Chapter 2588 Peak 12th Stage Battle Approaching!

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The days required by the level 118 Elder passed, and Minos waited day after day for the Elder's signal to leave.

Meanwhile, he continued to focus on his cultivation, having already chosen which of the 10 guinea pigs would go with him to test the production of a Supreme corpse.

Having already conducted several tests to determine the limit of liquid needed to produce a Supreme, Minos was certain the amount of black liquid he would take with him would be enough to bring his chosen guinea pig to the next stage.

While he waited, the Elders had already approved the departure of one of them and the conduct of the experiment Minos wanted to do.

After 43 days of waiting, he would receive notification of permission to leave headquarters and head for the Judgement Tower!

...

"Stay in the guild and continue your cultivation. We'll be back as soon as possible with new answers to our questions," Minos said with a smile on his face. Now he faced not only his wives and children, but also his fellow faction members in their cave.

At Minos' side were two Generals, one of them the right hand of the Commander and the other an extra escort for him on this important mission.

They were heading for the Judgement Tower, the headquarters of a force with two level 115 Supremes and one level 116 man. Even if a level 118 Elder were to accompany them, he would do so from afar, and various dangers on the way back might make their journey to the guild headquarters problematic.

As a precaution, the two Generals were at Minos' side to accompany him on his journey.

Gan and Ama would not accompany their master on this trip. The two serpents would remain in the guild to protect Minos' family and his interests.

"Be careful. We don't know what can happen to a level 115 corpse. Even if an Elder is around, don't hesitate to abandon our plans and come back here," Abby said to her husband. Unfortunately, she could not accompany him on this journey.

Minos nodded at her, then kissed his blue-haired wife on the forehead.

Segiel was there, along with Abby, Ruth, and Gloria. She also wished Minos good luck.

"Use this if you have to leave quickly and don't want to lose the black liquid," The woman with hair similar to Abby's said and gave Minos a pendant. "This is an amulet of my tribe. It can turn almost anything into liquid. The body of your dead will be destroyed and then contained in liquid form in this crystal."

Seeing it, Minos understood the function of this surely valuable device.

"Are you sure you want to give it to me? The black liquid is strange and I don't know what might happen if it is absorbed. You could lose your amulet," he said, looking seriously into her eyes.

"Take it with you. It's more important for you to have the black liquid in case something goes wrong than for me to have the amulet."

He thanked Segiel, hoping he wouldn't have to use such an artifact, but kept it in his spatial ring anyway.

Glancing at his children, Minos told them to continue looking after the dragon eggs before he left with the two Generals.

"How long until we reach the Judgement Tower?" asked one of them, who had never been to such a place.

The other General said, "It's a 17-day journey on the standard route. But we won't rush. We'll follow an alternative route that will extend the journey by 50%."

Minos said nothing, having already agreed to the Commander's right-hand man's plan.

Their primary goal in this mission was to analyze the corpse's behavior when it reached level 115, its strength, rationality, vitality, and other characteristics. However, since they were likely to lose control of the corpse, the best place to test their hypotheses was not in their own headquarters, but on the battlefield. Specifically, a place where they could use the corpse against some of their strongest enemies.

Judgement Tower was the headquarters of the weakest enemy organization in the war started by Firestone Mines.

But even though it was the weakest, it couldn't be easy to reach their headquarters. Otherwise, the organization behind this place wouldn't have existed for thousands of years.

To get the best results from this experiment, they had to keep their movements as secret as possible!

"The road to Summerset Falls shouldn't be difficult. But between there and the Judgement Tower, we'll have to be very careful," said the General, the leader of the expedition.

"Let's keep going. I can't wait until we reach Summerset Falls." Minos smiled as he led the two of them out of the fenced-off area of the Armhands' headquarters.

They left the guild's floating island without waiting for any sign of the Elder, who had promised to accompany them on this journey. A level 118 Supreme was difficult to spot. Even with no sign of the old alien, this individual was already moving along with them.

The other nine Elders of the Council watched the group of four individuals leave, with the First Elder in his residence sighing.

'Maybe it's time to wake up the Supreme Leader to give him an update on the guild.' The old level 122 individual thought, 'I'll just wait for the results of this group expedition.'

He decided to wait a little longer before awakening the strongest member of the guild, the Supreme Leader, a powerful level 123 Supreme, one of the strongest in Oqia.

The Supreme Leader had been in seclusion for the past 2,000 years, pursuing his advancement to level 124. However, if something capable of influencing even a Supreme—such as what Minos wanted to test—proved useful to the guild, it might be worth awakening the guild's leader.

'Besides Minos and Abby's wonderful progress, I must warn the Supreme Leader about Jabez's actions. That old man has become arrogant since he advanced to level 123. Perhaps the time has come for a new duel between the peak Supremes to take place in Oqia!'

He closed his eyes as he clenched his fists, while a golden tattoo gradually appeared on his forehead, forming a snake similar to the one all the Armhands members had on their foreheads.

"The time has come for us to dance together one last time, my old friend. Before I die, I'll give you the chance to fight with me at the top of the 12th stage."

He murmured with a strange look, staring at his forehead while the snake tattoo trembled.
