Chapter 831 A Sneak Attack

"No, this is not Darren!” When the monkey had sensed the aura of the Darren lying on the ground,he realized that it was different.

Barnes the Holy was already suspicious of this Darren. Upon the monkey's words, he took a closerlook at the Darren before them and realized that the monkey was correct.

Boom!

The ground beneath them trembled once more. Clouds in the sky turned blood red in an instant.Those were definitely caused by Caroline and Darren.

"Oh, no. Darren and Caroline are going to kill the ancient senior holy warrior,” the monkeymurmured.

"They're planning to kill the ancient senior holy warrior? But Darren is no match for him!" After apause, Barnes the Holy continued, "Even at my prime, it would be difficult for me to kill that guy. IfDarren meets him, he would get himself killed.” The monkey became anxious at that.

"Barnes the Holy, please let me save him and Caroline.”

He couldn't possibly let Darren die like this. Over the years, their bond had become strong. Themutated monkey considered Darren now as his best friend after Darren showed him what friendshipwas.

On the other hand, the ancient senior holy warrior had eyes for Caroline's phoenix elixir. Eventhough she looked down on him, he still wanted to keep her safe.

This was how much her beauty had affected the monkey. It had seeped into his bones so deeply."If you were still as strong as when we fought in the past, you might have been able to save themBut now... To put it bluntly, you have grown weak. You won't be able to face the ancient holywarrior,” Barnes the Holy said.

When the mutated monkey was first infused with the Inner Fiend's soul, he grew a thousand timesstronger than he was now. This was the only reason Barnes the Holy lost to the Inner Fiend.

With his current state, the monkey knew that he wouldn't be able to help his friends. Thesethoughts made him feel depressed.

"Don’t worry. Let me save Darren, okay?" Barnes the Holy offered. His voice was so sincere that itgave the monkey some hope.

In the Shura Abyss

Darren's dragon body was worn out as evidence by the bloody holes in his body.

Caroline's bright feathers, on the other hand, had also been greatly damaged. There were someareas where they were crushed and crumpled.

Across them, the ancient senior holy warrior was also not in good shape. His flesh was torn inseveral places, revealing patches of his white skeleton underneath.

"I have to admit, your combined powers have exceeded my expectations,” he said.

His voice was dry and hoarse. It sounded uncomfortable like it was being scratched with sand.Darren was now teetering at the edge. Even if he used up all his powers now, he knew he stillwouldn't be able to kill his opponent.

Of course he couldn't. This was a senior holy warrior from the ancient times, much more strongerthan the top senior holy warriors of this age. He and Caroline were lucky that the senior holy warriorhadn't regained his full strength yet, or else they would have died at that very moment.

But he still couldn't stop himself from taunting the holy warrior. "You are a senior holy warrior, butyour Shura Force is so weak. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"Brat, even if you have pure Shura Force, I wouldn't care. You'll only end up dead anyway,” the mansnapped.

"Look at you! You are only a skeleton. How dare you talk big?" Despite of her injuries, Caroline stillheld herself in a tough manner. She braced herself as she felt her phoenix elixir on the verge ofbreaking.

"This injury is nothing to me. Let me show you my true strength!" As the ancient senior holy warriorspoke, he patted three iron chains binding his body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another. the runes on the iron chains exploded.

They pulsated until they gradually dimmed.

For some time, he had felt the power suppressing him growing weaker and weaker. He waited for somany years for the right time to free himself from his constraints. And now, the chains' power was atits lowest, he could finally regain his strength.

Having sixty percent combat power, killing Caroline and Darren would be easy.

Caroline and Darren immediately sprung back to action. “Stop him!"

With that, Darren swung his dragon tail with all his might and launched his attacks.

Bang!

The senior holy warrior raised his hand to fend off the dragon tail.

Darren felt a sharp pain ran from the point of collision. It threw him rolling on the ground.Meanwhile, Caroline forced her way forward, flapping her wings relentlessly.

But the warrior used his Shura Force to throw her off.

At that moment, another chain was broken. The holy warrior grinned more fiercely than before. Hisaggression increased.

Darren could only watch in horror. "Oh, no. It's too hard to stop him now."

But then a voice shouted, "Caroline, let me help you!"

Suddenly, the toad appeared.

He was quickly followed by the bull-like creature and the stone creature.

"A few more nobodies, ha-ha,” the man said in a dismissive tone. It effectively hid the twinge of fearhe felt in his heart. These additional men weren't weak at all. With his current injuries, theypresented a threat.

"No more nonsense. I will just kill you!" The bull-like creature rushed towards him and smashed hiscrescent-shaped weapon heavily on him.

Unable to stand idly by, the stone creature also moved forward. His attack was like a collapsingmountain over the holy warrior.

"Go to hell!" the stone creature shouted.

He landed several punches at his enemy before he retreated several feet away from the senior holywarrior. The man stumbled back as well. But the bull-like creature's crescent-shaped weapon gaveno respite as it landed on the senior holy warrior.

"Damn it!" the warrior swore.

Getting hit by both creatures at the same time pissed him off greatly.

Both the stone creature and the bull-like creature were as strong as the monkey and Caroline. Asthey fought together against the warrior, their strength should not be underestimated.

"Don't just stand there. Let's go kill him!"

The toad turned to look at Darren.

"Toad, don't mess up this time," Caroline roared coldly.

"Why do you hate me so much, Caroline? Do you honestly think that I'll be reckless at a crucialmoment like this? I care for you and I am willing to die for you," the toad confessed, solemnly."Then stop talking nonsense. Let's fight together!" With a loud cry, Darren dove into the foray in hisdragon form. Caroline trailed behind him, her eyes ablaze with her strong fighting spirit in the formof the phoenix.

The toad flew by Darren unhurriedly.

With a thousand sweeps from his tail, he breathed out his dragon blood aura at the same time asthe phoenix also let out her flame, combining their powers together.

The four of them delivered relentless blows at the senior holy warrior until their opponent could nolonger withstand them. The warrior had no time and energy to break another two chains.

"Here's my chance.” The toad was smiling hideously.

He had finally seen an opening. "Go to hell!"

While Darren was too preoccupied launching his attacks at the senior holy warrior, the toad sneakedbehind him and attacked. He attempted to stab through Darren's heart.

Darren was too focused on the senior holy warrior that he didn't see the toad's attack coming. Hewas completely vulnerable.

Bang!

A sharp pain bloomed beneath his chest. As he looked down, he saw a huge gaping hole where hisheart was supposed to be.

He turned around to face the toad.

While Darren tried to recover from his shock, the senior holy warrior seized the opportunity toattack him as well. Pushing back his other three opponents, he focused on Darren.

A blood red spear pierced through the air and aimed at Darren's heart.

After successfully landing his first surprise attack, the toad decided to stab at Darren's heart again.Two powerful attacks were targeted at Darren's heart at the same time. Darren had no way toescape.

Sensing that something went wrong, Caroline watched in horror as Darren was pierced through theheart. "Toad! What are you doing? You despicable bastard!"

Her fury burned brightly, but there was nothing else she could do. The stone creature and the bull-like creature seemed unsurprised by the turn of events.

They were aware of the toad's plan for a long time now. All they could do was sigh. "Go to hell!"The toad held his front paw up and touched Darren's bleeding heart. With just one blow, he couldblast it to pieces.
