Nobilis of War

Chapter 275 Give Your Loyalty Or Die (Part One)

Clang! Clang! Clang!

An ear-shattering sound reverberated as Finley's figure flickered in the sky. Disappearing on one side

and appearing on another end, Finley moved swiftly. No one could follow him with their eyes. As he

landed with a loud thud, he hit the Water Kylin with forceful thrusts of his palm continuously.

Caught unprepared by the attack, the Water Kylin was severely afflicted and whined painfully.

The enormous Water Kylin was famous in battles, known for his giant paws. In his previous

encounters, he was able to smash numerous towering mountains into pieces. Surprisingly, in this

situation, however, the Water Kylin could not even manage to touch Finley's body despite various

attempts.

"How can this guy be so strong?" Witnessing the fight, Darren was surprised at Finley's skills. Knowing

his strength, Darren had thought that Finley could slightly take the upper hand. The thought came into

his mind when he remembered the fight between him and Finley the last time. However, now that

Finley was facing the Water Kylin, Darren was shocked to see that the creature did not even stand a

single chance to fight back.

After a short moment, a great roar resounded, and soon the Water Kylin's body was bleeding heavily

on the ground. Both Darren and Finley waited for the creature to stand and fight back, but that was to

no avail. Finley had put an end to the fight.

"I did it!" Finley's figure beamed with a triumphant smile as he appeared in front of Darren.

"Nice! Very good. You seem to have improved a lot these past few days. You have defeated an ancient

legendary beast without even sweating." Darren lifted Finley's spirits by praising him for a well-fought

battle. The Water Kylin was known as a potent and almost invincible creature. It was nearly as powerful

as a two-star grand warrior, and Finley managed to defeat it in such a short time—a piece of cake for

him.

"Well, it was just like killing a mosquito, easy-peasy! I am about to advance into becoming a three-star

grand warrior. Defeating the Water Kylin would be way too easy for my current level. Oh, yes, before I

forgot, I must thank you for your magic herbs," still on cloud nine, Finley said with heightened

satisfaction.

"Magic herbs? What magic herbs do you mean?" Confused, Darren could not grab hold of what Finley

was referring to. No matter how hard he searched in the back of his mind, still he could not remember

giving some herbs to Finley. When the bell ringed on his mind, however, he dashed aside in a flash and

stepped into the second space. What he saw in there took Darren by surprise and made him furious.

In the second space, Darren was astounded to see that the whole place had transformed into

something totally different from the last time he visited it. The magic herbs that had been growing and

occupied most of the area were now gone. Barren and deserted, not a single plant was seen in the

land.

"Shit! You are such a bad guy, Finley! You have used all my magic herbs!" Infuriated with what he just

discovered, Darren stepped back to the first space and surprised Finley with a kick.

"Oh, mine! Darren, are you insane? I just took some of your magic herbs. Why are you so angry?"

Though he was complaining, not a tone of anger could be sensed in Finley's words. Flying away from

Darren, he intended to dodge away from his kicks. He was even confident to stand up and defended

himself with a wicked smile on his face.

"Did you take some of my magic herbs? Just some? You did not leave even a single leaf for me! You

wretched!" While cursing him, Darren flew closer to Finley and glared at him.

"Well, it's not a big deal! If I had not taken so many magic herbs, my strength would not improve that

much, don't you think so? If I were not that strong, we both would have probably been killed by that

Water Kylin by now. After all, it was you who let the legendary beast come in, remember? So, let us just

put it this way. Your magic herbs have helped me to save your life. It's worth it! I have rescued you in

the first place, and you want to punish me in return? You are really mean!" Shrugging his shoulders,

Finley sighed and pretended to be the victim.

"Stay away from me! You are the one who is mean!" Dealing with the silly Finley, Darren was really Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

speechless. He did not want to talk about the matter anymore as he could do nothing to change what

had happened.

Even when he was acting angry, Darren was actually not mad. He was glad knowing that at least Finley

was stronger now and could give him a hand in battles. Having such a super helper was not a bad

thing, and he did not lose much with the magic herbs.

"Go and check if the legendary beast is really dead. He might have survived and get back to you,"

Darren said to Finley with a blank face, not betraying what he felt inside.

"Yes, Mr. Darren Chu," Seeing that Darren did not blame him for the magic herbs, Finley stepped closer

to check on the Water Kylin, while humming a happy song in a low voice.

"Oh? This legendary beast is still alive!" Finley shouted in surprise. "Let me give you the last punch to

end your life completely. Ha-ha!" he continued and burst into a fit of laughter.

"No!" Hearing Finley's words, Darren stopped him.

"You want to kill the creature by yourself, Darren? Okay, you go then. But I have to remind you that the

skin of that Water Kylin is tough, and you'd better be careful."

What Darren was contemplating in his mind was whether he should kill the Water Kylin and assimilate

its power, or let the Water Kylin live to guard the Ancient Void Battlefield. He was caught between the

two alternatives.

After weighing things over for a short while, he intended to have the latter choice. Walking closer to the

creature, he invoked with a voice as loud as thunder, "Are you willing to give your loyalty to me?"
