The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-833

After hearing the elderly but energetic voice of one of the people who had suddenly appeared on the outskirts, Minos looked carefully in that direction, trying to identify the enemies.

Besides King Brown, who had not yet said anything and looked apprehensively at Minos, three other people were there in that group.

One of them was the supreme elder of the Brown family, who Minos had already met during his battles around the Black Plain.

As for the other two, Minos only recognized one of them.

'King Cromwell?' He wondered as he connected the face and voice from before to the person he had seen during the final of the Spiritual Tournament.

And it did not take Minos long to realize that it was indeed such a person, just as the enemies entered within the space that his spiritual sense could reach.

With that, sensing the level 59 of that opponent, there was no longer any doubt left in Minos' heart.

But still, he did not recognize the second level 58 Spiritual King who stood beside those three men.

"Tsk!"

'Never mind...' He soon dropped the matter of the identity of that fourth individual and then looked in the direction of those two kings. 'It seems that was this that gave King Brown confidence?'

'It would be better if you simply waited for help from the other royal families before doing such a thing...'

'Or is he counting on his spatial device to escape from here when things get ugly?'

Minos knew that if the enemy wanted to escape via teleportation devices, they could merely wipe out the interference array and then use their escape items.

Hence, he did not exclude the possibility of the enemy escaping, just as Thomas had done a few times in the past.

"Tsk!"

"King Brown, you shouldn't keep using spatial devices like that... Don't you think that's wasteful?" He asked aloud, watching for those people while he had a smile on his face.

"At this rate, your family will go broke!"

"Be careful. That's not good for any of us!"

"If you lose everything you have, what will your descendants hand me when they come to surrender to me?" Minos joked, already with his swords in his hands.

"What arrogance!" The man whom Minos did not know angrily shouted this, feeling a sudden desire to teach that young man a lesson.

On the other hand, the other three individuals around were all looking carefully at Minos, totally focused on this young man's movements.

James Cromwell then said. "Brat, you truly talk big..."

"You don't even look like that level 39 young man who fought in front of me!"

"But even if you are impressive and have the balls to talk that way in our presence, it all ends today!" He said with a strong desire to kill.

"Yes! King Cromwell is right, Thomas!" Supreme Elder Brown said this as he looked at his nephew significantly. "We must finish him off now that we have the opportunity!"

"That brat will only get stronger as time goes on... And if we can't eliminate him before his next advance, I'm afraid that even if we take the entire Black Plain, he will still escape!"

But Thomas knew that perfectly well. "You don't have to tell me..."

This man did not think he would have much chance of winning today's fight, at least not without huge costs. But since they were here, they would at least try to kill Minos!

With that, they were all in agreement, getting ready for the fight to begin.

"Brat Stuart, you will not be able to escape my hands today!" Thomas said in the direction of his enemy while making a signal similar to the attack he had narrowly missed in that Dry City confrontation.

"Hehehehehhe..." Minos laughed upon hearing that. "You guys think just because you 'trapped' me here that you have the advantage?"

Minos was obviously not trapped in this area under the effects of that array from before. He could even feel the restriction on his body, but if he tried to use the Spatial Kingdom ring, escaping from here would be as easy as taking candy from a child!

But there was no need for him to let his opponents know that, so he had said so.

On the other hand, Minos was where he wanted to be, and he did not feel as threatened as those people thought he would be right now.

Hence, even though he could leave this place whenever he wanted, he had no intention of doing that today.

Besides, it would not be interesting for him to give these people more reasons to fear him!

The opposite of that, it would be much better for him and the Black Plain if they thought the spatial interference array was effective against him!

"Tsk!"

"Don't be arrogant, kid!"

"There are four of us, and we are many levels above yours. So, how do you expect to fight us with only the energy reserves of a mere level 52 cultivator?" That strange person inquired, mentioning this aspect of their plan, which included not bringing 'batteries' to young Stuart.

"Humph!"

"Don't waste your time with that demon, Terry!" King Cromwell said to the highest-ranking general of the Cromwell Kingdom's royal guard.

But, as they talked among themselves, Minos laughed at that general's comment. "Hehehe, all right then..."

"Is that all you guys had to talk about?" He asked, looking at those four as his eyes narrowed, "Are you guys prepared to die?"

Upon hearing Minos' unkind words, those four suddenly put all their focus on their opponent, already circulating their energies.

They honestly thought they might have some chances here. But that does not mean that they were foolish to think that they could beat Minos easily.

The opposite of that, they knew, that even if they managed to injure Minos, it would already be at the expense of a very high-level battle.

As for killing him, well, one or more of them might even die for that to happen!

And being aware of that, none of them would underestimate Minos' power just because of the absence of the 'batteries' he usually used to his advantage.

'It seems that it is finally time for this technique to kill an expert of an even higher level...' Minos thought about this calmly as he directed his energies to his eyes, preparing to act.

Infinite Dream!

And he was quick to make his move.

Almost instantly, as a large black ring appeared in his surroundings and began to suck in the spiritual energy of those four and the previous array, Minos' eyes flashed brightly. Immediately afterward, they shot out a powerful ray of spiritual energy!

"No!" One of them unconsciously shouted as he perceived a mental attack with the full power of a level 59 Spiritual King coming towards him.

'No! No!' General Terry began to despair, realizing that he would not even be able to make a single move in this fight.

But while this man was filled with terror, the other three were in shock. They realized that Minos' level increase had improved his combat proficiency far above what they had expected.

'How can that be?' One of them wondered as his eyes went wide, as he already felt the spatial restrictions on his body caused by one of Minos' techniques.

'That bastard!'

'His ability to steal energy from his targets has increased tremendously from one level to the next!' King Brown thought about it in amazement, feeling that there would be no match for Minos.

He had never fought young Stuart since that enemy's advance to level 52. And as much as this king had listened to one of his generals' account of Minos' strength, that individual had not been able to see the full strength of the Black Plains ruler.

Because of this, Thomas had underestimated Minos' advance!

And while those three felt as if they had woken up from a nightmare, General Terry fell face down on the ground, already dead!

But Minos was not satisfied with this. As he felt the energy of his opponents becoming at his disposal, he soon began to dance with his sword, launching powerful attacks in the direction of those three.

"You guys were right..."

"All that ends now!"

Swooish!

"Damn it!" At the same time, the three screamed just as they felt their bodies much slower, and those blades of energy coming towards them were as strong as level 59 Spiritual Kings' attacks!
