Nobilis of War

Looking into the distance, Darren transformed into a fiend. Then, moments later, he flew to the place where the fiends took up residence.

It didn't take him long to locate some fiends. They had surrounded a scarlet bull and were trying to bring it down; however, the bull was too strong for them and two fiends were lying on the ground, dead.

Darren perched himself in the high branches of a nearby tree and observed them in silence. He saw that these fiends were very thin and bony. Their strength was at most equivalent to that of the warriors at the top level of the Super Emperor Realm in the Lothlann Continent.

Whoosh!

Once he was certain that there were no strong cultivators in the surrounding area, he leapt from the tree and flew towards them.

"Ah!"

the inferior fiends gasped when they saw Darren's figure land in front of them. Immediately, they dropped to the ground and trembled in fear, ignoring the enraged bull.

"Get up," Darren ordered in a low voice. Several fiends scrambled to their feet.

"Sir, the day for worshiping hasn't come yet. You..." a fiend began before trailing off. His eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

"I'm not here for that. My slaves and I will live in your village for a while."

"What?" The fiends all looked at each other with worry and confusion.

"Is there a problem?" Darren asked while he released a gush of fiend power behind him.

"No, sir. We would be honored to have you as a guest."

Darren nodded indifferently, then he summoned Carlisle and the others. They all appeared behind him and several fiends dropped to the ground once more.

"Human! Human!" Seeing Carlisle and the others, the inferior fiends trembled even more. It appeared that they were more afraid of humans than Darren who was in the form of a powerful fiend.

"What? These are only my slaves. There is no reason to be afraid."

"Yes, sir. This way, please."

Darren and the others began following several of the fiends as they hurriedly led the way into a dark brown fog in the distance.

"When we get to their village, I can kill them all by myself, master," Carlisle said through spiritual sense.

"Don't worry about that yet. Let's get there and see what we're up against."
