The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 43: An Idiot

The young blond man looked at Minos with an expression of contempt. At the same time, the young Stuart had a confused expression on his face. 'Did I contact your woman? Who is this guy talking about?'

Minos was not afraid because although he did not know his opponent's strength, he was still sure that this blond young man did not pass the beginning of the 5th stage of cultivation, General Spiritual. This is because if it were stronger, then there would be no need for the spiritual array that was previously activated.

This young man was probably trying to separate Minos from his soldiers, so he shouldn't be that strong. And even if it were the case that it was someone Minos couldn't handle, then he could still escape to the Spatial Kingdom.

Minos looked at the young blond man, wearing a silver robe and seemed to be preparing to attack him. He then started talking while his brows were constricted. "Ehh, did you say you are going to teach me a lesson? Can I know what your name is and who is this woman I contacted?"

'Does this guy have any relationship with Elena? But I haven't even done anything with her yet, and we were accompanied by other people all the time…' Minos thought to himself while waiting for an answer from the young man in front of him.

When Luke heard Minos's question, he laughed and said. "Haha, so you mess with other people's woman and still ask who I am, huh? But that's okay. I'm going to give you the pleasure of knowing my name!"

"I am the young master of the Nash family, Luke Nash!"

"So? Scared of whom you dared to provoke?" Young Luke asked with a smirk on his face.

'The young master of the Nash family?' Minos thought to himself.

He didn't have much information about this person, but he had heard from Elena that the Nash family had two young masters. However, she had not gone into detail about anything important about them.

"Are you not mistaking me for someone? I just arrived in this city, and I haven't met many people here. Elena was the only woman I spent more time with, but she didn't tell me that she had a boyfriend. Maybe that's what you're talking about?" Minos asked with a trace of curiosity on his face.

Upon hearing this, Luke felt an even greater urge to hit this guy in front of him.

He then started to speak with even more anger, to the point of screaming like crazy. "Elena? Don't play dumb. You know very well that I'm not talking about that woman. Enough talk. If I don't spank you until you're half dead, then I won't be able to have peace."

'This guy is an idiot! If it is not Elena, then there is no one else with whom I came into contact...'

'Well, he will serve as my fighting partner until that array falls apart. Hitting a lunatic shouldn't be bad…' Minos thought calmly, shaking his head from side to side while watching Luke's absurd behavior.

After that, Luke quickly activated his attack technique, Assassin's Claws, which created a blade of energy in the user's hands. This was a Black-grade technique specializing in hand-to-hand fighting.

Indestructible Body!

Devouring Art!

Meanwhile, Minos activated his own defense and support techniques. Almost immediately, a black circumference formed over the area isolated by the spiritual array.

Luke didn't know, but using this array was a double mistake for him because Minos was his enemy!

With the Devouring Art, not only was the spiritual energy of Minos' enemies sucked but the energy contained in the array would also be sucked in. This was simply because spiritual arrays used spiritual energy to function.

Thus, although it could not affect the part of the energy of the array that was already in operation, Minos could consume the energy stored in it, reducing the time of operation of the array and weakening it.

Not long ago, when he was still in the Portland area, the young Darell's defensive array had been broken both by the attacks it received and by the Devoured Art of Minos, which was draining its reserves.

Jumping the Mountain!

Luke activated his movement technique shortly thereafter. He didn't want to let his enemy last any longer. He wanted to immobilize Minos and then torture him until the spiritual array he had set up stopped working.

Whoosh!

Then, Luke quickly jumped in front of Minos and made several blows towards the young man's belly in front of him.

When Luke's blade-filled hands approached his opponent's 'helpless' body, he slowly curved his lips upward.

'It's over...' Luke thought to himself.

Poof!

However, to Luke's surprise, his attack was completely stopped on Minos' body. It seemed that his enemy's flesh was as hard as a high-level spiritual weapon!

Then, Luke's pupils opened in shock as a thought passed through his mind. 'What the fuck! How can he have such a sturdy body, being only at level 33?'

At the same time, Minos smiled when he saw the blades of energy touching his abdomen while leaving tears in the clothes he wore. He then removed a sword from his spatial ring and began to attack.

Spatial Sword!

Minos did not give Luke time to breathe by activating his own attack technique. The surrounding space quickly started to stop, while Luke had his speed reduced.

Minos then made a move with his sword, delivering a blow in the direction of Luke's right arm.

Swooish!

When he saw this attack coming towards him, Luke cursed Minos in his mind while activating his defense and movement techniques at the same time. He could not take this blow lightly because this attack was even stronger than his by Luke's!

'Damn it! How can this be? Why is this guy so strong?' He thought to himself as he tried to escape Minos's coup.

The blow passed quickly over the right side of Luke's body. He had barely avoided it, but it had cost him a lot. After all, activating two techniques for someone at level 40 was still not easy. This certainly required a lot of spiritual energy, something he did not have yet, to be able to fight at high intensity for a long time.

'Phew! Ah! I almost got it right! However, this wretch must have spent everything he had on this technique…'

Luke said with a smile on his face. "Haha, this one you didn't expect, huh? And now, will you be able to launch another one of these?"

However, while young Luke laughed happily, Minos made another movement with the sword while running towards him.

Spatial Sword!

Swooish!

Minos's blade quickly started to approach Luke's straight shoulder.

'Disgrace! How can he do that?' The young master of the Nash family thought to himself while having his speed severely reduced.

Steel Shield!

Luke promptly activated his defensive technique with all of his remaining spiritual energy.

He knew that with his condition, if he used two techniques simultaneously, he would not be successful this time. That way, he could only defend himself against this attack!

Crash!

Minos' sword and Luke's shield briefly touched, but shortly thereafter, Luke could not hold on to this attack and be thrown backward, hitting his back hard against a wall.

"Aaaaah!"

Pow!

Minos lowered his sword after seeing this. He was almost exhausted and had beads of sweat all over his face. Although he could use his opponent's energy, it was not easy to fight with such a difference in levels!

'It looks like he is completely exhausted.' When he thought that, Minos looked towards the spiritual array that was beginning to exhibit several lines of cracks in the air.

Meanwhile, Minos was walking towards the young Luke, who was in a miserable state, with many cuts in his luxurious clothing and blood covering his right shoulder.

He was in a prone position while spitting out a mouth full of blood. Clearly, the previous blow had caused damage to his internal organs. Luke then thought as he looked at the cracks in the air. 'Good thing the array is ??almost breaking! If it took much longer, who knows what this monster could do to me…'

Minos stopped in front of him and asked with a serious face. "What is the name of the girl you were talking about before?"

Luke looked at Minos with an expression of fear. "Elen Nash."

After hearing this, Minos opened his mouth in surprise. 'Eh? It seems that I was not wrong. This guy is stupid!'

"Well, I don't have that kind of relationship with Miss Elen, but since you attacked me, I will keep all of your belongings in your spatial ring," Minos said with a smile on his face as he quickly picked up a ring that was on one of the fingers of young Luke's right hand.

"What? You can't do that. These are the Nash family's belongings!" Luke brandished in an appealing voice.

"Hmm, I know that. But it's your fault for challenging someone like me." Minos smiled as he kept the ring inside his own.

Crack!

After that, the spiritual array collapsed, and Minos headed towards the stairs to return to the first floor. He was curious to see if those people at the concierge had caused any problems for his group.
