Nobilis of War novel Chapter 140

Under any other conditions, meeting a level one demonic monster would have not concerned the outer disciples of the Holy Land this much. But they were in the marsh right now. It was the home of mud crocodiles. Here, it was multiple times more powerful than when it was outside the marsh. And that was why they were so afraid. It would be a long fight for them.

An atrocious aura washed over Darren. With all might, he gathered all of his strength and prepared to attack. He took a deep breath as he stared at the king. He stood above the mud crocodile and brandished his sword. Then, his powerful sword intent went after the mud crocodile.

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, the king of mud crocodiles felt the frightening sword intent coming from Darren. It immediately turned around and dived into the marsh, hiding in fear. Darren could only blink his eyes in confusion as he didn't expect that the mud crocodile would curl its tail and back-out.

"Huh? What happened? I can't feel its aura. Its aura completely disappeared? That fast?"

Darren felt that the mud crocodile had completely disappeared in just a poof, leaving without a trace.

"Fantastic! How powerful his sword intent is! The king of the mud crocodiles is gone!" The outer disciples, who had been standing beside and saw Darren drive the king of mud crocodiles away with his sword, all gasped in an admiring tone. Before, they were shaking in fear of the king of mud crocodiles, but now, they were relieved as they could not feel its aura at all.

However, the game was still not over yet. Darren felt strange all of a sudden. Right after all of them let their guard down after the mud crocodile disappeared, it rushed out of the marsh in a very quick speed, charging towards the outer disciples of the Holy Land. It was a surprise attack!

"Oh damn it! It's cleverer than I thought. It chose to avoid me and attack them instead! This is not good." The look on Darren's face immediately changed. Wasting no time, he charged towards it in a flash.

"Roar!"

The king of mud crocodiles was so fast that the outer disciples couldn't even feel and dodge its attack. They froze in place and watched the big monster charge towards them with frightened eyes. But suddenly, a person came towards them flying. He was faster than the mud crocodile, not fearing anything at this moment. What Darren could only worry was to protect the outer disciples.

"Fuck off! You deceitful creature!"

Darren then charged towards the mud crocodile, straight running to its huge mouth without hesitance.

Crack!

The mud crocodile bit Darren in the arm and dragged him into the marsh with it in the blink of an eye. The outer disciples gasped in fear. What would happen to Darren? It seemed that the king was not something that could be underestimated.

Their hearts all dropped when they saw what happened. Some could not bear to see it and closed their eyes firmly.

"Darren!" some shouted.

"Shit! What should we do? Darren got dragged into the marsh in order to save us!"

Their faces were all pale, especially Sven's. He knew what the king of mud crocodiles could do under the marsh. It would be even more powerful there. He had a feeling that Darren was bound to die this time. This thought made him feel goose bumps.

They must not sit still and watch him sacrificed. However, they knew that their power was not enough to beat the king. Worst, they might interrupt Darren if they dived into the fight recklessly.

Under the marsh, Darren couldn't see anything. The only thing he could do was to use his spiritual sense to see if he could find out what was happening around him. With cautiousness, his eyebrows twitched to focus more.

With his spiritual sense, he found that there were more than one hundred mud crocodiles around him, and among them, the king of mud crocodiles was looking at him in a dangerous way. Instead of getting shaken, feeling the other mud crocodiles made him agitated more. Finally, he could face all of them at once.

"This is your end. You are all going to die!"

Darren used the blade intent and the sword intent at the same time, killing the mud crocodiles around him without mercy! He strode to them as fast as he could.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blood filled into the marsh, painting it red where Darren went. Under his attack, the diabolic beasts that were around him were almost all dead. Darren was too merciless to slow down a little.

Darren was not in a hurry at all. He assimilated the talent of the dead diabolic beasts first. Though assimilating a diabolic beast was not that helpful for him right now, he still wasn't willing to let the talent go wasted. Besides, there were more than one hundred dead diabolic beasts here. He could have a feast. After assimilating the talent, his own talent upgraded too. He was almost at the level three of the Earth Degree right now.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The king of mud crocodiles kept roaring in anger and fear, after seeing its fellow mud crocodiles being killed by Darren in the blink of an eye. Its cleverness earlier was nothing to Darren's attack now. It felt outraged as it saw his true strength. Though it was smart, it was still a monster. It couldn't fight its lust for blood and kill. So it still charged towards Darren in a ferocious way. It was too angry to think about anything else.

"You are not as weak as your fellow mud crocodiles that I have already killed."

Darren's eyes squinted carefully. He could feel that the aura of the king of mud crocodiles got stronger. However, Darren would not let this mere creature overpower him.

'It's not the best time to idle and waste time on it. I have to finish it and get out of here. It will be worse if we draw the attention of more powerful demonic monsters. Besides, I only have six hours left for the hunt!'

Thinking of this, Darren used the demon core and immediately, the demonic internal force filled his meridians. He was like a demonic god right now! He was way stronger than he was earlier.

"You have to die now!"

Using his demonic internal force, Darren charged and curled his fist hard. Then he punched the king of mud crocodile dreadfully.

But much to his surprise, the king of mud crocodiles didn't even dodge. It was confident that its teeth were the strongest weapon in the world, and nothing could break them. To the king of mud crocodiles, a mere punch could never surpass its hardness.

Unluckily for it, it realized that it was wrong the next second.

Crack!

Its strong teeth all broke into splinters because Darren's powerful punch smashed its head into pieces. Where were those invincible teeth it was boasting earlier?

The monster core of the king of mud crocodiles also flew into the sky by the power of his punch. It was not a mere punch at all.
