The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 232: Start of Attack

Upon disappearing from that forest near the Chambers family's base, Minos immediately teleported into the Spatial Kingdom.

The space near the house of that realm vibrated as Minos quickly appeared nearby. He looked solemn, and as soon as he got there, he ran towards the spot where he felt Emlyn was.

At the same time, the big fox was beside her daughter, near the lake in that place. Both were drinking water, cooling off from the heat it was making inside the Spatial Kingdom.

"Hah, how refreshing!" Tiny Kyla commented to her mother, speaking her characteristic beast language.

Although the heat was not excessive, it was still enough to make a person sweat when one made some more sudden movements. This was caused by the spatial distortion present in places like this, where several light beams were concentrated in a small area.

Consequently, Spatial Kingdoms used to be much warmer than the rest of the Spiritual World, having a climate that would be close to tropical.

Anyway, soon the big six-tailed fox noticed the arrival of Minos, who was currently running towards her. He wore the black cloak from before, along with the mask that covered part of his face.

"Looks like the time has come… It was quick. Apparently, he didn't have too many problems." Emlyn thought to herself as she finished drinking a large amount of the spiritual water from that lake.

She then started walking with her fox footsteps while several drops of water could be seen falling from the sides of her mouth, with her black muzzle glistening due to moisture.

"Au! Au!"

And quickly, Kyla started running towards Minos, barking at him as if she were welcoming him. He hadn't been here for a few days, so tiny Kyla could already miss being fed by the young Stuart.

Seeing this, Minos quickly massaged the smaller fox's head as he spoke to Emlyn. "It's time to go. I think I'll need your help."

"Oh? Okay, come on." She quickly agreed when she promptly warned her daughter, speaking in a language that Kyla could understand. "Little Kyla, mom is going out with Minos for a while, but don't make a mess, OK?"

"Can I go too?"

"No." After that, little Kyla ran towards the house while her three little tails swung, leaving a small space where one could see that a new tail was about to form!

Anyway, soon Minos and Emlyn departed the Spatial Kingdom, returning to where young Stuart had left earlier. ????????????????????????????. ????૦????

With that, upon appearing in that forest that was already darkened by this time, Emlyn promptly began to probe the surroundings while trying to know the terrain. "Where are we going? And where is your group?" She asked, still turning her head from side to side, sometimes sniffing out certain scents that came from there.

Hearing this question, Minos started to go back to where those nearly 90 people were as he began to explain to Emlyn. "The place we are going to attack is just ahead, about 10 kilometers from where we are. As for my group, they are on standby near that place."

"Oh? And this time, how will we act? Do you want me to hide and sneak attack?"

Minos nodded his head in agreement and said. "That's right. There's no reason for us to give our full strength right away. I will destroy the defensive barrier of that place. When that happens, the Spiritual King of that base must come out to attack the one responsible for it."

"At this point, when he comes to fight me, wait until he lets his guard down while he fights me and then attacks him by surprise."

"OK. Are you sure you can handle a Spiritual King?" The mother fox asked doubtfully.

She trusted Minos and knew how strong his techniques were. Still, in a battle, there were always too many variables, and the unexpected could happen. Because of this, she was worried that he wanted to stay in this bait position so she could take out the enemy more easily.

He then said confidently. "Don't worry, I know I can defend myself. The problem is that we can't let these people getaway. Since we're going to attack this place, everyone on that base must die!"

Eliminating enemies was always the best way to act in situations like this. If any member of the Chambers family survived, even if it were still difficult for them to be traced, that possibility would be even greater with survivors.

In this case, to avoid the worst chances, stopping fugitives from that base was the best thing for Minos and his territory.

As for the allies he had just gathered, well, he had no choice but to do with this. First, these people had their own problems, like having to flee after attacking a Chambers family's base.

Hence, they certainly couldn't chase young Stuart's group!

The safest course of action for these people was to flee immediately if one of them obtained the Spring of Life, proceeding directly to their respective family headquarters, where they would be safe from retaliation by the Chambers.

As for the rest, the losers, or they would continue chasing the Spring of Life, or they would have to flee too. Reinforcements from the Chambers family were already on their way, and staying here too long could be very dangerous!

Second, even if these people wanted to cause Minos and his subordinates trouble, young Stuart still couldn't do anything about it. These persecutors were here even before he arrived. Unless he eliminated them, these people would still see everything that was going to happen here...

As for eliminating them, that would also be tricky. Minos' forces could barely handle those at that base, so he could forget about ending the lives of these viewers/allies.

Anyway, Minos was putting himself in a bait position just to lessen that Spiritual King's chances of getting away since he was the only one on that base who could do so.

Emlyn couldn't run at full speed, given the absence of one of her paws. At the same time, Minos was still only a Spiritual General. Therefore, his speed was less than that of a Spiritual King, even considering the difference in the degrees of his technique and that of his opponent.

With that, taking that Spiritual King by surprise, Minos wanted to finish with any chance of escape!

"I see… It's okay. I'm going to hide in the neighborhood, so he doesn't feel me the moment the barrier is broken. It's also good that you make it clear that you broke that array by yourself. Otherwise, he'll try to find another culprit... Me."

"Hmm, I know that. If he comes looking for you, our plan won't work." Minos nodded just before the two separated.

He went straight to the front of that base, surrounded by red walls with black star symbols, while the big fox began to circle the adjacent terrain.

And when appearing in front of that place, simultaneously all the people in the attack group noticed it and started to pay attention to Minos.

The Spring of Life's 30 or so pursuers had different thoughts in mind, with some questioning why Minos left for a while and then came back as if nothing had happened. And others were curious about what he was doing in front of that base's gate.

"Why did he leave just now? Is he trying to hide something?" Vivian murmured to herself, looking steadily at the man in the black cloak, who was alone in front of that entrance gate.

At the same time, the young man who had commented that he would be the one with the Spring of Life then commented in mockery. "Oh? It looks like this guy thinks he can destroy a barrier produced by a grade-2, low-level array, hehehe. What gives him all this confidence?"

"Hah, now the youths are getting more and more arrogant…" One of the level 49 bodyguards there commented in a low and disappointed voice as he watched the young Stuart.

At the same time, when the 30 or so pursuers had doubts about what would happen, Minos' subordinates and traveling companions had their questions too.

They knew that Minos could break through a barrier like the one in this place with relative ease, as they had all seen it happen in the city of Hadia. However, they didn't understand why young Stuart had walked away from them earlier, to some point where they couldn't examine where he was!

"What's he planning?" Abby wondered dubiously, trying to decipher Minos' figure.
