The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2606

As much as the General was afraid of the results of Minos' mission today, he changed his mind in just five minutes of battle.

Just as his level began to lose the bonus Minos had given him, leaving him with only the promised 10%, the General saw the site of the enemy banquet, marked by blood, remains, corpses fighting in their name, and many Zocarro natives seriously wounded.

Of the 175 peak Sovereigns in the area at the time of their arrival, only 12 were alive now, 67 with their bodies destroyed and the rest standing under Abby's powers.

However, in contrast to the corpses that were baptized by the black liquid, those who were only revived by Abby's divine ability had a short lifespan.

Many of them were already falling apart, disappearing from the world after taking a few more lives from their own organization.

But that didn't matter. They had done their part, and Abby already had enough bodies in Minos' spatial ring to use in the future.

Abby and Ruth felt their cultivations almost return to their current normal, though a little stronger than before.

As they felt the effects of the permanent power boost from Minos' ability, they relaxed a bit, as over 80% of the enemies were dead.

The effect of increasing one's cultivation with the strength of others was stronger on the user of the ability than on the others they helped. As a result, even though his companions had returned to normal, Minos' level was still changing, and he was currently at the peak of level 112.

With just a handful of formidable adversaries to keep him alert, and a multitude of weary or wounded individuals with limited capacity to pose a threat, Minos effectively employed the powers of the Dark Sea and Infinite Dream to overcome over fifty percent of the remaining enemies.

Upon returning to his human form, Minos saw the small group of remaining enemies standing and looking at him in horror, mentally destroyed despite being physically whole.

"Who are you?" One of the remaining level 114 men asked.

"Minos Stuart, General of the Armhands," Minos said as his six wings crawled, emitting a golden glow that was hard to ignore.

Despite everything, Minos was drenched in sweat, with dirt and bloodstains on his armor, but he also felt a slight pain here and there.

He had received many blows from the enemy in the course of the fight, which had lasted just over five minutes.

"I see. The monster that helped create the Supreme corpses," the individual said as he moved his weapon to kill himself.

The corpses of Abby and Minos had become famous in central part of Oqia.

But before this level 114 individual killed himself, Minos moved one of his fingers, causing this individual's body to be paralyzed under the light of the seraphim's wings, but also under the light of Chaotic Gravity.

"You and your companions have an important mission to complete before you die. So have a little patience. This is not the time for you to fall." Minos make each of the survivors on the battlefield shudder to see that they couldn't even choose death.

Some of them looked in the direction of the blue-haired human and sighed. Even if they died, they wouldn't be able to escape Abby.

Even if the sacrifice could destroy the possibility of being used after death, with Minos around, they wouldn't be able to do it.

So they lost this battle in every way and fell to their knees under the bodies and blood of their allies, friends, bosses, and subordinates.

Minos closed his eyes as he watched this scene, breathing deeply, not bothered by the stench of the battlefield. After so many wars and massacres in his life, he was familiar with the smell of death.

He focused on his own being for a moment, analyzing the 1% permanent improvement he had gained in this battle.

'It looks like my foundation is completely stable. It remains for me to analyze the situation of the others and how similar improvements affect the long-term stability of our foundations.'

He opened his eyes and looked at his three allies. "General, did you give the warning to our allies to advance?"

"Yes. My troops are moving to attack the nearby front with force. In a few hours they will reach our position to take the Monastery of Chaos," said the man from the level 114.

Days, even hours ago, he thought he would use these men as sacrifices to ensure the group's escape. But now, those men could bask in the glory of winning and taking over enemy territory, guaranteeing a victory for the guild and the alliance!

But he wasn't thinking about that right now. Although he had already activated the device that would give the order for Maximillian's party to move, he was more concerned with the 10% upgrade Minos had given him.

"How do you feel about your advance?" Minos asked.

"I feel full... It's as if I've taken a pill to advance quickly. I'm sure I can control this feeling if I cultivate for a few months, but it doesn't seem to be such a stable improvement, although it's useful if used in moderation," the General said sincerely.

"I see. What about you?" Minos asked his wives.

"For me, the situation differs from for the General. I feel quite stable, though stronger. It's as if I made this progress with just regular cultivation," Abby said.

"Me too." Ruth agreed with her harem sister.

Minos pondered for a moment and said, "let's settle down in the Monastery of Chaos. I want the three of you to cultivate for two days. After that, we'll do another round of strengthening with our live guinea pigs."

They looked in the direction of the people who had been defeated by the Dark Sea, the Infinite Dream, and Minos' oppression.

Minos finished his speech, "General, next time I won't give you such a considerable lead. I'll try to give you a 5% advance, while maintaining a 1% advance for my women. I want to know if this will destabilize their improvements and if you can achieve a stable improvement. We'll keep trying until we find the ideal formula."

The General didn't disagree, as he could get stronger quickly with Minos' help and was willing to do so even if it destabilized his foundation a bit. As long as they didn't overdo it, and Minos didn't seem to want that, he was fine with such experiments.

With that decided, the three of them soon began to meditate, while the remaining corpses in the area slowly decomposed as they reached their limits.

Minos felt his cultivation return to level 110 and organized things at the Monastery of Chaos.
