Chapter 2804 Parts of a True Celestial
The blind, hairless adversaryunched his assault on Minos with terrifying precision, his weapon slicing through the air. As he attacked, ck lines and arcane symbols coalesced around him, weaving a unique and formidable domain.
Minos felt the surrounding area be imprable, as if the moment his opponent arrived, this space had transformed into the blind alien''s personal dimension.
Impressed by his enemy''s disy of power, Minos recognized it as a likely manifestation of the four True Celestial body parts fueling the alien''s abilities.
Despite his own mastery over dimensional maniption and profound understanding of time and space, Minos knew he couldn''t break his opponent''s hold. Yet, this didn''t overly concern him. Being trapped in the same environment as his enemy wasn''t necessarily a death sentence.
A smile ying on his lips, Minos activated his own powers,manding the 12 high-level Supremes to form a protective formation around Abby, Gloria, and Ruth. Instantly, his cultivation surged to the zenith of level 124, a fact that didn''t surprise his attacker in the least.
However, as the blind man''s weapon descended, poised to cleave Minos in two, the newly-arrived alien''s expression shifted to one of surprise.
His opponent had parried the lethal strike with a single hand.
Silver and obsidian mes erupted from Minos'' hand, morphing it into a muscr dragon appendage. Simultaneously, a crown and cloak of darkness materialized around his form.
The Nautilus'' Compass sprang to life, illuminating potential attack vectors. Minos selected his target, focusing on a lethal strike aimed at his enemy''s heart.
His six wings ignited in a spectacr congration as a vortex of energy before him coalesced into a golden sword. Its hilt, fashioned in the shape of a dragon, emerged from a spatial rift.
"I parried your move," Minos quipped. "Now let''s see you handle mine." With blinding speed, heunched the newly-formed weapon, its elongated de wreathed in mes and etched with obsidian inscriptions.
Though sightless, the blind man''s heightened senses detected every fluctuation of power and mass in his vicinity. He instantly recognized the attack as one befitting a Celestial!
Even within the core of his domain, color drained from his face. Instinctively, he moved to erect defensive barriers while his body underwent a rapid transformation to bolster its resilience.
What he failed to anticipate was the synchronized assault from the 12 high-level Supremes and Minos'' three femalepanions. Theirbined might, nearly matching his own, crashed against him from multiple angles.
"Damn it!" he cursed, feeling overwhelmed as attacks battered him from all sides. Meanwhile, Minos'' weapon cleaved through space like a bolt of divine lightning, homing in on the center of the blind man''s being.
Time seemed to pass differently for him and his opponents. For Artor, each moment stretched interminably, while his adversaries moved with uncanny swiftness, bolstered by the Temporal Sands at their disposal.
"You shouldn''t havee alone," Minos dered with finality. "Now, kindly leave your parts for my group''s advancement." He added, almost as an afterthought, "That was timely help, Artor."
Artor''syered energy barriers crumbled in rapid session, shattering like delicate ss panes before the most formidable of des.
Minos'' weapon found its mark, piercing Artor''s pallid form with chilling ease, sinking deep into his chest.
Silver and obsidian mes engulfed the alien''s body, eliciting a blood-curdling shriek of horror. Amidst this, a wheel of dark energy materialized above Artor, as Minos channeled his Devil powers.
Though not truly a Devil himself, Minos'' current might and his dominion over Hell powers positioned him as a formidable contender for devilhood.
Artor never stood a chance against Minos. His dyed arrival in Uzira had cost him the opportunity to eliminate an opponent who, without the Infernal Crown, would have been far more vulnerable.
As Artor''s essence was drawn into the Reincarnation Wheel, any chance of his soul lingering as a vengeful entity to haunt Minos'' group in the future was utterly obliterated. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Amid this, Artor''s body disintegrated under Minos'' ability, revealing four extraordinary artifacts that even Minos'' powers couldn''t consume.
First, a crimson crystal heart, reminiscent of Minos'' own. Second, a silver needle emerged from one of the bones in Artor''s left hand. Third, a mark adorned with intricate designs materialized from his head. Lastly, a breastte appeared, recing Artor''s ribs, its massive form inscribed with various symbols and surrounded by a luminous halo.
Minos and hispanions gazed upon these four exceptionalponents that had propelled Artor to level 123 and enabled him to construct a domain even Minos couldn''t escape.
Artor''s downfall stemmed from inadequate preparation against an enemy with mastery over death and an overwhelming reservoir of energy. Had it not been for these factors, he would have ensnared and annihted every member of Minos'' group.
Minos'' group calmed down as the four special parts that would make even Celestials kill themselves fell into the hands of Minos, who quickly opened his own domain in this area to prevent the magical fluctuation of these essences from escaping into the surroundings.
The group found themselves in a new dimension when Minos got straight to the point with his words, "We have to quickly absorb these body parts of True Celestials." He directed his women to three of the four parts he had just obtained.
If he wanted to, Minos could absorb two of them. That was his limit, since he already had two parts in his head and could no longer absorb a third there, and he also already had a heart. But he felt it made more sense to let his women have the chance to absorb one essence each and strengthen themselves with new powers and a chance of level promotion.
For Abby, Minos directed the chest armor that would take the ce of her ribs, a part that he knew would greatly increase her defensive capabilities. Since she was a necromancer, strengthening her defense was one of the main measures to ensure her future, since closebat wasn''t her strong suit.
As for Ruth, who could heal herself and had greatbat strength, Minos gave her the heart that would elevate all herbat prowess and senses. Gloria got the ck mask, which he thought would go well with her crown powers and also add new possibilities to her mercury domain.
Minos imed the needle, destined to rece one of his hand bones.
"Be quick," he urged. "I''m uncertain if I''ve fully contained the spiritual fluctuations of theseponents. We must prepare for potential 13th stage adversaries!"
