Chapter 1041 Beginning of the Attack
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Just as those people were about to start a friendly match inside that palace, a loud explosion noise reached that place as such a building shook significantly.
Sensing that there was something very wrong going on, each of the Spiritual Kings stood up from where they were, looking at the surroundings, already with their fighting spirits at maximum.
“What the fuck is that? Where did that noise come from?” One of the strongest in the area shouted this in a tone charged with doubt and shock.
That was the headquarters of the Scourges of the Devil, the organization that could be considered the strongest in the region!
But still, an explosion strong enough to make that whole mountain shake had surprisingly hit them. So, how could such a person not be shocked?
And thinking of the worst that could happen, the people in that place soon started running out of that small fighting arena, worried about a potential impending battle.
“I wonder who did that? Could it be one of those sects?” One of the Spiritual Emperors who was about to fight in that place asked this, trying to understand the problem.
“Impossible!”
“Those sects wouldn’t attack us just like that.”
“It has to be others.”
Unlike the regional powers, those in the Endless Snow Mountain Range knew about the presence of the Scourges of the Devil in that area. But since they were not enemies and those four sects were peaceful, they had never had any problems in the past hundreds of thousands of years.
Because of this, the second level 60 Spiritual Emperor refuted that idea of his companion.
“But if it wasn’t them… Who else could have our location and enough strength to attack us?” The other individual insisted, unable to think of any other potential enemy to justify that problem.
“I don’t know…”
“But I feel we’ll find that out in no time!”
…
While those individuals formerly in the fighting arena of that palace were running out of that mountain, the master of that organization was also already on the move.
This man, a level 61 Spiritual Emperor, was running down his palace corridors while cold sweat dripped down his back due to the ominous premonitions he was feeling.
His white hair waved in the air as he moved around that place, taking away the air of power he usually had, leaving him looking like a novice before a battle.
But this individual was not a novice. No, in his more than 2,000 years of age, he had almost every kind of combat experience, which made him quite relaxed about threats.
However, for most of this life, he had been the master of this organization, the leader of the Scourge of the Devil Legion, who had never faced such a great danger. And just thinking about the possibility behind the explosion of moments ago, he, Damian Burns, was apprehensive for the first time in centuries!
‘Those sects of cowards would never attack us, no matter what!’ He agitatedly thought as he dodged the fools in his path. ‘No, that has to be something to do with that annoying brat!’
‘Minos Stuart!’
Apart from the hidden sects in that area and some powers from outside the region, there was no one else with enough power to attack them.
But powers outside the region had no reason to attack them. After all, their relations had always been friendly, and even one of them had recently evolved into a partnership.
Thinking about it, he could only consider that the damned lunatic coming from the Black Plain could be behind the disaster approaching that place!
‘Damn it!’
‘I hope I’m wrong, or things will get difficult!’ He thought about it just before he appeared outside his palace, where hundreds of warriors were already gathering in wait for him.
“Master, our defensive barrier is under attack!” Someone who was near the entrance to that mountain said this in terror.
Another person watching the top of that mountain ran through that area until he finally reached the side of that Spiritual Emperor. “Master, a group of dozens of people is attacking us.”
“Dozens of people?” That leader’s eyes sharpened. “Just that?”
“Just, but…”
“But?” A shiver ran down Damian’s back.
“Minos Stuart is outside commanding the attack!”
After that was said, silence filled that area as each of the people there opened their eyes wide, feeling their hearts beginning to beat faster.
That was particularly true for those who had fought in the Black Plain’s War of Independence since they already knew about Minos’ pursuit to take revenge on the war criminals.
With this in mind, they soon understood that King Stuart was there searching for their heads!
Gulp!
‘Damn it!’
‘How did this demon get to this place?’
“Sigh!”
“I hope our defenses can hold…” Someone there ended the terrifying silence of moments ago, feeling a profound desolation in his soul.
…
Meanwhile, outside that mountain…
Minos’ group had arrived in that vicinity only a few minutes ago when this fellow had noticed that there was a high-level grade-2 defensive barrier in the vicinity.
But since his group had already expected to find powerful defenses in that place, they had brought weapons of the same rank, items capable of threatening that barrier.
With that, after only a few seconds of preparation on the outskirts of that area, they had started the previous bombardment, with 20 high-level grade-2 cannons firing at the barrier generated by that defensive array.
In this way, the group of more than 100 individuals alongside Minos were on the outskirts of that area, waiting for the moment to act.
Some were handling those weapons that were the size of small human houses, while others were enjoying the moments before the confrontation began.
But all of them were already in formation, separated into groups that would fight together against their opponents later.
Among them, Maxwell was standing next to Vivian and Grace, waiting anxiously for the battle to begin.
As for Minos and Abby, the two were standing in the closest position to the enemy area, waiting to find out what the power of this much-feared organization around the region was.
Abby, in particular, since she had grown up as a noblewoman who had learned to fear the assassins coming from this place.
On the other hand, Minos had a calm look on his face at this moment, feeling that he would soon finish bringing justice to his father.
‘I wonder what you have for me in this place?’ So, he wondered as he felt his beloved’s hands around his waist.
He then said to Abby, “If there are people above level 64 here, I will send you to the Spatial Kingdom.”
“But if the strongest one here is only at level 62, try to protect those three during the confrontation.”
“You don’t have to worry about me.”
She was fully capable of defending herself against level 60 and even level 61 people who used all their strength against her. So, if the strongest people in that place were at levels lower than 62, Minos knew that she would not be at risk, considering that he would deal with the Spiritual Emperors easily.
“Oh? Level 64? You think there’s someone like that here?” Abby asked in surprise since that seemed a bit of an exaggeration.
“I don’t think so, but better safe than sorry.”
“All right, then.” She said as she hugged him from behind, feeling that there was no problem and that she could soon practice some more of her techniques.
And just when they had finished talking about these battle plans, Minos looked over to King Snow’s side and said aloud. “Get ready! The barrier will break in one minute!”
Those people raised their fighting spirits even more as they heard the last cannonballs fired at that opaque barrier in front of them.
KA-BOOM!
Crack!
Crack!
Cracks spread across the surface of that thing, slowly breaking apart, revealing the sizeable ice-covered mountain that protected the Scourges of the Devil headquarters.
“Ah! Attack!”
“Attack! Kill everyone in your path!”
“Ahhh!”
Shouts from both sides arose as the enemies finally stood face to face, ready to battle!
