As Minos' group arrived at the part of the large cemetery where tens of thousands of skeletons were gathered, many soon began making room for them.
They did not know each other since many of them did not even know each other in life, so most could not recognize any of the skeletons in Minos' group. But these skeletons knew how to distinguish between enemies and allies, people connected to the Goddess.
As such, upon realizing that some skeletons in Minos' group were subordinates of the Goddess, as well as this woman's chosen one, many saw no problem with the arrival of the group in question.
Instead, upon seeing Abby and the seven skeletons beside her, the masses of innocents who had died in this place began to celebrate the arrival of their reinforcements!
"The Goddess' other chosen one has arrived!"
"Haha, and she came accompanied by several Generals of the Goddess!"
"Very good! Now we can set off for the counterattack!"
Several comments circulated in the surroundings as Minos' group walked towards the central area, where the leaders of these skeletons were supposed to be.
While they were doing this, they also heard people commenting about the presence of that unusual person, who they did not feel was an enemy but were indescribably afraid of.
"Look at that living being..."
"How did he manage to get in here? And what's with him?"
"I don't know, but look at that... The Goddess' chosen one is holding one of his hands like she is his girlfriend..."
Hearing this, Abby smiled and looked at Minos. "You draw attention everywhere you go, my love."
"Not as much as my beautiful wife..." He squeezed her tiny waist, making her blush that he was so intimate amidst so many individuals.
Continuing for a few more moments, their group finally reached the spot where several skeletons were sitting on gravestones, with many others standing around a large circle, giving space to their leaders.
There, those beings were discussing a recent problem.
"What are we going to do, city lord? The Goddess' chosen one on our side is extremely weak..." One of them said as he looked at a young man with black hair.
Another then commented in a low voice. "If it weren't for our group, he would have died right at the beginning of the Goddess' test..."
Upon hearing such a thing, Wilfred was embarrassed by this situation but grateful that he had survived the previous crisis.
After being teleported to the Secret Tomb, Wilfred appeared at a point that was a little closer to that place than the one Abby and Minos had arrived at.
And with that, a larger group of the Goddess' minions had come to him and then led the way to this place.
But in the meantime of Wilfred's journey of just over a day, he and his group had to fight three times, the last one with this young man almost being killed!
If it had not been for the fact that the Goddess' subordinates had decided to flee in time, he would have died in such a place!
Considering that and the fact that he had practically been a burden to these skeletons, Wilfred could not help but feel humiliated, feel like a worthless person.
'Damn it!'
'I thought this place would just give me the prizes and then release me with a mission...' He lamented in his mind, having already realized that this test was not easy.
The skeletons continued debating. "We must form a strike group as soon as possible. Our enemies are only a few kilometers from us right now. Then we will soon have a big confrontation..."
"Oh?"
"Of confrontation, we like..." The voice of Minos came up from the surroundings when finally, the skeletons arguing there paid attention to the group that had just arrived.
"Minos!" Wilfred commented aloud, feeling happy to see that fellow in this place.
'Who knew, huh? The day would come when I would be thankful that Minos was around!' He sighed in relief, knowing that everything would be settled with the dictator of the Black Plain in this place.
"You..." The City Lord looked at Abby and recognized her as the Goddess' other chosen one, but soon saw Minos and had his attention distracted.
"Who are you?" Another skeleton in that place asked in a tone laden with doubt.
"I am the husband of Abby, this beautiful woman who will inherit what the Goddess of Life has left in this place." Minos of this out loud, smiling and embracing his queen.
"The chosen one's husband?" Many murmured, curious why the Goddess had allowed this strange person to enter the Secret Tomb.
But since he was by her side and seemed determined to help her fulfill this test, they did not waste much time talking about Minos.
"Chosen one, we are in serious trouble... Enemies are approaching us. Will you be able to help us?" The city lord asked in a concerned tone.
He was not only worried about the proximity of the enemies but about the possibility that Abby was, like Wilfred, weak...
If that were the case, this would be a tragedy for them!
Upon hearing the question from that skeleton dressed in black armor, Abby promptly answered him. "Don't worry. We'll take care of everything from now on."
She turned to Minos and indicated him with one of her hands. "From now on, obey my husband, and we will settle this battle in no time."
After those words were spoken, silence spread over miles of that place, with all the skeletons looking doubtfully at Abby.
"Are you serious? But you are the one who is the Goddess' chosen one, not him..." Someone said in an uncertain tone. "That way, you'll probably lose points with the Goddess."
"Minos is my man. He is more important than the Goddess to me." She said without hesitation, making many of those skeletons shiver.
Meanwhile, Wilfred sighed in relief, hoping to get out of this place safely. 'I can't return home until this test is over, so I'll try to make the most of opportunities to get items...'
Most of the skeletons had nothing with them. But hundreds of individuals on both sides of this confrontation wore armor, had weapons, etc.
Knowing this, Wilfred wanted to gather whatever items were left in his way to at least take something back to his family.
Minos then said. "I promise you that if you follow my words, we will solve all the problems of this first test in a few days."
"Oh? And how are we going to do that?" One of the leaders asked.
Chaotic Gravity: Float!
Upon hearing that, Minos no longer spoke and activated some of his techniques, causing thousands of those individuals to float under his control.
"Ahhhh!"
"What's that?
"What's happening?" Several voices spread from north to south, east to west, showing the shock and surprise of those victims of the subordinates of the God of Death.
Minos then said. "This is how we will defeat the opponents!"
"Join me, follow the formation I will give you in a few moments, and we will slaughter the enemies in no time!"
"Perhaps many of you will even have the chance to see the end of those opponents who once ruthlessly eliminated you!"
Upon hearing Minos' words of encouragement, the morale of those tens of thousands of skeletons rose considerably.
"Hmm, I believe him!"
"Yes, in the next few days, we will have different results than when we were alive!"
"The Goddess brought this man here, so he acts for her sake and ours!"
"Let's follow him!"
In the blink of an eye, everyone there agreed to follow Minos' words, preparing for the confrontation.
Meanwhile, a dark cloud in the sky suddenly shivered. 'That feeling...'
