Chapter 258 Finley

The scene was almost like an arid desert. After the tremendous power completely destroyed the entire ground, everything slowly disappeared in silence.

In the domain, Darren's blade and sword intents emitted a dark golden glow, which fiercely collided with the domain of the grand warrior. It was getting tense and nobody could predict what was coming next.

Boom!

A deafening sound shattered the silence. It sounded almost like an explosion of some kind. Under Darren's furious attack, Denise's domain could hardly sustain itself anymore and broke apart into pieces. The fragments were all over the domain, as Denise turned her head and prepared for battle.

Endless blade and sword intents settled all over Denise's snowy figure. As she struggled to bear it with all her might, an internal force which emitted dark golden light penetrated her chest. In a twinkle of an eye, she turned into a handful of sand and disappeared into the howling wind.

Staring at the broken ground, Darren suddenly felt cold and empty. He was lost in confused thoughts, with mixed feelings in his heart.

When Darren faced the master who was considerably superior to him, he felt consumed by desperation.

Then after he succeeded in merging the blade and sword intents together, he felt a glow of pride when he saw how powerful the dark gold internal force was.

But sorrowfully, when he saw Denise vanish without a trace, he was bitterly disappointed.

'Hum? What was I thinking about?' Darren thought to himself with a distant gaze in his eyes. 'That blabbering Denise will regain her life soon.' Darren was certain of it. With a faint smile on his face, Darren effortlessly landed on the broken ground.

However, after quite some time, Denise still hadn't shown up.

Suddenly, it occurred to Darren that Denise was different from the other defenders. Although she was a spiritual intent, deep down underneath, she had a fear of loneliness. This revealed that she was full of emotion in her heart. 'Will she ever show up again? Has she disappeared forever?' Darren thought to himself.

Although she was merely a wisp of spiritual intent and didn't really exist in this world, when Darren felt her loneliness, his own heart ached a lot. He wanted to help the poor girl by getting her out of here.

In those quiet days, Darren felt quite annoyed at this girl who could never stop blabbering about trifles. But when nothing disturbed the silence of the night, the memories came flooding back as he thought about the girl. She reminded him of the lonely days in the past ten years, as she kept on murmuring to herself, whether he was listening or not. When she giggled with laughter or when her eyes were full of tears, it all made Darren feel as if she was the most fragile thing in the entire world.

Meanwhile, in the eleventh round, the black and cold desolate world became empty. Denise left a vivid emptiness in his heart when she left.

Darren laughed bitterly, holding back unexpected tears.

ng smell pervading the air.

Darren, slightly surprised, but with time to kill, sat down on the stone chair.

"What should we talk about?" Darren asked, since Finley had suggested it.

"I saw the defender in the eleventh space cry so deeply for you. Are you two in a relationship right now?" Suddenly, the young man wore a weird smile on his face. His vulgar and tactless behavior left Darren speechless.

"No." Looking at the obscene expression on his face, Darren almost spat out a mouthful of tea.

"You can stop playing your little trick. Before you two got into a fight, I couldn't know your whereabouts for a long time. I guess…" His voice trailed off mischievously. "Ha-ha. You know." His gauche remarks dumbfounded Darren.

"Crap. What are you talking about? Why are you saying things like that?" Darren couldn't help but let out a little laugh.

"So you didn't?" he asked.

"No. She is just a wisp of spiritual intent. Nothing will happen between us," Darren replied.

"Ugh, she isn't just a wisp of spiritual intent. She has a powerful background in the martial art world. It is said that she has an undead soul, so that's why she has emotions."

"Oh, I see." Darren nodded in comprehension. "Never mind. I don't want to talk about it anymore. When will we start our next fight?"

"Take it easy, young man," Finley said, trying to restrain Darren. "I remember that you had used one skill. You know, that skill," he goaded Darren. He raised his hands up and waved them in the air, trying to explain the skill to Darren. After a long while, he gave up, and asked, "You know what I'm talking about, right?"

His remarks left Darren speechless. He had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. So Darren guessed, "Are you talking about the last skill which I used to kill Denise?"

"Oh, that's it. That's what I'm talking about," Finley finally said. He nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong with that skill?" Exasperated, Darren couldn't help but roll his eyes.
