Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 505

While the three elders isolated themselves to focus on preparing the Sky Piercing Array, Darren, on the same instant, settled in a relatively quiet place and opened the Ancient Void Battlefield.

Ever since Belle was brought into the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren had been checking on her with his spiritual sense every day. Days and weeks had passed, and Darren was saddened to see that her condition had not progressed at all. She had been unconscious the whole time.

As she had sustained heavy and constant bleedings after being hit by some spells, Belle couldn't wake up any time soon. Darren understood that her body needed some time to recover.

Today, as Darren had enough time while waiting for the elders to be done with refining the Sky Piercing Array, he thought a visit into the Ancient Void Battlefield would be a good idea. After all, seeing his sister physically before facing the border mutants would add up to his courage and motivation to win the dreaded battle. A few moments later, Darren appeared in a quiet valley where a thatched cottage stood humbly by its nether side surrounded by luscious vegetation and a gently running stream.

As quiet as he could, Darren opened the door to the cottage where Belle was staying. Belle, his sister, was lying on the bed, face still pale and motionless. The only sign that she was still alive was her chest that moved up and down as she breathed.

"You suffered a lot, my little sister. I hope you survive this one and get well soon,"

the hopeful brother mumbled in a gentle voice. While he was stroking his sister's face, Darren's heart couldn't be spared from hurting, seeing his little sister so weak and helpless.

Ever since they were kids, Darren and his little sister had been bullied. Though he was too innocent to understand why they were always browbeaten, Darren made a vow that it would never again happen to his sister. He had thought that he could protect his little sister when he gained the experience of his adventure. But he was wrong all this time, he failed and was not able to fulfill his vow. He still couldn't protect her well enough and allowed her to suffer again and again.

Thinking back of the days when they were both kids and comparing them to their present situation, Darren's eyes reddened. Looking down at his sister's situation right now, he felt so useless and powerless. Nothing had changed for his little sister. He couldn't protect her when she was little, and now that they had grown up, he still couldn't do.

'Diana must be worried about Belle too. Should I tell her that Belle is already back?' Darren thought as he tried very hard to conceal the feelings of disappointment that he had inside.

As his thoughts deviated towards Diana, he had come to think about how Holy Lord Diana had always been helpful towards Belle. She treated her as if Belle was her daughter. Thus, Darren was sure that she must be worried about Belle too. That was the reason why he was considering telling her the news.

'I should just wait till Belle gets better.' After considering for a while, Darren thought that he'd better tell Diana the news when Belle was better. In that way, Diana wouldn't be bothered too much.

Spending almost an hour checking on Belle, Darren made sure that everything was okay with her. After this, he directly got out of the Ancient Void Battlefield unseen and unannounced, just like his arrival.

The moment he was back at the Violet Phoenix Sect, he cultivated and tried to improve his base. In a short while, Horace and the two other elders, as well as Jacob, were out and back on the hall.

Though it was Darren and Hailey who did much of the rescuing and leading them to safety, the grandmasters still thanked them all. They remembered well how Abelard and Timothy were also there to help them out.

"With the help of my senior fellow apprentices, the rule power crystal core that I refined is even more powerful. Its strength is equal to the strength of a four-star grand warrior," the older red-robed man, Nick, interrupted at this time, taking out a crystal core shining with runes. Only with this potent crystal core could they maintain the Sky Piercing Array.

The grand warriors all heard what he said and turned to look his way and towards the crystal. But their gazes fell on to Horace and Rocky, whom they hadn't met before.

"May I ask who the two men are?" one of them asked politely.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce them to you. They are both powerful rule cultivators, and they are like Nick's brothers,"

with a gentle voice, Jacob said simply. His tone was casual, for he knew that many of the grand warriors were enemies with the Red Inferno Sect, and they hated the members of this sect. Jacob also made the right decision in not telling the grand warriors Horace and Rocky's real identities.

"Oh, I see. I bet with the help of you two, we are more confident that we will succeed in killing those mutant bastards this time, haha!" Judging from the way Master Jacob introduced them as Nick's brothers, the grand warriors didn't overthink about the identities of the two new men. They continued laughing and chatting as if nothing was unusual.
