Nobilis of War
Chapter 1345 In The Prison

There were many cities all throughout the gloomy land.

The sky above the fiend race's land was infested with large, black-winged creatures.

Fiends roamed around the cities, and cries of despair could be heard all around.

In a city at the edge of the land, two ordinary fiends walked out of the transmission array.

One of the fiends roared. He was not used to the depressing atmosphere that surrounded him.

"Xavier, we shouldn't have come," Merle said, frowning.

"You will have more chances here," the Rule Soul Avatar said lightly.

The Rule Soul Avatar quietly released his Spirit Power. There were many powerful fiends in this city. Most of them had strength comparable to humans at the top level of the Celestial God Realm. Some even emitted the aura of warriors at the top level of the Superior God Realm.

Seeing the amount of powerful fiends in a city with his own eyes came as a shock to the Rule Soul Avatar, though he had learned about it before.

"Identity token."

As soon as the two of them got out of the transmission array, a fiend soldier came toward them and thrust out his hand.

"We don't have it,"

the Rule Soul Avatar said.

"Arrest them!"

Several fiend soldiers flew over and surrounded the two of them.

"Wait!"

Merle raised his hand. "I am Emperor Yushua. Why don't you know who I am?"

The fiend soldiers stopped in their tracks. "Which city do you come from?"

"The border of the northern land," Merle said. He tried to access the memories of the body he had merged with.

"You idiot. There are emperors everywhere in the low grade races living in the border areas. How dare you announce your name here!

Arrest these fools! Those who do not have the identity token are sentenced to toil away for a century."

In any of the cities of the eight empires, being a fiend emperor like Yushua was considered of lower stature than that of a household pet.

Merle released cold killing intent.

"Calm yourself,"

the Rule Soul Avatar said to him through spiritual sense. He placed his hand on Merle's shoulder.

"What do you mean? We will be arrested if we don't do anything."

"Trust me. Don't make any sudden movements. Do not do anything that will give them a reason to pin us down."

The Rule Soul Avatar used his spiritual sense to sweep through the surrounding area. He surveyed the strength of all of the soldiers around them. At least three of the soldiers had power comparable to those at the top level of the Celestial God Realm.

If Merle dared to attack, he would be killed instantly.

Merle also sensed this. He took a deep breath and suppressed his killing intent.

"Damn it!" Merle cursed in a low voice.

"Take them away!"

Several fiend soldiers took them away, and the two men did not resist.

They were taken into a dark water prison.

The place stank. The dark, murky water came up to their knees and smelled of death and decay. No one knew what lay beneath the surface of the water that made it so dirty and sticky. "Xavier, look at what you've done!"

Merle was upset.

The Rule Soul Avatar ignored him and released his Spirit Power to cover the whole prison. There were hundreds of fiends imprisoned there, some of whom were incredibly powerful. "This is your chance," the Rule Soul Avatar said.

Merle raised his eyebrows. He stopped complaining and used his fiendish sense to probe the area.

He suddenly felt better after probing. There were several fiends that were suitable for him to merge with.

"Go and kill one for me," Merle said.

"No need. They are coming to us."

They heard the sound of splashing water and soon, they were surrounded by hundreds of fiends.

"I just wanted to kill one of them! Why did they all come?" Merle didn't want to face hundreds of fiends at the same time. He and the Rule Soul Avatar might not come out of this victorious. There were two fiends whose strength was comparable to that of warriors at the upper-level of the Celestial God Realm.

"What brings you here?"

A cold and dry voice rang out through rle's head.

"It's none of your business." Although Merle was afraid, he did not want to show the fiends any sign of weakness. He stood tall and puffed out his chest.

"You brat. In this prison, Archie is the king! If you don't answer with respect, we will make your life a living hell!" a fiend roared.

"Oh, really?"

Merle released his fiendish aura, ready to fight.

"He's not afraid of death. Toy with him a while. Mess him up," a tall, one-eyed fiend said, pointing to a short fiend beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The short fiend had the same height as a normal human. His flesh was putrid and rotting away after having been partially submerged in the dirty water for many years.

Whoosh!

The short fiend moved at the speed of light and pushed Merle down into the water.

He roared and bit down on Merle's flesh. Merle growled as the water seeped through his clothes.

Crack! Crack!

One of Merle's arms was ripped off by the fiend, leaving a bloody, gaping hole in his body.

Bang!

Recovering from his shock, Merle mobilized the fiendish aura and hit the short fiend hard in the chest.

The punch sent the short fiend flying but it did not do much damage.

He flew back to Merle almost instantly and continued to ravage Merle's body. He ferociously bit off pieces of Merle's flesh, blood dripping down his chin.

"Howl!"

Suddenly, many parts of Merle's body were torn open. He was covered in his own blood, and the dirty water seeped into his wounds, making them rot.

"Kill!"

Merle was infuriated. He mobilized his fiendish aura in a mad frenzy and attacked the short fiend.

However, the short fiend had very strong defensive power. Merle could not harm him, much less kill him.

"Hiss!"

The short fiend licked his lips, looking hungry for more of Merle's blood.

"Boy, I will eat you up!"

"Xavier, help me kill him!" Merle called out to the Rule Soul Avatar for help.

His strength was the lowest in this prison.

The Rule Soul Avatar instantly rushed to Merle's aid.

"Don't worry. You'll get your turn. Get out of my way!" the short fiend shouted at the Rule Soul Avatar ferociously.

The Rule Soul Avatar waved his finger and a law force swept through the space like a sharp sword.

Whoosh!

A small, bloody hole appeared in the short fiend's chest. His eyes widened, and his aura of life quickly dissipated.

Merle wanted to fly over to merge with the dead fiend, but he held himself back. He couldn't use his merging ability repeatedly in a short period of time, so he needed to wait for a more powerful opponent. Merle's strength was now at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm, and he could merge with fiends who were two levels higher than he was at most. In other words, he could merge with fiends at the upper- level of the Celestial God Realm.

The Rule Soul Avatar killed the short fiend instantly. This attracted the attention of all the other fiends in the prison. They all turned their eyes toward the Rule Soul Avatar.

They were impressed by his skill and power.

"You are not bad. Stay and be my servant."

The one who spoke was Archie. He was the strongest fiend in the prison. Even the Rule Soul Avatar lacked the confidence to kill him.

However, the Rule Soul Avatar did not need to fear him because he had the five black pagodas. The pagodas could augment the damage dealt to fiends. He had also refined a trace of Order Law, increasing his power.

If the Rule Soul Avatar could further study the law he had comprehended and perfect it, his strength would reach an entirely new level.

With his cultivation base of the low-level of the Celestial God Realm, it was not impossible for him to kill a warrior at the top level of the Celestial God Realm in an instant!

"Behave yourself, or you will die."

How could the Rule Soul Avatar deign to be Archie's servant? It was preposterous. He released a cold killing intent.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
