Chapter 2585 12th Stage Battle?
Standing only a few dozen meters away from the level 115 being, Minos wasn't as uncomfortable as he should have been.
Kyip noticed this as he watched the huge dragon body in front of him and assessed the alien's figure.
'He is quite calm... Is it the Flashdrain parasite? Tsk! That damn alien. Without it, Armhands wouldn't be so strong.'
Kyip was right. Minos didn't have the power to face him, nor any other reason to feel confident in the face of a Supreme. The parasite on his forehead was his weapon behind his calmness.
Armhands was the only organization on the entire continent that had access to such an efficient method of sacrifice, with a monopoly on parasites brought from the founder's home planet. Only a few members of the guild Council knew the complete method for creating the parasites and making them loyal to the guild, so only this force had such an alternative.
Minos and Kyip were both aware of this, aware of the potential of this 'weapon' and how destructive a fight between them could be.
'He won't want to face me on the same level.' Minos thought as he watched his enemy, certain he would be as strong as Kyip if he sacrificed the parasite he had nurtured for over 30 years. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Every growth experience a member of Armhands had gave their parasite growth potential. Since Minos had done so much good for the guild, the parasite's conscience knew it should help him if necessary.
That's why Minos was confident if he used it today, he could reach the level of that Supreme, and could probably take on even stronger individuals.
"Well?" Minos was the first to open his mouth and say something, while the allied men in his group, the survivors of the earlier battle, watched cautiously, barely breathing so as not to disturb the surroundings.
Minos' five corpses didn't show the same behavior, now that the part of their minds responsible for fear had been deactivated by their master's command.
If they had to fight, they would fight the level 115 Supreme without hesitation!
The enemy smiled inwardly and said, looking at the surroundings of this ruined area, "We have a problem here, Officer Minos. You and your men have killed all of my allies."
"This is a war. One side must win the confrontation. You didn't get involved before and stopped us because of whatever. There's no point in talking about it now." Minos looked at his enemy with narrowed eyes.
The Supreme avoided Minos' gaze, pretending he was relaxed, and that there was no danger around him.
'That's because I wasn't here and didn't arrive on time.' He closed his eyes for a moment, but he didn't want to tell his enemy that. Then Kyip turned his face slightly towards Minos and raised his aura. "I'm not leaving here without something to give my sect," he said, his voice cutting the air, acting against the spectators even without aiming at them.
Minos felt a distinct sensation from the one he had felt in front of the guild's Supremes, and for a moment, he felt as if he were standing in front of a mountain of energy. Next to it, he and his huge dragon body were nothing more than a grain of sand in the desert.
The pressure of a Supreme intent on pressing down was overwhelming. Minos felt like he was in an infinite hell, trembling as he faced only a fraction of Kyip's power.
But unlike his allies, frozen in fear and certain they would die in the next few moments, Minos clearly see a different future than the one Kyip seemed to want with his current reaction.
"You will leave here in defeat, or you will not leave at all." Minos stepped forward, his gaze imposed despite the overwhelming sensation he felt. "I will not retreat to give you my territory, Supreme Kyip. If you want to get to the Cerulean Isle, you'll have to defeat all of us first."
The men of the 11th stage swallowed their saliva as they felt time passing more slowly, their hearts beating like drums.
Kyip looked at Minos and saw the courage of someone who wasn't bluffing. He could see in the silver and gold dragon's eyes that this guy didn't want to fight. But Minos was prepared to sacrifice the parasite on his forehead and earn the merit of facing a Supreme.
Unlike Minos, Kyip wasn't willing to do everything in his power to conquer the Cerulean Isle. When he relaxed his muscles, his aura decreased, and he moved a few meters away from Minos.
"You won today, Officer Minos. The next time we meet, it won't be like this."
With those words, Kyip disappeared, leaving the area so quickly that the sudden change in atmosphere caused some men to fall to the ground, finally able to breathe normally.
'That was close.' Minos felt drops of sweat trickle down his body. He was also relieved.
He would have done anything to complete his mission and not lose the Cerulean Isle. But he preferred to save the sacrifice of his parasite for something more important.
'Luckily, I can see the future. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known he was bluffing.' Minos watched the Supreme's departure, standing in the same position he had been.
It wouldn't work if he left the area immediately. For at least a few days, until reinforcements from the alliance arrived nearby, he would have to stay close to the Cerulean Isle, or the Supreme could return and take over after his departure.
However, Minos soon used his seals to place the five bodies in their black urns and sent them back to headquarters via his teleportation seal.
"Return to the Cerulean Isle and think about reinforcements. We won the battle, but not the war," Minos said to the frightened men.
At his command, some men made their way back to the Cerulean Isle, until those who stayed behind finally felt well enough to celebrate today's result.
In this battle of the war against Firestone Mines, they had been the great victors!
Minos would stay at the post where the old Green Channel had stood for a few hours before finally heading back to the Cerulean Isle, where Kendrick was already waiting for him to find out what would happen there from now on.
