Nobilis of War

Chapter 1375 A Capable Assistant

The young man's body was full of injuries, and his face was covered with blood. Darren couldn't

recognize him.

The second he saw someone approach, the young man knelt on the ground and cried for help.

Darren landed in front of him.

"I really can't stand it anymore. He's so terrible..." the young man lowered his head and sobbed.

"Don't worry. I will take care of this."

Darren turned and saw a straw man standing in front of him. He held a blade made of withered straw in

his hand, stained with blood.

"No!" Just as Darren was about to kill the straw man, he discovered something unusual.

The straw man that had followed him would mimic his actions. However, the straw man in front of him

didn't kneel when the young man fell to the ground.

This meant that this straw man was not imitating any action.

As soon as Darren figured this out, the straw man disappeared.

He frowned. A split second later, he broke into a cold sweat as he sensed an aura of danger coming

from behind him.

This straw man was too fast.

Without any hesitation, Darren chose to dodge sideways. The straw man's figure jumped out from

behind Darren, a dull and wry smile on his face.

Darren remained expressionless as he released his blade and sword intent and the black god's power

to attack the straw man.

Whoosh!

The speed of the straw man was so incredible that he dodged Darren's attack.

"No. If I fight him head-on, I will be the one to die,"

Darren surmised. The young man he was trying to save was at the low-level of the Celestial God

Realm. As such, his fighting power was not inferior to Darren's. But the straw man had beaten him to

the verge of death. So how could Darren defeat the straw man?

In an earlier instance, Darren had tested and discovered that this kind of straw man had a very strong

defensive power.

He would be injured if the straw man cut him with a strike of his blade. However, if Darren's blow

landed on the straw man, he might not break through the straw man's defense. The enemy seemed

invincible!

How could the result be changed?

Before Darren could think more, the straw man's attacks increased in frequency.

At first, he was able to handle the blows without feeling challenged. But gradually, he was at a

disadvantage.

That was when Darren noticed that the straw man following him was repeating his action even though

he was dozens of feet away.

"Ha-ha, I have an idea!"

Darren was overjoyed. Since he couldn't use his flesh-and-blood body to defeat this straw man, he

could manipulate the straw man following him to deal crippling attacks.

As long as Darren controlled the distance and adjusted the position, he could use the straw man that

had been following him to defeat the other straw man.

After some calculations, Darren flew toward the straw man that had been following him. A smile tugged

at the corner of his lips when he noticed that the straw man he had been battling trailed not far behind.

When they were close enough, Darren took a few steps back, and the straw man mimicked his actions.

Perfect! Now he was positioned precisely where Darren wanted it.

Now he could focus on the straw man that was chasing him. Assuming that he would attack from

behind again, Darren moved forward quickly. He could release attacks during the process, an action

that the straw man following him would mirror.

This process was complicated, but it was not difficult for Darren to become proficient.

Swoosh!

The straw man appeared on his left and slashed at him. Darren quickly changed direction so that the

straw man that had been following him now stood in front of him.

Without delay, he swung his sword and blade in unison, continually bombarding his opponent.

The straw man that had been following him launched the same attacks.

Clang!

The two straw men met.

The attacking straw man was blocked. He wanted to bypass the obstacle and chase Darren but didn't

get the chance as Darren moved quickly and obstructed the straw man's path. During this process, he

continued to attack.

The battle went on like this for a while, and Darren became more skilled in controlling the direction of

movement. An hour later, his control was almost perfect. No matter how hard the other straw man tried,

he couldn't get close to Darren.

"Go to hell!"

Darren used a fatal move, and the god's power in his body surged out. At the same time, the straw

man that had been following him launched the same attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The god's power exploded, and the earth shook violently.

They had been in this stalemate for four hours. The two straw men suffered many injuries during this

time.

'If things go on like this, they will both perish.'

At this time, Darren didn't want the straw man that had been following him to be destroyed, as he was

now a capable assistant.

Therefore, Darren began to approach the scope of the battle between the two straw men.

'He has a wound on his head!'

After observing for a while, Darren spotted several deep cuts on the other straw man's head. He

intended to seize this opportunity.

Whoosh!

Two Spiritual Flying Swords shot out from his soul.

The sword intent attached to the small swords was violent and powerful. Once it merged with the black

god's power, the two small swords gained strong penetrating ability.

At the same time, Darren let the straw man following him continue the attack so that the other straw

man couldn't dodge the small swords.

Swoosh!

The two swords suddenly plunged deep into the other straw man's head.

The first sword stopped halfway when its power dissipated. But then, the second sword collided with

the first, and the transfer of power pushed the small sword through the straw man's head.

It was the end.

The other straw man suddenly curdled. Then he turned into withered straws and scattered with the

wind.

It was over. Darren won!

The young man who had watched the battle in amazement finally came to his senses.

'Darren. This man is Darren!'

"Thank you, Darren," the young man sobbed. He was not afraid of death, but the sense of helplessness

he felt had forced him to break down.

"Are you okay?"

The young man nodded blankly. He was unable to stand because of his severe injuries.

Darren immediately released a streak of his god's power to heal the young man.

Since the straw man following Darren mirrored all his actions, he should have imitated him when

Darren treated the young man.

However, the straw man didn't move. Motionless, he resembled a straw man with broken limbs that had

been abandoned for a long time, standing alone in a vast green field.

Darren ignored him and continued to treat the young man's wounds.

Two weeks later, the young man had healed enough to travel. And so, the two set out to look for others. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Along the way, they didn't meet anyone else.

"Darren, who did you study under to become such a master? I didn't expect you to be so powerful,"

the young man asked when they stopped to rest.

"I don't have a powerful master in the Primitive Wilderness."

Darren considered the cultivator, who taught him half a scroll of the supreme sword skill, as his master,

but the latter was not at a high realm.

"You have no master? Aren't Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword your masters?" The young man was

astonished.

After all, Lord Feng and Lord Starry Sword had previously defended Darren against other great

masters.

"No, they are acquaintances," Darren clarified calmly.

The young man nodded. While his expression remained indifferent, excitement surged within him.

'Darren is still young. How did he become friends with big shots such as Lord Starry Sword?'

The young man was awed by Darren. Although Darren was only at the upper-level of the Star God

Realm, his strength was almost on par with his.

This proved that he had the tenacity to overcome barriers and fight against those at the Celestial God

Realm.

The young man had never heard of such a genius. No wonder the two big shots valued him.

"I envy your potential, Darren."

"Ha-ha. You have already stepped into the Celestial God Realm, haven't you? Your achievement

reflects highly on your potential, as well." Darren smiled.

"Well, my successes are nothing in comparison to yours.

By the way, Darren. What's wrong with that straw man? Why is he still following us?" the young man

asked as he glanced back.

"I don't know, but with him, we are safer, aren't we?" This straw man could now be considered as

Darren's life-saving divine weapon!

He had thought that the straw man would not follow him as he had stopped mimicking his actions after

the battle. But, it turned out that he was healing his wounds at that time. After he recovered, he

continued to follow Darren.
