The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1567

When one of Minos' feet hit that defensive shell, the many cracks on it immediately opened up, while a shrill sound of something breaking broke from there.

Simultaneously, Adele felt the action of Minos' other techniques on her body intensifying while expressing pain on her beautiful face.

She tried to defend herself, putting her two arms in a defensive position over his head and chest, but there wasn't much she could do in this situation.

All she could do was endure Minos' multiple attacks, feeling increasingly exhausted, while he seemed not to weaken.

But even in this situation, Minos noticed his opponent's resistance and put a little more pressure on her, activating his soul ability.

Dark Sea!

Upon activating this ability, darkness spread from the body of Minos' Soul Avatar, generating a dark mist covering him and quickly Adele.

That was a type of soul attack, so no physical defense Adele could prevent such a thing.

All she could do in this situation was to have a soul strong enough to ignore the corrosive effects of Minos' ability.

However, she was not able to completely ignore it. While she was defending herself against Minos' further attacks, she suddenly began to feel the effects of that darkness.

A chill came over her soul, making her feel the sensation of death approaching her being. Along with this, her greatest fears surfaced in her mind, revealing her vulnerabilities.

Gulp!

'What's that?' She wondered as she took a hard look at her surroundings, seeing strange silhouettes there that looked a lot like some of her biggest nightmares.

Even though there was nothing but her and Minos in the surroundings, she felt as if her failed version was there to judge her.

'You will be incapable!' a voice resembling her own came into her mind.

'Give up!'

She tried to move as if she were trying to escape this nightmare, but it was to no avail.

'You will never be able to advance to this level!' The voice repeated as she faced her failed version.

Adele's greatest goal was to become a Spiritual Demigod and replace her mother as Queen of the Flowers Kingdom.

That should be her destiny since she was the last daughter of Hannah, the Crown Princess.

However, if she could not reach the 10th stage, even though she was the first in the line of succession, she would lose her preference to become the queen, leaving this possibility to her sister, the second princess.

The second princess had always been very talented, creating high expectations for Adele, who, as heiress, had to at least deliver similar results. Unfortunately, this caused her problems and she herself had nightmares in which she could not reach the 10th stage and would fail to achieve her goal.

Under Minos' pressure, she found herself amid this nightmare, losing some of her attention in defending herself against him, opening gaps in her defenses.

'Now!' Minos noticed the match's decisive moment and jumped towards his opponent's body, grabbing her by the legs and moving her against the ground.

Using her as if Adele were a big hammer, Minos slammed this woman's back and part of her head against the ground, finally knocking his opponent out.

Adele had no chance to realize what had happened, already unconscious, when the effects of the Dark Sea dissipated, and she and Minos were revealed under black mist evaporating from the surroundings.

The women and eunuchs above level 90 had all seen what had happened within the mist surrounding Minos. But low-level Spiritual Sages and the others weaker than that had not seen the final part of Minos and Adele's fight.

That mist was strong enough that even people above level 80 were unable to see through it!

So Bridget had a serious look on her face as she saw her unconscious sister practically at Minos' feet.

'That's going to be tricky...' She imagined, feeling that a battle between her and Minos would be more even, but it would not be easy for her.

On the other hand, while eunuchs and women were muttering almost incomprehensible things in the surroundings, Minos looked at the queen and said. "That can be considered my victory in the challenge, right? She is unconscious to give me the victory, but Your Majesty can finish this challenge."

Hannah and the other people there knew that Minos could use one of his fusions and kill Adele. So to insist that woman had to give up on her own would be foolish.

The queen soon accepted the outcome of this fight to avoid Emperor Stuart having to take desperate acts. "Very well, you have followed the challenge's rules, and your opponent cannot defend herself against you." Queen Mcbride said. "You win this challenge against my daughter, Adele Mcbride.

Your Majesty Minos Stuart, what do you wish as a prize for this victory?"

Minos smiled, satisfied, ignoring the many ugly looks in his direction, disappointed by his attitude. He said. "Release Harold Edwardstone from his past commitments and let him return to the Flaming Empire."

The woman who was to receive Harold's seeds turned on her back and clenched her fists, dissatisfied with the outcome of Her Highness Adele, whom she had trusted not to lose.

The queen had nothing to deny Minos since she had already promised him about this. So all she asked was obvious. "Very well, I will do it. You have my word. But now, do you wish to leave the Flowers Kingdom, or will you continue?"

"I will continue." He said, looking at Bridget.

"You have one hour to do anything. After that period, you may be challenged once more." Hannah said before appearing beside Adele and picking up that woman's unconscious body.

The queen was disappointed to see her youngest daughter lose. But after what Minos had done, running away and then returning three levels stronger, this result was the most expected...

Adele couldn't do much more than she had done!

That way, she didn't blame her daughter. But she was still hopeful about Bridget's outcome, who could bring what she wished for in all this.

The genes of the talented Emperor Stuart to her family!

Minos nodded in appreciation just before he asked. "I would like to say goodbye to Harold. Is that possible?"

"Yes, do as you wish..."

Minos left that place under Bridget's watchful eye. At the same time, the same woman who had taken him to Harold previously waited for him to accompany her.

In the blink of an eye, he departed that area, leaving behind the many high-level cultivators of the Mcbride family eager for Minos' final challenge.

'Will he stand a chance against the Third Princess?' Ella, still standing there, wondered as she waited for Minos' rest hour to end.
