The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 584: The Great Battle 3

Quickly many battles spread out in different directions from the dome of Dry City, with visual, tangible, and sound effects spreading for many kilometers away from those areas. And while many people were watching this from the local wall, the battle gradually moved away from this location.

The Silva family guards had been very decisive at the beginning of the various battles. Hence, some of those thousand people had managed to escape the initial attacks by the local soldiers. As such, although almost 30 minutes had passed since the arrival of the enemies, there were still some signs of fighting here and there.

But while a few people had managed to get their fighting further away from the wall or had even gained some advantage for a possible escape, most had fallen.

Of the more than 1,600 people at the beginning of the whole situation, people from both groups, more than 800 of them had already fallen at this point!

Of those numbers, they all referred to the Silva family guards, who had dared to approach the surrounding space of Dry City.

But this was expected. After all, there were warriors with Black-grade techniques in Minos' army, besides the three Spiritual Kings accompanying three of four groups.

On the other hand, the Silva family side had only one such person, a level 54 individual...

Consequently, although they had resisted in the beginning and even caused some trouble for the Dry City forces, the Silva family side had in the end just courted death.

That was the Dry City territory, a place where the local forces had many possibilities for action. Hence, upon entering the lair of this dangerous predator, most of the Silva family's subordinates on this mission had fallen...

In particular, those who had been unlucky enough to run into Celeste and Eduard's groups. The two of them were Spiritual Kings from the army, and they didn't like the idea of having to leave their training to fight in a battle like this.

Because of all this, both had acted decisively in this great battle, especially that woman!

Celeste already possessed some Silver-grade techniques. Hence, the disparity in their power was too great, and the opponents who had passed her way had suffered the most...

That was similar to what had happened to the enemy group of Eduard's team but on a much larger scale.

On the other hand, the team that Eliot had accompanied had been by far the one with the best opportunities to fight a more balanced battle. But to the misfortune of the enemies of Dry City, their opponents were powerful collectively, and most of those guards had died at the hands of Sergeant Humbert's comrades at this point!

...

Anyway, while many of the Black Plain Army soldiers were already collecting the belongings of their enemies and cremating the bodies of the dead, Minos was pursuing an enemy team at this very moment!

After his group had encountered the enemy forces, Minos had not failed to realize that there was one person among the opponents who had already reached the 6th stage. Hence, he had acted as decisively as possible to deal with such a person.

But unfortunately for him, such an opponent was not here to challenge him. That Spiritual King had already started running before he even realized Minos' presence in this place.

When this had happened, the young sovereign of this territory had found this behavior very strange. After all, a level 54 opponent had run from a fight against a group of people who had as their strongest cultivator someone at only level 49.

Hell, they even had the advantage in number and terms of spiritual strength!

On the other hand, Minos knew that the Silva family was a power that valued individual strength more than most of the prominent families of the Brown Kingdom. As such, one would expect the members of such an organization to be a bit more fearless, courageous...

Unfortunately, this was not the case for this group in question, or things would have been much easier for Minos!

However, upon realizing this, young Stuart had not thought that there was a coward among the members of the Silva family. On the contrary, he had understood that such an opponent already considered the power behind Dry City a threat and would no longer act rashly.

In other words, this was an examination team, bad news for him and the Black Plain!

That is, considering the strength of the enemy party, the Silva family probably didn't know about the Dry City dome, or they wouldn't have sent such people to die here. So, suppose this information reached House Silva after today. In that case, Minos could already prepare for the royal family to be involved in this problem.

That was the problem!

Anyway, because of all this, Minos was pursuing the Spiritual King of that group and two people accompanying that target of his.

He had been launching several attacks while running after such people, making it as difficult as possible for them to escape, sometimes even forcing them to fight back.

But because his opponents had acted even more decisively than he had at the start of everything, young Stuart had a disadvantage that he still had to overcome.

He was faster than those opponents, but the difference was not by a large margin. The opposite of that, he would need some time to fully overcome the initial advantage of those individuals, something that was hindering his purpose of eliminating such targets.

But with each passing moment, he was getting closer to those people, and his attacks increasingly left the opposing side in a more drastic situation!

...

"Shit! That miserable bastard is too strong!"

"How can someone at level 49 have that much power?" One of those people accompanying the leader of this Silva family group asked in anger.

He and his other level 49 companion were a few dozen meters away from Oliver, the team leader of this mission. At the same time, they were trying to get away from Minos and give their leader enough time...

But with Minos getting closer and closer to them, these two individuals were feeling more and more the terror of this young man's techniques.

Upon hearing his companion's complaint, that man took a brief look back and then turned his attention forward. "Will Mr. Oliver make it to our carriage in time? If he fails to send the crow to headquarters, we will be finished. The family will be left with no way to find out about it!"

However, instead of hearing the voice of his comrade, this level 49 Spiritual General who had just spoken listened to a strange sound, and suddenly his body froze.

He had no idea what was going on, but he felt as if his body had been trapped by some invisible force that prevented him from moving!

All he could do was feel the terror of it, while many doubts frightened him.

'What's going on?' He asked himself before his eyes finally darkened completely, and he lost consciousness.

He had died without even understanding his situation!

And it had been no different for this individual's level 49 associate.

From the moment Minos had gotten close enough to them for his Spatial Sword technique to work, both had been frozen and then became easy targets for young Stuart.

As a result of such an action, Minos had taken the lives of these two beings, causing their bodies to split in two halves.

But this young sovereign had not stopped at any point. On the contrary, while activating his techniques to finish those two individuals, Minos continued running after Oliver, the most dangerous enemy.

'Just one more!' He thought to himself, not even bothering to look in the direction of the two men he had just killed.

He just continued to look in the direction of Oliver, that man that had just approached from a carriage in the middle of an area where there were many other means of transportation like this.
