The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2594  Key Points of the Experiment 

Minos and his companions shielded themselves from the powerful light emanating from the crystal. Meanwhile, only the two Supremes saw the entire reaction of the crystal with the decomposing corpse.

It all happened quickly, but for the eyes of these experts, it was easy to see the smallest details in rapid reactions.

They saw how the black liquid separated from the body of the corpse and entered the small shiny amulet. At the same time, the entire body of the level 115 Supreme dissolved. It turned into a bluish liquid that also entered the shiny crystal.

As the entire corpse disappeared, with Minos' undead soul dissipating into the air. Then, the crystal stopped glowing, no longer absorbing anything as it turned completely black.

The level 118 elder moved and appeared next to the crystal, checking the state of the morgens' item before touching it.

As the amulet was stable and safe to wear, he picked it up while Minos and the others were finally no longer protected from the earlier glow.

Minos looked at the Elder's hand, spotted Segiel's amulet, and breathed a sigh of relief. The ideal would have been to take the body with them for further observation and study. But the most important thing was the safety of the precious black liquid.

'Judging by the Elder's expression, we managed to keep what was most important.' Minos walked over to the Elder, ignoring the many corpses around.

All the sect members based in the Judgement Tower had died in the battle that had lasted until a few moments ago, or had been blinded by the bright light from earlier. Now, only a fraction of the force was left to be eliminated before the group left.

But Minos wasn't worried about killing the remaining Sovereigns. As the two Generals moved to complete their mission, Minos stopped next to the level 118 Supreme and retrieved the artifact containing the black liquid.

"We could recover 100% of the black liquid. Excellent," Minos said as he scanned the amulet.

"Your mission here is over. You and your companions must return to the guild. For now, I bid you farewell." The Elder was quick with his words, leaving the area as speedily as he had appeared at the critical moment of the battle.

Minos glanced in the Elder's direction, not having a chance to thank the Elder before he could no longer see the old stranger.

Stowing Segiel's amulet in his spatial ring, he saw the last beings die at the hands of the two Generals. Seizing the moment, Minos moved to gather the resources of this force, something that belonged to the sect, as they were on an official mission to deal with the local forces during the experiment on the level 115 corpse.

The two would join Minos in collecting everything of value in the area, until five minutes later, the individual temporarily at level 117 would take them away, using the time in the 12th stage to get them out of this dangerous area quickly.

As much as the sect in that area was the greatest danger, and now that it had been destroyed, there might be allies of that force nearby, or even powerful creatures vying with each other for dominance over the area.

Not wanting to get involved in the ensuing disputes or other matters of the guild's war against the coalition led by Firestone Mines, they quickly left.

...

Days later, news of the fall of the Judgement Tower spread throughout the central region, shocking the many native and foreign cities in the area.

The death of three Supremes was not a common occurrence. Even when there were 12th stage battles, it wasn't uncommon for one side to escape.

But the Judgement Tower-based force not only lost its leader, it was completely annihilated.

The entire region trembled at the news of Minos and his group's actions, while the trio made their way to Examire peacefully and quietly.

By now, the General who had sacrificed his parasite was in his weakened form, being carried by Minos and the other General. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luckily for him, they were only two days away from Examire, and his companions were able to stop almost all the threats that existed on the continent.

Meanwhile, Minos and the General carried him, chatting as they made their final journey back to the guild.

...

"What did you get out of watching the Supreme's corpse?" The Commander's trusted man asked as he flew ahead of the group.

Minos pondered for a moment and said. "We can say that it's not safe for us to use the corpse above level 114 without the help of one of the sect's elders. If it weren't for the Elder, we would have been hunted down and forced to flee, losing all the black liquid from the corpse.

So either we wait until Abby and I get stronger to improve our control over them, or in the short term, we have to be careful about using corpses above level 114.

However, a corpse like that could live for years without me having to use my divine ability or the black urns. Also, their combat power is above their level. It's possible that the level 115 corpse could even take on a level 117 opponent."

That was impressive, something precious about the Judgement Tower experiment.

Minos sighed as he finished his analysis. "The worst part of all this is that I think we would need ten times more black liquid to make this corpse advance just two more levels. But I don't know if we have that much black liquid."

From this experiment, he was pretty sure his group wouldn't be able to cultivate Sovereign to Supreme corpses stronger than level 117.

However, whether this would limit them to strengthening and improving Supreme corpses in the future, they couldn't be sure. For now, they could only hope to strengthen Minos and Abby.

"I see. That's not bad. With corpses in this state, it would be enough for us to win many battles and save the Elders' powers. Just stopping one corpse is much easier than dealing with several Supremes alone!" The General said, knowing the corpse's enemies had weakened it before the Elder had finished it.

Therefore, the previous situation had been the best possible one for Armhands' group!
