The Rise of the Black Plain-Chapter 2314 Return to Headquarters

Later that day, Rhett and the group of Armhands survivors who had entered The Obsidian Shore arrived at the town where the Level 114 General was waiting for them.

The moment the aura of someone who had sacrificed their Flashdrain parasite appeared in that place, the level 114 being moved, crossed the space, quickly appearing among Minos' companions.

Several other high-ranking Sovereigns like him moved as well, sensing that these people had released the terrifying aura from a moment ago.

The General looked at Minos' body with an angry expression, feeling that someone had forced this young man to do something stupid.

But before punishing his guild members, he couldn't help but look around and say with hatred in his voice. "Anyone who tries to come near us will die." As he said this, a symbol in the shape of a golden snake appeared on his forehead.

The Guild Council members' flashdrain mark was transparent. However, when these individuals prepared to use their parasite sacrifice, it would glow golden.

The higher up in the hierarchy the Armhands member was, the stronger the Flashdrain effect would be as the parasite grew with its host. In other words, the Flashdrain sacrifice of someone with this General's level of strength would be much stronger than that of internal or external guild members!

Those in the area knew this and that one of the main things that made Armhands one of the most powerful forces on the continent was the alien parasites that the guild's founder had brought to this world.

However, not only was this something capable of suppressing several of these high-ranking Sovereigns, but the fact that Minos had previously used the valuable resource Armhands wanted also helped them remain calm in the face of that guy's warning.

"Rhett, what the hell happened?" The General asked.

"General, members of the Silverdawn attacked us. If Minos hadn't done what he did, we'd all be dead by now." Rhett tried to help Minos.

"What? Those bastards attacked you? Why?" This level 114 Sovereign didn't understand.

"I don't know. They attacked Minos. They said they wanted something he got for himself at The Obsidian Shore." Rhett replied sincerely.

He liked Minos because of the soldier's potential. But he wouldn't stop telling the General the whole truth. At least he had to make it clear that this whole situation had nothing to do with him...

"The fact is that they were already waiting for Minos to leave The Obsidian Shore. I think it was quite deliberate, General."

"Damn Silverdawn rats!" The man growled but didn't have time to deal with that problem now.

He picked up Minos' body and said. "Let's go back to the guild. I'll take care of this after I leave you there."

They began to fly away while this General analyzed Minos' body, searching for anything that could have justified the betrayal of these Silverdawn members.

But he found nothing. Except for a few strange tattoos here and there on Minos' body, the high-ranking Sovereign would find nothing on this body.

He tried to probe Minos' spatial ring, but the moment he did, he felt the restriction left by Emperor Stuart. As much as he wanted to know what was inside, he didn't risk it. Even though he was the strongest there, he might accidentally damage the device and harm his own guild's resources.

Minos had used the black liquid before, but the General knew there was more to the Black Heart mission. He still hoped that his guild had gotten something from the entrance to The Obsidian Shore!

After checking this out, he made Minos and the other survivors drink recovery potions.

Since Minos was unconscious, it would take a while for him to recover and come out of it. In the meantime, they would fly at high speed toward the guild's territory.

...

Meanwhile, tens of kilometers away from this city...

Two beings, one at level 110 and the other at level 108, had just landed near a river.

Both were natives of Zocarro, but they had tattoos of snakes on their heads, indicating that they were members of the Armhands.

But they didn't look normal. As they groaned as they crawled to the riverbank, much of their bodies had been consumed.

Their auras looked completely different from before, while a down look pervaded their eyes.

With every movement they made, the ground they touched turned purple, and the plants died slowly but fast enough for a being to see their decomposition with the naked eye.

One of them couldn't take it longer and died halfway to the lake, leaving behind a highly deadly corpse.

The stronger of the two saw this, and what little rationality he had disappeared before he approached the corpse and began to devour it!

His look changed after he started eating the body of the level 108 young master, but one instinct remained in his corrupted existence.

The image of Minos was the last thing on this creature's mind!

After devouring the body of level 108, he looked up to the sky and opened his mouth to let out a high-pitched scream, something like a promise that he would one day take revenge on the enemy who had put him in this situation.

...

Three weeks had elapsed since the battle when Minos' people left The Obsidian Shore.

After all that time, Minos' party was already halfway to the Armhands' headquarters, as the level 114 General's speed was much faster than what their party had traveled on the way to The Obsidian Shore.

Minos awoke today from his unconscious state, causing the group leader to change their plans and stop at a suitable place for them to talk about what had happened in The Obsidian Shore and on the way out of that region.

The whole group quickly sat down by a lake before the General asked when he saw Minos' eyes.

"Soldier Minos, explain to me your motives for wasting such a precious resource." Minos gazed into the General's eyes, and the bewilderment on his expression vanished as he recalled what had transpired before.
