The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2786  Level 120

A few years have passed since Minos' hunt. He had the opportunity to hunt spectres again after having traveled through space previously. Coincidentally, he again encountered one of the two individuals he had spotted on his first hunt for a fugitive from Hell.

Minos thought it was a great coincidence and promised himself and the sorcerer that if there was a third time, they would talk about it in a different way.

But apart from those events months after his first hunt, he didn't have any other opportunity to leave Hell to hunt spectres. He spent his time hunting down his rivals for the throne of the dimension, gaining a few more victories and new domains.

Six months ago, Minos had reached his 15th territory, which guaranteed him an advance to level 120!

Now his body was more corrupted and his territory no longer resembled that of a beginner in Hell's disputes. If he grew a little more, he would soon reach the point where he could vie with those close to challenging for the Devils' position.

Minos wasn't worried about his speed of growth, however. After almost 8 years in Hell, he had finally found signs of his women a few days ago!

Minos found the remnant of solid mercury bearing Gloria's spiritual mark in an underground cave near a newly conquered domain. From this place in question, he moved on with his investigation, eager to be back at his wives' side.

...

The time in Hell had removed some of Minos' humanity. His way of dealing with the dead, souls escaping Hell, and his competitors had cooled. He was much calmer these days, but also much more interested in maintaining a classic and functional Hell.

But besides these changes, his abilities had grown exponentially, along with his diabolical powers. His crown was now bigger, almost so big that it turned into a special helmet, perfectly matching the black rocky skin exposed on parts of Minos' spiritual body.

He still couldn't use his non-innate abilities that he had in his universe, but using the black liquid, his understanding of these abilities and his powerful cultivation, he could expose manipulations close to his natural powers.

Now he was seeing a black trail, similar to a dense, thin gas close to the ground, leading him towards his targets. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He couldn't predict the future in Hell, nor tell the best direction to take. But this black trail was leading him to the destination he wanted to reach.

'It's getting thicker... Well, she's nearby.' He smiled as he had a few Hell guardians with him.

Minos could now summon over 500 undead and almost 60 guardians simultaneously.

Minos didn't know if Qhava was watching him, but if she wasn't, she would certainly be shocked by his growth speed!

In the midst of his hunt, Minos stopped, sensing something he knew ahead, no longer needing to use his powers to form the path made by Gloria.

He thought he would only find Gloria that way, but he soon felt Ruth's aura and couldn't help moving faster, running through the area as his feet left cracks in the ground.

As he overcame the remaining hill in front of him, Minos faced a situation that didn't surprise him. In the distance was another post belonging to one contender for the throne, a level 124 creature that was standing there in position in front of his domain at this very moment.

In front of the palace, surrounded by hundreds of undead, was what looked like a combat platform, where two women, one with red hair and the other with black hair, were armed and wearing bone armor, fighting each other.

Mercury vibrated on the battlefield under the powers of the red-haired woman, while a renewing energy healed the wounds of the woman with the long black hair.

The two were on opposite sides of the combat, but they weren't the only ones fighting. Other beings, all of them with crowns on their heads, the same situation as these two women, were fighting there too, for what seemed to be the amusement of the ruler of this domain.

The man at level 124 looked up the hill and saw the guest he had been waiting to arrive.

"Looks like you've arrived in the middle of my show..." said the level 124 being, looking confidently at Minos.

Everyone on the combat platform in front of the palace stopped, turning their red, malicious eyes towards Minos.

Minos clenched one of his fists at the sight of his women in such a situation. The hatred that pulsed in his heart almost blinded him, making him feel that man's beating heart and a burning desire to tear him from his enemy's body.

But he didn't lose control of himself. One positive thing about his growth in Hell had been his growing confidence in his own abilities, which led him to calmer actions.

That enemy hadn't done it on purpose, setting Ruth and Gloria up to fight each other in order to affect the newly arrived enemy. It was clear that the aspirant Devil enjoyed watching his underlings fight.

He didn't know how Gloria and Ruth had ended up in the hands of this enemy, but now he was there.

He walked through the enemy's territory without bothering to summon his undead, or even send his guardians to fight the enemy's minions. Minos simply walked on as darkness slipped from his grasp and the pressure on the area intensified.

The weaker ones there felt as if invisible giant feet had formed above them and started pressing down on them, while, with every step Minos took, he advanced dozens of meters, but also a level higher.

The enemy really didn't know Minos and hadn't done anything on purpose to annoy his opponent. He had sensed that Minos was coming at him, but he hadn't bothered to leave his casual fun to a mere level 120 Supreme.

But when Minos was two steps away from him and already at level 122, the guy realized that there was a problem there that could end his life.

Minos had completed the remaining distance, by which time all the corpses and guardians around this enemy were either fallen or kneeling on the ground, too hard pressed to keep their heads upright.

Minos' cultivation had reached level 124, the highest peak he had ever reached!
