Chapter 1173 Intention

Three weeks later...

After the previous situation with the members of the Spiritual Church of this region and members of large regional organizations, Minos confirmed his agreements with those Bishops.

At the same time, each of those nobles or members of the regional royalty had sent messages to their powers regarding what had happened in the royal palace of Minos.

They were on this dangerous journey together, so none of them failed to alert their more powerful companions about those points.

And with that, Minos and his family were preparing to leave the Black Plain, settling the last matters in Dry City.

Abby was still sleeping in the Spatial Kingdom, but no one was worried about her situation since all this was already expected.

With that, the Elite Squad soldiers who were training in the Spatial Kingdom and most of the royal family's beasts left that place to return to Black Plain.

Besides Abby, the only living beings that continued to live there at this point were Maida and Kyla.

With this trip to the Flaming Empire that Minos was about to make, he had decided to allow the Nine-tailed Fox to accompany him.

She was already level 57, very close to becoming a Spiritual Emperor, having enough strength to accompany Minos' group.

As for Emlyn, level 62, she would stay to take care of the Black Plain alongside Dillian and was not worried about having to part with her daughter.

She knew Minos very well and knew that Kyla would not be at risk of being at his side.

And so, the time for their journey was approximating, with Minos making his last territory inspection today, the day before his departure.

...

Meanwhile, in an area in the vicinity of the capital of the Black Plain, a young man with blood-colored hair and eyes was floating on the outskirts, looking down with interest.

The vertical scar in the middle of his forehead trembled from time to time as he smiled, feeling that this place indeed was, as the rumors said.

'The energy here is much better than the rest of this region...' He pondered as he felt the natural spiritual fluctuation of the surroundings and remembered the things he had seen in the past few days.

Minos was on his land, so it was fair that he should have a little pride and act by his position. This red-haired man understood this. But the usual thing in situations like these was for the weaker side to show respect for the other, even in the case of a misunderstanding.

Thus, he found this local reception strange.

"I was traveling through the Black Plain and realized how good this place is..." He looked into Minos' eyes and said aloud. "I have decided to live here for the time being. I hope you guys don't mind."

"Oh? Bother? Of course not. All you have to do is sign a commitment to the Black Plain, and naturally, we will welcome you." Minos smiled. "Otherwise, you can get the hell off my land!"

"What if I don't want to?" He let a little of his fighting intent spread to the surroundings to threaten these people. "I heard that the Archbishop of the Spiritual Church in this region is in Dry City. Is she the one to give you that courage?"

The people in the surrounding area looked seriously at that individual, realizing that although he was arrogant to stand in front of all of them, he knew what he was doing.

He was not a fool!

"Naturally, no. How would I let a pregnant woman protect my territory?" Minos casually commented, releasing some of his murderous intent, only for that fellow to feel the terror.

"That..." He looked more seriously at Minos, sensing that from someone younger than him for the first time in his life. 'Who is this person? How many has he killed to get to that?'

Murderous intent was not a simple thing. It was not enough to kill to achieve such a thing. No, one who wanted to have strong killing intent needed to kill opponents one at a time.

That is, using a technique that kills dozens at once would not serve to develop murderous intent as much as slow, cruel killings would.

The victim's situation was all-important for such a thing, and the more aware he was of his death, the better it was to strengthen the killer's killing intent.

As Minos had not only killed many people but directly eliminated many of them, one at a time, his killing intent was particularly impressive.

And this fellow understood this the most since he had already butchered a few tens of thousands.

With that, it did not take long for his blood to start boiling, and he put up a fighting stance to experience the powers of this cruel person in front of him.

"If you beat me in a fight, I will sign whatever deal you want." He said loudly as a red mist began to leave his body.
