The Rise of the Black Plain
2461 Post-Auction
Shortly after receiving the Metamorphosis Core and paying the remaining Qilnats, Minos looked at his group and said. "It's time for us to leave this town and head to the harbor from where we'll continue our journey to Oqia."",
"Shouldn't we absorb these items first?" Callie asked Minos.
"I doubt the bidders in today's auction will allow us to do that. Most of them must have better contacts in this city than we do, so we won't be able to do much after today. If we want to continue with our plans, we'll have to leave the city and fight them." Minos answered the doubts in the hearts of his companions.
"Won't it be dangerous? There are many aliens watching us," Grisdi said worriedly, aware they were no longer in The Enchanted Realm, where everyone of their group would be a high-level warrior at their current levels.
"It will be dangerous." Minos smiled. "But our chances aren't bad. This will be a good test for us to define our strengths against the really powerful Zocarro cultivators. Our experience in The Enchanted Realm galaxy isn't enough to tell us how strong we are here."
Everyone in the group had expected to face immense dangers when they left Ganaway Sanctuary for Oqia. The sea between the island and the mainland was extremely rough and dangerous, with dangers capable of killing even high-ranking sovereigns.
Considering this alone, dealing with a group of mid-level Sovereigns didn't seem too difficult to them, despite the uncertainties they had in their hearts.
"Let's do it!" Lily said as she clenched her fists in determination.
With the others nodding and agreeing, they left the VIP room after Minos' explanation, while other people who had acquired artifacts at the auction left the area in a hurry.
Those who hadn't managed to buy anything, most of the visitors to the auction house that night, just watched for the moment.
Aware of how powerful and dominant the force behind the island was, maintaining order in the area's cities with an iron fist, those interested in taking action after the auction simply watched the night's winners from a distance.
'What are they going to do?' wondered a level 106 equine alien who had lost the technique Minos had bought for Lily.
Meanwhile, the level 109 alien who had just been defeated by Minos looked at the guy from a distance and then went after the group.
'I want to see where these resources of yours came from. If you didn't earn it yourself, I'll take everything you bought today!' This powerful guy thought as his three companions followed behind him.
In less than 10 minutes after the auction ended, the group of event participants with cultivation levels between level 105 and level 109 hurriedly left the city and headed south to Ganaway Refuge.
The city they were in was very large, as it was the place where people interested in the artificial moon went to and from. Therefore, it would take them a little longer to reach a non-urban area of the island where they could fight without worrying about the local forces.
Some of the city guards had noticed the post-auction movement, but as strict as they were about preventing trouble in their domains, their job was mainly within the cities.
Given the fact that most of the island's guards were only mid-level Sovereigns, none of these individuals would interfere in the affairs of a group leaving the city without causing trouble.
Some would just look at the various mid-level Sovereigns heading south with interest, wondering what the results of the post-auction disputes would be.
...
Less than half an hour after leaving the auction house, Minos' group hit a patch of greenery in the region, leaving behind the grandiose urban sprawl they had been in earlier.
As soon as they were far enough away from the last built-up area of the city to avoid attracting the attention of the city guards, Minos slowed down until his entire group came to a halt.
They stopped in the middle of the forest they were in, a mountainous area with areas of gigantic trees, but also lawns and hills with huge bare rocks.
In this place, where there were no powerful beings other than those who had just moved in, the group came into formation, with Minos looking around and noticing his many guests.
He smiled and shouted for all to hear. "Fellows, I sense you want a chance to take what I have, right? Hehe, I see no problem with that. It's a universal behavior.
But if you want to take what I have, I'm afraid you'll have to fight to the death! Please, show us what you're made of!"
The over 150 people watching Minos' group in the surrounding area narrowed their eyes as they hesitated.
Minos' behavior earlier had been strange enough. But to stop in the middle of a place like this and confront them like this seemed unreal.
Some of them felt shivers running down their spines at Minos' words, doubting his sanity while fearing it wouldn't be interesting to go ahead with their ambitions.
'Something is wrong here.' One of the more insecure thought to himself, 'Why is he so calm?'
'I'd better wait for the strongest to move first. If there's a chance for those like me to get something, I'll join the fight.' thought a level 107 alien.
Minos' companions looked around curiously, not seeing a single soul move forward after the first 10 seconds of their leader's speech.
Hollie smiled to herself, thinking that maybe they would get out of this situation without having to fight.
'If that happens, it will be a good story to tell our friends in the Spiritual World in the future.' She continued to wait for something to happen, smiling amidst the tension of the surrounding beings.
"Nobody?" Even Minos couldn't believe how long it took them to make up their minds and wondered if that wasn't the right way to behave in situations like this.
'Who knew? All it takes is one person to act with courage and confidence to frighten so many high-ranking warriors? Tsk! If I had known this before, I would have avoided problems in the past.' He laughed as he saw the strongest in the area looking at each other, but none of them moved in front of the others.
