Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1238

When King Winfred proposed that Darren and Caleb duel, Murphy objected, for he knew that Darren would be killed.

However, when King Winfred told him that he had a unique divine weapon called the "Realm-equalizing Arena," Murphy's concerns subsided.

"Darren, what do you think?" asked Murphy.

"What is the Realm-equalizing Arena?" Darren's curiosity had been piqued, and he wanted to know more about this weapon before deciding.

"It's simple. As its name implies, once two opponents step in the arena, their realms will become the same," Murphy explained as he knew something about this divine weapon.

"Yes, you are right. A big force specially used this weapon to solve conflicts a long time ago," King Winfred added.

"If that's the case, then let's fight to the death." Darren shot a cold gaze at Caleb. He wasn't afraid of anyone.

"Don't play these tricks. Just come with me obediently." To everyone's surprise, Caleb wasn't interested.

"Ha-ha!" Murphy laughed contemptuously. "Old bastard, are you afraid?"

"Who do you think you are, Murphy? I'm a dignified person. Wouldn't I be degrading myself by fighting this guy? Humph!" Caleb's face darkened.

"Old bastard, if that is what you think, how about I duel you? Will you still take advantage of your seniority and back off?"

Murphy was the leader of a branch of the Starry Sword Sect. He was not inferior to Caleb in terms of status. After all, the force behind Caleb was just a clan.

"Murphy, if you continue to mess around, I will kill Darren right here. Do you think you can stop me?" Caleb's face darkened even more as he threatened Murphy.

"You can try,"

Murphy replied with a condescending smirk and was about to make a move.

At this time, Darren raised a hand to stop the exchange between the two seniors. He glared at Caleb and said, "You've been a martial arts practitioner for so many years, and the people you've battled must have been a lot stronger than me. So, why is it that you don't dare to duel with me? You are such a coward. If the younger members of your clan learn about this, they will laugh at you. Aren't you worried about being mocked?"

"Bullshit!" Caleb became furious. "If I want to kill you, it'll be as easy as squashing a dog. Why should I give you a chance?"

"Oh? Still objecting, aren't you? That proves that you're afraid. Let me tell you this. If your level were equal to mine, killing you would be easier than executing a dog!" Darren replied coldly.

Caleb's fury intensified to such an extent that he felt like magma was flowing through his veins. He took a deep breath to stop himself from losing his temper.

Darren smirked and continued to provoke him. "How about this? I will give you one chance. If you can defeat me when we are at the same realm, I will be your slave forever. However, if you choose not to fight me, I will never yield, not even to the chief gods."

Astonishment replaced the anger Caleb felt when he heard Darren's conditions.

Getting revenge for the children of his clan had not been his ultimate goal. He just wanted to obtain a Defiant Master as his slave.

But if he fought now, it would be impossible for him to capture Darren alive. Contrary to his plans, he would have to fight Darren and kill him. Moreover, the chances of him winning weren't very high. After all, his opponent had a swordsman at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm to protect him.

So, Caleb hesitated.

With his years of cultivation experience and powerful cultivation methods, it was easy for him to deal with such a young and inexperienced boy.

"Caleb, I believe the terms are fair enough for you to agree."

King Winfred had proposed this battle. Once Darren and Caleb agreed, none of the powerful figures supporting Darren or Caleb would see King Winfred as biased.

"This person is not simple. He is another one of the three kings. People call him the Gambling King because he is addicted to betting and often wagers his life. Although he looks a little scruffy, he's definitely the strongest among the three kings. He also has a powerful background," Murphy whispered to Darren.

With a nod of understanding, Darren continued, "By the way, Master Murphy, what's the use of the killing points? Why do they wager with them?"

"Killing points are crucial in the Tussle Region. As long as you have enough killing points, you can own anything. You can even exchange your killing points for an opportunity to leave the Tussle Region. But, that will be an astronomical figure that few people can get.

But then again, a person who has that many killing points would have the strength to enter and exit the region at will," explained Murphy.

"Killing points sound useful, indeed. Besides, I heard that they could be used to exchange items. Is that true?"

"Yes, they can be traded for anything, including the divine pattern fragments."

"I see. It seems that I have to collect more killing points in the future." Darren had heard about killing points when he first came to the Tussle Region, but he didn't pay much attention.

"Maxwell, you know that I never gamble. You'd better find someone else," King Winfred refused with a frown.

"Tsk, Tsk. You are so cowardly. Okay, I'd better find the other old guys. I'll make a fortune this time," the Gambling King appeared excited as he muttered.

"Please wait a moment, sir. About the bet that you mentioned, can you tell me how would you like to proceed?"

Darren asked. His sudden question made everyone, including Murphy, who was beside him, look at him strangely.

The Gambling King turned and looked at Darren with interest. He said with a faint smile, "Young man, do you enjoy gambling as well? Would you like to bet in this game? It's a pity that you are one of the battling opponents in the duel. I believe that means you cannot bet."

"Even though I can't join, that doesn't mean that Master Murphy can't bet. Can you tell us the rules, please?" Darren smiled.
