Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1303

"What's the matter with you? Why didn't you send them away?"

the general asked as soon as he arrived.

'Ha! He's at the top level of the Celestial God Realm!' Darren exclaimed in his head. He was surprised to discover that the general's aura was stronger than that of the two killers from the Blood Abyss Sect.

"Please let me explain first, general." The man glanced briefly at Darren before whispering something into the general's ears.

"I see. So that's why they're here." As comprehension dawned on the general, he said to Darren, "Listen, you can't proceed. Even if you claim to know my master, it's still too dangerous. You better go back and wait."

"General, we came all the way here to see the Archean Beast. Please do us a favor and let us in," Darren asked politely.

"Please don't put me in the spot like this." The general shook his head and continued, "All of you would be crushed to pieces with just a single roar from the Archean Beast, apart from this cultivator at the Celestial God Realm. All you're asking for is death!"

"Please, general, we aren't scared of what's in store for us. As long as you're around, we'll be fine. Your cultivation can protect us. So, please let us have a look," Lindsay pleaded as she came over.

The general seemed stunned. He hadn't noticed Lindsay a while ago since she was standing behind Darren and the others. But now that he laid his eyes on her, he could feel immediate attraction towards her unparalleled beauty. He found himself unable to avert his gaze from her.

"That... I'm sorry, but I can't," he managed to say.

"Please! Take us with you, general. We want to broaden our horizon." Lindsay's voice was sweet as she said this.

The general could feel his heart tremble at that. He didn't even realize that he was already nodding his head.

"Great! Thank you so much, general. You're so nice!"

Suddenly, Finley cleared his throat. He shot a glare at Lindsay.

She, on other hand, just rolled her eyes at him.

"Very well then. Just follow behind us, and retreat as soon as you hear any sound, understand?" With that, the general began leading the way.

"Understood. Thank you." Darren nodded his head.

The general then flew into the dense forest. The others followed closely behind him.

Upon landing in a clearing, he released his god's sense and began his search.

"What? This is strange. I can't sense anything," he mumbled.

He tried again, but all he got was silence.

"General, the creature has a special ability that we can only sense it if it's within fifty kilometers," one of the law enforcers explained.

"Were you able to see it clearly?" the general asked.

"I didn't. When we got the news, the cultivator at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm was already dying. And when we found him, he was already dead," the law enforcer reported.

"Where is his body?"

"Right there. We didn't want to move it."

"Take me there."

They walked through the forest until they came upon a dark, wet area.

There was a bloody corpse lying there. Its flesh was rotting.

"I'm sure that he was a cultivator at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm. He was not supposed to meet with such a tragic death even if he came across a top-level beast," the general surmised.

"Indeed, general. He sent out a message that said he had encountered an Archean Beast before he died. If it were a beast of this era, it couldn't have been able to kill the strong cultivator even if the beast was at the top level of the Celestial God Realm," the law enforced added.

"I see," the general muttered.

Darren and the others waited quietly behind them. However, their eyes wandered as they observed the situation.

"Darren, I found some things here," Lindsay said through her spiritual sense.

"What happened?" Darren asked.

"It's Jeremy. I think he sensed something strange," she informed him.

"Really? Ask him what he has seen!" Darren urged.

"Wait. I think he passed out. He accidentally crashed into the mountain out of fright."

Darren was torn between laughing and being annoyed at this.
