Chapter 920: Facilitating the Subordinate’s Revenge 2
After jumping over 8 meters high, Minos quickly made a sword movement directed downward, intending to destroy the barrier around that palace.
He made a vertical movement with that beautiful dark-red-bladed sword, causing his two hands to move from a position above his head downwards, unleashing great offensive power.
At the same time that he made this swift movement, the guards on the outskirts of that street were dumbfounded as they observed his strange behavior.
“Hey! Hey!”
“What the fuck is that?”
“What are you doing?”
Voices sounded in the surroundings as several of the few people left on that street at that time looked at Minos with their pupils wholly contracted.
That was the city under the command of the Hargraves family, a noble power of the Kingdom of the End that was making great strides towards becoming a high-level organization. So, those people, among them the subordinates of this family, could not help but be frightened by Minos’ unexpected move.
Who in their right mind would attack the headquarters of such a powerful organization?
In this way, Minos’ action caught the attention of these people, frightening them but at the same time making them curious.
After all, what could a level 53 cultivator do?
“Hey, that’s truly weird! What the fuck kind of power is that?” Someone shouted this as he felt drops of sweat running down his back.
And it did not take long for them to realize that Minos was not ordinary!
At that instant, a bluish blade, more than ten meters long, appeared in the air, heading towards that area where the Hargraves family headquarters was.
Swooish!
The blade sent by Minos ‘ran’ towards its target. At the same time, this young man slowly fell back to the ground, following a parabolic trajectory.
And in just a few fractions of a second, before Minos even put his feet on the ground, that attack came close enough to the defensive barrier of that place.
Zum!
A distinctive noise resounded through the area, making all the people within a radius of one kilometer from that place feel goosebumps on their bodies at that instant.
But soon afterward, another sound took the place of the previous one, as Minos’ attack and the defenses of that place collided.
Crack!
Crack!
Almost instantly after this, cracks large enough to be seen from kilometers away began to spread across that green semi-spherical barrier.
…
Meanwhile, inside that area protected by that barrier…
By now, the most substantial specialists present in that headquarters were already on full alert, with many having already understood that such a place was under enemy attack.
It was already late at night, and many of the thousands of members of this organization who lived in this place were already sleeping or quietly cultivating in their rooms. But the experts who had not gone to the Black Plain and were looking after the family were on standby.
And after sensing the local defensive array coming into action, many of them could not help but frown as they began to run around that area, already worried.
“What’s happening?”
“How can we be attacked in our city?”
Soon after, several elders gathered near the spot where the cracks in the barrier had appeared and began to discuss the matter, worried, trying to figure out what to do.
“I don’t know…” One of the strongest there said this while a deathly pale expression formed on his face. “But regardless of what happened, now we can only fight for the family!”
“If we survive this ordeal, we will worry about how we were surprised in our city!” He said this coldly, as he feared for his future.
The Hargraves family was a powerful organization, which was even stronger than House Chambers in its glory days. And as such, the members of this organization also had their arrogance, which, by the way, was not entirely unfounded.
Even more so, considering that they had significantly benefited from their recent relationship with Charles, something that had brought this organization very close to the powers of the Kingdom of the Waves.
However, no matter how good the winds were for this family, that elder from before knew that their situation was not comfortable.
After all, the barrier protecting this place was so good that it could only be destroyed by the strongest Spiritual Kings in this region or by many experts.
In any case, whether the enemy was a peak Spiritual King or several experts, this place was being attacked by an enemy that could not be underestimated.
Consequently, that elder had a bad feeling at the moment, fearing what would happen when that barrier was destroyed!
“Get ready to fight!”
“Yes! Let’s defend the family’s honor at all costs!”
Several voices sounded in that place as they summoned their weapons from their spatial rings and prepared for the worst.
…
After a few seconds of suffering from the damage of Minos’ attack and the continuous action of the Devouring Art, that great barrier finally collapsed!
Crack!
A final cracking sound reverberated through there as that protection shattered into endless pieces, much like tiny shards of glass.
‘Finally!’ Minos thought about it quietly as he watched the place before him, standing in the same spot where he had fallen after that previous attack.
After that, he felt the spiritual fluctuations of ten Spiritual Kings, only four of which were above level 55.
‘Well, that’s a medium-level family… You can’t expect much more than that.’ He pondered this as he considered the ones that were his targets.
Minos was not in this place to make a massacre and wipe out the Hargraves family. After all, he did not have a significant disagreement with that organization despite it being his enemy in the Black Plain war of independence.
He was here to continue to haunt the regional powers, particularly House Carline. But, at the same time, this was a way for him to favor one of his subordinates, someone who had been by his army’s side for years since the days when he was not a great deal.
Therefore, Minos had no desire to kill all those people.
No, that would go against Barbara’s desire for revenge, who wanted to get her hands dirty with the blood of her enemies. And also, it would not favor him either.
His actions until then had certainly been terrifying for many in this region. But if he crossed the line, exterminating a family, it could turn against him, ruining his reputation.
And as much as Minos did not care what others thought, he knew that to lead, he needed to show the region that he was reasonable and capable of following rules.
He needed to clarify that as long as the people in this region did not cross the line and did not challenge him, he would not do much against them.
And to show this, he would kill only those who could offer real danger to the Black Plain, which were the strongest experts in the region.
As for anything that would happen in the future, that would be punishment, not just murder. So, his action was not going against the idea of exterminating the Spiritual Kings of enemy organizations in the Black Plain!
“Well, time to act!” Minos muttered under his breath before finally running toward where he had sensed his targets.
After that, he quickly ran into the ten opponents, those individuals who were already running furiously toward him.
“Wretch!”
“Let’s kill this worm!”
“I don’t know how he managed to destroy our defenses, but there’s no way he can escape us!” One of them said this a little more encouraged than before, feeling that perhaps the current situation was not as hopeless as they had thought.
However, most of those people did not even get a chance to see their hopes tested.
The instant Minos appeared less than 80 meters away from them, the space in the surrounding area ‘froze.’
As leaves of plants stood motionless in the air, those experts felt their energy being sucked away by an invisible parasite as they stood motionless in terror.
Minos then used his mental technique on those stronger individuals, intending to interrogate them before killing them. Meanwhile, he ran around that area, planning to use his fists and feet to knock out the weaker enemies!
