Three weeks later...
After departing from the capital of Albano, the group of four humans and two beasts arrived in the vicinity of the area where Minos was sensing the sign of the God of Death's inheritance.
Minos did not know exactly where this place was to the extent of identifying on the map where they should go. He only felt the direction where such a place was. So their journey had not been quick, with them having to stop several tis for him to understand better where they should go.
But after three weeks of searching for the inheritance site, Minos and his wives arrived, according to their instincts, where this should be.
In the middle of a highly silent forest was the most secluded area of Albano. In this place, incidents and tragedies had happened so often in the past that the area had beco forbidden. It was famous for the terrible future and bad luck of those who passed through there.
But upon arriving there without much fear, the four humans imdiately understood that the reason for the stories about this place was the God of Death.
There was a dark mist in so parts of the forest, where only those who passed through it could know what was on the other side.
At the sa ti, the intense killing intent coming from that fog-covered area was sothing they had all felt when Minos received the key to this place.
Finally, in addition to the incomplete trident sign on Minos' forehead started trembling now, Abby felt extrely grumpy, recalling the feelings of the Goddess of Life.
"That's the place." She comnted in a low voice, confident that that was the feeling emitted by the Goddess of Life's rival.
Minos was already sure of it too, but since he did not feel anything towards that person, he was just curious to know what he would gain there.
He would do this to help Abby complete the Goddess of Life's inheritance. But nothing would stop him from taking advantage of the situation. Thus, Minos was prepared to get so things for the Black Plain if possible.
"What do we do now?" Ruth asked in curiosity.
As the three won looked at him, Minos replied. "I will send the two of you with Kyla and Maida to the Spatial Kingdom. Abby and I will continue."
"What? How can you decide that?" Gloria asked, not liking that she was being excluded from the adventure.
"Do you intend to fight pregnant, big sister?" Kyla asked as she stood next to them, not liking the atmosphere of that area.
She would rather return to the Spatial Kingdom as soon as possible!
Not only was that place better than the mainland, but recently it was giving off an energy that made her feel very comfortable...
Gloria listened to that fox and clenched her fists as she looked at her belly.
Minos then comnted. "This place has its dangers, and only I can help Abby complete her mission since you two did not participate in the inheritance of the Goddess of Life."
"On the other hand, we don't know what will happen. So we shouldn't risk more than is necessary."
"What about Abby? Isn't that better for us to leave this for the future? I think it will be too risky on your level to do this." Ruth said in concern.
She had no idea how dangerous the God of Death's inheritance would be since Minos and Abby had easily managed to overco the Goddess of Life's inheritance. But upon arriving at this place and noticing the area covered in black fog, she could not help but think that the place was much more dangerous than they thought.
Abby then said. "I'll be fine. I have the weapon left by the Goddess of Life with so of her aurae. That will protect enough for us to escape in case of need."
"Still, how will we escape if everyone is in the Spatial Kingdom?" The black-haired woman insisted.
Minos reassured his wife. "If we need to escape, I will launch the black hole at that place. That will clear the area and ensure a safe place to return to."
"Why don't we do this right away?" Gloria asked.
The black hole could erase even souls. Because of this, it would not be impossible, in this pregnant's opinion, that they could destroy this place just by throwing the black hole there.
Minos laughed and said. "If I do that, we will lose anything useful that might be in this place..."
The Goddess of Life had said that the traces of the God of Death should be erased from existence. But not every item in an inheritance necessarily belonged to its forr owner.
Like Minos, cultivators had their history, dead enemies, and many items collected along the river of ti. So, naturally, there would be items not owned or 'blessed' by the God of Death in that place.
And those items would not need to be destroyed, which was of great interest to Minos!
"So it's on account of your greed..." Ruth comnted, looking at her husband with a warning look.
"Co on, don't worry. Worst-case scenario, we'll have to stay in the Spatial Kingdom for a while." He smiled apologetically, slowly convincing his wives.
After looking at each other and talking for a few more monts in that scary woods, Minos sent Maida, Kyla, Ruth, and Gloria to the Spatial Kingdom.
After being alone with his queen, he took one of Abby's hands while this woman held a silver staff in her other hand, a weapon that had a blue gem on top of it.
Abby took a deep breath and gathered her courage, quickly making her way with her husband into the area covered by the black mist.
As they did so, they imdiately noticed the sudden coldness of that area, which seed to contain beings of different races in pain, screaming in agony.
As their backs shivered, the staff in one of Abby's hands glowed through its bluish gem, quickly covering this woman's body.
But this did not extend to Minos, and amidst the negative feeling in his being, he released his killing intent as much as he could.
In doing so, Minos did not affect his wife, as she was protected by that staff, already feeling much less fearful. anwhile, the strange feeling in his being diminished as if that hostile environnt was accepting him as part of itself.
The sounds of screaming diminished as they continued, along with the formation of a path in front of them, sothing like a stairway at the edge of a cliff.
'This place is strange... Where's here?' Minos felt curious, trying to understand the surroundings covered by this strange mist.
The continent had changed a bit since the ti of Henricus Longus. Because of this, in so places, Minos only had an idea of what they were in that man's ti, so he could not determine so interesting places precisely.
He could more or less tell the approximate location of those giant skeletons as they had unique demarcations. But other places were complicated to determine.
But since there had been so extre places in the area he was of the Central Continent in the past, Minos could not help but wonder where exactly they would arrive.
So, as they walked slowly, the two began to hear footsteps coming towards them!
