The Rise of the Black Plain - Chapter 2678: Hard Offer to Refuse

Abby swallowed her saliva as she turned pale, having spent all her power to summon the woman back to life, but fortunately, overcoming all her summonings up to that day.

After working so hard with the black liquid, she had improved her control over her divine power. With Minos’ help and her stronger cultivation, she could now revive even a level 115 Supreme.

While she couldn’t control a Supreme, she had the help of Minos, who, in his current state, was as strong as a newly promoted 12th stage.

Minos stepped forward as Abby stepped back, just as the green-haired woman opened her eyes, revealing an emerald glow in her eyes.

“How strange…” Her mouth dropped open, and a harsh voice, capable of causing pain in ordinary high-level Sovereigns, emerged, causing Abby and the two guards at the front of the room to narrow their eyes as they brought their hands to their ears.

Minos appeared in front of the door to the room, leaving Abby and the two guards outside the compartment, standing in the way of the apparently human woman.

He frowned, but the annoyance of the woman’s voice didn’t affect him so much.

The woman ignored his movement, raising her upper body and looking down at her hands, shocked to see herself so ‘alive’ and beautiful again.

“I thought I’d died… No, I certainly did.” She murmured, her voice becoming softer as she understood the situation, her aura becoming more and more stable.

Realizing that she had been called back to life, she looked under the arms of the white-haired man in front of her, identifying the one who had summoned her.

“I see. I’ve died and someone has desecrated my eternal resting place.” Her expression remained calm and her tone easier to bear, but the content of her words didn’t seem to match her sudden tranquility.

Minos looked into the green eyes of this 1.9 meter tall woman and said, “Did we desecrate your resting place? Perhaps. I admit it’s not the best thing to be forced back to life after dying. But we may have saved you from a worse fate.”

“Worse?” She looked at Minos, realizing that although he hadn’t summoned her, a lot of his energy was involved in the ‘ritual’. Not only that, he had an extraordinary spiritual fluctuation, something that captivated her attention.

Minos summoned from his spatial ring the coffin that was open when he picked it up from the wooden ship. “We believe that the one who occupied that coffin has turned into a ghost.”

The moment her eyes fell on that open urn, the woman left her coffin and touched the stained fabric of that urn, recognizing the aura of its former owner.

“Did you say he had become a ghost?” She cast a quick glance at Minos, attempting to feel the energy of her surroundings. Before long, a bittersweet smile appeared on her face as she recognized their location. “Violent Sea!””

“Exactly. A ghost, and yes, we’re in the Violent Sea.” Minos confirmed as Tiolos was prepared to act.

But as strange as this situation was, he wasn’t that worried. With only a 115 level cultivation, that woman over there shouldn’t be such a challenge for him and Minos. She couldn’t compare to the ghost that Minos had defeated, which naturally relieved a lot of Tiolos’ tension.

“I understand…” She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. “I see… In the end, the damned sea consumed us completely. It’s a shame. We almost beat it.”

Minos and Tiolos were interested in this, with questions arising in their minds.

She opened her eyes again and looked into the depths of Minos’ eyes. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to tell you what I know. I don’t know exactly what you want, but I imagine you awakened me for a reason, right? Unfortunately, this blue woman’s powers aren’t that strong yet. In only four minutes, I should disappear… eternally.”

She laughed bitterly, seeing that reincarnation was no longer a possibility for her. However, she didn’t want to fight these people. Somehow, knowing what fate had befallen her group was good enough for her not to waste her last minutes of existence fighting them.

When she was alive, she had reached level 118, but Abby’s powers had failed to re-fill her soul. In this situation, she could hardly win there, so she remained calm as she turned and looked at the still-closed urn.

“Walkas… Even you died on our journey,” she said in a low voice, as she turned her back to Minos and Tiolos, placing both hands on the coffin lid and then opening it.

The same situation as a moment ago developed, with another skeleton, dressed in armor, this time a male ensemble, revealing itself to them.

“I imagine you’re going to bring him back to life too, right?” She looked over her shoulder toward the room’s exit. “Sadly, that won’t help you much. Don’t waste his soul like that. Despite the magnificent knowledge stored in his dead soul, I’m afraid you’ll never be able to access it. He’s even stronger than me, and this girl’s power won’t last long in him.”

Minos clasped one of his hands and summoned a small vial of black liquid from his spatial ring. “It’s not that simple,” he said, holding up the essence that could extend her life.

The best method for using the black liquid was to use it on the remains first, before using Abby’s ability. But since the group wasn’t sure what these corpses were worth and what might happen, they hadn’t risked putting a liquid that could greatly enhance the formation of a powerful ghost against them.

Now, however, they had seen something encouraging with her formation and her apparent emotional stability. This woman certainly had a powerful will, which naturally made her more interesting to have on their side.

“This black liquid can prolong your durability for much longer than these minutes you feel. With it, we can bring your companion back to life too and make him have a vitality even stronger than yours.” Minos presented the wonders of the black liquid. “Eventually, if you help us, we’ll be able to help you extend your time as we get stronger. As you said yourself, Abby is not yet strong enough to give you the time you need. But that could change.

So here’s the deal. Do you agree to join us and work side by side in this terrible sea in exchange for these benefits?”
