Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 486

As he was preparing himself to face Carey again, Darren transformed back into Kaleb's appearance. Together with Horace, he walked towards the secret chamber with swift and steady steps, determined not to make an early announcement of his arrival to Carey. On their way, they came across some Restriction Arrays, but Horace dealt with them smoothly and efficiently.

Soon enough, they were on Carey's secret chamber, after one of a hidden rule-powered door opened. Darren walked in first.

Adjusting his sight, he glanced around the room. As his visions get accustomed to the place, his gaze fell on Carey, who was on the far corner of the chamber.

In his hands, he was holding two keys. The young master was silently thinking about how to get the other key in the box with a deep frown on his face. All of a sudden, he felt an odd presence as if someone was coming towards him. As the presence drew near, he immediately turned his head to see who the intruder was.

"Huh? How did you come in here?" a hoarse and raspy voice came out of his mouth as Carey asked. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Kaleb, and it was as if a ghost was standing in front of him. Seeing the man that he presumed to be dead, the young master couldn't help but have a horrible feeling.

"I'm here to help you get the key, young master," offering to lend a helping hand, Darren answered calmly. A faint yet mocking smile was portrayed on his face.

"How dare you! I am commanding you, get out of here. Leave right now!" with his trembling hand pointing at the door, Carey shouted at Darren. Secretly he was wondering what might happen and why Elder Hugh hadn't killed Kaleb. Why didn't he do it? Did something happen, and Kaleb killed Elder Hugh instead?

A ton of questions were on his mind. Yet, in the meantime, he was secretly sending a message and summoning Elder Hugh to make sure everything was alright.

But much to his disappointment, Elder Hugh didn't heed to his call. Worst was, there was no trace of his existence, and it made Carey feel anxious and worried. He was starting to panic right now. Caught at such an awkward situation, Carey soon realized that it was not the right time to get crossed with Darren.

"Well, Kaleb, pardon me. I was just too anxious just now. I'm only worried about the keys. I didn't mean to shout at you. Haha, come here, Kaleb. Help me with this, will you?" While he was motioning Darren to come closer, Carey immediately put on a fake smile. He was pretending to be friendly with Darren. But secretly, he was cursing Darren for ruining his plan.

"All right. Hand me the keys, young master," acting to offer a helping hand, Darren demanded as he stretched out his hand for the keys.

"Okay. Take a look at these keys and tell me what you find." Carey nodded his head, pretending as if he agreed to Darren. Unknown to Darren, he was getting his rule power ready, waiting for the right timing to assault Darren. The moment Darren grabbed hold of the keys, Carey launched the attack.

Rumble!

To his dismay, however, before Carey could pull his strength to attack, Darren used his sword to attack him first. Powerful ice sword intent brutally pierced at Carey.

All this time, Carey didn't expect that Kaleb would dare to attack him, his young master. It seemed that things had gone wrong without him noticing. 'Since when did Kaleb know how to use a sword?' Carey asked himself in confusion. Something was definitely wrong.

"Die!" But Carey would not let himself be defeated that easily. He immediately put up a sturdy defensive wall to resist Darren's attack. After resisting Darren's sword intent, Carey launched a green dragon made of runes at Darren in a counter-attack.

"Master, let me kill him for you." Horace, who was still hiding in the dark, sent a secret message to Darren, his master.
