The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 1152 The Goddess' First Test 1

The skeleton remained kneeling and answered Abby. "Answering the Goddess' chosen one, the inheritance has three parts."

"The first, you will have to help the 200,000 innocent dead take revenge on the 40,000 enemies." He looked back and pointed in the direction of that large cemetery. "In a few minutes, all the bodies in this place will awaken, just as I did."

"They will have a power close to 20% of their original, so don't underestimate them because of their appearance."

"Oh? Why did you awaken first? What's the difference between you and them?" Abby asked.

He explained. "I, as well as other members of the Goddess' forces who died along with the innocents in this place, were left here to help the chosen ones."

"The others must be coming here right now or to the location of the other chosen one."

"So, you sense the presence of that fellow..." Minos muttered since he could not sense anything but the three of them.

"Regardless of how far that person is from us, I can sense him, as can my companions. After all, the sign of the Goddess' soul is impossible for us not to identify."

Minos ignored this and asked. "Anyway, so we only have to deal with 40,000 enemies? How strong are they?"

"There are 3,000 who have power similar to Spiritual Emperors, and the rest, Spiritual Kings."

These individuals were neither Spiritual Kings nor Spiritual Emperors. But due to their physical and vital conditions, their strength diminished to that point.

The skeleton then said, looking at Minos strangely. "But you can't get involved. You are not a competitor."

"Neither are you. But you're going to help the Goddess' chosen one, right?" Minos laughed. "Abby is my wife, so of course, I'm going to help her. Besides, I'm a competitor too. I just can't get the inheritance, but I have the option to do what I want."

"No, I don't think that's right..." It looked indignantly at Minos. "How can you be a candidate? I don't sense anything of the Goddess in you."

"Then how did I get in here?" Minos asked.

Abby then said. "My love, you had better follow the rules of the place..."

"No, Abby. We'll do it my way. I said, didn't I? We would do it only when I felt ready, and I would be by your side." He held her waist, squeezing gently. "There is no going back now. You will do as I say."

"All right..." She blushed as she looked away submissively.

Meanwhile, the skeleton was looking at the two in surprise, seeing a woman obeying her husband for the first time in his life. 'This fellow is truly abnormal!'

"I don't feel any restraint in this place, so that must mean that this Goddess recognizes me. Then I'll help you clear the battlefield so that we can shorten our time here."

The skeleton then said. "I wouldn't do that. The first test serves to help the innocent achieve justice and strengthen the Goddess' chosen ones. So, if you fight for her, the next two phases will be harder than they should be."

"I see..." Minos looked at the beauty in his arms for a moment and found the solution. "Then I will help you keep the number of opponents within your limits. That way, you will train with those opponents, but without any serious risk."

"Hmmm." She agreed with her man. "What about the other tests?"

The skeleton paused for a moment, stopping to look at that subject, and then answered Abby. "I'm not sure of the details of the third test, but in the second one, you will have to resolve a past situation in the Goddess' homeland."

"Depending on your answer to that problem, you will either be thrown back into the crypt from whence you came, or you will move on to the third test."

It then displayed its seriousness in its aura. "I don't know how the first test can help you in the second. But the third is the end of the inheritance, and the more you can 'kill' in this first test, the better your results will be later on."

"I see..." Minos more or less understood why Abby had to fight as hard as possible in that part of the inheritance. But then, he remembered something and asked. "You had said that this inheritance is about revenge. Is the revenge only from those dead inside the Secret Tomb? Or something else?"

"I'm not sure. But if you want my opinion, I think both."

At that instant, the graves in the surrounding area began to make noises, showing that the time was slowly coming for the test to begin.

"What do we do now?" Abby asked.Follow current s on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The skeleton then said. "Well, we better get out of here and meet up with our allies further on. In this place we're in are a lot of the enemies..."

"No, let's stay and fight. Aren't they mere Spiritual Kings and Spiritual Emperors?" Minos said, keen to start fighting as soon as possible.

"But they are in superior numbers to us. Besides the three of us, there are almost no allies in the surrounding area and a thousand enemies! Also, our allies are weaker, and most have the strength of only low-level Spiritual Kings!" The skeleton exclaimed.

Minos laughed and ignored that fellow. "Abby put on your armor. I will defend you and make the fight easier, but you had better be fully protected."

"OK." She took the low-level grade-3 armor and began to put it on over her clothes.

Minos did the same as her and was soon dressed in his golden armor. "By the way, why are you wearing the armor of this level? Weren't you stronger when you died?"

The skeleton answered him. "That must be a goddess thing. If my companions and the enemies wore higher level armor, then no inheritance candidate would have a chance to win."

After hearing this, the pair finished putting up their defenses, while some figures appeared flying nearby.

"Are those your companions you said earlier?" Abby asked as she saw the skeletons approaching them.

"Yes, they are some of my companions." This skeleton saw the six individuals approaching them.

After a few moments, the seven skeletons came together, each demonstrating power similar to level 64 Spiritual Emperors.

"It's been a long time, huh? I didn't think I would see you again after I died." The skeleton who first spoke to Minos said this to its companions while moving its large jaw.

"Hehe, we'll finally be able to get revenge on those bastards!"

"I'll get a taste of the battlefield one more time before I disappear..."

They commented on different things to each other until they turned to greet Abby.

But the moment they did so, they felt the same annoyance that the first of them felt about Minos. "Who are you?" One of them asked.

Minos smiled. "I am the husband of this beautiful woman who will inherit the things of this place."

Abby looked into Minos' eyes and ignored those inexpressive skeletons. "My love, you are making me blush..."

"Hmm," He ran one of his hands through her blue hair and then looked at those individuals. "From now on, you will obey me."

"I will command you on the battlefield."

"But..." One of them was going to protest, but the first skeleton to meet Minos and Abby stopped it.

Seeing this, Minos was pleased and then looked in the direction of where several bodies were beginning to emerge from their graves.

"Well, let's get started..."
