By temporarily reaching level 102, Minos had reached a level of power that would allow him to easily have total dominance over an opponent of up to level 107.

However, as much as that undead was at level 108, Minos' powers were special within his Space and Time Domain.

If that creature hadn't been so close to Minos, if it hadn't been unprepared, it would have been able to move even a little within the space under Emperor Stuart's influence. But by confidently grabbing Minos' neck with its hands as it prepared to defeat its opponent, this creature made the big mistake of underestimating him.

As the Flashdrain sacrificed itself to prevent the death of its host, Minos' power skyrocketed, just as he had predicted would happen in this battle.

Knowing what would happen at this point in the battle, Minos was not slow. When he felt his cultivation at such a new level, he caused space and time around him to stop functioning properly.

A spatial trap quickly formed around him and the level 108 undead, while time for that creature began to speed up to an absurd degree.

While 1 second passed for Minos, 10 seconds passed for that creature.

How could something like that help Minos? Well, one unit of energy expended by Minos would be equivalent to 10 units of energy expended by that being for the same period of time.

That being still had more energy than Minos, so it could use more of its powers to try to escape its opponent. However, the distance between it and the opponent who wanted to kill it had become much smaller, and it couldn't stay in that situation.

That being quickly felt that it couldn't escape Minos and couldn't start screaming in its mind in desperation. But it couldn't break the time-space trap even if it used everything it had.

Minos recovered the glow of the Divine Sword to this supreme weapon while aiming it at the black heart of the motionless creature in front of him.

Using the Black Sea, this weapon, and his golden wings, which were emitting a beam of golden light, he mortally wounded the creature.

While his group nervously watched, Minos let the creature's soul burn until its body had no strength or consciousness left.

Once he felt that the enemy was finally no longer a threat, Minos relaxed a bit and let its corpse fall to the ground. At the same time, he stopped using his spatial and temporal powers.

Even after the danger had passed, he continued at level 102, remaining conscious and looking very good even though it was not his power.

"Are you all right?" Ruth asked, worried about her husband, since temporary cultivation increases usually didn't do cultivators any good.

Minos sighed and said. "I'll be fine. The rebound effect of this sacrifice will only come in about three days. The Flashdrain sacrifice is perfect in the short term. It's designed to help Armhand members fight above their level in a stressful situation, so I'll stay in my current state for at least another day. The negative effects will come gradually until the worst hits me in 3 days."

"And now? Won't that be a problem?" One of the natives of the Spiritual World asked.

"We'll have to stay in this area for a while. I won't fall asleep, but I won't be able to protect the group like before." Minos replied as he looked at his allies there.

He couldn't help but feel relieved that he had made it clear to these individuals that they had to obey him in this place. With the seal he had placed on the strongest of those alien allies, he was sure he could rely on them in his time of weakness.

"Anyway, don't touch anything nearby, least of all the corpse of that creature. Even though I managed to kill it, it was a powerful necromancer. Too much of what's around here could contaminate your bodies if you're not careful." He warned those who were with him, especially those who looked curiously at the corpse.

"What do we do now?" Ruth asked.

Minos let go of her waist and looked at the powerful body lying beside them. "I will use my temporary power to do the most dangerous part of the work here. After my level returns to normal, we'll work as planned."

To collect what was in that area, they couldn't come into direct contact with those things with their skins. But there was a simple way to collect such resources. As long as one used the free energy in the air to control these things and stored them in special devices, it was possible to collect everything there, even considering the danger of these essences and materials.

As soon as he had warned his group how cautious they should be in this area, Minos began his work, using a large urn he had in his spatial ring to store the body of that ancient being.

According to his group's information, this creature had been there since ancient times. It was an ancient specialist who had come to this place, fleeing from Zocarro's forces, and wanted to hunt it down.

After entering The Obsidian Shore and finding a place where it could evolve, such a creature made this place its home until the first one who hunted it discovered not only its situation but also what it had accomplished.

According to the informants behind the creation of the Black Heart mission, this being had found a magical source for necromancy, something extremely valuable for special practices.

Armhands was not a force that sought supremacy through sacrifice or necromancy. But the guild was interested in any resources that could make it stronger.

That was why they had created the Black Heart mission, whose main purpose was to collect some of the essences that such an ancient expert had found, as well as its corpse.

It hadn't been as strong as it was now during that mission, so the Grandmasters had a better chance of defeating it back then. But there weren't many beings like Minos in the universe. Even if there were a few like him in the far corners of the universe, only a few of them would be from the same organization.

Since none of the groups that had gone after this being until that day had the same characteristics as Minos, the mission in question had only become more difficult as this being grew stronger.

Armhands still hoped to get what they wanted by sacrificing their members' parasites, so the guild continued to invest in it.

Anyway, today, they succeeded in the first part of their interest in The Obsidian Shore. But this was only the beginning of their journey!

After gathering everything the guild wanted from this place, Minos and his people would have to escape safely!
