The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2763  The Hilltop City

Ruth's body solidified, and she attacked against her totally defenseless opponent's back. By molding her energy into one of her hands as if it were a sword, Ruth cut into her opponent's body in search of a vital point.

Simultaneously with the black-haired human woman's blow, a world of mercury appeared in that area, covering the spot where the three attacked Sovereigns stood, while several arrows flew at the Sovereigns and the other Supreme there.

The Sovereigns had no chance against Gloria. In less than 3 seconds, they all fell with arrow holes in their heads, dead with surprised expressions on their faces.

The remaining Supreme in the area narrowly defended himself from a deadly attack, having had part of one of his arms cut off by an arrow.

He looked at his red wound, but didn't even have time to scream when mercury's hands emerged from the ground trying to grab his ankles.

"Fuck!" He jumped back, but as he did so, he felt a shiver run down his spine.

At that moment, his level 117 companion, now with more than one wound around his body, dodged an attack from Ruth. But the blue chains of spiritual energy continued on their way, reaching the level 116 individual a moment later. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He coughed up blood as he felt his body being enveloped by Ruth's chains when an arrow pierced his chest, causing him to bleed internally and externally.

Gloria acted against the weakest Supreme in this fight, simultaneously focusing most of her mastery on pressuring the level 117 enemy.

"Shit! Do you know who I am? Why are you doing this? Why move against me like this?! Don't you recognize the danger?!" he asked furiously, almost losing control of his words as he felt cuts all over his legs and arms, but also unable to counterattack.

"My group will follow..." He was about to make the threat that any powerful cultivator would hear at least 100 times on their journey, when Abby moved, appearing inside his body.

Solidifying part of her body as she did so, using the support of her harem sister, Ruth blasted the lower half of the enemy's body.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

The upper half was left intact as the man screamed in horror, feeling the sensation of having his spiritual nerves severed and his body bruised to a level he had never thought he would suffer.

He looked down and saw how over 55% of his existence was no longer there, now scattered around the surroundings.

"That was disgusting." Gloria looked at Ruth with an annoyed look. "You've soiled my dress."

"Did I?" The black-haired beauty apologized with her gaze at Gloria. "I'm sorry about that. I thought you were out of his reach... Anyway..." Ruth stepped forward and ended the pathetic existence of that level 117 Supreme.

The three level 113 Sovereigns watched all this with their mouths open, not knowing what was going on, nor whether it would all end well for them.

The three of them watched as the rest of Ruth and Gloria's group left the surrounding shadows, realizing that their situation was now more complicated than they had thought a moment ago.

The two women who had destroyed their enemy group simply ignored them as they cleaned their clothes of the remains of their enemies. Meanwhile, a man with long white hair and golden eyes stood next to them.

He destroyed the last barrier of their defenses with the touch of his little finger!

The three understood that this winged existence was even more dangerous than the two women and forgot about the others in the surroundings to focus on him.

Gulp!

Minos held up one of his hands and said, "My name is Minos Stuart. My wives have just saved your lives, so I believe I have a claim on your existence, right?" he asked in an apparently sympathetic manner, but the content of his speech was rather disturbing.

How could this group go against his words? The three nodded in unison.

But of course he had a right over their lives!

"Good." Minos smiled with satisfaction and continued, "But I won't sell you to the rulers of Uzira, nor will I enslave you. You have the chance now to accept my seals and serve as members of the Armhands, or refuse and well..." He stopped at this part, letting these three individuals conclude what he had in mind for themselves.

"What will it be?" He asked a moment later.

The three kneeled in front of him, not hesitating to accept Minos' seal.

They were aliens who had come to this world in search of opportunities and eventually came to Uzira after centuries in Oqia. They knew what Armhands was and part of the guild's fame.

Their priority was not to maintain their autonomy, but to maintain their lives!

Today they had almost lost that, so it wouldn't be now with the chance to join a strong group that they would try something foolish!

"We pledge our lives to Armhands!" the three of them said as they received the soul seals that Minos had designed.

"Very well. You are now Armhands Recruits, under my command at Uzira's post." Minos announced as he handed them temporary IDs. "You will finish your guild registrations when we finish our current mission and return to the secret guild post. For now, you will accompany us to Hilltop City."

The three of them wanted to reach this very place, famous in the region and among invaders from Uzira. But getting to the home of the invaders and rebels was not easy.

"Chief..."

"Commander Minos." Corrected one of the Armhands Generals.

"Commander Minos, we're only two days away from Hilltop City, but that distance is deceiving. Getting there will be difficult, even with the formidable power of you—our group," said the leader of the three.

"Don't think about it too much. Just worry about telling your stories and explaining what you know and what kind of trouble you can bring us into. I'll deal with everything else," Minos said as he gestured for the group to move forward under his leadership. "Do this during the journey. We have no time to lose!"

With the belongings of the dead collected, they moved on towards Hilltop City!
