Novel Full Chapter 2748 Facing the Problem
2748 Facing the Problem The moment Minos heard such a thing from Abby, he confirmed his hypothesis that she wasn’t responsible for the approach of the undead.
‘That was to be expected… I would have been surprised if she was responsible. But I still had some doubt in my heart. In any case, who will be responsible for it?’ Minos asked himself amid his interrogation of Abby.
Then he moved on to his next question. ‘Do you think you could influence these undead coming here?’
Along with Minos’ question, Abby felt a scene from the future flash across her mind, showing a gigantic horde of undead surrounding Cursed Rock.
‘That…’ Even she couldn’t help but open her mouth in shock, having never imagined anything even close to that.
‘I don’t know. Not in my current situation. But outside of here and with your help, it’s possible to bring some of them over to our side. Luckily, I reached level 115 before falling into the hands of the enemies.’
‘All right. We’ll see about that during the escape. For now, you should wait for me. Those living dead will arrive here soon and cause a commotion. At that point, I’ll take action to rescue our group.’
‘I’ll wait anxiously.’
‘By the way, do you know where the rest of the group is?’ he asked her.
‘No. I haven’t seen them since we got here. On a few occasions, my torturers have said things about them, threatening me and so on. But I don’t know their exact situation. What I can tell you is that everyone has already made use of their Flashdrain parasites. That’s one of the reasons we fell.’
Abby had already summarized for Minos what had happened for them to fall and arrive at their current situation. After being sucked into a spatial distortion, they arrived in the western region of Uzira, in an area in the middle of a competition for special cultivation sites.
This helped the group at the time, despite the dangers they came into contact with. The women of Minos could grow quickly in such a place and several of the group’s Supremes advanced in level. But before some of them had even finished taking their chances, they were forced by the challenges of the place and the strong competition in the area. Little by little, the members of the group sacrificed their parasites until they reached the point where four of them died and the rest were too weak to fight. Not long after that, they fell into the hands of Uzira’s sovereign forces, who brought them to Cursed Rock, beginning the current phase of their lives.
Now Abby and the others had been there for some years, each of them having already suffered bitter situations.
Minos kept what he heard in mind and said aloud, “Don’t worry, trespasser. Soon you and your beloved husband will be together in this prison! Just wait and I’ll torture you both face to face!”
Abby cursed Minos a few times as the old, frail-looking man left the cell, returning to Jailer Deryk’s side.
“Your negotiating skills are impressive, senior,” said the man waiting for Minos there in the corridor of that section of the prison. “Perhaps someone like you could come to Cursed Rock more often.”
Minos laughed as he walked back to the place he had passed when he came to the cell wing of this grand unit of the sovereign family of Uzira.
Arriving near the exit, Minos said. “I’m going to hunt that guy down now. Depending on my results, we’ll see you again in no time.”
“Hmm, I’m looking forward to it,” the man said sincerely, when the door connecting the prisoners’ wing and the guards’ wing finally opened.
But as the grand, sturdy door swung open, the two were surprised to see a white-haired woman, dressed entirely in black, appear in their path.
Minos and Deryk immediately recognized this figure, and both stopped where they stood, the Jailer feeling a chill run down his spine, while Minos narrowed his eyes.
‘This woman is dangerous. She’s part of Uzira’s elite necromancers!’ Minos sensed the information from the old man he was now wearing the guise of, as he found himself in an uncertain situation.
‘Why is she here? This person shouldn’t be in Cursed Rock!’
“Miss Sal!” Jailer Deryk opened his mouth as he called the name of the level 122 woman standing in front of them.
She glared at Minos while ignoring Deryk, remaining silent for almost a minute, making the situation in this place extremely uncomfortable.
“Barnet…” After a moment, she called out the name of the figure Minos was representing, making Deryk look at him as he broke out in a cold sweat. “Miss Sal…” He called her back in a questioning tone, curious to know if she had anything to tell him.
“Where have you been recently?” she asked, standing in the middle of the passage out of the prisoners’ wing. “I was looking for you.”
“I was hunting someone… In fact, I came to the Cursed Rock because of this someone. An invader, so to speak. The family will be pleased when he falls.” Minos tried to laugh it off as casual.
“Is that so?” But the woman had a sharp look on her face that kept the situation tense, even with his attempt.
“Would this person you’re looking for look something like this?” She created a 3D image with her own energy, forming a figure similar to the one Minos really looked like.
Jailer Deryk was surprised to see it here. “Looks like you two are hunting the same target, haha. What a coincidence!”
“Indeed.” She finally showed a different expression from the neutral look, raising the corners of her lips.
‘No. There are no coincidences like that!’ Minos braced himself, subtly moving his hands behind his back in preparation.
“So…” He began, looking deep into this woman’s eyes. “What does Miss Sal want from me?”
“What do I want?” She laughed as she stepped forward, wearing on one of her wrists the same device that the members of this prison unit wore to maintain their cultivations, even in this special area. “I want to know how you’re standing in front of me, when you were killed days ago by the same man I just showed you!”
Jailer Deryk changed his expression, first not understanding what Sal meant, but then looking at Barnet’s figure, becoming more and more suspicious.
‘This… What’s going on here?’
At that moment, however, both the natives of the area, loyal to the sovereign family of Uzira, felt and saw the surrounding space change, with the exit door in that area closing, while Minos’ cultivation suddenly jumped up a level.
A sword emerged from a small spatial distortion, piercing Deryk’s back, going through him so fast that even the man was surprised to feel and see the blood dripping from his chest.
