God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Less than 30 minutes later, they both arrived before their home. It was a large igloo made of rocks instead of snow.

This was what Nolan finally accepted as the place they should live.

Immediately after arriving, Nolan carried the dead croc-tiger to the harmonious aqua and quickly skinned it properly before making his way back to the house.

Less than an hour later, a nice smell permeated the entire area, causing a figure to exit the cave, coming to sit before the tiger meat that was placed on the stake.

Immediately, her hands morphed into claws, and she quickly made lines on the beast.

One of the tiger's legs was yanked off by her hands, and then she used her claws to divide the ripped leg into two before passing half to Nolan, who had a wry smile on his face.

Then she carried the entire tiger meat and opened her mouth wide before forcing the meat down.

It was an absolute shock to Nolan, who witnessed her stuffing down an entire tiger, more than thrice bigger than himself, with a single gulp.

Her throat bulged up, and Nolan watched the meat travel down and enter her stomach.

But once it entered, it was as if the meat suddenly disappeared, as the bulge vanished.

GUUUUUUUUUUUUUULP

A loud gulp rang through the entire area, and she collapsed onto the ground beside him, rubbing her stomach with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Just how deep of a well is that small tummy of yours?" Nolan couldn't help but ask as he gently placed his own share of the meat onto a plate.

Then, like a master chef, he carefully began dissecting, studding small bits into his mouth and making sure to feel and appreciate the taste.

Now was the time for the girl to stare dumbly at Nolan, watching as he took bite-sized pieces of everything while making strange humming sounds.

After 30 minutes, Nolan finished up, and only then did he collapse on his back, his stomach bulging.

"Now that's how you feast, like a regular human being. Not like an animal..." he said to her, who scoffed at him, turning her face to the other side.

Nolan chuckled.

The breeze around the area seemed to turn even cooler, blowing the hair of both of them around their heads.

He simply stared at the blue sky, watching the clouds sway, and then he turned his head to the side, only to find her eyes looking into the sky, seemingly in deep thought.

She was looking up just like him, but her gaze appeared lost as if in deep thought.

Nolan's eyebrows furrowed at that.

It wasn't the first time she had been lost in thought like this.

Dhe had been doing the same for the past two weeks now, just standing or lying with her gaze being lost, as if thinking of something.

He had tried to find out what she was thinking by asking, but he never did get any reply, and he doubted now would bring a different answer.

Eventually, he could only probe.

"Are you still thinking about that dragon of yours?" he asked as she regained focus, staring back at him before turning back to look at the sky.

She gave no reply, as usual.

But suddenly, Nolan noticed something strange: a faint ripple I'm the air and in the next instant—

CLAAAAANG!

BAAAAANG!

The sound of two metallic substances crashing into each other rang out as a claw phased out of thin air and slammed powerfully toward the girl's pretty face.

Her eyes widened in shock, but at the last second, a dagger appeared in the path of the claw, blocking the blow in the nick of time amidst a powerful gale blowing in the area.

The tug of strength endured for 10 seconds, long enough for her to quickly disappear from where she was lying.

Nolan's dagger was forcefully nailed to the ground, showing his loss in the exchange of power.

But he reacted quickly as he suddenly tightened his hold on the dagger, pushing himself up into the air, and slammed his leg down behind the claw.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Another fiery explosion resounded, as the crater on the ground mysteriously gave way, as if something was pushed nto it.

Nolan instantly kicked forth with his right leg into the air, feeling another connection.

The snow at the base of where he kicked separated and drifted back, and Nolan dragged out his dagger, rolling twice in mid-air before his eyes narrowed into the distance.

"An invisible opponent?" he asked in surprise.

Right now before him, Nolan could only see a singular claw floating in the air and swaying around, but he could swear that when he kicked at the air, he felt he connected with a body, forming the conclusion that he was fighting with an invisible opponent.

"But there's no doubt about it, the figure possesses a body, or I wouldn't have been able to kick at it..."

VROOOOOOOOOOM

The sound of the air parting once more resounded as Nolan's expression instantly changed.

He quickly turned behind him, slashing out with his dagger.

BOOOOOOOOM

Another fiery explosion resounded as another claw suddenly appeared behind Nolan, its target aiming for his chest but getting blocked by his dagger at the last second.

But still, the momentum of the attack was enough for him to be sent flying back uncontrollably, and once more he felt the air behind him exploding outwards as another claw blasted toward him from behind.

It was from the one he had previously exchanged moves with, but it never reached him as a claw coated in green scales appeared in the path of the claw, colliding with it heavily and sending the claw flying backward.

Nolan stopped himself at the last second, before rising to his feet, standing behind him was none other than the girl who had her green claws out and scales all over her face.

Around them stood a total of four claws in the air, all circling them tightly, and Nolan's eyes narrowed.

"Not only are they invisible, but even their cultivation is at the Sacred Vessel Stage."

The system notification blinked before Nolan, whose eyebrows furrowed, and in the next instant, he decided.

"There's no need to hold back your power. They want us dead..." He said aloud for the girl behind him to hear, and in the next moment—

CLAAAAAANG!

The sound of chains falling to the ground resonated through the area as Nolan summoned his fairy chains, rolling them in his left arm while holding the dagger in his right hand.

A few seconds of silence passed, as the breeze gently rustled, yet the pressure in the air only further thickened, and in the next instant—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

All hell broke loose as Nolan faded away from where he stood, appearing right in the middle of the air, and in the next moment—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An abyssal tear appeared in the ground, tearing through for a couple of miles as Nolan's chain firmly struck the earth.

Spinning his dagger in his hands, he slashed to the side, a claw blasting and slamming toward him, the power shaking him away, and quickly another claw slashed out from the side toward Nolan's head.

But it met with nothing but shadows as Nolan ducked, barely dodging the claws, which also grazed a strand of his hair.

Quickly reacting, he spun, his leg sweeping across.

BAAANG!

The sound of the floor giving out resounded, a minute crack spreading into the ground, and in the next instant, a dagger flashed by with speed, followed by green blood spraying into the air.

ROOOOOOOAR!

A distressed roar rang out as a claw instantly appeared before Nolan, who jumped backward, dodging the slash to his chest, and he skidded to a stop.

His dagger ready in his hands, his eyes narrowed at the figure before him.

He could feel that he had been able to slash open one of the opponents, and he quickly listened as the invisible enemy slowly became visible.

His heart shook from the sight of them. Enjoy new chapters from empire

The figure before him was a full 2-meter-tall being, completely covered in dark scales.

Its skin was hard and rough, like that of crocodiles, but its belly was white and seemingly made of flesh.

The foe before him currently had a dagger line running through its stomach, the place where Nolan had slashed.

Sighting the figure, a single word came to Nolan's mind:

A standing crocodile? That was the perfect description for the figure before him.

A standing humanoid crocodile.

And truly that was what it was.

"Our target is not you, it is the girl. So stand aside and we might consider letting you leave here alive."

The crocodile beast man spoke out to Nolan who scoffed.
