Chapter 2565 Dragon Stomp

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

A year and a half after leaving the Artificial Moon, Minos was back in Oqia, having already left the far north of the continent, having arrived in the area after a quiet journey between the Ganaway Refuge and the northern coast.

Unlike his other experiences in the area, this time the journey had been fast and quiet, with no chance for him to experiment with his current powers.

Once he reached the coast, Minos spent no more than a day in the area before continuing his journey after spending months there. He was now 40% of the way between the far north and Examire, traveling alone and unable to use wormholes to his advantage.

Wormholes could be used to shorten long journeys, but given Zocarro's stability and gravity, only Supremes could safely use this method of travel. Minos was still a long way from achieving that feat, so he could only fly calmly to his destination.

Fortunately for him, his current movement speed was several times faster than when he left, enough to reach his destination in another 15 months of travel.

...

In a desert area on Minos' way back to Examire, a battle between locals and aliens was taking place close to him.

Standing in front of a small fire, with a ceramic cup in one hand, Minos smelled the fragrance of his spiritual tea as he saw the battle of high-ranking Sovereigns approaching his position.

Seeing six creatures in full battle, using their large, strange bodies against each other, Minos had a small smile at the corners of his lips, almost praying to the gods of fate that this battle would come closer to him and force him to get involved.

Could he just stand up and fight these six who brought trouble so close to him? Of course, but Minos wasn't the type to get involved in fights without being motivated to do so. Even if he wanted to expose some of his current powers, he wouldn't get involved in unnecessary trouble or killing. Unless, of course, the other side forced him to. In that case, he would show his current strength to those six.

At the level he was at, he wouldn't even need to use the Hydra Amulet to deal with even dozens of warriors like that.

In fact, the Hydra Amulet had lost some of its appeal for Minos. The amulet was still precious to him, but with his current powers, he could fight anyone without the help of the amulet.

The amulet had little potential against Supremes, so it basically added nothing to Minos' powers. At most, it could help Minos cultivate a divine power related to hydras.

But at the moment, Minos was more interested in obtaining a divine power related to his dragon powers than to the powers of the hydras.

He had already planned to leave the amulet to one of his wives or one of his children, depending on who had the ability to use it. If neither of them had the ability, he would keep the amulet until he reached the 12th stage. At that time, he would leave the item for his faction members to try their luck.

Without using the powers of the amulet, Minos watched the battle come closer and closer and continued to sit where he was.

The six creatures continued to attack each other, two level 114 snakes fighting two level 113 spiders and two level 113 giant cockroaches.

Surrounded by these four enemies, the two snakes showed hateful expressions on their faces, while their auras didn't look very good.

Even though they were theoretically stronger than the enemies, they were both injured before the battle even began, so their situation was not good.

"We have to do something, or we'll fall to these bugs!" One of them said between his teeth, his voice showing signs of fatigue, his breathing rapid.

The other snake-like creature, flicking across the desert terrain they were in, said nothing, continuing to dodge enemy attacks, targeting their weak points and counterattacking as much as possible.

Suddenly, however, one enemy sensed something strange coming from the north of this area.

"Huh? That giant cockroach, as big as a carriage, looked in the direction where a strange, small alien being was sitting in front of a fire.

'That feeling... But he's only a level 109 Sovereign. Why do I feel like my life is in danger?' the cockroach wondered, distracted from the battle for a moment.

But their enemies did not take advantage of their distraction. They also noticed the presence of Minos not far away, and for a moment considered the possibility of attacking the small human.

But just like the group of locals trying to kill them, these two snakes sensed that something was wrong with Minos. Even though he was clearly at level 109, the human's cultivation base seemed to be as solid as the cultivation of someone at level 113!

He wasn't stronger than them, but unlike the six people who were fighting, Minos was at his best and probably had his weapons up his sleeve. Involving him in this conflict could be dangerous for both sides!

"What shall we do?"

"Let's risk it and ask this expert for help!" said the most injured serpent, willing to take the risk to avoid his death, which was not so far away considering his many injuries.

The moment the serpents had made up their minds, Minos closed his eyes and stood up, seeing a future that somehow pleased him.

"I accept you as my mounts," Minos announced as he opened his arms just before the two snakes passed him and appeared behind his position.

The four insects native to Zocarro were careful not to advance immediately, for they felt a strange pressure coming from Minos' position.

The two serpents remained silent, imagining they would have to become this human's mounts if they wanted his help. It wasn't easy to accept such a condition, but it was better than dying.

"We'll do whatever the Senior wants, as long as you save us!" said the less injured of the two, while her companion almost lost consciousness.

Minos had only taken one step forward when four dragon legs suddenly appeared from the distortions of space above each of the level 113 insects.

The four creatures felt their legs break as they were smashed to the ground, their mighty armor, capable of withstanding a weight hundreds of times greater than their own bodies, shattering as if it were made of glass.

Minos only rubbed one of his feet against the ground before the four bodies exploded, completely crushed by his dragon stomp!
