The Rise of the Black Plain

Swooish!

In that initial instant of young Stuart's action, the spiritual array thrown by him stopped falling as it came under the spatial restriction of his technique.

Meanwhile, he quickly made a series of movements in the air as he wielded his red-bladed sword to strike in the direction of the spiritual beasts now under the influence of his technique and array.

'What will it be like to fall from this height?' This thought flashed through Minos' mind as his body made a parabolic trajectory in free fall, over a thousand feet above the ground.

But he was not worried about himself but somewhat interested in what would happen to his targets now prevented from escaping from this place using teleportation items.

Not only that, he was interested in testing such thoughts with these people!

Infinite Dream!

With that, his eyes began to shine brightly in rainbow colors as he targeted the enemy spiritual beasts, the weakest beings there.

"Thomas, too bad you can't fly, hehe..." He said that out loud, at the same time as the air blades sent out earlier went towards the backs of the now unconscious beasts.

And as they heard that, those people felt the spatial restriction of Minos' technique on their bodies, with only the Spiritual Emperors there being able to move.

As for the peak Spiritual Kings, they were all nervously feeling the terror of not being able to move their bodies.

Among them, King Brown was the most desperate.

'Shit!'

"What the fuck is that?"

"Is that this brat's thing?" The three Spiritual Emperors commented to each other, feeling that Minos was even worse than they had heard.

They had already heard from Thomas that Minos was much stronger than level 59 Spiritual Kings. But hell, one of them was at level 60, two of him at level 61!

There was a big difference between those levels and the strength of a mere regional peak cultivator!

As such, they could not help but be surprised at this moment, somewhat regretting not giving young Stuart more credit.

"That villain! It's not for nothing that the assassins I sent earlier never returned!" Clayton Silva said in hatred, not understanding why Minos was so strong.

However, as they felt the terror of facing Minos for the first time, they finally understood this young man's earlier words to Thomas.

At that instant, each of the people in Thomas' group looked down in shock as they realized their mounts were starting to fall.

"What?"

"What's happening?"

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Finally, most of those individuals began to fall uncontrollably, reaching higher and higher speeds. At the same time, the beasts under their feet moved away from them, falling even faster.

Meanwhile, the three Spiritual Emperors promptly began to float in the air, while one of them was already moving to reach the body of the desperate Thomas, who was already screaming desperately in fear.

"You think I'm going to allow that?" Minos muttered to himself as his Devouring Art began to circle those Spiritual Emperors, granting him even more energy.

Indestructible Body!

Spatial Sword!

Infinite Dream!

He activated these three techniques once again, now simultaneously, targeting the individuals who wanted to save Thomas' life.

Swooish!

A great blade of spiritual energy departed from his sword, slicing toward the middle of the path of those people and Thomas, while his mental technique targeted the closest one to that fellow.

"Bastard!"

"Is the rascal underestimating us? Or does he truly hate His Majesty this much?" One of the Brown family descendants shouted in doubt, shocked at how decisive Minos was in his attempt to eliminate Thomas Brown.

Instead of directly trying to eliminate the strongest people there, he simply targeted the mere level 59 Spiritual King?

That was astonishing to these people!

"Scumbag, if you want to do this, then let me take care of you!" Clayton said this while demonstrating his great murderous intent.

And while the weakest of those Spiritual Emperors was fighting at a disadvantage against Minos' mental technique, Maida and Abby finally made their first move in this battle.

Neither of them was strong enough to fight side by side with Minos, but they had their ways of helping him!

Considering this, as the third Spiritual Emperor in that area used a technique in an attempt to 'catch' Thomas' falling body, suddenly, several mirrors began to appear in the middle of his path.

Crack!

And then, as the spinning mirrors of young Abby's defensive technique became more and more noticeable, the clash between such a thing and the enemy technique finally happened.

"What?"

"What a solid defense!" The level 61 Spiritual Emperor said aloud, shocked by this surprise.

But since the difference in cultivation between him and Abby was simply too great, and this woman did not have a skill that increased her natural reserves of spiritual energies, nor something that sucked out the energies of her enemies, her technique did not hold up for long.

Boom!

Her mirrors exploded into endless pieces, but Abby's movement had already been more than enough to disrupt that Spiritual Emperor.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" King Brown felt the friction with the gases around him become more and more significant as his speed reached near the limit.

However, even if his falling speed was no longer increasing, he was getting further away from the three Spiritual Emperors.

'Damn it!'

'Damn it!'

'If I fall from this height, I'm finished!' He trembled with fear as he ran one of his hands through the teleportation array.

However, in trying to use such a thing, Thomas could not activate it, as he was still inside the space affected by the space stabilization array used by Minos.

That array was still falling at about the same height as the falling spiritual beasts. However, as much as the distance between Thomas and such an artifact was increasing, that still had not been enough for him to leave the space of influence of that thing!

Consequently, he was at a loss as to what to do at this point.

'Think! Think!'

'Maybe I should try to increase my friction with the air?' He finally thought of something, promptly searching through his spatial ring, looking for something useful.

...

Meanwhile, Abby's mirrors again appeared in that area, this time protecting the young Stuart simultaneously with Maida's rescue movement.

After seeing that young man leaping into the air, Abby had promptly ordered that beast to do everything possible to get Minos back.

And while Maida had made such a move, the blue-haired woman used her technique twice, disrupting both of the level 61 Spiritual Emperors.

"Hehe, you two have acted very well!" Minos briefly commented as he quickly moved up that beast while feeling Maida's saliva around his clothes.

He then stood on her back and prepared to continue fighting those two Spiritual Emperors.

As for the third individual, that one, to his own misfortune, had lost the mental battle against Minos and was falling unconscious at this very moment.

"Bastard!"

"That's unforgivable!"

"Minos!" Clayton shouted in hatred, realizing that Thomas was already almost out of their reach.

However, as he lamented the terrible situation he had put himself in, Minos did not even look at him and promptly launched an attack against Thomas.

Swooish!

"Humph!"

"Let's see how you guys will save him now!"

"Damn!"

"Ah! If I don't kill you today, my name won't be Max Brown!" The Brown family member exclaimed with all the strength of his being as he saw that it no longer made any difference to him to try to save Thomas.

He was no faster than Minos' technique, and even his attacks would be useless, as Abby was at his enemy's side, ready to create mirrors to shield her man's attack.

With that in mind, all that was left for him to do was to pray that Thomas would survive the fall and Minos' attack while he dealt with young Stuart.

"Max, I will stop the defensive technique of this traitorous little bitch, and you deal with this bastard!" Clayton said in a determined tone, confident that they could win this fight.

After all, unlike Minos and Abby, who depended on Maida to fly over the area, they could do this without the aid of a beast or outside items!

So, they continued their fight.
