The Rise of the Black Plain
-
chapter-2591
Feeling the aura of three Supremes probing them, the two Generals broke out in a cold sweat, both of them already directing their energies toward their parasites.
Minos directed the black liquid at the level 114 corpse, who was already leaving the black urn.
Minos did not bother to hide what he was doing, while a malevolent sensation spread through the area in front of the majestic red tower, causing nearby plants to wither just by being near the substance.
The men closest to the building's entrance, mostly low and mid-level Sovereigns, paled as they dropped whatever they were thinking or doing and turned their attention to this strange trio.
"It can't be...""Enemies!"
A few reacted just before the corpse of Minos opened his eyes, a wicked smile forming on his pale lips.
"I'll kill as many of them as I can for you, Minos. I just can't guarantee that I won't go for your neck as well." The creature's voice sounded like sharp blades, its macabre laugh like the voice of death itself.
These words were enough for some people to understand what this sudden action of the trio meant, to understand their origin.
The black liquid entered the corpse in the amount that Minos and his companions deemed necessary to elevate the creature to the next stage, instantly causing changes in the creature's body.
Its body parts increased in size, while the darkness of its soul intensified. As its vitality skyrocketed, its Sovereign energy broke through its limits and exploded so suddenly that some formations in the area stopped working because of the interference.
Minos and his two companions didn't hesitate to retreat, watching for enemy attacks, but also for changes in the corpse close to them.Before they reached a distance of 100 meters from the creature that threatened to stabilize their cultivation at level 115, the three Supremes of this sect appeared around it.
Two were newly promoted level 115 Supremes, and one of them, the sect leader, was already a consolidated level 116 cultivator.
The three spotted Minos and the two Generals. They had no trouble understanding the origin of the enemies, but they were much more focused on the strange creature in front of them.
Minos' undead didn't look like a simple corpse, but it didn't resemble an ordinary living being either. His vitality was certainly comparable to that of a living being, and now he could stay in his form for as long as an ordinary human, able to live for a century.
For a cultivator, that wasn't much, but for a being that had been resurrected by a divine ability, it was an especially remarkable feat!
However, the creature's brutal gaze and instinctive, unrefined movements showed its low rationality and chaotic character.
This was not a cultivator to converse with, but a killing machine, a brutal killer driven by a deep lust for blood.
The three realized the creature was not under the control of Minos and the others, a terrible sign.
If even his creators couldn't control him, what fate would befall this sect, where the horrible creature was now slowly moving and looking at the people there thirstily?
"Officer Minos Stuart, I presume. We've heard of you," the sect leader said as he looked at the white-haired human with level 109 cultivation. "I didn't know that you were also involved in necromancy. Now you seem to be a complete abomination."
Minos didn't bother to argue with his enemy. While the corpse had already stabilized his cultivation at level 115 and was losing what little rationality he had left, Minos continued to walk away.
They knew that the members of the sect were watching them, and more and more of them were gathering around the entrance to the Judgement Tower. However, Minos didn't use any of the enemies to increase his cultivation.
This was obviously a sign that the higher-ups there hadn't missed.
As they looked at each other and felt Minos' silence weighing on them, the three of them felt the problem.
'Shit! Let's deal with this quickly, or we could be in trouble.' They mentally exchanged their thoughts.
'Leshe, take care of these three. Didhi and I will take care of this disgusting creature.' The sect leader positioned himself to fight directly against the level 115 corpse that attacked him and his companions.
Minos saw this and continued to back away slowly and carefully. He dodged the enemy movements already coming towards him, defending himself if necessary.
Besides their thirst for blood, the corpses affected by the black liquid have another interesting characteristic. They temporarily ignore the weak in their path and focus everything they have on the strongest.
By devouring enemy corpses, they can strengthen themselves. The stronger the corpse they devour, the greater their improvement.
Minos looked in the direction of the two strongest Supremes moving together, while the third moved away, heading towards the trio already fighting their way out.
The characteristic of the corpses revived by Abby and strengthened by the black liquid was a double-edged sword in the current situation. On the one hand, it could be used against the three enemy Sovereigns, but on the other, it could also be used against these companions of Minos.
One of the two Sovereigns on Minos' side did not hesitate any longer and sacrificed his parasite, the only way for the three of them to get out of this place alive.
Minos observed the beginning of the battle, ignoring his ally who had crossed the barrier between the 11th and 12th stages, only to see the corpse he fed quickly gain the upper hand in the fight against two Supremes!
Even though he didn't act rationally and wasted some of his power, the corpse immediately showed signs of surpassing the strength of his opponents!
'Don't use too much of your power against this Supreme. He'll join his allies in a few moments,' Minos said in the mind of his companion, now at level 117.
'Prepare to defend us from the corpse's remaining attacks. He'll pay attention to us once these three are out of fighting condition!'
Thus began the end of one of Armhands' greatest enemies today!
