The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2772 Portal to Hell

Minos looked in the direction Abby had showed and saw a completely black rock floating in the air. It appeared at the side of their group, at one limit of the region of influence of the black hole in his hands.

But this was no ordinary rock. It had the shape of a creature and gave the impression of something with its own cultivation. The way it appeared there and was slowly moving indicated that it had consciousness or was being controlled by something that had consciousness.

Minos stopped moving forward and focused on it, trying to see through it with his special visual ability. But just as was already happening with his prophetic ability, he got nothing by trying to see through it.

The thing, however, looked at him and then at Abby and then moved, attacking in his direction. freēwebnovel.com

Minos moved too, as his body grew stronger and his wings sprouted to attack.

The black rock reached him, punching him in the chest so fast that Minos almost let out a cry of surprise.

When he felt the strange creature’s heavy fist reach his chest, Minos grimaced, but endured the movement as he counterattacked. His chest emitted a subtle rumble as his wings attacked the enemy’s flanks.

The rock seemed surprised to see its target resist its movement so well, as it dodged Minos’ wings and tried to get closer to Abby.

But at that moment, a blue chain wrapped itself around its legs, while liquid mercury enveloped the area, launching several attacks against its body.

Abby herself didn’t stand still. She wasn’t foolish to use necromancer powers there. She used her other abilities, making a blue power extend from her body to those of her allies, propelling the senses of her companions.

Despite making mistakes with his counterattack moves, Minos didn’t stop. He raised one of his hands in the air and used the black hole, no longer hesitating to deal with the creature in a more violent way.

The creature made of rock could no longer escape easily when Minos’ black hole grew several times larger, swallowing up the entire area where they were acting.

Everything that wasn’t in Minos’ interest to keep as it was, was swallowed up into that region of space, including the rocky existence acting against them.

The four humans felt the rocky creature disappear into the singularity of Minos’ black hole. Meanwhile, he frowned as he felt a large amount of energy growing in his fusion and quickly focused on controlling this energy, momentarily not paying attention to his surroundings.

Abby, Gloria and Ruth saw a much wider space revealing itself beyond the mercury sphere Gloria had used moments ago to defend Abby. The dark fog from earlier receded over 200 meters away from Minos, enabling them to see what they had in a much larger area than earlier.

It was at this moment that Ruth, the first of them to notice, spotted a spatial crack in the middle of what looked like a place used for rituals on one of the shores of this black lake.

The place had an obelisk-shaped stone in its center, three points equally distant from each other and several rocks like the one Minos had just consumed. But what really caught their attention was the portal on one side of the obelisk-shaped stone, from where they could see a fraction of a dimension different from the area they were in. This place revealed an intense red glow, but also a lot of darkness.

Dark drops escaped from the edge of this portal, flowing down the strange shore and joining the liquid in the lake.

Minos finally formed a Black Hole Bomb when he saw what was paralyzing his wives.

“That… Would that be Hell?” he asked them, but also himself, identifying the black liquid of great value to him, but also its origin.

Taking his eyes off it and looking at the area he still couldn’t see beyond 200 meters, Minos drew some conclusions. “I’m pretty sure that this isn’t the only portal to Hell here.” He estimated, getting Abby’s agreement.

“Yes, that’s right. And those portals are what are calling me, Minos,” she said with concern, especially for her companions.

The thought of going through that portal and seeing what Hell was like crossed Abby’s mind, which naturally made her feel worried about the non-necromancers in her group.

Minos remained serious, but their fate there was rather obvious. Whatever was preventing him from seeing the future obviously wanted them to move on.

They hadn’t come this far to give up now, so he walked ahead, keeping an eye out for the black rock creatures on that shore.

He held the Black Hole Bomb in his hands, gradually absorbing the energy escaping from this powerful weapon.

The creatures hesitated to move against him as he motioned for his women to accompany him.

“Be prepared. I don’t know what this journey and the problems on the other side might be like.”

The three women followed him steadily, each aware that there were no easy alternatives for them.

‘What will this hell be like? Will we come across dead people there? There are some companions I’d like to see again,’ Gloria thought to herself, curious in her own way.

‘Will we be able to see Isabella again?’ Ruth remembered the harem sister she had lost at the beginning of the War of the Worlds.

But Minos didn’t have the same hope. In his opinion, Hell was not a home for souls, but a place where souls passed through temporarily and then returned in different ways to the universe.

He was curious, though. Hell was a great uncertainty and all he had was speculation. Knowing what the place was really like was something he would consider no less important than understanding the Upper Realm.

When the four of them arrived in front of that portal, they held hands with each other, connecting physically and spiritually.

Under the close observation of the black rocks on that bank of the black river, they made their way to that small portal, which was capable of receiving two of them concurrently.
