n‘Tiolos, stay calm and don’t show any reaction. We’re being watched.’ Minos closed his eyes as he pretended to meditate, communicating with the man standing guard at the entrance to their cave.

nThey had stopped there to rest from the previous fight, since the Nautilus’ Compass had indicated that they were more likely to get the best possible result by stopping there.

nBut Tiolos hadn’t expected that, so soon after getting rid of one powerful enemy, they would come across another being on their tail.

n‘How strong is he?’ Tiolos struggled to continue as if nothing had happened.

n‘Yes, level 119.’ Minos said to the man, even though, compared to the previous worm, the individual watching them now was much weaker.

nThe previous worm was at the peak of level 120, close to becoming a level 121 being, while the individual watching them hidden in the surroundings was a ‘newly promoted’ Supreme at level 119. The difference in power between the two was practically two levels.

nHowever, the group was tired, with Wovar already showing signs of vulnerability, while Minos himself was not in his best condition. For this reason, even though his opponent was weaker than the previous one, Minos immediately saw him as a difficult problem to solve.

n‘What’s your plan?’ Tiolos understood Minos’ thinking, although he was relieved that the enemy wasn’t as strong or stronger than the worm from earlier.

n‘Prepare to defend the cave. I’ll send one of the level 115 Supremes the order for him to prepare to fight. But before that, let’s see what this guy does. Any time he gives us will be good for us.’

n‘All right.’ Tiolos agreed.

nMinos ignored his women cultivating to recover from the attacks against the worm earlier and sent a message to one of the level 115 Supremes.

n‘Nar, prepare to sacrifice your Flashdrain parasite.’ Minos’ voice sounded in the mind of a tall, broad-backed man, making him momentarily shiver.

n‘General…’

n‘A level 119 Supreme is watching us. I don’t know what his aim is, but you should prepare yourself. We can’t let anyone spread information about our group through this forest, or risk an ambush from him.’ Minos was quick with his statement, having already foreseen a horrible future before he spoke to Tiolos.

nMinos couldn’t sense Jalgon’s current position, but he knew he had a level 119 enemy keeping an eye on his group. Such a being intended to throw a nearby tribe against them, which would cause them to be surrounded by enemies capable of killing them very soon!

n‘All right. I’m waiting for your orders, General Minos.’ The man didn’t question, confident that this would be necessary or their leader wouldn’t order him to do such a thing.

nIn just five minutes, Minos had communicated with everyone who was keeping an eye on the surroundings, preparing them to protect the group meditating in this cave, and keeping an eye on the development of their plans there.

nNar continued to stand in front of the entrance to his cave, while Minos went back to meditating to recover his energy.

nHalf an hour later, Minos sensed a movement and alerted all his companions on guard at once!

nNar moved, burning the parasite on his forehead, while the others got into position.

nSimultaneously with Nar’s move, Wenni and Walkas appeared near Minos, before setting off towards the level 115 Supreme experiencing the benefits of sacrifice.

nNar went from the beginning of level 115 to the end of level 118 in moments, his speed increasing noticeably amid his pursuit of the hawk-eyed man.

nThe man seemed to be retreating, but Minos knew better. To prevent his group from being surrounded, as that opponent intended to test how strong they were, Minos decided to take down the opponent before anything else.

nIn the blink of an eye, the level 119 man looked back in horror to see the opponent who, a moment ago, was only a level 115 Supreme showing himself to be very close to his cultivation.

nHe immediately understood how Minos’ group had been able to eliminate the level 120 worm and naturally wanted to disappear from that area to send word of the monstrous capabilities of these invaders. A group like this had to be eliminated or, like some plagues that had plagued the continent for millennia, they would take root in this land and make the continent less pure than it already was!

nBut just as he was about to flee, two other Supremes he hadn’t sensed earlier appeared in his path of escape. Neither attacked him, but both combined their powers to form a barrier around him.

n“Shit!” Jalgon cursed his luck at coming across two corpses so strong and aware of their weakness.

nWalkas smiled at seeing a being of that hawk-eyed man’s race again, remembering well how, on several occasions in the past, he had been chased by beings of today’s enemy’s race.

nUsing a little of his skills and a lot of his knowledge, Walkas completely blocked Jalgon’s escape route, giving Nar the time he needed to make his move.

nEven though he was one step below Jalgon, Nar attacked with everything he had in his initial move, intending to knock down or severely injure the enemy in order to neutralize him. As much as there was a slight difference between their levels, the Minos envoy’s action was enough.

nReaching the fleeing man’s back, Nar pierced the enemy’s body with an absorbable weapon, which for a moment looked like a harpoon, but then changed, its structure wrapping around Jalgon’s body with powerful, sturdy chains.

nJalgon bled from his chest, losing all strength in his existence before falling to his knees on the ground, feeling the fearsome power of the absorbable weapon that this Armhands member had obtained on the pirate island.

nBefore he could close his eyes in horror, Minos and Tiolos appeared around him, with the Oqia native punching him in the face, sending him crashing to the ground, knocked out.

nMinos immediately used his skills to trap the man in a time trap, while, without hesitation, stealing part of the being’s cultivation base to give it directly to his men. freёwebnovel.com

n‘This man won’t die from Nar’s blow. No matter how badly he’s been wounded, he’ll be able to recover if we give him the chance. Minos thought to himself, not planning to leave this enemy with the possibility of recovering, but also unwilling to eliminate someone who could be interrogated.

n‘If I give 2% of his cultivation base to some of my men, I’ll give the group a chance to get stronger and make him susceptible to Abby’s interrogation skills.’

nHe moved in such a way, eager to discover the motivations and past of the white-haired enemy.
