Chapter 2469 The Limit of Minos
When he saw his blade stopped after cutting only 6 centimeters into his opponent's arm, and then purple spots appeared on the blade of his supreme weapon, he frowned in concern.
"It looks like I'm going to have to expose everything I have today..."
Minos' eyes turned orange as flames of the same color shot out from all over his body, covering his supreme weapon.
His silver-gold wings changed, glowing brightly before moving and attacking that part of the enemy's body. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Swooish!
"Aaagh!"
A muffled cry of pain rose from the creature's throat as it felt its corrupted parts being degraded by the golden, disintegrating light of Minos' wings, while those wings penetrated it far more than the Divine Sword.
In a single instant, Minos saw the increasingly purple blade of his supreme weapon reverse the degradation caused by his enemy, while a scalding orange glow covered the blade.
His weapon sank in more easily until it completely severed the enemy's arm, making the level 112 being realize it would not be easy to kill him.
Minos was much stronger now. With a temporary cultivation at level 107, but with a base as strong as that of a high-level 11th-stage being, this human could fully defend himself and even putting the enemy in danger.
At first, this creature was terrified, because after decades of wandering the continent in search of Minos, he hadn't expected to find his enemy so much stronger.
But it wasn't just Minos' cultivation and abilities that had grown and strengthened over the years!
Attempting a surprise attack, Minos' enemy saw the young man move just before he was hit by a poisonous sting.
Jumping back, Minos counter-attacked the enemy, using the Dark Sea to manipulate the enemy's mind along with the Infinite Dream.
The creature found himself in an orange inferno of flames; the sunlight burning his skin and the environment draining his strength.
He lasted only five seconds, however, before he found himself back where his actual body was, with Minos cutting off his second leg.
"You wretch! I'll kill you!" the creature shouted as he fought back desperately, causing several macabre insects to emerge from the shadows around the corrupted ground and lead them towards Minos.
"Devour him!"
More and more insects appeared, and Minos defended himself, destroying these creatures with his divine flames, sword attacks, and the light emanating from his wings, capable of disintegrating anything that came near him.
But with hundreds and hundreds of creatures surrounding him for a moment, he temporarily lost sight of the enemy as he seemed to be thrown into a world of insects.
"Disgusting wretch!" Minos commented as he used his glowing eyes to see through the creatures that were attacking him with ferocity.
Feeling his energy dwindling, threatening to make him leave level 107 to temporarily stay at level 106, Minos changed his strategy and took a step back.
The moment he stepped back, a gleam appeared in his enemy's eyes. The creature switched places with one of his insects and suddenly appeared behind Minos.
'It's now or never.' Minos thought to himself as he allowed himself to be attacked in order to have the opportunity for a direct counterattack.
As one of the enemy's arms wrapped around one of his legs, all of his companions looked at him with concern, while his opponent felt he could finally kill Minos.
"You underestimated me." Minos muttered as he felt a tremendous pain in that leg, but with no purple spots spreading from where he was touched.
The enemy's eyes widened, but by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. Minos glowed like a star, and the flames quickly spread all over the enemy's body. A golden dragon left Minos' body and wrapped itself around the already mentally and physically wounded body.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
He screamed in agony, struggling as he was held by Minos and the golden dragon while his body burned and the darkness of his essence was gradually erased.
"Now!" Minos shouted to his staff, finally seeing the moment for them to enter the fray and finish the enemy.
For the first time in a long time, he couldn't see himself killing this opponent alone. Sure, he could fight, weaken the enemy, and protect himself. But killing was something he really couldn't do right now.
However, he was not alone. The moment he gave the signal to his staff, the strongest ones moved to attack different parts of the opponent's body, while his wives acted to support Minos.
Abby used her divine ability against the creature, causing it to look at her with fear, even in desperation, seeing someone capable of tampering with the dead part of itself.
But being attacked by more than a dozen enemies, it could only continue to scream and struggle, with Lily using her flames to aggravate the enemy's burns, and Hollie and Kendrick using their similar powers to destroy parts of the enemy's body.
Callie froze nearly 20% of the enemy's body, while the robot sliced off the remaining arms and legs until the level 112 Sovereign could no longer fight.
After four minutes of working together, the group watched as Minos' flames finished devouring the creature's darkness, as its life signs diminished until they disappeared completely.
Minos felt his cultivation return to level 104, and his body ached in various places, especially his right leg and his mental part.
But even though he was wounded and exhausted, he was still standing when he let go of part of the enemy's body and signaled to the group that they had succeeded in killing the powerful opponent.
"He was very strong." Said the level 107 robot as parts of his metallic body recovered from the attacks the enemy had tried to make while being pressed by all of them a moment ago.
"That was the black liquid." Minos sighed as he sat down on the floor. "There are surely level 112 Sovereigns as strong as he was. But the black liquid changed him into something even more terrifying. If it hadn't been for that, I could have defeated him on my own."
"Why was he after you?" Kendrick sat down beside his father.
"Revenge. A creature in that state is not rational at all. As much as he could talk, he was only driven by his hatred for the one who put him in that state: me." Minos replied, taking a deep breath. "Anyway, don't worry, it means nothing. It was just an attempt at revenge. Let's get some rest before we hit the road again."
