Suddenly the entire base started to become tumultuous, with alarm sounds blaring, while several of the guards in that place were already beginning to run around.

The gray barrier was now utterly visible, hiding the entire interior of that property, as it received the attacks sent by Minos.

At this point, the defensive array was fully operational, emitting a noise that could be heard as it burned several medium-grade crystals to maintain its operation!

...

While that place was becoming more tumultuous, Kevin was inches away from violating the poor captive Barbara as he held her arms behind her back, putting her in a vulnerable position in the bed.

Robin was lying next to Barbara while her buttocks were turned up, completely red from the lashes she had received from Kevin.

She was crying profusely as she asked in her most profound thoughts for something to stop what was about to happen.

As for Barbara, she had tears in her eyes as she tried to break free of Kevin, using every bit of strength she had left. However, it was challenging for her to do something against him since he was stronger than her...

And although Barbara and Robin had been allowed to cultivate before being brought into this room, they had both returned to using their old collar, which prevented them from using their strength.

Dual cultivation did not depend on cultivators being able to use their strengths but on having their bodies modified by spiritual energy. And for this to work, it was enough that the 'cauldrons' were full of energy.

And even if they could not use that energy, given the array around their necks sealing their respective cultivation, it would not hinder such action!

This was something that dual cultivators had discovered a long time ago when cauldrons were starting to be used widely. Before this, there was a certain ignorance about how to proceed with this practice.

Anyway, just as Kevin was about to rip off the last piece of clothing on Barbara's body, they heard the sounds of alarm from that place and the screams of some soldiers.

"Eh?" Realizing that something was wrong, Kevin, who was on top of Barbara, ready to cultivate, stopped halfway and looked at the window of that room with a look of doubt.

'Shit, what's going on? Who dared to launch an attack on my base?" He asked himself as he walked away from Barbara and went to that window to see the situation from the outside.

Meanwhile, Barbara quickly climbed out of the vulnerable position she had been in and went to hug with little Robin in the corner of that place, a little relieved that something had happened at just the right time.

...

Simultaneously, Jamie was still in his office reading up on information from the northern part of the Central Continent before the alarms went off on that property.

He was reading some inside information about the Chambers family, while his face was blank, thinking about that news. "Looks like Jeff got bad... Going to the Scourge of the Devil's headquarters for help was really stupid."

He then closed his eyes for a moment as he shook his head from side to side, as if in regret. "If you had changed your status within the family before the Spiritual Tournament, you would have discovered our relationship with the Scourges of the Devil... It's a shame it's too late now."

Jamie mourned the death of his old friend, Leroy's bodyguard. Jeff had thought he would get support from that organization of assassins, but all he found was death!

The Scourges of the Devil were close to the Chambers family. However, unfortunately for Jeff, only those Spiritual Kings and a few crucial family members knew about this matter...

And as he mourned his friend's death, Jamie finally heard the sounds of alarms ringing in that place, just as the riot started!

"What's going on?" He then got up from where he'd been sitting earlier, running fast to the porch of his living room.

Upon doing so, he immediately saw the gray barrier, fully activated, while several guards discussed with each other, trying to understand what was going on.

And watching the situation for a moment, he remembered the warning from earlier, already frowning as he muttered under his breath. "It's been an hour since the warning… Can't they be serious? Is there a Spiritual King on the other side?"

He could not believe the people chasing Kevin would attack this base without someone of that level. After all, attacking a base of any power whatsoever was like a declaration of war, which would only end after many fights and deaths.

Hence, Jamie did not believe that those people would attack this place without having a chance to defeat the forces of this place, collecting the item they wanted.

But not only that, destroying that barrier meant he would act against enemies, along with the guards of this place. After all, they were the protectors of this Chambers family's post!

With that, if they only had the strength to destroy that barrier, then death would be unavoidable.

At the thought of this possibility, Jamie felt a chill run down his spine as he jumped toward the outside of the building he was in, to the side of a guard who was near the entrance to the base.

"All of you, prepare to fight! We don't know the strength of the opposing group, but they are possibly strong enough to challenge us. You are allowed to kill. We can identify these people after they die!"

"Yea!" Several of them yelled just as Kevin descended the stairs of one of the buildings in that place, heading towards Jamie.

He had an unfriendly look on his face, wearing baggy trousers, and still used a red silk shirt while walking in that place.

"Uncle Jamie, what's going on?"

"It doesn't matter. I want you to listen to me now. Listen, if there is more than one Spiritual King on the other side, give up on the Spring of Life and escape with your bodyguard from this place as soon as possible. I will hold back the enemy forces if that happens."

"Two Spiritual Kings?" Kevin exclaimed in contradiction, thinking how unlikely that would be to happen. There were not many of them in the area, and most certainly knew what would happen if they invaded this place.

Then, Kevin doubted that such people, who had cultivated for so long, would make the foolish mistake of pissing off the Chambers family!

What was happening was probably due to the youth of most of those Kevin's persecutors, who still did not know how deep the Chambers family's roots were...

They might not be the strongest, but they had many ways to deal with people from this part of the continent.

...

Within less than ten minutes, the barrier had already lost half its thickness. It was becoming increasingly transparent, indicating that it was on the verge of collapsing!

The medium-grade crystals that supplied the defensive array of that location were scarce, and it could not absorb more energy from them than Minos was stealing from its.

With this, with each passing moment, the low-level grade-2 defensive array was getting closer and closer to exhaustion, which would allow the defenses of that area to be breached!

Minos was still standing at the same spot as before, while not even a single drop of sweat on his face. This time he had barely expended his energies to deplete the defensive array, only having used its own power to weaken it.

At the same time, the black ring with a radius of 100 meters rotated in the sky of that region, continually drawing spiritual power from that array.

Seeing that the barrier that had previously seemed impenetrable, gradually being weakened by a single person, the approximately 30 pursuers were all anxious for what would happen next.

There were several bodyguards at level 49 around here, so they thought they could hold the Spiritual King from that base while the rest would fight to take Kevin's item.

The large group of Minos gave them even more chances, as they could fight with fewer guards, allowing them to pursue their target!

Crack!

And in that instant, the barrier broke, completely exposing that area!
