Nobilis of War

Chapter 1459 Drawing Away

"These stinky bats dare challenge me? I'll rip you to tiny shreds!"

The two Bloodsucker Princes launched continuous desperate attacks on the gray figure, who was now

getting a bit anxious upon discovering that he could not get rid of them as fast as he would have liked.

They were getting in the way of his plans. If Darren managed to escape, chasing him down later would

not be easy.

"Elgin, why don't we invite the ancestor?" suggested Joris.

He sensed the gap between their strength and that of the gray figure, and found that it was certainly not

small. He thought it was perhaps time for their last resort.

Every Bloodsucker Prince had the ability to call on the Bloodsucker Ancestor for help one time. When

they had fought Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng, one of the Bloodsucker Princes had invited the

Bloodsucker Ancestor's avatar to the battlefield.

There were, however, restrictions to it. A Bloodsucker Prince could only do so when he was faced with

a powerful creature. If he was confronted with other sorts of attacks, such as a rule array or a sword

array, he was forbidden from asking for the Bloodsucker Ancestor's help.

"Joris, perhaps you have forgotten that we are now Darren's believers. We have already betrayed our

Bloodsucker Ancestor," reminded Elgin.

They had been subdued by Darren, the Defiant Master. The Bloodsucker Ancestor would definitely

figure that out once his avatar arrived. If that happened, he wouldn't help them kill the powerful man.

On the contrary, he would waste no time in killing Joris and Elgin instead.

Betrayal of their own race was the most intolerable thing in existence to a bloodsucker.

Joris then came to the realization that asking for help from the Bloodsucker Ancestor was no longer an

option.

"Then let's fight to our end and buy time for our master."

Joris and Elgin unfolded their bloody wings and charged at the gray figure.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Explosions boomed throughout and shook the First Dangerous Area to the point it felt that it was about

to collapse.

Elsewhere, Darren fled madly, under the protection of three powerful warriors at the top level of the

Superior God Realm.

"Roland, how far to the Second Dangerous Area?" asked Darren.

"At least twenty hours to the entrance. But entering the Second Dangerous Area will not be easy; it's

guarded by metal creatures," Roland answered.

As a member of the second generation of the Chu Clan, he had been to the Five Dangerous Areas

before. Back then, the Five Dangerous Areas were under the complete control of the Chu Clan. Every

member of the young generation had been trained and assessed there for their own development.

It was too far. They did not have that much time to get to the Second Dangerous Area. Darren knew

that Elgin and Joris would not be able to hold off the gray figure for too much longer. Even if they flew

straight for the Second Dangerous Area without any stops or obstacles, they would still likely be caught

up to by the gray figure.

"We have to change our course," Darren said, gesturing his three companions to halt a moment.

"What do you mean, Darren?" Jamison inquired, not understanding.

"Let's head back and hide near the battlefield," Darren suggested to the others.

"Well... I'm afraid I don't think that would be too smart," replied Stewart. He didn't think it would be a

good idea, seeing as the enemy was so powerful and also possessed a strong god's sense. If he

searched carefully and long enough, he would no doubt find them.

"It's risky, that's for sure," Jamison chimed in.

"I will follow any order you give, Patriarch Darren. If we continue fleeing like this, it is more likely that

we will be caught up to!" Roland responded, seeming unfazed by any danger the plan might pose.

"Stewart, Jamison, our agreement was that if something was beyond your abilities, you could run and

save your own lives. I advise you to run now. Roland and I will go back and hide," Darren said

definitively.

"Darren, we do not mean to abandon you when you may need us."

"I do not blame you for fleeing in this situation. I am the one he wants. It is not necessary for you to put

yourselves at risk with me," Darren said back. He had not meant to accuse them of anything, or doubt

their commitment.

"Alright. It would be unwise to sacrifice more lives unnecessarily. Darren, be careful." Stewart was not

an indecisive man. He simply cupped his hands to Darren without hesitation, ready to leave as soon as

possible.

"Goodbye." Darren nodded to them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Stewart and Jamison took off while Darren and Roland did the same in the opposite direction.

The battle still raged on. Elgin and Joris were already badly injured, on the verge of collapse, but still

pressing on.

Darren and Roland landed more than a dozen kilometers from the battlefield. They went deep

underground in an attempt to mask their auras, and observed the battle using their god's sense.

"My real body," said a familiar voice.

The Rule Soul Avatar suddenly appeared by Darren's side.

"Where have you been?" Darren asked. He had not seen the Rule Soul Avatar for quite a while and

wondered what was on his mind.

"I've been here the whole time, preparing to launch the final defense."

This had been his plan all along. He had been waiting for the opportune moment to jump in and help

the two Bloodsucker Princes and keep this powerful man at bay a while longer.

Darren nodded, a little moved that the Rule Soul Avatar planned to sacrifice himself.

"Do you think I was right to come back?" asked Darren, trusting his opinion.

The Rule Soul Avatar fell silent for a moment. Instead of answering his question, he responded, "I will

do my best to hide your aura."

On the battlefield, the gray figure had knocked Joris to the ground heavily. Elgin still fought hard but all

the bloody wings on his back had been broken. It seemed he would not be able to hold on much longer

either.

The Rule Soul Avatar had picked his moment and suddenly disappeared.

He secretly released a Healing Law to alleviate Joris' injuries and hinted at him to continue his assault.

When he had recovered only just a little, Joris rushed right back into battle once more, full of courage

and gusto.

Meanwhile, the Rule Soul Avatar added a lot of Resurrection Force to his own body. He then did

something that Darren did not have any understanding of.

He tore himself in half, just as Elgin had done earlier. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Rule Soul Avatar, what are you doing?" Darren asked in surprise, but the Rule Soul Avatar said

nothing back.

The powerful Resurrection Force did not stop working on his body. In an instant, his two halves had

been healed, and two identical young men now stood in their place.

The two bodies did have some differences. One was dressed in white and the other in purple. They

had different expressions as well. While one was cold and ruthless, the other looked wise and worldly.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The shadows of a blade and a sword surrounded one of them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two figures immediately rushed out into the battlefield with a single-minded focus.

"Go to hell!"

the Rule Soul Avatar in a purple robe roared, rushing over with the sword and the blade.

Darren was now even more stunned. The purple robed half had the same aura and voice as he did.

Boom!

The other half in white launched an attack with a riot of laws. Countless Attack Laws, Trap Laws and

Order Laws were released at the same time. Even more impressively, the Rule Soul Avatar used three

kinds of Time Law skills all at once, something he had never done before.

"How dare you return? You must be incredibly stupid!"

The gray figure had his angst eased, feeling a sudden relief when he saw the young man in a purple

robe charging over with a sword and a blade. He thought Darren had come back to the battlefield.

He despised him as well, thinking to himself, 'He is quite the fool. How could he think he'd be able to

take a master at my level by surprise? He must be missing a brain.'

The gray figure moved as fast as a teleportation skill, at the same time repelling the two Bloodsucker

Princes and giving off god's power to attack "Darren."

As for the Rule Soul Avatar's attacks, they were not enough to cause any harm. The gray figure could

take the hits head-on, like it were nothing to him. He could even break free from the Time Law just by

force.

The Rule Soul Avatar was only capable of competing with a warrior at the middle-level of the Superior

God Realm, at most. There was a huge, clear gap, between him and the gray figure.

Bang!

The purple-robed Rule Soul Avatar was struck and blew up in a terrible explosion. The white-robed half

immediately released the Resurrection Force to repair him back to his former self.

"Run, my real body. The sneak attack plan is not possible!" the white-robed Rule Soul Avatar yelled out

in desperate warning to the purple-robed half.
