The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2516 Fighting a Level 114 Sovereign?

In the blink of an eye, the test of the Hydra Amulet was over for Minos, and he achieved a fantastic result with 42 new corpses in his spatial ring.

He collected the bodies of these cultivation enemies between level 109 and 113, bodies that were nutritious for the Spiritual World, but some of them even had value for Abby to resurrect in the future.

By gathering the artifacts of these beings into a single storage item, Minos would continue his journey forward to the next stop, which was four days away from his current location.

The items left behind by his enemies weren’t that impressive to the current Minos, even so, the wealth of 42 Sovereigns was not something to be ignored.

After analyzing what could be used by his group or exchanged for other resources or even merit points in the future, he was more than satisfied with his harvest. 𝚏ree𝚠nove𝚕.com

His main purpose was to test the Hydras Amulet, so these artifacts were a bonus for him!

‘Let’s see if I will be followed in the next few days… Someone will notice the smell of Soulbloom by the time I get back to the guild…’ He thought to himself as he felt his energy return to its best, the amulet glowing and helping him to recover faster.

One of the amulet’s special powers was like Ruth’s innate ability to speed up cell regeneration and spiritual recovery.

“I look forward to the next battles!”

…

In the blink of an eye, another 10 days had passed!

After fighting more battles on the way to Dewville, gaining more bodies, resources, and training opportunities, Minos passed through the city, where he had to fulfill a mission to predict someone’s future.

This was easy for Minos, so after less than 2 hours in this city, he left Dewville for Examire, 9 days away from this place.

After passing through Dewville, Minos once again faced enemies interested in the resource he had collected earlier. Another 39 enemies tried to take action against him after he passed through the city and arrived at his current location, where he was halfway back to Examire.

After killing over 100 enemies in the last two weeks, including 3 level 113 Sovereigns, Minos was calmly sitting by a stream today, grilling fish and resting to continue the last part of his journey.

As had been the case since his departure from Coldgrasp, several people were watching him. However, several of them had felt or seen the fight six hours ago, the last battle in which Minos had taken part, killing a group of four level 112 Sovereigns.

Afraid to act against him while he was at his best, these individuals were only watching him for now.

Minos knew that while he eat his grilled fish with a mischievous smile at the corner of his lips.

He wouldn’t use his teleportation to Examire because of these opponents in his way. It might be more advantageous for him to fight them directly, he had been traveling slowly, not making any effort to move faster from one point to another.

When he finished eating his fish, he calmly sipped a cup of tea, making his observers bite their nails in anticipation.

‘Wretch! You’re lucky there’s no peak Sovereign around,’ thought one creature watching Minos.

After a few minutes of standing there, Minos put out his fire and continued on his way back to Examire.

‘In four more days I’ll reach Examire. Soon those guys will stop following me,’ Minos thought as he moved, knowing these individuals knew he was part of Armhands, and the closer he was to the headquarters, the less likely they would attack him.

He would travel for the next 12 hours with no problems, attracting a dozen more individuals who were interested in Soulbloom, but who didn’t act when they felt so many others just watching Minos without doing anything.

But at the end of another night’s journey, he would encounter the first level 114 being in his path!

…

Finding himself face to face with a level 114 Zocarro native, Minos became alert and prepared to summon his corpses at the guild and test the Hydras Amulet at an even higher level.

But while the being in his path stood still and watched him intently, and Minos felt the tension of the moment, this creature raised a hand in a sign of peace.

“Member of the Armhands, a few Soulblooms aren’t enough for me to challenge your guild. I’m just passing through. Go your way and I’ll go mine.” Said this being, who wasn’t as bold as the many levels 111, 112, and 113 Sovereigns standing around watching Minos intently.

‘We are only a few hours away from the headquarters of the Armhands. If I take action against this alien, I’ll be in trouble. The guild wouldn’t send a level 105 junior on a mission like this… There must be more to this than meets the eye.’

The creature thought as he walked around, making the peace sign without turning his back, while the human did the same.

For a level 114 Sovereign like him, the amount of Soulbloom with Minos wasn’t enough for his greed to fool his sharp senses!

‘Looks like I won’t be testing it today… That’s not bad either. I’ll have other missions in the future.’ Minos thought to himself as he walked forward without turning his back on the enemy.

The only people who didn’t like this development were those who were there to chase Minos and find an opportunity to act against him.

After the initial tension, the two sides went their separate ways, moving further and further away from each other until one was so far from the other that it could no longer feel their presence.

With the battle between Minos and the level 114 Sovereign not taking place, some of his enemies would give up the chase in the next few minutes, listening to their rational sides.

They were too close to Armhands! If they didn’t act soon, they’d better give up and run before Minos got to Examire and reported them to his guild members!

At this rate, the last three days of Minos’ journey would be uneventful, with no more confrontations with individuals interested in Soulbloom.

At the end of those three days, Minos would return to the guild’s headquarters before completing three of his 16 punishment missions.
