The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2518 The Return of the Enemy

"I know. The time has come to deal with him. Our problems won't end with just eliminating him, but if we can kill him, we can achieve a more stable position within the guild." Minos said to his wife, aware of the dangers and challenges ahead, but there was no easy way out.

If he dealt with Artaud, Jade Chainsaws would surely find other ways to get rid of him. Even if he didn't have to fight against stronger and stronger cultivators, he would at least have different pressure and movements from his enemies.

This would be the case indefinitely. This was the power play in a guild like Armhands.

But Minos had a plan to win this conflict once and for all!

"As long as we have stability for you and the others to grow, sooner or later, we'll have a chance to access the black liquid again. You've only been in the guild for a little over a year, so it's not yet time for the Chief Commander to give you a chance. But eventually, he'll give you the chance to test this resource. I'm sure of it." He said and looked into her eyes.

Depending on the results of Abby's experiments with the black liquid, she and he would gain many merit points and could even influence Generals who were currently neutral or siding with other groups.

Once they showed their potential and gained more influence than Jade Chainsaws, they could easily solve such a problem!

"We just have to hang on a little longer, Abby. The dangers along the way are nothing more than stepping stones on our journey to the top." "You've always been optimistic." She smiled at her husband as she walked over and gave him a hug.

Minos smiled with a twinkle in his eye before turning his attention to the over 25 coffins in the cave.

There were beings between levels 110 and 112. The weaker ones Minos wanted to send to the Spiritual World with Callie and Vico in a few decades, while the stronger ones he wanted to wait for his and Abby's next level advancement.

But before his next journey out of Zocarro, he intended to combine his skills with Abby's to revive the level 113 corpses, leaving powerful supports behind when it was time for him to leave for the Seraphic World.

The two of them soon put aside their affairs to go and cultivate in this area, where there were many powerful resources and artifacts besides the coffins.

After so many obligatory and punishing missions, Minos and his people had gained many things for their faction. Even though they weren't recruiting right now, their wealth and opportunities were growing as time went on.

...

While Minos' group continued their activities, approaching their best point since his return to the guild, the guild's Chief Commander was in his office talking about him and Abby.

Since Officer Stuart's words, the Chief Commander had followed up on this human's case every two months.

Today, the General in charge of updating him was there to talk about Minos and Abby again.

"So he's about to finish the punishment missions I gave them? Looks like he's really good. Completing that many missions in three-quarters of the maximum time is impressive." The level 117 giant said to the General in front of him.

"Yes, if he and his people weren't hindered by rivals within the guild, they would have completed all these activities by now and gone back to doing meritorious deeds for the guild." The level 114 man said in front of the Chief Commander.

"Rivals, huh? But that's part of it. We all have our own stones in our path." It didn't bother the Chief Commander that the guild members were competing against each other.

Competition was everywhere. As much as it was against the guild's rules, the higher-ups in the organization turned a blind eye to actions that didn't cross the line too much and didn't leave any evidence.

Of course, they wouldn't forgive a fool who left evidence of his actions behind, so just because they turned a blind eye didn't mean they accepted everything!

"Let them compete and grow stronger. Those who survive will be the new pillars of the guild." The Chief Commander said with an exuberant smile on his ugly face.

"As for the girl Officer Minos Stuart told us about, she looks like an impressive necromancer. She completed all of her required and optional missions in record time and has a perfect performance. According to several Officers who have seen her in action, she is extremely efficient at using the dead to accomplish her goals.

If someone gives her just a few seconds, she can revive several corpses of higher levels than her own, which can last long enough for a long battle.

Some of her pre-prepared corpses have been seen in action more than once. But it is said that there are remnants of Officer Minos Stuart's powers in these corpses."

"So he can make her divine ability stronger?" The Chief Commander asked.

"Yes, with his help, the corpses last longer and are more loyal to her." The General confirmed.

"Interesting. Monitor her. I'm still not convinced it's worth giving them some of the black liquid. But if they manipulate level 114 corpses, I might change my mind." "I'll keep an eye on them, Commander."

...

Meanwhile, outside the Armhands' headquarters, on the surface of Examire, a level 114 being covered in a cloak had just entered the city.

After gazing at the floating island of Armhands for a moment, this individual made his way to a location at one end of the magnificent alien city. 'Minos...' He thought of his enemy, feeling anger pulsing through his body. 'I'm going to kill you soon, you wretch! Just you wait! The next time I see you, it will be your end!

Artaud made his way through the city, looking for one of the local forces in charge of mercenary services.

When he reached this place, he identified the member of Jade Chainsaws who had ordered to come to this place today.

"General..." The level 112 man saw him and stood up.

"Be quiet." Artaud said in a somber tone before asking. "Did you bring the resources I requested?"

"Yes, it's all here." The alien handed Artaud a storage item.

"Very well. Go back to the guild and keep quiet. I won't be coming back just yet. I'll take care of my business and wait for Minos. When the time comes, I'll take action against the damned thing and then return with its head in my hands!"
