Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1247

"But he isn't a master at the Superior God Realm, right? A level-six divine pattern should be enough for the task," said the Gambling King.

"Deal."

A level-six divine pattern for killing King Winfred was certainly a tempting offer, even for the people of the Blood Abyss Sect.

"I'm curious. You're already powerful enough to just kill him yourself, why go through the hassle of paying us a big sum to kill him for you? If you say it's because of what happened just now, I won't believe it," said the black figure.

"Isn't there a harsh rule in the Blood Abyss Sect that you shouldn't be asking your employers their reasons for the mission?" spat the Gambling King coldly.

"I'll be back in three days for the killing points and the divine pattern, so you'd better get everything ready before that." Without another word, the black figure put away the killing token, spun around and disappeared into thin air.

Meanwhile, in the branch of the Starry Sword Sect, there was cause for celebration.

"I can't believe it! We made a fortune. I must admit in the beginning I was sure you'd lose, but unexpectedly, you burst out such a powerful sword intent. You managed to turn an imminent defeat into a victory. That was just mind-blowing,"

Murphy said ecstatically as he landed beside Darren.

"It was a narrow victory. By the way, have you got the killing points we won?"

"Of course." Murphy nodded and handed over a blood red stone to Darren. "Here you are. Fifteen million killing points. Later, I'll ask someone to make some divine patterns. After they're finished, I will send you two of them."

The divine pattern fragments that Murphy obtained were enough to create four level-five divine patterns.

"Sounds good. Let's split up the killing points between the two of us. How will I be able to use the divine patterns after I get them, though?"

"It's actually quite simple. You just need to integrate them directly into your blood. By the way, which series of divine patterns would you like?" asked Murphy.

"Honestly, I don't know much about the divine patterns." Darren shook his head as he furrowed his brows.

"Here is a general introduction about the divine patterns. You can take this and have a look. When you find some that you'd like, make some haste and tell me. I need to send for a master to create the divine patterns as soon as possible." Murphy handed Darren a pamphlet.

"Okay." Darren took the pamphlet and began to scan through it.

The divine patterns were divided into twelve series, and each series contained a variety of divine patterns that could be further divided into twelve levels. This was somewhat familiar to Darren after all.

"Defensive divine patterns, accelerating divine patterns, strength divine patterns, blood divine patterns, attacking divine patterns, penetrating divine patterns, augmented divine patterns, life divine patterns, curing divine patterns, soul divine patterns, dark divine patterns, killing divine patterns," read Darren, out loud.

There were twelve series in total. Darren checked them one by one.

After examining them, Darren had attained a general understanding of the divine patterns.

"The accelerating series is pretty good. If I can have a 'fast stab' divine pattern, it can increase the speed of my sword and blade.

The attacking series is also not that bad. A level-five attacking divine pattern can improve my god's power by one thousandth."

Among the many options available, Darren began to consider what kind of divine pattern he should choose.

After careful consideration, Darren finally chose the penetrating divine patterns.

"Ha-ha, my black god's power and my sword intent have strong penetrating power. If coupled with the power of a penetrating divine pattern, my penetrating power would become even stronger!"

Only by combining the strong powers could he completely maximize his strength. This was the reason why Darren decided to choose the penetrating series.

"This 'bladeless' divine pattern under the penetrating series looks like a fine choice. A level-five divine pattern can increase my penetrating power by one thousandth. If I can collect a thousand of such divine patterns, the penetrating power of my black god's power and sword intent will double, and my actual combat power will increase by several times!"

Darren was getting pumped by the idea of all the possible upgrades he could make to his methods. However, he also knew that it would be very difficult to collect a thousand level-five divine patterns.

For now, two divine patterns would suffice.

"Are you sure of your decision, Darren?"

"You're quite a lucky lad. You can have two level-five divine patterns at such a young age," Master Adolf said, his calm smile still gracing his face.

"Alas! They are not quite so useful. I estimate that level-eight divine patterns will do me greater help. Master Adolf, could you make those for me?"

"Little guy, I definitely didn't expect you to be so greedy. Of course I can create them for you. You'd just need to give me the needed fragments."

"I don't have the fragments right now. If I obtain them in the future, I hope I can still ask you to make the level-eight divine patterns for me." Darren stuttered and blushed in embarrassment.

"Let that pipe dream go, kid. Even a cultivator at the Superior God Realm can't get the fragments of level-eight divine patterns. You'd better just give up instead of wasting your time.

But, tell you what, I do know a place where there are natural divine patterns. Level-seven or eight divine patterns can be found there," advised Master Adolf.

As Darren and Murphy heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time. "Master Adolf, is there really such a place?" they asked in unison.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. However, it's thousands of times more difficult to obtain level-eight divine patterns from that place than killing the Divine Pattern Beasts. Who would dare take that challenge on?"

"Master Adolf, could you tell us where this place you speak of is?" Murphy quickly asked before Darren could speak.

"Supreme God Sheffield's Tomb."

As soon as Murphy heard this, he immediately lost interest.

Darren was still thrilled. "A supreme god's tomb? Is that the place where a supreme god is buried?"

"It's an impossible feat. It is said that only a few drops of the blood essence of Supreme God Sheffield had fallen there, and that his descendants made sure to bury them where none could reach it. From then on, it became known as one of the most dangerous places in the land, and no one dared to enter it," warned Adolf.

"It's just a few drops of blood essence..." What was the big deal with just a few drops of blood essence? Why would the place become one of the most dangerous places? This information just left Darren spinning with more questions in his mind.

Seeing Darren get demotivated as he wracked his mind about the blood essence had Murphy and Adolf both shaking their heads as they let out a light chuckle. Darren's ignorance and naivety was certainly an entertaining sight for them.
