Chapter 71: The Tragic End of Gul
Chapter 71: The Tragic End of Gul
After hearing Minos’ provocation, Ruth went out towards the town mansion, with her face completely red. ‘You rascal!’ She thought to herself.
At the same time, Elen and Eduard stopped to congratulate Minos on his group’s victory. It was indeed an outstanding achievement that the soldiers of Minos had conquered, killing even level 45 cultivators!
“Mr. Minos, since the matter in the Yellow City has already been resolved, Eduard and I will return to the Stone Island today.”
“Oh! So, are you already going? Okay, I hope you have a good trip back, and in just over a month, our first dispatch will arrive at that base that we are building on the coast.” Minos said.
“Hmm, I will make the necessary arrangements for the transportation to be done at that time.”
After that, it didn’t take long, and Elen and her bodyguard left the Yellow City, going to the Maritime City, where they would return to the Stone Island. At the same time, Minos’ group returned to the local government mansion, spending the next few days until the fox, Emlyn, recovered.
After the events that took place at the eastern entrance to the city, the population of the Yellow City was discussing the achievements of the Minos group once again. The group of bandits who had been controlling their town for several months had finally been destroyed!
Because of this, many of the people who were skeptical about this group of individuals were just beginning to get a glimpse of hope.
This battle was not enough to confirm that the Dry City rumor was hiring, but it lifted the weight of thousands of citizens from this place. The problem was that that group of bandits did not mind running the city. They charged high taxes, they robbed the merchants who passed by, and some were still quite violent.
For all these reasons, to be sure that this group of bandits was finished was a relief for the inhabitants of this place.
At this time, a group of people was celebrating the news while eating and drinking in a city bar. “Hahaha, that bastard Gul finally got what he deserved!” Someone said it out loud.
“I heard that he was captured. Are they going to do the execution in public?” A young man asked with a twinkle in his eye. Watching executions was an activity that many people enjoyed, especially when a known criminal was caught.
An old man then smiled and said. “I do not mind. As long as that wretch dies, everything will be resolved.”
At the same time, various parts of the Yellow City were celebrating the news with great joy, as if this was the best time for this population in a long time.
People were screaming in the streets, men and women of all ages smiling as if there was no tomorrow. That night, it was practically impossible to sleep in this region since the party seemed not to end.
…
And in this festive atmosphere, quickly three days passed in the Yellow City. In the meantime, the butler Dillian had healed most of Emlyn’s wounds, to the point that all the open wounds had been properly recovered.
She had also received many spiritual fruits from Minos’ soldiers, so she had recovered much of her energy. As for the little fox, Kyla, she was very happy. Seeing her mother recovering after suffering so much was excellent for her.
But not only that, because she was born while her mother was in a region poor in spiritual energy, Kyla had never eaten any delicacy with a high spiritual concentration in her short life. Because of that fact, she was pleased to eat the fruits of the Black Plain, even to the point that she came alone to Minos to get a little more.
Right now, Minos was in one of the mansion’s rooms, which looked quite noble. There was a good space and several glass windows, which gave great ventilation. But there was not much furniture, nor decoration in the place, just a big bed, a closet, and an armchair.
Sniff! Sniff!
Minos was still asleep when suddenly he felt something move on his sheets. This was Kyla, who came to wake Minos every day to receive her breakfast.
“Au! Au! Au!”
Minos then turned from side to side of the bed and opened his eyes slowly. He saw a small fox with orange and white fur, with one tail, looking at him with her little eyes in a hungry expression.
“Kyla, are you hungry yet? It is not yet time to eat.” He said while running his hand over the little fox’s head.
“Au! Au!” She said with a sad look in her eyes.
After that, Minos got up and took Kyla in his arms, heading for where Emlyn was. “Okay, let’s see how your mom is doing first.”
After that, Minos walked for a few seconds until he reached a large room, where Emlyn was lying on a long rug on the floor. When sensing that someone was looking at her, the mother fox opened her eyes and saw a man holding her daughter while feeding her.
In the meantime that Emlyn and Kyla had lost their freedom to Gul’s bandits, Emlyn was unable to feed her daughter due to injuries to her body. And Kyla already had her teeth grown so that she could eat other foods besides her mother’s milk. That is why she had been eating the fruits given by Minos.
Minos then placed the fox next to her mother and said. “Okay, your treatment is over. That’s a good thing. If you want, I can deliver the bandit chief to you today, will you?”
The big fox looked at Minos for a second and said in a resentful voice. “Okay, I want him as soon as possible so that I can calm the anger in my heart for what happened.”
“Ehh, and have you made up your mind about what I said before? As you have already recovered, I do not intend to stay here in this city any longer.”
“You said you would show me the proof, but I would be forced to agree with your offer, right? Don’t you think this is too excessive? You say you’re different from those men, but it looks like you want to limit me as much as they do.”
Minos then smiled and said. “It is not excessive, as certain secrets cannot be told in public. But when I said that you would have to accept the deal after seeing my proof, it is partly because you would want to take this chance yourself with everything you have.”
“This is simply the best opportunity for you and Kyla.” After saying this, Minos let the mother and daughter eat quietly while he went to have his breakfast. After all, Minos was far from the level where he would no longer need to eat to survive. Not only that, but good food could also bring a lot of satisfaction, even if there were no nutritional needs.
Hours passed, and finally, Emlyn’s time for revenge came. All of Minos’ soldiers were already gathered in an outer courtyard of the mansion. Minos, Dillian, and Ruth were also sitting on a porch, looking at the three men kneeling on the floor.
These were Gul, Dugal, and the muscular man. Minos intended to leave Yellow City in the next few hours, so he had to resolve the situation of these three. He then said out loud as he looked at Dugal. “You gave me real information, so I will let you live. Release your spiritual strength and let one of the soldiers here destroy your spiritual cultivation.”
To destroy one’s spiritual cultivation, there would be two ways to do this, first by seriously injuring that person’s soul and second by dissipating the individual’s spiritual energy and then destroying the cultivator’s sensitive organ.
It was not enough to destroy this organ without the cultivation being dissipated beforehand. This is because the user’s spiritual energy always protected the organ, and it was impossible to destroy spiritual energy. It was not palpable, which made it indestructible, even for a God! The spiritual energy could only take shape from the point where the cultivator used spiritual techniques.
Dugal then reluctantly released his spiritual energy. Quickly, those at level 40 realized that Dugal’s level had gone from level 43 to level 0 in just a few seconds.
He looked exhausted. His face was completely pale after doing this. Soon after, one of Minos’ soldiers made a small cut at the height of Dugal’s neck, removing a small transparent gland from that place.
This was the spiritual gland, the organ responsible for the spiritual manipulation of humans!
Shortly after seeing this, Minos said out loud while looking at the two remaining men. “Well, there is no mercy for any of you. Sergeant Humbert, behead the muscular man and let the mother fox come here.”
After saying that, Emlyn quickly entered the courtyard with a bloody look in her eyes while she looked at Gul and then made her move!
Most people in this place didn’t even notice when the muscular man lost his head. The sight of what the mother fox did was too shocking for them to look elsewhere!
After jumping in Gul’s direction, she immediately started devouring the former bandit boss!
“AHHH!”
