The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 537: You Alone? It is not Enough...

After arriving in the courtyard of his residence, Minos walked calmly to the fighting platform there, followed closely by Angela.

In doing so, soon, the two saw a young woman with black hair sitting not far from a big bathtub, which was now covered with specific equipment.

Ruth was sitting cross-legged on the floor while her eyes were closed as if she were meditating. But she wasn't cultivating right now. Instead, she was just waiting for Minos to arrive.

Usually, they trained together at this time of day and then had their intimate time together... So this woman was quietly waiting for Minos in this place while she thought about her battle techniques and how to improve her execution.

However, while doing so, she finally heard the footsteps of people approaching her, when she suddenly turned and opened her eyes. "Minos?" She asked in a low voice.

Seeing the white-eyed, white-haired woman following Minos closely, Ruth furrowed her brows subtly. This young woman probed this level 54 Spiritual King for a moment while noticing the beauty of such a person.

Angela had a thin face without any age-related marks and had an eye-catching beauty. Admittedly, she wasn't particularly as beautiful as Elena and Kara. Yet, she had a look that would stand out in this region of the Central Continent.

Also, despite her high level of cultivation by regional standards, she didn't look any older than Ruth herself!

Ruth then asked, looking in Angela's direction, just a second after she realized all this. "Who are you?"

"I'm Angela." So she shortly said as she made her own judgment of Ruth.

And right after this short dialogue between the two of them, Minos approached Ruth and introduced that woman. "Ruth, Angela is the bodyguard of the poison master that Eduard and White were going after. Both arrived in town earlier today."

"Oh? Good to know!" She commented, satisfied.

Ruth was happy about it for two reasons. First, because White was back, after all, this young woman had raised that eagle from the first months of its life. And secondly, because with Regina's arrival in the Dry City, she would be able to take advantage of this woman's services!

After saying that, Minos smiled and looked at those two women. "Well, since you've already been introduced, it's time for us to start..."

"Ruth, today I'll add a little help for you. So you can fight side by side with Angela against me!"

'Oh? Is that why she's here?' Ruth thought inwardly as she reflexively looked at Angela's surprised expression.

This woman had her eyebrows raised while her mouth was slightly open. "You mean you're going to fight both of us simultaneously?"

"That's right!"

"I thought you wanted to have a friendly match just with me." She said as a slight smile formed on her face. "Wouldn't that be unfair to you?"

Hearing this, Ruth put one of her hands over her mouth and tried to look away from the woman. This young woman had almost laughed out loud when she heard Angela's comment.

'What a joke...'

"I don't want to be disrespectful, Miss Angela, but you alone are not enough."

Hearing this, Angela looked steadily at young Stuart as she clenched her fists tightly. She truly wanted to teach this young man in front of her a lesson!

She didn't know precisely how strong Minos would be, but she was sure he wouldn't be simple to deal with. After all, with that speed he had moved before, this itself was proof that his strength was way above his cultivation level.

But Angela wasn't sure if he was just fast or if he had other abilities.

She hadn't acted on their first contact with this young man because Regina had become a hostage to Minos. So, anything she tried to do in that situation could quickly put her contractor's life at risk. And after that, she and her boss wanted to gather more information before deciding how to act.

However, she truly wanted to fight Minos. Therefore, his last commentary had been like throwing fuel on a fire!

'Let's see what you're capable of, child.' So she thought as she stared at Minos.

Angela might look as young as Ruth, but that was just because she had already had a poison treatment with Regina. Otherwise, she would have to look a few centuries older...

So, naturally, for her, Minos, in his early 20-years-old, was just a child in her eyes!

She then tried to calm her heart and said in a moderate tone. "Alright, let's do as you say."

"Hmmm."

After young Stuart made a sound of agreement, he immediately activated the arrays in that courtyard, which protected the walls and structures of this part of his residence.

Finally, he positioned himself in the middle of that fighting platform and gestured with one of his hands. "You can come!"

Upon hearing this, the first to prepare was Ruth. She made a fighting stance with her fists at the height of her chin. At the same time, she circulated her spiritual energy to at any moment activate her combat techniques.

However, this young woman did not make the first move. After all, she was used to fighting Minos, and she wouldn't rush into a fight with him.

But the same was not true for Angela...

This woman was on fire, and when Minos gave his order, she immediately started running towards him, activating all her techniques.

'Since you're so fast, I'll put you in a position where you won't have much room to act!' She thought about it as she ran and opened her hands.

As she made this move, several silver spears began to form in her surroundings, glowing brightly and becoming more and more palpable.

While these spears of energy were forming, Angela slowly controlled them, sending them towards Minos' escape points. She wanted to leave only one escape route for this young man, through which she intended to test his other abilities.

For that, one of those silver spears was already in her hands, fully formed and ready to be used.

'Come on! Show me what you're capable of!' Her thoughts began to fly as she felt more and more capable, ready to teach Minos a valuable lesson.

On the other hand, young Stuart was calmly looking at his opponent as he activated his techniques one by one.

First, his Indestructible Body was activated, making him feel great strength in every part of his body. It was like he was bursting with energy, ready to slay his opponents with his bare hands!

And, indeed, Minos believed that with his next advancements in the cultivation and technique phase, he would be able to use his body to fight his opponents.

That would not be something as powerful as his attack technique since such a thing would only happen in later stages. But he already felt that he could start using it constantly in the near future!

Even though he hadn't reached the technique phase or cultivation stage yet, and couldn't fight in such a way, he could already feel differences in his body.

Anyway, as he felt the defensive peculiarities of his body increase considerably, he held his two medium-level grade-2 swords. At the same time, a black ring began to rise by his feet, getting bigger and bigger in radius.

Zum!

Explosive Steps!

After doing all that, he started to move towards Angela, already preparing to surprise her with a decisive attack.

This woman had decided to underestimate him and fight him so directly. Then Minos wouldn't take it easy. The more she realized how dangerous it was to challenge him, the better this fight would result in this young man's opinion!

Spatial Sword, Two Swords Style!

Swooish! Swooish!

"What?" Angela screamed in shock, realizing what was going on in her surroundings.
