The Rise of the Black Plain

After taking down all those people, Minos did not take long to place spiritual arrays around the necks of most there and then cover their eyes.

Then, he promptly traveled to the Spatial Kingdom with each of those women, taking the crown prince of this kingdom lastly.

At the end of it all, Minos locked them in the same room of the great lake house of the Spatial Kingdom, where those people would not be able to find out where they were even if they woke up while he was away from there.

After this, he did not take long and soon made his way towards the exit, returning in the same clothes as before, already with his mask covering his face.

The battle that had taken place there had undoubtedly caught the attention of some people in this palace. But for the time being, no riots had taken over this royal palace.

As such, Minos did his best to leave this property while keeping his identity a secret, just to ensure that he could leave Athela more easily.

Few people could stand in his way in this city, but there was no need for him to make his own life difficult. Consequently, he just did the bare minimum necessary to leave this place peacefully!

"Sigh..."

'Time to continue my journey northward...' He thought about this as he walked in the green area of that estate, feeling relieved to finish his affairs in the Kingdom of the Waves.

...

After Minos 'convinced' the royal guards to allow him to leave, it did not take long for things to start getting out of hand.

Just a few minutes after the end of Minos' 'battle,' the terrified employees of that residence had taken the action of going to see what had happened!

...

Gulp!

"What's that?" A middle-aged woman, dressed in typical maid attire, asked the rest of that king's residence staff.

After the previous noises, they had hidden in their rooms or workplaces. But after several minutes of fearing what might have happened, some of them had gathered the courage to see the result of what had happened here.

And with that, those people, five female employees, were slowly walking towards the entrance of that residence, trembling with fear as they saw the blood marks and broken furniture from afar.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Finally, one of them got close enough to that area where several mutilated bodies were, where heads dented or cut in different ways could be seen.

At the same time, several whole bodies of men could be seen in the undestroyed part of that place.

"My god..." One of the elders there smelled the foul smell of death while her legs grew weak amidst the terror of seeing such a place. "How did this happen?"

"Who did this? What a disgrace..." She was about to say that when suddenly she saw the head of one of William's widows, who was supposed to be the future Queen Mother of this state.

"Ahhhhhh!" She cried out in terror just before she brought one of her hands to her mouth, feeling the disgrace that had hovered over the Walker family.

But while that woman felt for the loss of that all-important person, it was not long before another of her companions found what had been left of Emmett.

"Oh, no... No... No..."

"The ancestor was killed!" That person shouted this as she felt a tightening in her heart.

She did not know Emmett that well, but as a part of this great organization, this woman knew that after William's death, the ancestor was what was left to maintain the family's power.

However, now they were both dead!

Consequently, that woman could not help but go into despair, feeling that the end was near!

But there is no such thing as too little misfortune. So, it did not take long for those maids to realize that all the high-ranking elders of this state who were at the headquarters for William's funeral had been killed!

Thus, not only was the Walker family significantly weakened, but the main supporters of the Kingdom of the Waves had died on this occasion!

What a great misfortune!

Gulp!

"Prince Wilfred and the... What?" Another was about to say something when she finally recognized Blake, a young man long gone missing in this state.

'That...'

'I wonder if that was...' She was thinking something but soon put such an idea aside. She felt that although drastic things had occurred in the past, no one would destroy their own family to gain control of it.

"Come here, Princes Wilfred and Blake are alive!"

"Let's get them to the doctors on duty!" That woman said in hope, feeling good that at least those two individuals had survived.

...

In the blink of an eye, the entire Walker family headquarters went into commotion after the events of William's residence spread.

That was a shocking event, something none of those people had experienced before or even heard of similar situations. And as a consequence, members of the royalty and subordinates of this organization soon began to discuss the matter, frightened and fearful that they would be next.

But even though many orders had already been given for the family to start acting, the crucial question they had in mind could only be answered by the survivors.

However, to everyone's misfortune, the two princes and Blake's followers were unconscious. And as Minos' technique was mysterious, no one knew when they would be able to wake up to report what had happened in this place.

With so many uncertainties in mind, with the information about the brutal death of 18 mighty Spiritual Kings, including the ancestor of this organization, the thousands of people in that royal palace soon panicked, fearful about the future.

Some wanted to hide, others wanted to fight and had even given orders for the city to be closed down. But, on the other hand, some of those people were already running around the area, trying to understand how such a strong enemy had entered such a place.

After all, if someone capable of making all that bedlam had reached their headquarters, why was the defensive barrier not destroyed? Why had not the whole place been destroyed?

The insensitive ones soon began to act in search of the answers to these questions, to understand the story behind this tragedy, which could very well become the beginning of the end for this family!

...

"Come on, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Several carriages of the local royal guard were moving at full speed amid the avenues of Athela, with their coachmen shouting at pedestrians or other vehicles to get out of their fronts.

It was late at night in this city. Still, like any place with millions of inhabitants, there was a bit of movement at any time of the day in Athela.

Consequently, the rushing, fearful royal guards shouted at everyone who stood in their way as they ran toward different destinations.

Some were rushing to the city's exits, where they intended to stop anyone from leaving the city. They also intend to check who had recently entered and left Athela.

Others were starting their investigations in the city itself. They were already beginning their search for strange information among certain groups of people, such as the vagabonds or even local transport services.

At the same time, a group was heading toward the headquarters of the Spiritual Church in this state, seeking that organization's support.

It was unusual for such shocking things to happen. But with a tragedy of such proportions, with the disappearance of the crown prince shortly before the royal funeral, that organization had to be informed about such an event one way or another.

On the other hand, that was the only organization that could support the Walker family now. Even that royal organization had not sustained itself in today's incident, so no one else in the region could help them!

With that, a group of nervous, fearful Walker family royal guards soon arrived at the church temple searching for the leader of that organization in this region, Gloria Frost!

...

And it was not long before some of the Bishops of that church post arrived at the Archbishop's apartment, asking for her support.

"Archbishop! Archbishop!"

"Archbishop, something terrible has happened!" An individual dressed in a purple robe said this in a terrified tone, feeling that what he had just heard could not be real.

'How did all that happen?' He wondered as he broke into a cold sweat, waiting for that woman outside her apartment.

And after a few minutes of begging to speak to Gloria, this beautiful redhead came to attend to such a person, feeling annoyed at being disturbed late at night.

"Bishop, what do you want?" She asked this while having a severe expression on her face.

But that old fellow was not bothered by Gloria's apparent irritation and just informed her about the tragedy that had just happened. "Archbishop, something horrendous has happened to the Walker family in the last few hours..."

Gulp!

He swallowed his saliva in nervousness and finished saying. "All the high-level warriors in their headquarters have been killed!"

"The Crown Prince and most of William's widows are missing, while even the Walker ancestor has been killed!"
