The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-242

Simultaneously with Minos' action against Kevin, the various captives fleeing had finally exited the building they were in, precisely in range of the young Stuart's techniques.

Shortly after almost all of them appeared at that point, they all stopped under the effects of the Spatial Sword, including the two women who were full of energy.

Most of these people were much weaker than Minos, and with the fact that the Devourer Art was supplying the Spatial Sword's consumption, none of these captives could ignore the restrictive effects of this last technique!

'Why can't I move?' Joey wondered inwardly as beads of cold sweat began to trickle down this old man's forehead.

This was the worst that could happen to them!

These poor captives had just found a light at the end of the tunnel, but when they tried to take advantage of this chance, they fell into this situation...

'Damn it! All these people who are in this place fighting can see us! We're finished!' Another one thought, already teary-eyed with disappointment at not being able to escape.

'Was this an enemy trap? Let us have a glimmer of hope and then rip it all out of us again? But how cruel!'

'I knew it. It was too good to be true! And me, this fool here believing he could get away! Hahaha, what an idiot I am!'

While several of the captives had several thoughts, Peter was shocked at what was happening, but for different reasons than those other people.

In addition to remembering the effects of Minos' technique, Peter could clearly see the giant ring in the sky, stealing the spiritual energies of the people in that area.

Obviously, there was no energy to be stolen from these captives with Peter. However, they were still under the effects of young Stuart's Spatial Sword.

"Is Minos here?" He wondered dubiously. He honestly did not expect to be rescued by the Black Plain Army. He even knew the guidelines of this force, but he did not count on it happening so fast!

And he quickly identified Minos, realizing that the man standing between the two youths, Kevin and Vivian, was the only one in the center of the rotating ring in the sky.

'There he is!'

...

Across the battlefield, Abby and Eda had already finished off all the guards who had tried to fight them before, as well as those few who had tried to flee this base.

Both watched from afar the battle Minos had had with Jamie and were now watching that end of the invasion, as the young Stuart seemed intent on getting things over.

But even though they had accompanied Minos on other occasions, the two of them could not help but be impressed by this young man's prowess. To have struggled so hard with a Spiritual King and now affect so many cultivators using just two techniques, that was really amazing to see!

"Impressive, even with so little spiritual energy left, it's still enough for him to deal with those people!" Eda commented in a low voice as she stayed behind Abby.

"Hmm, but what about that fox? Where did it come from?" Abby brought an even more relevant point. It looked like that fox was allied with Minos, but at no time had this girl and her bodyguard felt any spiritual beast chasing them...

"Did she chase us out of reach of our spiritual probe?" Abby wondered one last time before putting this subject aside and turning her attention back to where Minos stood.

...

And at that moment, Vivian was entirely motionless, in the same place as before, watching Kevin's spiritual weapon just inches from her chest.

She did not understand what was happening, but she was grateful that she had not been knocked down by this blow, even though she could not even move a finger from her body.

On the other hand, Kevin felt a feeling of despair rising in his heart while his spine was sweating coldly. Unlike Vivian, the young master of the Chambers family was seeing Minos standing there between them, looking steadily at him.

Kevin could not help but remember that this man had been fighting the Spiritual King of this base for a little while, but now he suddenly appeared here.

The young master of the Chambers family then lamented, understanding what had happened. "Damn, Jamie ended up dying too soon!"

Kevin wanted to use his enemies to fight each other, so he would have a chance to escape. As long as Jamie managed to hold Minos and that fox for a few more minutes, this young man was certain he could carry out this plan and escape this place alive.

But fate was cruel, and things rarely went as planned...

Minos then used a high-level grade-1 sword to take out Kevin's weapon, making it fly in the opposite direction of the movement he had made.

After that, the Spatial Sword technique stopped working, when finally, all those who had been restricted could regain their movements.

"Ahhh!"

After that, Minos quickly overpowered Kevin, making him lie down on the ground. In doing so, the young Stuart suddenly took a dagger from his spatial ring. He then cut off his enemy's spiritual gland without even a second thought.

"No!"

At that point, all fighting ceased when the people of that area witnessed Minos destroy this young man's cultivation in a matter of seconds, rendering the entire area silent except for Kevin's laments.

In addition, the sounds of swallowing could be heard there amidst the light wind characteristic of the nights in this region.

'He crippled Kevin!' Several of them thought about it.

But before anyone could say anything and break the momentary silence, Minos finally began to speak. "You're Kevin Chambers, huh... Originally I wouldn't have bothered with a worm similar to you. Still, by defying me and enslaving one of my subordinates, you've assured yourself of this horrible fate."

He then looked at the various slaves who were still standing in front of that building and saw Peter among them. This young man did not look good, but he was whole. Minos could see that no limbs had been amputated, just as he could sense that his Sergeant retained the ability to manipulate spiritual energy.

He then passed the look of other people in that place and said. "People like this worm that is now at my feet are the cause of slavery in our world. You can blame the pirates and thugs who kidnapped you, but it's the scums like Kevin who sustains this system."

Minos stopped to breathe for a moment and then said. "Those of you who are willing, I will allow you to do what you want with this person. Today I will ensure your justice against him!"

When those people heard this, they were still recovering from what had just occurred when one of those now-former slaves, a middle-aged man, began running toward Kevin, already holding a large chunk of stone in his right hand.

"Miserable, because of you, I lost my whole family!" He screamed in a fury.

And it was not long before others joined that man, as the young Stuart finally made room for them to beat the helpless Kevin...

"You worm, do you know how much your subordinates have tortured me? Now it's your turn to feel the pain of being skinned!"

...

"Your family destroyed my old city! Now I can finally ease the hatred in my heart!"

...

"Ahhh! Help me!"

...

"Help! Please mercy!"

After a few seconds of being brutally beaten, Kevin was already screaming in pain while crying and asking for mercy, looking towards Minos. He knew that none of these people would forgive him, then it was just up to him to appeal to the only one who could stop this situation...

But Minos did not give a damn about Kevin.

He felt a profound contempt for people like Leroy, who used their strength and influence to oppress the weakest and most vulnerable in society. And, ultimately, Kevin was an enemy who must die so that the Black Plain Army could prosper and begin its notoriety in the Spiritual World.

It might take time, but the day when every person in this world would have to respect or tremble with fear of this organization would come!
