Chapter 2613 Sacrifice of the First Elder

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Meanwhile, inside the Black Domain...

The main hall of the Black Stone Castle was teeming with men, powerful subordinates of the great powers of the central region, while their leaders gathered in groups around the area.

A large banquet was being served, and the forces attending the meeting were preparing for important changes in their plans for the ongoing confrontation with Armhands' forces.

The strongest in the area were Supremos between levels 117 and 123, creatures mostly native to the continent, as one of the motivations of the men, there was precisely to eliminate aliens and drive them from their lands.

But there was only one high-level alien there, a level 121 individual who, although he was from outside Zocarro, believed, like the others in the area, that aliens should be limited or even prevented from entering Oqia.

In the center of the area, Jabez, the level 123 leader of Firestone Mines, was surrounded by the strongest men at this meeting.

"Sect Master Jabez, Armhands is getting out of control. If we don't get rid of that guild soon, the day will come when aliens will take over the continent."

"I've heard about that. A bastard named Minus Stuart has done a lot of damage, helping to create at least a dozen new Supremes for Armhands in recent years," another man said, agreeing with the first.

"Several of our weaker subordinates and allies have already fallen to the damned Armhands aliens because of this Minos guy. We were doing well in the war until he joined the conflict with his undead."

"I hear he's very powerful himself," said another of them, everyone in the area with worried looks in their eyes.

"I am aware of that," Jabez said in a serious tone. "Minos Stuart is my primary target at this time. I already have assassins spread throughout the central region to hunt him down and kill him. As long as he ventures outside the Armhands' headquarters, it will only be a matter of time before he's dead."

"What about the damage he's already caused? Even if he disappears today, his Supreme corpses have already done enough damage, Sect Master Jabez. Armhands and his allies are winning the current conflict. Let's not ignore that," said a level 121 Supreme, while the others couldn't help but agree.

Jabez looked at this individual, aware that this local leader was blaming him for the losses of his own subordinates, since Jabez had been the one to convince everyone there to start the current war after their promotion to level 123.

Jabez said, "Do not worry, elder. The battles will change again soon. Armhands isn't the only force that can use special sacrifices to become stronger. I now have a method of sacrifice as well.

Right now, a group of men I trust are on their way to Armhands' main troop camp for a surprise attack. Once we have the results of that attack, it will be time for our group here today to take on the leaders of the Armhands coalition!

I will share my method with those of you who are willing—"

As Jabez spoke, bringing smiles to the faces of even the men most concerned about the course of the war, everyone in the hall suddenly changed their expressions as a certain shout rose over the area.

"Jabez, you wretched soul! Step forward and confront your impending doom!"

All the eyes in the hall turned to the top of the castle, while the people who were talking stopped talking or listening to feel a tremor in their souls.

That wasn't the voice of just anyone, but of someone high up in the 12th stage!

Jabez recognized the voice of the enemy, and he also sensed what was about to happen.

"Have you lost your mind, old corpse? Did you people really send your most powerful elder to the death?"

As confident as Jabez was that he would fight Juma and win, he wasn't so sure that he could do so without a hard and difficult fight.

He and the surrounding men moved and appeared outside the black castle, where they promptly saw Juma, alone, floating in the sky with a golden spiral burning on his forehead.

"Juma! Are you here to die, you old devil?" Jabez asked, glaring menacingly at the First Elder of Armhands. "You're not the only one who can get stronger, you know?"

Jabez looked at his allies and said in their minds. 'I'll show you what we can do against Armhands with the method of sacrifice I've found. All I ask is that you help me in this fight. As powerful as the method is, the old man in front of us is not normal.'

All the over twenty people silently agreed, and each of them moved their energies, causing those below level 115 to retreat to the underground levels of the castle.

"I want to see what you bastards are capable of. But don't forget who started this." Juma pointed at Jabez. "When your organizations are destroyed and many of you die, know he has broken the balance of the continent. Now there's only room for one sovereign organization!"

"Tsk! Shut that damned half-dead old man up!" Jabez shouted as demonic dogs emerged from his body and flew at the elder Juma.

Juma no longer hesitated, burning his Flashdrain parasite as his cultivation rapidly increased, breaking the barrier between levels 122 and 123, soon reaching the peak of level 123, and threatening to reach level 124.

Juma wasn't the only one who was getting stronger. When a formation of giant hands appeared above him to suppress him, Jabez also increased his cultivation and used his method to leave the beginning of his level and reach the peak of level 124.

But he wasn't happy. His method was less effective than Armhands', and the consequences of using sacrifice to temporarily increase power would be more negative for him than for Juma.

Juma smiled as he saw his enemy reach level 125 with him, knowing that he would have a good dance before he died.

'Jabez, you are a fool. I came here to die. You sacrifice your future to stop me? So be it. Even if you survive, you'll be weaker for my companions to eliminate you.'

Juma raised a hand in the air, instantly breaking the formation of over 20 Supremes before moving against Jabez.

"Jabez!"

.

"Juma!"

The two attacked each other as mere fragments of their powers wreaked havoc on the surroundings, forcing many of the Supremes to blanch at being so close to a clash of enemies that could easily kill them!
