When Minos opened his eyes, he felt his aura rapidly increase his power by more than 11%, while the range and capacity of all his abilities increased accordingly.
After a long journey of cultivation, he reached level 99, which was previously considered the pinnacle of the Spiritual World. Those who reached this level would lead with virtually no enemies able to defeat them.
He had often wondered what the day would be like when he reached this level and could realistically consider advancing to level 100.
Now he was finally there!
As he thought about it, he suddenly felt the wing tattoo on one of his hands warm up.
'Congratulations on reaching level 99. Don't get hung up on reaching level 100. If you really want to deal with the problems of the Spiritual World, don't go enter the Divine Journey until you've sorted everything out there.' The conscience of the seraph in the wing tattoo advised Minos.
'Why?'
'Because of the legacy you've received, which will test you when you reach level 100. Even though the passage of time in the place where you will be sent is different from the passage of time in the Spiritual World, the Millennial Massacre lasts a thousand years. Even if time in your world is slower than in that place, you could still be gone long enough for all your acquaintances to have perished in the War of the Worlds.
It's better to hold off on progressing when you reach the peak of the 10th stage and only go after you've accomplished all your goals.' The soul remnant in the tattoo explained. 'After that, I'll guide you in fulfilling your promise to me.'
'I see. Thank you for the tip.'
'Anyway, I don't need to become stronger than I already am to solve the problems of my world. What worries me is the way back to the Spiritual World.' Minos commented.
'Yes, I understand. But you should be fine. Invest in your companions. It won't be a problem if they get stronger. In any case, good luck. I'll talk to you again when you've finished your business in the Spiritual World.'
'Hmm, see you next time.' Minos said in his mind as he stood up and looked around, soon finding Ruth and his Spiritual World companion still alive.
Apart from these two, he saw some of the enemies who were watching him, waiting for the moment when he would leave Obsidian City.
"Where are the others?" He asked after receiving congratulations from his wife and the level 100 Sovereign.
"Some of them are facing challenges in the city. The others are waiting for them at the entrances to those challenges," said the recently advanced Sovereign.
Ruth asked Minos. "Do you think we're ready to go? Some of those who seemed interested in us have left in recent years. But there are still people here who will try to attack us once we leave this city."
"I think so. We're not injured, and we've improved our cultivation... What will happen if I steal our opponents' cultivation and let our entire group improve by one level?" Minos looked at them confidently. "I'm not saying that we'll leave this place easily. But our chances aren't as slim now as they were a few years ago.
Anyway, let's get going. I want to leave this place as soon as possible. It will soon become increasingly difficult for us to leave this area."
With that, the three of them moved toward the members of their group who were closest to them.
...
A few days after Minos' advance, his nine-member group was reunited.
Minos had had to wait a few days because two of his allies were completing local challenges.
The Obsidian City was a magnificent place, not only for protection and cultivation. The city's builders left behind a number of ancient artifacts, which could be obtained by completing challenges in the city itself.
Two of Minos' teammates completed these challenges and obtained valuable artifacts from within the city.
When the last of them had completed his challenge, and the rest of the team was ready to leave, the group finally began to move out of Obsidian City.
But they were not the only ones moving. The moment their group passed the exit of that place, three other groups followed them, one moving faster towards them and the other two moving more cautiously.
As soon as they left the area, the monsters waiting for Minos on the city's outskirts also moved and immediately started chasing them.
Minos looked at the creatures that hadn't given up and sighed, seeing that he wouldn't get any rest.
'So be it. If you want the terror of death, here I am.' He thought as he stopped, not hesitating to take the lead of his group and use his innate ability against one of the aliens who approached him, armed with his group, to attack Minos' people.
Minos then made his cultivation jump from level 99 to level 100, this time without the use of a special parasite sacrifice but through his ability!
When his cultivation reached level 100, his powers increased until his strength became similar to that of a level 103 Sovereign, even though he was only at level 100.
At that moment, Minos quickly made the Divine Sword appear while his wings opened, emitting an intense glow against the creatures moving against his group.
He moved his sword vertically against the strongest enemy in the area, a level 106 creature, slicing through space as he moved the weapon.
Then, under the gaze of dozens of surrounding creatures, a giant of energy with the appearance of Minos crossed the space with a sword in its hand until it sliced through that huge snake-like monster as if that level 106 creature was nothing.
"I have given you years to make up your minds. Now, there is no salvation." Minos told all these creatures as his allies felt their auras reaching levels 101, 102, and 103.
As their powers increased, the strongest cheered as they took up their weapons to face the many enemies in the area.
After suffering and being forced to flee and hide, they couldn't help but crave the blood of those many creatures around them that were trying to pressure them once again!
"Attack!"
"Kill those wretches!"
