When Minos manipulated the space in his vicinity and then appeared near the tunnel leading out of this place, those three realized his previous words were indeed true.

He wanted nothing against them; he was just after his goal and would leave once he obtained it.

"Is he really speaking the truth?" The level 90 woman questioned as she felt the people in her surroundings becoming less crazed.

As Minos moved away from the area, the Dark Sea lost its influence over the many people in this village, making the Demigods' job easier and preventing them from spilling the blood of their family members.

The patriarch of this family then made his final move against Minos' meteors, destroying them so that none of them could victimize his family members in the surrounding area.

He shouted. "It doesn't matter if he had no evil intentions. He attacked us and invaded our headquarters. Now it's time for us to take action against him!"

The other man finished checking the people in the surroundings and made sure they were okay before flying toward Minos.

"Come on. The damned thing at least owes us some answers!" He shouted, knowing that now they would no longer have to worry about their people and could act freely against Minos.

Hearing her companions, that woman finally moved on, leaving behind the inhabitants of that village who were now extremely confused by everything that had happened.

Fortunately, no one was killed. Only a few buildings had been damaged by Minos' technique.

...

After quickly flying to the exit from inside that mountain, Lothur saw Starclaw entertaining her opponents on the outskirts.

"Let's get going. I've finished what I had to do here!" He shouted, indicating for that creature not to delay.

Amidst his warning, Minos' level decreased to level 81, causing him to lose much of his speed.

"Shit!"

Starclaw saw that but didn't stay to wait it out. She immediately flew out of that place, always looking back.

"Minos, hurry! They'll catch up with you!" She shouted as she saw the three demigods appearing behind him.

"Miserable! Now we've got you!" One of the three shouted, seeing that Minos was getting slower.

Minos frowned and finally used his hostages, hurling them so hard against the surroundings that if these Demigods did nothing, they would die.

"Aaaaagh!"

One of them screamed in terror, but upon feeling the gentle energy of one of his elders, he sighed and stopped screaming.

"You won't get far, trespasser!" The patriarch shouted as he saw Minos finally leaving the cave that led into the interior of that mountain.

Minos was practically within reach, so he was confident of finally capturing this daring young man.

Minos made an ugly expression as he noticed that person's proximity to him. Still, at the crucial moment, he saw the item left by Henricus Longus' relatives at the entrance of that place.

When he noticed it, he saw the light at the end of the tunnel and immediately shot some of his energy in the direction of that item with the word 'protection' written on it.

Instantly after Minos' shot, that item glowed brightly, emitting strong spiritual fluctuations.

Then, as Starclaw looked back apprehensively, she saw a huge barrier forming between the place where the secret base they had invaded was and the lake.

Minos was only half a meter away from where this barrier had formed, outside the protected area of the barrier.

On the other hand, the three Demigods were still inside that protected area!

When they realized that, none of the three could stop in time, and they all crashed into that high-level grade-4 barrier.

"Aaaagh!"

All three shouted at the same time as Minos stopped in front of him, floating just ahead of that barrier.

By now, his cultivation had returned to level 80, and he was breathing agitatedly, having used a lot of his skills in the last few moments.

He now felt exhausted, noticing the sweat on his body and the fatigue of acting against so many powerful enemies.

At the same time, as he stepped out of danger, he couldn't help but stop and sigh.

"You guys almost got me, haha." He laughed right before those people, thanking the heavens for that item left by the Longus family.

In the generation that had left this place, there were people committed to leaving things in this place to help the chosen one not only locate them but even get valuable things for themselves.

If the family were to disappear into the Divine Continent, then it would be essential that something of theirs was left behind to at least contribute positively to the chosen one's journey.

So even though there were valuable things in this place that could have been transported to that other continent, they had been left behind in this place.

Not just anyone could use these artifacts to their fullest. Only those who had Henricos Longus's lineage or the mark he left could do it.

Minos had such a mark on his Spatial Kingdom ring, so he could activate and connect to what that man had left!

'Good thing I saw that thing...' He looked in the direction of the painting with the word 'protection' on it and thanked them once again.

Meanwhile, the three Demigods floated right before him, separated only by that barrier.

"Damned bastard!"

"Release us!"

They shouted as they glared furiously at Minos.

Luckily that barrier didn't stop sound waves from coming through it.

Minos laughed upon hearing that and said. "That would be stupid of me.

But don't worry, this barrier needs to be reactivated every 24 hours, so in one day, it will deactivate, and you will again have access to the outside world."

Barriers like this served to protect, but precisely because of this, they had no openings for people inside them to easily leave the protected area.

Just as they protected, they also trapped those within such an area!

"Invader! Come back here!" The patriarch called out to Minos, seeing him turn and slowly depart.

"Farewell, my friends. We may never see each other again." Minos waved one of his hands, smiling. "If we see each other again, we will certainly remember this battle.

It was fun, I'd say.

Anyway, good luck on your journey!"

After those words, Minos disappeared in front of those people, as they shook with anger at his arrogance, hitting that barrier but not even managing to make it shake.

"That was a close one..." Starclaw sighed as he saw Minos coming up beside him.

"Hmm, forget about it. Let's go back. Now we'll go to my territory, Starclaw."

"Oh?"

"We'll go to the Divine Continent. Then we'll pass through the Black Plain Empire."
