The Rise of the Black Plain

Upon hearing what Barbara had just said, quickly, each of those people had new sparkles in their eyes, hoping to escape this hell.

Most of them did not even want to know how it happened. It did not matter how these two women had managed to escape and why they were trying to help them.

The only thing that mattered was that this was the light at the end of the tunnel that some of them were asking!

Those with Black talent, who were already in the 5th stage of cultivation, were also thrilled. Still, their curiosity could not be ignored, as it was with these other individuals.

They were wondering how these two women, who were supposed to be having a terrible time, becoming human cauldrons, could be free and well!

And it was at the moment when the two women had already released most of them from the arrays around their necks that Milton asked. "Robin, how did you two manage to escape?"

"We don't even know how it happened, but our collars that sealed our cultivation just broke. After that, we come here." The young blonde with a small body responded promptly at the same time as she freed a few more people.

As for Peter and Joey, both were also there beside Milton, listening carefully to everything Robin said. They were also curious about the unexpected escape of these two, but also how the situation was out there.

They could guess the situation was pretty chaotic from the noises they could hear, and they did not know how dangerous it would be to flee this place.

Unlike Barbara and Robin, who needed to be full of energy to cultivate with Kevin,  these less talented men and women are at their worst.

Various of them sustained severe injuries due to an 'educational' session held just a few hours earlier. And not only that but they also were denied the opportunity to cultivate, which was something critical for their recovery...

And in a setting like this, in an enemy base and in a place that was being invaded by foreign forces, they could not just stop to rest and cultivate in this place.

That would be dangerous, and these people were not willing to sit back and wait for the situation to resolve itself!

Who knows, maybe they would never have another chance to escape the miserable fate of slavery!

Barbara then made a quick comment, trying to synthesize how the situation was outside that building. "The battle outside was very balanced at first, but it looks like the invaders will win. We also didn't have to fight any of them to get here, but some of the invaders even helped us defeat guards of this base."

"Maybe they want to increase the turmoil?" Joey muttered under his breath, trying to make sense of the situation.

It would not be uncommon for an invader not to act against enslaved people of the power into what they were invading, and this could create some chances for them.

But it also did not mean the invaders would help them.

Finally, the dozens of people in that place were all freed, quickly leaving that area and heading out of the building.

...

While those people began to leave that main building of this base, at the back of that place, at this moment, there were two men and a fox standing there, at the same time, in which several battles were taking place in the vicinity.

Several of Minos' soldiers had already eliminated those standard guards from this place and were now banding together in larger groups to face those powerful subordinates of the Chambers family.

And while his soldiers did their teamwork successfully, the battle of Minos and Jamie was finally over.

Right now, Emlyn was sitting just a few meters away from them as she watched the young Stuart standing on top of that man, with his right foot pressing into the man's throat.

Jamie was now completely disfigured, with one arm missing and the remaining half halfway through. One of his legs had also been amputated. Several cuts were visible in this Spiritual King's armor, specifically on his chest.

Minos' sword had been wholly lost, but Emlyn had helped him in the fight, using her sharp spiritual beast's claws to cut the man's chest several times.

And after so many injuries, Jamie was entirely weakened, with no more reserves of spiritual energy and as pale as a white sheet, due to the excessive blood loss.

Finally, Minos looked into this man's eyes one last time before saying something and using another sword to cut off Jamie's head.

"It was a good fight. You gave us a lot of work..."

After that, Minos looked across the battlefield and saw that most of the guards in this place had already died, but some of his allies had turned against him.

'Well, you can't expect anything different from people like these. They're just after the Spring of Life after all…' He thought for a moment as he walked to that spot beside Emlyn.

"Emlyn, save my soldiers who are in danger. You can do it?"

"Okay, since I'm already out here, I don't mind taking care of these humans." She said this as she was walking and swinging her six tails.

She was happy to be able to go out and fight in this place. It was very monotonous to be all the time in the Spatial Kingdom, with her strength increasing, but without her being able to go out and test it in a real fight...

And like many spiritual beasts, Emlyn could not ignore that feeling, the passion for fights. She was not a maniac who would lose her consciousness to these extinct, these primal needs of her being, as she had very high rationality.

But she could not deny that she liked to fight...

And because of that, she was more than happy to resolve the situation that Minos and his soldiers were in right now.

As for those people who turned against Minos' forces, these were just over half of the 30 people who had pursued Kevin previously.

Not all of them had agreed with the suggestion of the young master of the Chambers family, as they thought the risk would be much more significant for them if they did.

Minos and his group might be unknown, and these people did not know if they were sincere, but Kevin was still much more dangerous from their point of view.

They knew how dangerous the Chambers family was and how they handled this kind of situation. If Kevin survived, these people did not doubt that their lives would be at risk!

As a result, some, like Davy's sister, Vivian, had not switched sides in the middle of the battle and continued to press Kevin's side.

...

While Minos was walking through that area, eating some spiritual grapes, at this moment, Kevin and Vivian were facing each other.

The other people who had previously been on Vivian's side were now fighting Minos' soldiers and those other pursuers who had not yet changed sides.

As for these two bodyguards, Clive and Samuel, they were also battling at this time, not far from where those two youths fought.

Anyway, Kevin was very pale at this point, but he did not have any severe injuries on his body. He was just excessively tired due to the various high-level fights he'd had so far.

On the other hand, Vivan looked much worse than he did, having a few cuts here and there that would make a viewer of this fight question whether or not she could continue.

"That day, you almost killed me, bitch!" Kevin brandished at her, pointing his gun in her direction, already preparing to deliver the final blow to this fight.

He did not intend to kill her, as he had other plans for Vivian...

And seeing and hearing this, the young woman from the Hayes family had a look of disgust on her face for not being able to beat this despicable person in front of her.

For her, worst of all was not what someone like Kevin could do to her if she lost, but the fact that her beloved friend would probably die without the Spring of Life!

'Damn it!'

And when Kevin jumped towards her, trying to land his last blow on that girl's chest, suddenly something strange happened in that place.

When he was inches away from touching Vivian's body, the entire area around Kevin and this young woman stopped. Simultaneously, a person dressed in a black cloak appeared in that space between them.

A black ring circled right above those people, while the suppression in their bodies prevented them from making any movement.

At this point in the fight, when the opponents were almost exhausted from the long battle that had taken place, Minos was finally showing the terrifying thing about the Devourer Art.

The main point of this technique was not that it just stole energy from living beings and spiritual arrays in a given area.

No, this was not the point. The main thing was that as long as its user did not run out of power, it could be activated at any time, allowing its user to fight for as long as there were targets to have their energy swallowed!
