Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1280

The surface of the statue withered and aged fast as Darren assimilated the Evolution Force within it.

He then moved on and continued walking forward.

"Who are you?" questioned a weak voice.

"Here, have a taste of my spear," the voice then said. It seemed old as well.

Swish!

A spear flew out at Darren, the power behind it much weaker than he had previously encountered.

Darren flung his fist in response, striking the spear as it came.

It went flying backwards with a metallic clang, piercing through the man's chest and turning him to ashes.

"Now it's your turn."

Darren then stood beside another statue and punched at it, shattering its surface to pieces.

Suddenly, a blade lunged at him.

Darren frowned, the attack catching him by surprise. This one was much more powerful than the last. It was so strong that he could not defend against it and was forced to retreat.

Later, he assimilated the statue's Evolution Force as he had done before.

His physical strength seemed to have grown to quite a high level, and it was difficult to increase any further, as it had not improved much when he had assimilated the Evolution Force of the second statue.

After the statue was broken, a door on the stone wall behind it opened.

He began making his way over to walk through it, when a shadow materialized on the chair.

"I did not expect you to come," the shadow said in a low voice, remaining dead still as it spoke.

Darren was stunned by this sudden appearance until he realized what might be going on. He cupped his hands and asked, "Sir, may I know your name? Do you know who I am?"

On second thought, however, he thought that would be impossible. He had not been in the Primitive Wilderness for all that long. He had not met many people here either. How could this figure know who he was?

"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else," the shadow shook his head and replied.

"What's your name, boy?" he continued.

"My name is Darren Chu," Darren answered cautiously.

"Your family name is Chu," murmured the shadow, his face twitching.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's a long story," Darren answered before patiently explaining everything to the shadow.

"Ah I see. I had not expected those two drops of blood essence I left behind to have become such trouble," the shadow sighed after hearing Darren's story.

'Does he mean that he is the one who left the blood essence?' Darren's heart skipped a beat.

"Supreme God Sheffield! Greetings, it is a pleasure to be in your presence!" Darren bowed respectfully. He was ecstatic to have actually gotten the chance to meet the legendary Supreme God Sheffield.

"Ha-ha," the shadow chuckled and smiled. "You do not have to be so polite. I can do nothing for you, offer you nothing of value."

"Please, sir, don't misunderstand. I do not want anything from you, I simply just admire and respect you from the bottom of my heart," Darren said, his words quick and filled with respect.

Sheffield's shadow nodded in understanding.

"Young man, you have quite an impressive cultivation. And an extraordinary God Character. Eh? There appears to be a new Original Law in your body too, a pretty rare one in fact. You are truly a rare talent."

"I'm flattered, sir, but they were obtained by simple good fortune," Darren responded modestly.

"You're a good guy," Sheffield's shadow said, satisfied with the specimen before him. He then went on to say, "If you're meeting me, that must mean you have defeated both my disciples. Seems they have failed to live up to my expectations. Continue on forward, once you arrive at the central hall, you will obtain a supreme martial formula."

"What?" Darren blurted out, taken aback. "Sir, I just want to get out of here. I never came for anything to benefit myself."

"Perhaps, but you deserve it." With that, a ray of light shot into Darren's eyes. He felt nothing out of the ordinary from it when he took it in.

"I've cast a spell on your eyes. You are now the only one who can see the supreme martial formula in the hall. Remember, the formula is for you alone, do not spread it. If you do, great trouble will befall you."

The shadow then faded into nothing after he finished speaking.

Darren stood stunned for a long while, not quite sure of what had just happened.

Did he really just get a supreme martial formula so easily? What an incredibly sudden and joyous accident!

Darren woke up with a start and quickly backed up.

"You don't have any supreme martial formula. You just used me to break free from the chains!" he yelled out, this realization suddenly dawning on him.

"You were not supposed to wake up," the bloody body said bowing his head. His voice was harsh and rumbled with evil on every word.

"Who are you! You created the shadow as well, didn't you?" Darren screamed, demanding answers.

"Ha-ha! Who am I?" The bloody figure raised his head slowly and revealed, "I am Sheffield!"

"No! It can't be! That's impossible!" Darren roared in disbelief.

Boom!

The entire hall began trembling after a deafening bang rung out from afar.

At the same time, a massive cloud of dust began swirling over ten thousand feet high in the hall. Darren released his god's sense and felt two figures advancing within it.

"My real body, I had not expected to find you here,"

said a cold and familiar voice, pleasantly surprising Darren.

"My avatar?" Darren said perplexed.

Two figures soon revealed themselves from the cover of the dust. One of them moved gracefully in white, and the other was as beautiful as a fairy.

It was the Rule Soul Avatar and Jenifer.

"Oh, who... who is he?" Jenifer asked, surprised and confused when she laid eyes on Darren. How did he look exactly the same as the "Darren" beside her?

Darren immediately flew towards them and landed beside the Rule Soul Avatar.

"Ha-ha, fancy meeting you here! Who is this lady?" Darren asked looking Jenifer over.

"This is my friend, Jenifer," the Rule Soul Avatar said indifferently.

Darren could not believe that he had a friend, and a beautiful girl at that. He was even more amazed when he noticed her holding the avatar's arm and leaning against him so affectionately.

"You look really good," Darren said taking all of it in. He was relieved. It was not hard for him to imagine that the Rule Soul Avatar had evolved and now possessed some human emotions. It seemed to make perfect sense actually.
