Chapter 2718 Last Ruin

As Minos proceeded to the entrance of the main ruin, the soul fragment followed beside him.

"Good luck in your attempt at my challenge and in your effort not to advance a level here. Regardless of your outcome, I'd like to make a deal with you," she proposed, holding back the effects of the first level challenge while she spoke.

"A deal? What do you want?" Minos asked, raising his eyebrows as he scrutinized her closely.

"If you succeed in my last ruin, I will do as I promised and clear the way for you and your group to leave. However, there is one last condition. You must accept my full inheritance and master a technique that replicates my powers. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

And I want you to undertake a mission. Follow Uzira until you reach the sovereign family of the continent. Approach them and research about Odibrand Redwound. If you find any trace of him, follow it and ensure that nothing of him, including his lineage, remains in this world."

Minos detected a subtle murderous intent in the soul fragment, her irritation almost tangible in her words.

"Am I supposed to know more about this Odibrand Redwound?"

"Know that he was, or is, a powerful Supreme of the highest level, an enemy who led to my downfall. He went into hiding in the end, and I could not secure his demise before my death.

Go and finish what I couldn't. In return, you'll receive all the information I have about the continent, as well as my technique. When my spirit body dissipates, you or one of your women will inherit all my knowledge to aid you in your goals."

That was even better than a technique that he didn't know what it could do. What he needed most at the moment was not exactly power, but knowledge about this strange land of Uzira.

His face turned crimson, veins bulging as sweat poured from his pores. He moved his arms and legs to withstand the surreal pressure, having only endured it for 15 seconds, yet already feeling overwhelmed.

Despite this, Minos possessed more mental resilience than he was often credited for. He maintained his position as the walls of the area seemed to crush him, his body convulsing as he felt his bones cracking.

The thought that this ordeal would eventually end and he would benefit from it later filled his mind during moments that seemed interminable, even as his super-regeneration struggled to heal his accumulating injuries.

...

As Minos passed through the beginning of the challenges of the last ruin, a consciousness superior to that of the soul fragment was also observing him.

However, this existence was several steps above the level of the owner of that dimension, able to spy on this area without being detected by anyone.

'One more candidate close to advancing to level 115, my lord. Counting him, 67 should be ready for the next phase of their selection in a few more months at most. The rest of the 100 contestants will finish their advancement in 100 years at the most.'

'That's good. Keep watching my pupils. By the way, how many of them won't be able to move on?'

'Five of them have died so far, my lord. They all fell to opponents, but they didn't have their True Celestial body parts absorbed by others. This brings us to the situation that we will only have 95 competitors in the second phase of the selection, if no one else falls until the last of them advances to level 115.'

'That's not bad. Let's wait for the final result. I'm looking forward to seeing each of them in their own dimension. In particular, I want to see how this human boy will deal with his opponents after winning the first challenge.'

The True Celestial and his subordinate looked at Minos, aware of all the changes he had undergone over the last few centuries, but also aware that Minos' opponents had grown as much as he had.
