Chapter 114: Lunatic

While resting by a large tree in the middle of the forest, Minos and his two allies were standing, drinking water and eating fruits. At this point, Peter decided questions about this enemy that Minos was chasing. "Minos, why are you still looking for that person? So far, you haven't said anything to us." Upon hearing this, Maxwell lifted his head and looked away from Minos. He was also curious about the young Stuart's dispute with Leroy. Minos then looked in the opposite direction to the two young men and said. "He wanted to profane my partner. Consequently, I cannot allow him to live!" Upon hearing this, the two young men understood why Minos was going so far following this enemy. But it was not an uncommon thing. After all, there were many people like Leroy in this world, they were arrogant, who thought they were the owners of the world... After that, the three rested for a few minutes and then followed their pursuit. On the way, the three would typically talk as if they were strolling in the middle of a walk. "Minos, you should visit my family in the Snow Kingdom, there you will find the largest concentration of beast tamer in the North of the Central Continent." The young Maxwell said proudly. And indeed, the Snow Kingdom was notorious in this region for the trade of spiritual beasts. This kingdom was geographically closer to Elf Island and, because of that, had a very diverse nature. Despite having the name 'snow,' this realm wasn't quite as arctic as someone might think. There were places close to the coast, which had a temperate climate, and even there was a savannah, close to the border with the Kingdom of the End. Because of these geographical characteristics, the Snow Kingdom had an abundant amount of land that was not inhabited by humans but by spiritual beasts! Because of this, after hundreds of thousands of years, that kingdom ended up specializing in the taming of spiritual beasts. For this reason, they became known as the best place in the North of the Central Continent to buy low-ranking beasts, such as those used in transport and human food. Minos nodded in agreement and said. "Hmm, I will definitely be going there in the future." ... Some time passed, and finally, Minos and Leroy were about to meet in this forest! Minos and his two companions had covered the remaining distance to Leroy and Davy. They had recently stopped by a small lake. At this point, the group of three young men was sneaking up closer to the site to see what was going on here. When finally, one of them saw two young men standing while they seemed to be resting in this place. ... A few minutes earlier, Leroy and Davy had decided to stop at this location since the two of them had already realized that they were being chased. They were not meant to set a trap or anything like that. It was just that it was very irritating to be chased continuously! But since both young men were already Spiritual Generals, they could easily feel the energy of these persecutors. So, they knew there were three people, and they were all only at level 39... "Leroy, do you have any other enemies that would chase you like that?" Davy asked curiously. He did not care for these people since the difference to his level was very big! "No, the only person who has a disagreement with me in this competition is the one from Minos. But he is only at level 37." Leroy said without worry. He also didn't give a damn about these three poor wretches. If they wanted to die coming to disturb him, then he wouldn't mind doing that favor! 'Shit! Where is this Minos? We've been looking for him all this time, but it's like he's gone. Nobody we talked to seemed to know about him!' Leroy thought about it angrily... Davy then said as he yawned. "Haa... Well, let's wait and see what these guys want..." The path of these two had been very calm. It had been almost four days since the start of the test, but only a beast from the beginning of the 5th stage had attacked them. However, for two cultivators like them, dealing with such a beast was just a bit of work. Therefore, the two had not had any great emotion in this time of trial. ... Finally, Minos saw the face of the person who had run away from him earlier. The bastard was sitting on a rock, as if he were doing nothing better, with a carefree expression on his face. 'Eh? Didn't this guy recognize me?' Minos thought when he saw Leroy's calm. 'Well, it's only been two months since we met. He must think that I wouldn't be able to reach level 39 in such a short time... ' After thinking about it, Minos called the two companions who were with him and said in a low voice. "I think you two shouldn't get involved in this fight. Otherwise, it can harm you a little." Maxwell then frowned and asked. "Are you going to kill that person?" "Hmm." "But there are two cultivators on the other side. Do you intend to fight alone?" Shortly after hearing Minos's dry response, Peter asked in concern. He did not want the person who had saved his life to fighting alone, even more so when there was a difference in numbers. "Don't worry. I can handle this." After saying those last words, Minos finally started walking towards the area where Leroy and Davy were standing. As for the two young men, Maxwell and Peter, they stopped for a moment and then followed in the young Stuart's footsteps. They would at least stand by the side of the fight, so if there were a need, they would intervene and help Minos. ... 'Oh? It seems that they finally decided to come...' Davy thought about it, feeling the group of Minos quickly approaching him and Leroy. And seconds later, the figure of Minos came out from behind a tree and finally he was seen by the two young men who were standing by the small lake. Seeing this, both Davy and Leroy were surprised. However, they had very different reasons for that... While Davy thought about how Minos looked like the target they were hunting, Leroy was already starting to turn pale with fear! He couldn't believe that Minos had increased two levels in just two months! 'Shit! If I had known it was him, I would have set a trap here! It wasn't supposed to be like this!' He thought about it while putting himself in a defensive position. Seeing the reaction of surprise on the faces of the two young men, Minos remained expressionless, standing in the same spot where he had arrived. He was dressed in all black clothing, and his level-2, low-grade spiritual sword was already in his right hand. When looking at Minos, any of the three young people who did not know all the details of the grudge between him and Leroy could feel the intense intent signs that the young Stuart was issuing. He then said when he looked at Davy for a moment and then focused on his vision and Leroy. "I don't know why you are with this scum, but if you get involved in this fight, don't blame me for the consequences that will be." Upon hearing this, Davy frowned steadily and stared at Minos for a moment. 'Oh! He has a lot of courage to threaten someone stronger than him!' The young Davy was unaware of Minos' strength. After all, Leroy wanted to use him as a sacrifice so that he would erode young Stuart's strength so that he would have a chance to kill Minos! As far as Davy knew, Minos was a person who used external means to fight, as help from other people, traps, etc... Davy then said irritably. "So, are you threatening me? A man who hides behind a woman dares to say that... You are truly a lunatic!" 'Do he hide behind women?' The two young men thought about what they had just heard. They then thought. 'How absurd, Minos is a real monster, it seems...' At the same time, Minos had finally understood the situation. It looked like Leroy was using this young man. 'Indeed, a worm that must die!' 'A scum will always be a scum...' Minos sighed as he thought about Leroy's actions. The guy really had a twisted mind and was willing to sacrifice people who had nothing to do with his problems! "Ehh, I think I understand. Leroy is using you to fight me. I will settle my affairs with this worm, but if you try something, you will still receive severe punishment, even if I don't kill you." Minos said this calmly as if he were the only person in this place who had the power to say these things. ... Meanwhile, in the square where the Spiritual Tournament was located, many people saw the situation increasingly tense between the group of Minos and Leroy. They didn't have the audio from the venue, so they didn't know exactly what was going on, but there seemed to be a grudge between the two groups. "Hey! Look at that. It looks like the Minos group is going to fight those two young men!" One person said surprisingly. Many of these people already knew the name of Minos since he was able to kill 5th stage spiritual beasts, even when fighting alone. Thus, his name had already spread to a large part of the audience of this competition.
