The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1453

When a powerful spiritual blade struck Abe, he and the Spiritual Sage were only a millisecond away from reaching their destination.

Because of this, the Spiritual Sage did not notice when his protégé's body was hit by one of the many attacks that penetrated the wormhole he had opened.

This man had been hit by several attacks in that short instant while fleeing away, but none of it had hurt him more significantly.

Since he had used his body to prevent most of the blows from hitting Abe, when he appeared back in normal space, this man had no idea of the outcome of his escape.

As he fell to the ground and lost contact with Abe's body, he looked at his surroundings. He saw that he was far from the previous hellish battlefield, noting that he finally had no more enemies around.

"Abe, let's go." He said as he turned back and looked at the fellow who had just fallen out of his arms when they fell in that forest in the middle of Cromwell.

However, when he saw Abe's situation, this man immediately rushed to this terrorist's side, already using his soul probing to understand this person's situation.

Abe suffered a severe injury from the enemy attacks that had managed to infiltrate the wormhole. The worst of all, his head was broken like a watermelon that had fallen to the ground.

Several cuts, burns of varying degrees, and purple wounds could be seen all over his body, showing this man that Abe had suffered before they reached this place.

But probing this person would deliver him the worst of results.

Abe's soul had been destroyed, and he was finally dead!

Realizing the end of his mission in this place, this man sighed in disappointment.

He did not feel good about the death of anyone from these areas, although he did not feel bad either. But he could not help but admit that after living so many months saving Abe's ass, he had raised some hopes of seeing this guy win.

But what was even worse was that after so many months working in these poor areas, he had no choice but to return to the Eastern Empire empty-handed.

And that angered him deeply!

"Damn it!"

He shouted in anger as he fell to his knees in front of Abe's body. "Damned Minos! You finally did it!"

Unfortunately for him, there was nothing he could do to get revenge since, besides having to return immediately to the empire, someone was watching him.

'This humiliation will have a comeback someday...' The person in the 'void' thought before disappearing from the area, confident that the assault of enemy forces on Church territories would finally end after today.

'I will notify the Black Plain group and then return with my updates...'

...

Meanwhile, in the volcanic field between Cromwell and Vogel, thousands of individuals who participated in this attack were scouring the surroundings, ensuring that Abe was not around.

Some were already regretting that they had missed their chance to eliminate Abe. At the same time, others were beginning to sigh that this chance had passed, but they did not regret it too much since they had come so close.

Among those dissatisfied with not being able to see Abe's body in the present day, Minos was in the center of that area, gathering with his women and some of the strongest of his forces.

"Search the area for traces of them." He said aloud. "We will stay here until the end of the day. If we find nothing, we will return to our previous plans."

The less weary of those individuals accepted Minos' commands and set off in different directions to search for Abe's whereabouts.

As for the remaining terrorists, after he had finished absorbing their energies, Minos eliminated them. So no enemy had been left behind.

At the same time, because of how powerful Minos' group was, none of his forces died that day, although many had spent almost all their strength to make the situation of the Spiritual Sage so tricky.

Because of this, although they had not seen Abe's body, some people there were not feeling so bad since none of them had died.

That just was not true for the natives of Vogel, who had joined the group to eliminate their greatest enemy.

"Tsk!"

"Damn it!"

"I almost managed to crush him!" One of those Vogel Spiritual Saints said angrily, remembering how his blow had almost crushed his opponent's body.

But then, as the people on the outskirts of that now volcanic area worked or wailed, a wormhole appeared in the sky, and everyone suddenly raised their guard.

"Spiritual Sages?"

"He came to take revenge?"

Many people noticed the arrival of this person and feared enemy reprisal.

But when Minos looked in the direction of the newcomer, he realized this person was not the enemy Spiritual Sage but a Cardinal of the Spiritual Church.

Upon seeing that person dressed in a silver cloak, Gloria and several members of the Spiritual Church in the area greeted, welcoming that person.

That individual did not plan to stay for long and announced for everyone in the surrounding area to hear him. "Inhabitants of the Black Plain Empire, Abe Vogel has just died, about 450 kilometers north of this area, in a part of Cromwell."

"My congratulations to all involved and to Your Majesty for helping to deal the final blow to this traitor." This person said with a smile on his face.

He was part of the Spiritual Church's group of executioners. So Abe's death had fulfilled that organization's assassination mandate against that man. Because of his background, he was pleased with the situation and could not help but look favorably at Minos.

"He's dead?"

"Really?" The first to celebrate the news was precisely the natives of Vogel, who were most upset about Abe's escape.

But upon hearing the news of the situation of the Black Plain's greatest enemy, Abby, Ruth, and Gloria could not help but show dazzling smiles on their faces. They finally achieved what was necessary for peace!

'With his death, we will be able to focus on our state once again!' Abby clenched her fists and imagined that maybe it was time for Minos to go back to trying to get her and Ruth pregnant again.

Ruth was not exactly thinking about it at the moment. Still, she was already imagining spending more time with Sarah and seeing the Black Plain developing in peace again.

"Congratulations, Minos. You beat him." Gloria hugged her daughter's father, feeling a relief in her shoulders that she had not felt in a while.

Right now, they were not only getting rid of Abe, but of all the recent stress they had been through. The last few years had not been easy, with problems concerning Abe, Flaming Empire, allied states...

But now, most of those problems had ended, and it was time for them to rest!

Then, Minos said. "Some of you, come with me. We are going to the capital of Vogel."
