The Rise of the Black Plain-Chapter 1574 Arriving At Payton
By activating his 7th technique, Minos immediately made all those trying to escape or standing on the outskirts of that floating island feel a great force forcing them down.
The strongest among them were only high-level Spiritual Sages, so they paled in front of Minos, who could even force down Spiritual Sages at the moment.
But Minos didn't just push those people. He did it against that entire floating island, making its structures shake as he pushed it down.
After an initial effort, that prominent floating locality began to shake, with cracks spreading on the buildings above and within it, slowly collapsing in the face of Emperor Stuart's powers.
In a matter of seconds, that area began to descend from the skies, increasing its fall acceleration as the spiritual energy-repelling rocks broke apart.
Minos turned it into a gigantic projectile, making it impossible for any people there to escape as they flew faster and faster towards the scorching ground of that volcanic area.
After a blink of an eye, a large explosion came into focus on that island, which, when it collided with the lava on the ground, exploded into countless smaller pieces, like a meteor.
At that moment, several smaller pieces of the island flew covered in lava, creating a scorching rain in this area of the Flaming Empire.
The people who were there saw how Minos killed each person inside that island, making them die due to the shock of the lava in that area or crushed or burned to death.
The weaker ones simply died from the shock. Still, some individuals survived to endure the torture of being burned to death by the lava in that area or crushed by the island's rocks.
The effects of the shock from that floating island would last for hours in that area, creating a great curtain of smoke and changing the surrounding environment for anyone to understand the magnitude of what had happened there.
But Minos and Oswald would not remain there for long, with the white-haired old man enjoying the destruction caused by his grandson while they both sighed at the end of this enemy organization.
They would still investigate the whereabouts of members of the Saints Killing Sect, and if they were still around the empire, they would hunt them down and kill them.
But with this event, that organization could be considered dead, with no more possibility of causing any problems for the organizations and families of the two!
Oswald then said. "Didn't you think it would have been interesting to collect the items from the people on that island?"
Minos replied. "No. Any significant wealth should be with Mortimer. What there might be with those people was of small value...
In any case, some of their spatial rings must not have been destroyed. So if you want to bring your people here to collect, be free to do so."
"Hmm, fine." Oswald agreed before clapping one of his hands on one of his grandson's shoulders. "Congratulations on getting that, Minos. I didn't imagine I would see the end of the bastard Mortimer and his people so quickly.
But tell me one thing, how did you get it? I think your cultivation speed is a little beyond normal."
"Hmm, let's talk about that when we get to Dry City." He said, knowing he was being watched but making it clear to his grandfather that this was related to the Spatial Kingdom.
Oswald was no dummy and nodded affirmatively. "What shall we do now?"
"Harold wants to invite us to a dinner party, and with Mortimer dead, I think it's really good that we meet with the leaders of the Flaming Empire... Then we'll go to Payton."
"Oh? That will be good, then." He said, smiling, eager to see his old colleagues, who now owed much respect to his grandson.
As a proud grandfather, Oswald couldn't help but look forward to moments when he would see former rivals having to bow down to his grandson.
On the other hand, Minos took the opportunity to take Gavin's eyes, something he had collected before destroying the floating island where Mortimer's forces were earlier.
He looked at those three eyes, especially the largest one, and sighed, feeling the power of that bloodline.
Unfortunately, all of Gavin's family members had been killed, and now that lineage would probably disappear from the world.
At the same time, with no one able to absorb the powers of those eyes, Minos decided to destroy them from sight, ending the millions of years of history of powerful innate ability.
He created a small black hole and swallowed that thing, erasing its information.
'Sigh... I'll leave that black hole in place of your grave, Gavin.' He thought to himself after storing that little black hole in a mirrored sphere.
Minos had built a tomb for Gavin, even though he did not have that man's remains. As such, he intended to place something related to him there, as he always tried to do with the men of his forces and people important to him.
With that done, Minos and Oswald departed that area shortly after that, as the remnants of what Minos had done drew attention from nearby forces.
...
The next day...
After flying for more than a night, Minos and Oswald reached the capital of the Flaming Empire, where Harold had already arrived after leaving the Flowers Kingdom the day before.
Because of this, when Minos and Oswald arrived in this city, they immediately found a place with a festive atmosphere, with all the local leaders present to celebrate the return of their sovereign.
As the two appeared in the local skies, preparing to land near one of the entrances to Payton, a group of guards respectfully approached them.
"Mister Stuart, Mister Coleman, please accompany us." The guard leader said with his head bowed, immensely grateful to these two men for having risked themselves in the Flowers Kingdom to save His Majesty.
At the same time, each of those men felt how much stronger Minos had become since the last time he had passed through this state, over five years ago.
Minos was now at level 74 and had a frightening aura, capable of making those below level 80 feel chills in their bodies when they stood in his presence for the first time.
But this feeling was not only for those in his immediate vicinity. Even people more than a kilometer away from Minos would feel goosebumps on his account!
So as they moved on, many people in the streets watched the swift passage of Minos and Oswald, identifying the return of this former sect master but shocked by the strength of Emperor Stuart. Google search 𝙛𝘳𝐞𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵ𝗲𝙡. 𝑐o𝓶
Even some local leaders had to come out of their properties to see who was passing, noting that they should pay Minos and Oswald a visit.
Amidst this, it didn't take long for the old supreme elder to notice Minos' arrival and note that he was not wrong about this individual.
'At this rate, he will be at my level in less than a decade!' The supreme elder thought, 'I must speak to His Majesty urgently.' He moved to where Harold was standing along with his women and Isabella.
