The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2735 Minos’ Demonstration of Power (2)

Picking up the 6th space storage item he had collected during this inheritance phase, Minos paid little attention to the contents of the new artifact in his hands.

He saw three individuals leave their rooms, one of them leaving from a completely green room, while the others left from rooms similar to the one the competitor who had just died had left.

Minos looked at the three of them and made them feel the surrounding reality change, taking them to a burning volcanic world, where six dragons left his back, each of his wings becoming a different creature.

The cultivation of one of them suddenly decreased, while Minos’ powers increased, causing the three of them to tremble shortly after setting foot outside their rooms.

Meanwhile, gravity made them fall to their knees on the floor under Minos’ golden eyes.

“You… You want to challenge me?” Minos’ voice made the hearts of all three of them tremble, especially the alien who had just won his challenge and didn’t want trouble.

Seeing them nodding their heads in sign that they didn’t want trouble, Minos held them a little tighter as he sensed what would happen next.

He saw one individual who was still trying to complete one room on this floor succeed in his challenge moments before the opening of the 62nd floor. Concurrently, one individual was going to fail her room in a few moments and was going to seriously attack Forfex soon after.

Minos was still allied with Forfex and Soli and even though they were his competitors for the next phase of the inheritance, if they survived to the end of this tower, he wouldn’t let them fall there. While keeping the situation under control with those three, he moved, walking so fast that it looked as if he had teleported to the other side of the room.

‘So fast?’ The individual who had won his room and had just fallen under the effects of Minos’ powers asked himself in shock.

The moment Minos appeared in his new position, a golden sword formed in the air in front of him, before he attacked the door that opened immediately afterwards.

The individual planning to attack someone and get a badge was surprised to come face to face with Minos just as she left her failing room.

“What?” she shouted as she turned even paler than she already was after two failures in a row on the 61st floor.

Minos then ran his sword through his target’s body, killing yet another opponent in this phase of the inheritance.

Another space storage item fell into his hands and he turned his attention to the five individuals watching him now. “You can fight each other, but don’t involve me or my companions.”

With those words, Minos collected his level 117 powers, which would last a few minutes before gradually returning to normal.

Meanwhile, the individual he had borrowed to cultivate found himself in a terrible situation. Weakened, he was soon killed by one competitor who had succeeded on this floor.

While the others fought, Minos sat down to wait for Forfex and Soli, who would successfully leave their respective rooms in the next 10 minutes.

The two would find their ally sitting quietly in a corner of the area as they left their rooms, while a hard-to-follow battle raged away from him.

Soon, the remaining rooms would open up and the confrontation that had taken place in the area would come to an end.

Of the 27 competitors who entered the 61st floor, 20 of them would go on to the 62nd, a lower number than the True Celestial had predicted there would be in this part of the inheritance.

But the current phase of the inheritance had already begun with fewer competitors than he had expected, and one of his potential heirs had far exceeded his expectations.

When the passage to the 62nd floor opened, the voice of the owner of the inheritance rang out in the minds of all the remaining competitors.

“The trials ahead will be a little more difficult than I initially prepared for. However, that won’t be the case until the 100th floor. This part of the inheritance will end when there are only 10 competitors left.”

Some of them looked at each other with the will to battle and kill half their numbers and thus finish the inheritance once and for all.

But others were confident in their comprehension skills to keep going until the end of the challenge. They wanted to last as long as possible in this phase of the inheritance in order to make the most of this place’s growth opportunities!

Among them, Minos and Soli preferred the challenge to last as long as possible.

But even if some of them wanted to fight right away, the rules forbade them from fighting before they had even tried one room on the new floor they had just entered. So everyone would enter one of the 40 rooms on the 62nd floor rapidly.

Upon entering room number 15, Minos came across the blond man behind the heirloom again.

He quickly sat down in front of the True Celestial and moved one piece on the board that they had been using to play for the last few years.

“I’m afraid I already understand your game, senior,” Minos said after seeing his opponent’s move in the peculiar game they had been playing.

The blond man smiled and asked, “Is that so? Tell me, Minos, what is the purpose of this challenge?”

“I would say that this challenge is a replica of what my competitors and I are doing in your tower, senior. The aim is to overcome the stones in the way, get stronger, and achieve what is necessary to find the way out.” He showed the center of the board.

“But that’s not all. The objective is to understand what you can do and to bring our skills up to the level needed for us to achieve similar feats. In short, it’s understanding your position and proves capable of replacing you.”

At Minos’ words, the True Celestial stood up from where he had been sitting. He honestly hadn’t expected Minos to solve this game so quickly, but the head start of the competitor in front of him wasn’t a problem.

‘It’s not for nothing that you circumvented my abilities and predicted the end of this inheritance phase.’ He molded something with his powers before giving it to Minos.

“Well done. You’ve won the game and now I must give you your prize and your tip.”
