darren's attention. He was holding a golden pot covered with magical runes in his arms. The suppressing force was coming from his pot.

Darren felt a surging sense of bitterness and frustration at the whole misunderstanding. He wanted to explain, but for some reason, he was unable to.

"Damn this! I know it's impossible for me to explain this, but I'll prove that I'm not the evil cultivator. Someday in the future, I swear I will!" Darren said, activating the Wind Rule to flee from his losing battle.

Darren could have easily killed at least a couple of warriors before he escaped if he had really tried to. But he was unwilling to do that. He tried to consider the situation from the point of view of the warriors and put himself in their shoes. Had all of this happened to another guy, he would also spare no time on killing that person who, in his eyes, appeared to be the evil cultivator.

Darren rounded up all his remaining energy to get rid of the suppressing force of the golden pot and escaped towards the distance like a launched arrow. His figure disappeared from the warriors' sights in the blink of an eye.

"Thank God we were able to drive him away without any casualties. We should leave as soon as possible lest that demon comes back." Robb commanded the warriors to move on ahead, staying until all the other people had left. Before leaving, he turned to cast a look at the direction that Darren had escaped. A glint of cunning triumph flashed in his eyes as a cold sly smile emerged on his lips.
