Nobilis of War
Chapter 1395 The Beasts Guarding The Hall

Darren was speechless and kind of confused. Everyone in the hall knew that the place was indeed special and mysterious, so he couldn't get the point of what the golden dragon was saying. "Just get to the point." Even the dragon ancestor had somehow become impatient.

"Fine." The golden dragon felt embarrassed and began to speak straightforwardly. "This hall is condensed by the Archean laws. It might sound odd, but it seems to have a consciousness of its own!" "Even if you say that, I don't think it will help us..." Darren sounded disappointed and asked, "Sir, just think about this. Is there any place in this hall where we may replace the inheritance?" Darren began looking around. However, there was nothing to see inside the hall except for the locked golden dragon and the murals. Nothing caught their eye that seemed to be where the inheritance was hidden.

"I don't know how to help you because I don't even know what the inheritance is. What I just know is that there are other rooms in this hall," the golden dragon answered honestly. "Other rooms? But I don't see any doors." Darren was quite confused by the golden dragon's statement.

"Of course you won't be able to see one just like that. But I'm telling the truth, there are other rooms. The Evil Deity entered one of those rooms and managed to control a part of the Original Sin Chain. That's what he used to lock me here," the golden dragon explained.

Hearing this, Darren couldn't help but frown.

It seemed that the Evil Deity had already arrived in this place before them and found the area where the inheritance was hidden. Fortunately, he still hadn't completely controlled the relic. "All right. Let's look around first and search for any hints," Darren said resolutely.

With that, Darren and the dragon ancestor began to investigate the hall and look for any clues that might lead them to the hidden rooms.

After looking around for a while, Darren had already examined every inch of the walls in the hall with his god's power, but he didn't replace any lead pointing to the doors of these hidden rooms.

"Darren, I think it's pointless to search them like this. Those rooms must be separated by the Spatial Law," the dragon ancestor speculated.

"You're right. That must be the reason why we can't replace them."

Darren also realized that since the hall was formed by the Archean laws, it wouldn't be like any other halls. There must be some tricks behind it.

"Have you noticed that the pictures on the wall seem to move in some complicated trajectory? This place must be the center of some kind of array," the dragon ancestor concluded after carefully observing for a while.

Indeed, the center of an array was the key to control the array that was formed by certain laws.

With this in mind, Darren stared intently at the paintings of the beasts on the wall. He unleashed his god's sense and traced his hand on the wall. When the lifelike beasts were touched by his god's sense, they seemed to become agitated and were ready to pounce on him.

"Darren, attack them immediately!"

The dragon ancestor seemed to have figured out something as he ordered Darren.

On the four sides of the walls, there were twelve Archean beasts.

"Got it!"

Without hesitation, Darren took action and attacked one of the beasts.

Whoosh!

A stream of god's power quickly hit a dark beast that looked like a wild cat.

"What? No reaction?"

Darren's god's power vibrated and just dissipated without causing any waves.

"No. Take a look at that. There is a very shallow palm print on the chest of the beast. Your attack must have caused it," the dragon ancestor pointed out.

"Oh, yeah. It's true!" Darren also noticed it upon closer inspection.

"Come out! I know you beasts are guarding the hall!" the dragon ancestor confidently roared while his hands were behind his back.

"Ha-ha! Good job, old man. I see that you have sharp eyes. I can't believe you spotted that easily."

Swoosh!

With swift movements, the black cat jumped down from the wall.

"Humph! What were you planning? A sneak attack on us?" the dragon ancestor snorted coldly.

"Ha! That's a ridiculous thing to say! If I were dealing with the golden dragon, then yeah, I might be a little cautious. But I don't need a sneak attack to deal with the two of you!" the black cat retorted in a disdainful tone.

Darren stared at the black cat with a serious expression and said, "Why are you looking down on us? You're not even that strong to begin with. Why are you acting so high and mighty?"

Darren perceived that the black cat was, at most, just as powerful as a cultivator at the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm.

There was no way that he and the dragon ancestor would go down in a fight against the cat.

After all, the battle beasts that Darren and his companions had controlled before should be several times stronger than the black cat.

However, the black cat just stared mockingly at Darren as if he had said something very stupid. "I don't have time for pointless conversations. Anyone who wants to enter the inheritance space should defeat me first. So, come and see for yourself if you can do something against me."

Darren immediately took a step forward. He felt that Sewell was even stronger than this black cat. Therefore, he wasn't that concerned at all.

Moreover, there was an age limit for those who wanted to acquire the inheritance. The dragon ancestor was certainly not qualified, so Darren had no other choice but to deal with the cat by himself. "Come on! Defeat me and you can freely go to the inheritance space. But I have to warn you, there's no way a lowly cultivator like you can bring me down."

Then, the black cat bent down, readying himself to attack.

"Go ahead, Darren. Distract him and I'll take the chance to launch a neak attack at him," the dragon ancestor told Darren through his spiritual sense. "What? Why do you need to do that?" Darren felt a little insulted because he knew that he could defeat the black cat without resorting to dirty tricks. "Just do it. This is just to make things go smoothly. Make your move and I will seize a chance to catch him off guard," the dragon ancestor said firmly.

Swoosh!

Then, Darren moved and closed in. With the divine sword in his hand, he unleashed his strongest sword intent.

"Take this!"

His attack was slashed towards the black cat's throat.

Clang!

However, the black cat just lifted his claws and effortlessly resisted Darren's attack.

As the enormous sword intent fell on the black cat, it didn't even damage his fur.

"What?"

Darren immediately retreated and realized that although the black cat's fighting power was nothing to be feared of, he had a remarkably strong defensive power.

It was this Archean creature's unique advantage. With the creature's seemingly indestructible defenses, Darren would really have a hard time dealing with him.

However, Darren's first attack was only to gauge the strength of his opponent. He hadn't activated his penetrating divine pattern or black god's power yet. Thus, his real attacking prowess was yet to be unleashed.

"Ha! Is that it? I wonder how you managed to survive until this point. You're just plain stupid and useless!" the black cat hurled some insults with a smirk on his face.

Darren just sneered and retorted, "You, bastard. Just wait. I'll shut that filthy mouth of yours!"

"Ha-ha! Die, you piece of trash!" The black cat got pissed off at Darren's arrogance and took the initiative to launch his own attack.

Then, a gust of wind blew over, making Darren feel a chill on his back.

It was actually the black cat. His speed had become astonishingly fast. Darren was taken aback. This was beyond his expectations. "Hey, watch out!" the dragon ancestor warned him.

He was keeping an eye while they were fighting all this time. Thus, when he found that Darren was in danger, he immediately took action. Then, a powerful dragon blood aura suddenly rushed behind Darren.

Boom!

The dragon blood aura exploded and a black shadow suddenly appeared. "How dare you get in the way?"

The black cat wasn't actually angry. Instead, he had a huge grin on his face.

"It is said that dragons originated from the Chaotic Age. Moreover, their meat is extremely delicious. I'm rather glad that I'll have the chance to taste it today," the black cat said as he licked his claws. Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the black cat disappeared again.

Swish! Splat!

All of a sudden, five horrifying claw marks appeared on the chest of the dragon ancestor, where blood gushed out. If he had been a little slower in his retreat, his heart might have been lacerated too. Seeing this, both the dragon ancestor and Darren were surprised. They wondered how the black cat suddenly became this powerful.

Then, the black cat lightly landed on the ground, raised his claws, and licked the trickling dragon blood on them.

"I've told you earlier. Compared to the golden dragon, you're just like pitiful insects in front of me."

It turned out that the strength of the black cat that Darren perceived earlier wasn't at his fullest. His real strength was at least at the same level as the golden dragon.

They were in a dangerous situation right now since the five-clawed golden dragon was much stronger than the dragon ancestor, who had only resurrected just recently.

Darren also started to panic. It was clear now that the beasts guarding the hall were indeed powerful. How could he enter the inheritance space then?

There were still eleven beasts on the walls. Furthermore, they had no idea if these beasts were even stronger than the black cat.

There was no way for Darren to beat all those beasts at his current level.

'Wait. The colorful flag!'

Darren suddenly remembered the magical colorful flag. He knew that it was able to suppress all the creatures in the relic. If it also worked with the beasts in the hall, he might still have a chance to turn this predicament around.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
