The moment the four coffins in front of Minos opened, the eyes of the level 110 experts resurrected by Abby widened.

“Your skills are truly impressive, Minos. I don’t know how much time has passed, but for us it was only a few seconds with our eyes closed.” Said one of the corpses as it left its coffin and looked in the direction of the six enemies coming towards it.

Of the six creatures with lion’s bodies, bat’s wings, and scorpion’s tails dripping lava, four were level 110 monsters and two were level 111.

“Are these our enemies today?” asked one of the four creatures summoned by Minos.

Minos smiled and said. “Yes, can you solve this problem for us?”

One of the corpses looked at Minos out of the corner of its eye and realized the human’s intentions.

‘Are you hiding? You’re obviously planning something more interesting.’

“Fire Manticores, impressive creatures, especially in a scorching area like this volcano peak. However, dealing with this old man here won’t be easy.” The strongest of them said as he raised one of his hands in the air, feeling the thrill of being able to fight again. The moment he acted, sounds of air being cut appeared in the area, with several cracks appearing in the air. Then, suddenly, the body of that corpse disappeared from around Minos and quickly appeared behind one of the two level 111 enemies.

The Fire Manticore looked back, its eyes blazing with pure hatred, its mind altered to see these individuals as its mortal enemies.

It moved its tail to strike the enemy. But the corpse pointed a spear-shaped weapon at the enemy’s stinger and struck hard, unafraid that it was one level stronger.

‘Let’s see how you handle this…’ The corpse smiled as icy white mist left its weapon, fighting the burning poison of the enemy’s tail.

Sensing something strange, the manticore flew back, moving away from its attacker as it felt something strange in its body.

“Eternal Ice cannot be countered easily. Only Eternal Fire can.” Another corpse said, understanding the power of this guild ancestor. “I have nothing like that, but it’s easy to deal with a level 110 beast like that.”

The four of them attacked the six opponents, while Minos moved on, only raising his cultivation to level 107 to join the corpses in the fight against the six enemies.

‘Stay alert. The poison of these manticores is dangerous for all of you. And be ready to help Theo. His situation could deteriorate if any of the remaining attacks reach the area where he is.’ Minos warned his companions as he used the Divine Sword against the enemies.

With the help of the four corpses, he soon put pressure on the six beings, who together should have a power similar to that of a level 112 Sovereign.

With his cultivation at only level 107, Minos could only deal with this group today with the help of his allies.

However, since his allies there were stronger than the ones he had when he returned to Oqia, he quickly overcame the speed of those creatures that could spit fire from their mouths and poison from their tails.

While this was happening, Jembei watched Minos’ powers in action, seeing how strong this enemy’s helpers were, but also how the battle between his group and Minos’ would be.

Minos’ allies didn’t worry him. They could certainly become stronger with Minos’ help, but their powers or talents themselves were of no concern. The same was true for the corpses, even though they were a surprise to Jembei today.

The only genuine concern was Minos himself, who was a monster in his own right.

“How do we deal with him? I’ve heard that he can raise his cultivation to level 108. He’s having trouble killing those six manticores, but he’s not using everything he has. I believe if he uses all of his power, he could be a threat to Sovereigns up to level 112.” Said the level 110 individual, the most cautious of the group.

“But that’s what we expected. Besides, our group is stronger than that. We have the power of a level 114 sovereign. He wouldn’t be able to handle us even if he used everything he has.” Said the level 113 Sovereign, the one who was most interested in Minos’ death after Jembei.

He might not have the same ambitions as Jembei, but he was very interested in what might be in Minos’ space ring!

According to rumors already circulating in the guild, Minos had returned very wealthy, and because of the combined strength of his group, many believed he had found some great treasure on his travels.

“It will be a good fight. But he shouldn’t stand a chance against us. His fight against those manticores is proof of that.” Jembei told his companions, even though he admitted how strong Minos was.

“Besides, one of his companions is undergoing the test of the Eternal Fire Flower, one of them lost his energy earlier to deal with the previous enemy, and Minos is already exhausted from fighting the manticores. Once this battle is over, he and his four level 110 allies won’t be in the best fighting condition!”

The seven people looked at each other at Jembei’s words, which were actually quite reasonable.

Dealing with Minos wouldn’t be as easy as it seemed. But they had been expecting it ever since they had heard of his return.

“Let’s continue. I think we have a real chance here.” Said one of the two level 112 Sovereigns in the group as he clenched his fists in determination.

Jembei felt it was time to act as the fifth of the six Fire Manticores died to the group of five attacking them.

He poured his energy into a teleportation crystal attached to himself and his six companions, quickly activating the spatial movement of his group toward the summit of the Eternal Pyre.

In a single instant, they crossed several kilometers and arrived at the place where Minos had just killed the last of the six opponents thrown at him to test him that day.

“You took your time,” Minos said with a smile on his face, startling the newcomers with his unexpected words.
