The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2490 Alternative Exit

Chapter 2490  Alternative Exit 

As he suddenly felt the pain from the deep burns on his body fade away, Jembei saw his surroundings spinning strangely while his eyes gradually lost their light.

Rolling in the air for a moment, he caught sight of his own body, now headless, looking at the situation in astonishment, not even having seen the movement of Minos, the man who ended his life.

Darkness invaded his soul from the position of the cut on his neck, burning him without him being able to do anything to save himself.

In just two breaths of time, his severed head would fall to the ground, his aura completely consumed, and he would be the first of his group allies to die.

But he wouldn't be the only one!

While the rest of his body rested on the ground, the two level 112 Sovereigns felt their auras weaken at an alarming rate as their knees touched the ground.

With the energy swords in their hearts, they seemed to be watching the battlefield helplessly as they felt their bodies being immobilized by the restrictive effect of the Spatial Sword.

But they weren't looking at the battlefield. As they were immobilized, their auras weakening terrifyingly, the two of them found themselves in a dimension of blades as they suffered cuts to the most painful parts of their bodies.

"Shit! We're dead!" One of the men in Jembei's group shouted as he watched three of his six companions die before his eyes.

"You're absolutely right!" said the level 111 corpse as he appeared behind this person of his cultivation and used his freezing spear to attack his opponent's back.

The living alien tried to defend himself, but with his energies being sucked away by the Devouring Art, he only resisted for a second before expressing his pain and feeling the enemy's weapon cut into his skin.

"Aaaaagh!"

A muffled cry of pain rose from the living alien's throat before 30% of his body froze upon contact with the Eternal Ice.

A smile appeared on the lips of the level 111 corpse as he saw the lifeless look on the face of the enemy who had a part of his soul frozen by this attack.

'My powers are even stronger now because of Minos' help! Excellent!' This creature pulled the spear out of the enemy's body before kicking the frozen area of the corpse, causing it to shatter like a statue.

In the next instant, the two remaining individuals suffering from Minos' flames would die, the weaker of the two being consumed by the red flames, while two corpses would deal the final blow to the second.

Minos' living allies moved in with him and the remaining corpses, surrounding the level 113 alien who had just fallen near the top of the volcano where they were.

Feeling weak, but not to the point of being unable to stand up, the remaining Sovereign of Jembei's group understood his circumstances as he tried to get up.

"Let's make a deal." He shouted as he wiped the blood from his mouth. "I will serve you for the rest of my life, as long as you forgive my insolence, Minos! I'm willing to be your slave!"

"Oh?" Minos stopped where he had just appeared after dealing with three of his enemies, while the remaining corpses gathered to surround the strongest enemy.

Minos and his team had certainly used a lot of their power to eliminate these six after dealing with Fire Manticores. But the enemy was wounded and without allies. If they wanted to continue, they could win after a good fight.

But the enemy's offer didn't seem too bad either. "What would you have to offer me as my slave?"

The man smiled, but spoke sincerely. "Besides my services as a slave, I have information you may need soon. I know things about your enemies, Jembei's faction, and other groups monitoring you, and I have contacts with high-ranking members of the guild. I know you can do everything you need to grow without my help. But I can speed up your results and help make your actions more efficient."

"Prove that you are willing to accept me as your master." Minos said while holding his Divine Sword in one hand, his dominant hand making a seal.

The level 113 Sovereign saw he had no choice. He looked around and found himself surrounded by over 10 enemies.

Escaping would be impossible, as for fighting, well, he could kill some of them, but victory was so unlikely that after a moment of serious consideration, he sighed and released his spirit.

Showing his fundamental essence, he surrendered to Minos, and soon after, the seal created by this human marked his soul, forcing an almost unbreakable bond between them.

Given the current cultivation of Minos and this guy, it wouldn't be impossible for the dominated side to reverse his situation in the future. But only if the dominated side becomes a Supreme, and the dominating side doesn't advance so quickly.

As the seal of that being's inferiority to Minos solidified, everyone in the surrounding area calmed down by restricting their powers, relieving the pressure on the area.

The level 113 Sovereign took a deep breath as he was freed from the threat of imminent death, and couldn't help but look at Jembei's body and sigh.

'It would have been better for you if we had sent the General...' He thought to himself.

Although he was now a slave of Minos, his thoughts were free enough to lament the events and to think about the mistake of Jembei and the group.

He admitted to himself what a big mistake he had made by thinking that they could fight Minos today.

After a minute of processing everything that had happened, while Minos' group turned their attention to the surroundings, he said as he slowly approached his master.

"Master, prepare yourself for trouble. As much as Jembei was the leader of the faction I belonged to, he wasn't the strongest, nor was he the last card against you.

Jembei may have had many faults, but he knew how to read the personality of those he dealt with. That made him so influential.

Before we left, he left a guild General to deal with you in case he failed..." Looking at Jembei's body, this survivor said in a deep tone. "His death will be noticed by the faction. In the next few days, before we even return to the guild, that General will have already been paid to hunt you down."
