Chapter 2293 Fighting Before the Opportunity
In the blink of an eye, Minos and the three aliens he had used his ability to make stronger began to fight the level 102 snake.
The rest of their companions stayed to the rear, where they could help their allies with support skills or even attack the creature they intended to face.
The three alongside Minos acted together in attacking the vital points of the snake, which appeared to be asleep, but was in fact very attentive to the beings in its vicinity.
If these individuals made the mistake of thinking they could pass by without attracting its attention, it would devour them!
Fortunately for this group, Minos had seen a future in which two of them would die to the snake before he could kill it if they behaved as the snake wanted.
Minos then used his Chaotic Gravity technique to press the creature to the ground while a black ring appeared around it, sucking out its energy.
At the same time, Minos' eyes lit up, and he immediately attacked the creature with the Infinite Dream, using several of his techniques simultaneously to push the opponent out of its comfort zone.
Minos was at level 99 at this point, but his normal techniques could at most bother a being with the power of that snake. He would never beat it using just that!
However, he wasn't alone!
The beings next to him weren't weak either and naturally had the ability to fight beings one or two levels above their own.
With Minos' help, they became even more powerful, enough so that when they began to attack the snake along with him, they immediately made the huge creature in their path exclaim in pain.
The snake suddenly left its previous state, moving its large mouth and showing its vicious fangs.
A jet of purple poison shot out from the creature's two gigantic front teeth, spewing poisonous gas toward Minos' companions.
Minos moved in the direction of the poison while telling those people to go ahead with the attack.
They did as they were supposed to, while Minos used his 10th technique to make a deadly poison even for level 102 Sovereigns dissipate when he got close to it, as if it were nothing.
Meanwhile, Minos was already in his best form, with his Space and Time Avatar active, while the Indestructible Body made a semi-transparent layer of energy envelop his entire body.
That snake realized he was the great opponent among all the beings attacking it and moved its tail towards Minos, making that part of its body move like a whip.
However, as its tail flew rapidly towards Minos, a sword appeared in one of his hands, and soon afterward, the surrounding space was shattered by a mixture of the powers of the Space and Time Domain and the Spatial Sword.
Swooish!
Several powerful blades of energy emerged from space, slashing toward the body of the golden-red scaled snake.
Simultaneously with Minos' action, the three aliens brutally attacked the body of this opponent, not paying much attention to them.
One leaped into the air, making his claws grow as he moved his muscles to slice through his opponent's body.
Another of them made a gigantic energy hammer appear in the air just before using it to try and smash the head of that level 102 creature.
"Die!" This individual holding the hammer said as he made his large monkey muscles tremble, using a force capable of crushing mountains.
The third of them made golden feathers emerge from his back, flying at high speed toward his opponent's body as if each feather were a different rocket programmed to destroy that body.
The combined attacks of these men quickly took effect, with the level 102 creature's defenses failing and various wounds beginning to appear around its body.
Minos took advantage of the enemy's pain to corrupt its mind, causing it to fall into a nightmare in which it found itself facing the enemy it feared most.
Part of the creature's mind couldn't resist the pressure and gave way, soon opening gaps for its opponents to attack it even more efficiently, causing its wounds to grow in size and numbers.
After two minutes of combat, Minos' group achieved enough dominance in the battle for their companions to realize that victory was within their grasp.
The group's support members sprang into action to help those four main combatants finish off the enemy and help them recover from energy exhaustion.
Meanwhile, the others remained careful, watching their surroundings to avoid any unexpected surprises that could lead to significant losses.
At this rate, Minos and his three companions would soon finish off the level 102 creature, killing it after another minute and a half.
By the end of the fight, the ground in that area had been partially destroyed, but not by much. Fighting in the water was different from fighting on the surface, which meant that attacks and counter-attacks by fighting warriors caused less damage to the surroundings.
Even so, the spot where the snake's brutalized body had fallen bore many signs of combat, with cracks in the ground and craters here and there.
When he finally calmed down a bit, Minos said. "Quick, get the essence of this creature, and let's go."
"What about its body? A being of that size and level has magical properties for those who use its flesh and body parts." Said one of the men who had fought directly against the level 102 snake.
"The value of its corpse is magnificent. But only if we're alive to take advantage of it." Minos said. "Unfortunately, monsters of all kinds are probably already on their way here to devour that body. We only have time to take its essence and run.
We'll soon be unable to leave the building I intend to enter because of this battle for months."
"Months?" Ruth swallowed her saliva, not imagining that the situation would become so serious after just one battle.
The others took Minos' words to heart, and in less than a minute, the less worn-out ones had collected the snake's brain, which was the essence of this monster, the most valuable item from its corpse.
With it in hand, they set off towards the place Minos wanted to reach, arriving there just seconds before the first monster stronger than that snake appeared where the battle had taken place.
They had narrowly escaped a being of level 104!
Minos closed the entrance he had just passed and looked meaningfully at his group while they all saw the same thing he had seen outside the building.
