With giant dragon ws flying toward them and no way to escape, Minos'' allies looked from side to side and prepared to act.
The tunnel they were in was huge, big enough for 9th-stage dragons to pass through. There was enough room for all of them to activate their Soul Avatars.
The strongest of the group took the lead, raising their defenses against their weakerpanions to prevent the worst from happening.
The surprise attack of the trap in that area was not weak, but it was not threatening to the Demigods or Minos.
So, these three acted quickly for the good of their group.
Minos activated the Spatial Sword, and several ghost des emerged from the vacuum of space, heading toward the dragon ws flying toward the people there.
Forrest and hispanion were not left behind and soon destroyed many of those razor-sharp ws with their attacks, helping to reduce the number of attacks that were about to hit Minos'' people.
But Gloria, Ruth, Isabe, Abby, and Harold did not stand still. They joined the other 9th-stage members of their group andbined their defenses, preparing for the ws that their 3 strongest people would not destroy.
With this action, in the blink of an eye, severalyers of defenses appeared in front of this group, with the strongest defenses in front and the weakest behind, with the purpose of absorbing the enemy projectiles'' power.
Ruth''s defensive ability was not the kind that could be used to protect others, so she did not join the group. Instead, she prepared her attacks, sending bursts of destructive lightning at the projectiles heading toward her group.
When one of the few projectiles that made it past Minos'' group and the two Demigods hit the group''s defenses, the first barriers suffered and were easily destroyed.
But with eachyer of defenses destroyed, these and other attacks weakened, reducing their speed and destructive power.
When one of them broke through all the defensiveyers, Gloria appeared in front of the level 89 Sage of Forrest''s group, cing her two forearms in front of her body as if they were a shield.
Then inscriptions appeared on her body, causing the dragon w to glow for a moment before turning to ash.
Gloria felt the protection Minos had left on her body increase the amount of spiritual energy she had at her disposal and immediately attacked with great force.
Seraphim''s Wings!
She mmed her six wings down on her avatar''s back, causing dozens of feathers to break free from her projection and fly away against other projectiles flying toward the group.
Swooish!
Meanwhile, Isabe and Abby struggled to raise the destroyed barriers.
Seeing this, Minos grinned, enjoying seeing all his women show some of their abilities after so many years of not seeing them fight for their lives.
They did not disy powers much greater than those of a talented, well-armed, and well-trained person of their level. But they were not there to make a difference for their group. On the contrary, they were there because he wanted to help them be even stronger with the help of what they could get in this space.
It wasn''t their individual strength that caught Minos'' attention, but their resilience ining together to fight attacks much stronger than their own level, but also their will to persevere and be stronger.
He knew that not everyone could be like him!<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>
''It looks like the years of training together are paying off, doesn''t it?'' He nced at them before noticing one of thest dragon ws flying swiftly toward him.
Minos clenched his fists and did not hesitate. He activated the Indestructible Body and struck at it with force, causing space to copse in front of his fist until it hit its target.
The collision of the two attacks caused an outburst, and the entire dragon w exploded, leaving no trace as it waspletely destroyed by the chaotic power of Minos'' fists.
Seeing that no more ws were flying toward his people, Minos didn''t hesitate and merged two of his techniques, creating a ck hole.
The people in Forrest''s group saw this for the first time. They felt the terror of Emperor Stuart''s ability, which could even threaten the lives of level 92 cultivators.
Minos threw the thing in the direction of where arge stone wheel had blocked the path ahead, clearing the way for his party without dy or difficulty.
Forrest realized how powerful Minos'' rare fusion ability was, which was very different from what he had heard about it.
"This is quite an impressive power." He praised Minos but soon moved with the rest of the group behind the brown-haired fellow.
Minos quickly extinguished the ck hole with his abilities, knowing that if he detonated a ck hole bomb in this ce, his entire group would probably perish.
With a clear path ahead of them, they soon came to the entrance of one of the many underground chambers in the area.
From a distance, they could see a deep green, with several roots on the ground, and the smell of wet earth that came from such an area.
"A ntation?" Isabe asked as she realized what was in front of her.
"Dragons have bizarre ways for us humans," Forrestmented. "Among them, they grow a kind of herb that only grows in the dark. They usually use this herb to make drinks for some of their ceremonies.
If these nts are that kind of herb, some of us might have a chance to use it to temper our bodies and increase our understanding of me-rted techniques."
"Oh?" Harold was interested in this, as his entire cultivation base was me-rted.
He was not the emperor of the ming Empire for nothing!
As a descendant of the ruling family of such a region, his techniques had a lot to do with FLAME things!
Isabe had already learned some techniques from Minos. However, her cultivation base and, more importantly, her innate ability were closely rted to mes.
So when she heard that, she smiled, imagining that she could be the first of the group to win something in this ce!
Minos said nothing and led the group into the ce, knowing there might be more traps.
Before they celebrated, they had to ensure they could use these things!
