The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 405: Excellent!

Quickly Minos and Abby had moved through the streets of Athela and headed towards the south exit of this great city. There the two retrieved that great beast, which had been living peacefully on that reservation the entire time.

It had even become bigger in the time that passed. However, unfortunately, young Abby's beast still hadn't made it to the 5th stage of cultivation.

Such a creature was only 4-years-old and would still need some time to reach level 40.

And finally, after they had done such a thing, the couple left town by that exit, heading east.

...

As Minos and Abby traveled towards Wilburg, two men were doing their best to escape a group of pursuers, running on top of their beasts in the vicinity of this kingdom's capital.

On one side were the pursuers, wearing armor with the same type of symbol, while on the other were two men who appeared to be from different organizations.

One of them looked like a middle-aged man. The other looked like a young warrior who must have been in his thirties at most.

"Miserables! These bastards made us wait two whole months for them to get out of that cultivation tower!" One of the men from the chasing group yelled in anger as he stared at the figures of Elen and Elena's bodyguards running away.

Naturally, these people were the spies of the Allen family, who were trying to kidnap the two bodyguards who had stayed in the capital of the Kingdom of the Waves earlier.

These two men had spent the entire time in Athela's cultivation tower, which had been made possible by the crystals left by Elen and Elena.

They already knew what problems could happen and had left a certain amount for their bodyguards to 'survive' in this place. And, thanks to the crystals Eduard had accumulated from Elen and Minos' business, the bodyguards had spent two months hiding and training in Athela's cultivation tower.

But at no time had they found Minos in that place. After all, the cultivation tower was quite large, and these two men spent most of their time inside collective cultivation rooms, which were on separate floors from the more private locations.

However, even though they couldn't find these two, the bodyguards had significantly increased their strength in the meantime!

That's because, in everyday situations, they couldn't train that long without being bothered with family-related matters, nor did they have opportunities to train in cultivation towers.

So, the two had had a good result, with Elena's bodyguard having reached level 49 and Eduard having reached the limit of that level!

Eduard just hadn't increased from the cultivation stage in the time he passed because he didn't have medium-grade crystals with him. Otherwise, he might have succeeded in reaching level 50 on his last days of training at that location.

But even if he hadn't gotten there, he was infinitely close to that dream level and could achieve it in the next few days!

Finally, after leaving that cultivation tower, they had quickly moved towards the southern exit of Athela, where they wanted to make their way to a forested region near that area.

The two knew they couldn't win and escape a group of 4 Spiritual Generals at level 49 and 2 at level 48. Hence, if they went straight to the coast, where there is no forest, they would have no way to use the land to their advantage and would likely fall into enemy hands.

To avoid this scenario, in which they would likely die in the end, the two had concluded that they couldn't run away towards Stone Island.

Not only would the way to the coast be more difficult, but the Allen family could know in advance where these two were going.

Such a thing could worsen their situation, as the two would not get support from their families as quickly as the nobles who pursued them!

But if they used the many woodlands south of the Kingdom of the Waves, they could have a chance. After all, in these places, powerful spiritual beasts and many dangers were lurking.

They could even end up dying from these dangers, but desperate people do what gives them the most possibilities and not what is safe!

They could die, but so did their pursuers.

Rather than peacefully surrendering to sure deaths, the two would instead put themselves in danger, hoping the enemy group would receive more damage than them!

Anyway, that was the plan of the two, survive the trip through the dangerous areas of the Kingdom of the Waves and, who knows, return home after escaping from the enemy group.

"Eduard, let's go to the mountainous region. There's southeast of here. That place is the closest to where we are, and maybe we can have enough time for you to reach level 50!" The middle-aged man who followed Eduard's side, running through the fields of that region, said this seriously.

"Good idea, let's go!" Saying this, the two hurried even more as they changed direction and watched the group chasing them from behind. The two bodyguards had prepared well for this day, and because of that, the two had gained a slight advantage against their opponents.

So, the two were at least a few minutes ahead of the Allen family's group of spies, who had no choice but to pursue them. And, naturally, these people wanted to end it before the two bodyguards left this state's capital.

Still, things don't always go as planned...

With that, for now, those six people could only chase the bodyguards as they gradually approached those two men.

"These bastards, I can't wait to torture them!" One of them said this angrily as he clenched his fists tightly and continued to pursue those two men.

...

At this moment, the third prince of the Kingdom of the Waves was currently leaving his city, along with a small group of Spiritual Kings.

They were traveling without any identification while departing from an alternative exit from that town, not to attract attention...

"Third Prince, we've checked everything out. No one saw us leave Edtown." A tall, muscular man said this to Charles as he leaned outside the unmarked carriage in which this young man was traveling.

"Ok, this is good. What about our target? Is he already in transit?" Charles asked dubiously, snapping his fingers and looking at the window where that man was leaning.

"Yes, he is. About 12 hours ago, the Second Prince left his city, heading towards the eastern region. He intends to meet with the local powers to get more support. He…" The man hesitated for a moment and then continued. "He seems intent on heading north afterward, heading towards Ms. Ava's hometown."

"Oh? As expected from that bastard! He's truly trying to court one of my women!" The prince muttered in a low voice simultaneously as the veins in his forehead stood out, and his face darkened considerably.

'But this son of a bitch won't last much longer…' Charles thought about it, watching the landscape around him fall behind as night gradually shrouded the skies of that region.

"How many days will it take us to reach him?" He asked one of the men traveling beside him in that carriage.

"About 20 days, Prince." The man who looked to be in his late forties answered him without changing his expression, not even a little.

"And what strength is there with my brother?"

"Three Spiritual Kings are accompanying the second prince. The strongest is at level 53 and the weakest at level 51. As for the Spiritual Generals, there are 20 of them, between levels 48 and 49."

"But rest assured, it will be impossible for him to defend himself against our group. As long as they don't hide inside some big city, we can easily destroy them." The man finished speaking, not expressing much emotion.

He was already at level 54, and his other four companions on this trip were all Spiritual Kings, between levels 50 and 52. So, this man was not concerned about the outcome of their mission.

"Excellent!"

After that, this group quickly vanished on the Edtown skyline...
