Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 823

"Think of it this way. Barnes the Holy had the chance to kill the Inner Fiend at that time. But because of my mutation, he failed. His hatred for me is even stronger than the Inner Fiend's. He absolutely wants to kill me," the monkey said. He smiled bitterly.

Darren pondered on this for a while before realizing that the monkey was correct.

Barnes the Holy had turned into a madman. With his fiendish nature unchecked, Barnes would not let the mutated monkey go.

"We'll figure it out after I get you out," Darren reassured.

The monkey closed his eyes and nodded in silence.

Darren then went to Augustine's place.

"Come here, Darren, let's have some drink together." Augustine had the alcohol prepared already as he waited for Darren.

Unable to resist the temptation of delicious alcohol, Darren drank several bowls in a row.

"Darren, I have to show you something funny after this," Augustine said mysteriously.

A graceful figure suddenly sprung out, grabbing Augustine's ear.

"Brother, you're going to that place again? If you dare go there, I will tell Aunt Caroline," Naomi said angrily.

"Ouch! Stop pinching my ear, my sister. I'll be with Darren, and he's strong. There's nothing to be afraid of." Augustine cried out in pain, struggling to slip out of his sister's grasp.

"No. Aunt Caroline has already warned us not to mess with anyone there. We don't want to get in trouble, so no one is allowed to go there," she insisted.

"All right, all right. I won't go." Augustine shrugged her off.

Naomi was seemingly appeased by this. "Good."

Darren shook his head and picked up another bowl of alcohol. "Come on, let's stop arguing and drink instead."

Feeling quite down, Augustine drank ten bowls in a row.

Naomi noticed this immediately. "Well, it seems that you are not convinced. I'll tell Aunt Caroline right away."

"Please don't, Naomi. You're totally right. I promise I won't go," Augustine pleaded.

"You better keep your promise then," Naomi replied.

Hot air suddenly came blowing inside the cottage. It brought with it a fiery red figure who turned out to be Caroline.

"What are you two arguing about? Naomi, stop bullying your brother," she said.

"It's not my fault, Aunt. I was just stopping him from going to the Shura Abyss," Naomi protested. Unknowingly, she had blurted out Augustine's previous plans.

Darren was silent all this time, but he couldn't help but perk up at the mention of "Shura Abyss." He was suddenly curious.

"You are not allowed to go there," Caroline reminded Augustine. She then turned to Darren. "But Darren, on the other hand, can."

"What? Why?"

Darren was surprised. He didn't expect her to ask him to go there.

"What? Why?" Even Naomi echoed back Darren's confusion.

"No reason," Caroline replied. Then, she turned serious. "Naomi and Augustine, please leave us for a moment. I have something private to discuss with Darren."

The two siblings left them alone.

"Aunt Caroline, what's Shura Abyss? Why should I go there?" Darren asked, baffled.

"Please do me a favor and accompany me to the Shura Abyss," Caroline replied.

"Just tell me what I can do to help. And I will try my best to not let you down," Darren said, sincerely.

"I need your cooperation in killing a senior holy warrior from the ancient times."

Crack.

Darren's head buzzed as if it was filled with thunder.

'Does she honestly think she and I can kill a senior holy warrior from the ancient times?' Darren thought to himself. He shuddered. The Fire Phoenix really scared him.

"Aunt Caroline... This is..." He didn't know what to say.

"Will you help me or not?" Caroline asked.

"I don't think I'm powerful enough to kill a senior holy warrior," Darren admitted honestly.

At this point, he couldn't even defeat an ordinary senior holy warrior. It would be a joke if anyone could even think he could defeat one from the ancient times. He absolutely believed he couldn't anyway.
