While the Black Plain Army soldiers were following the battle in that area using their spiritual senses, Minos moved through the dark fog with no difficulty seeing his opponents.
The Dark Sea was a soul ability that not only messed with its targets' minds but also made it difficult for anyone within its range to see. But this was not something that affected the owner of the ability itself. The opposite of that, Minos was not only seeing those five fighting, but his senses were much better due to his ability.
The Dark Sea made the circumstances of its user's opponents more difficult while making things easier for such an individual. Thus, Minos could sense the position of each of his opponents more easily than he would have if he had not been using this ability.
At the same time, because of this, he could predict his opponents' next moves more efficiently and thus act to neutralize or even wear down his targets.
The two individuals who were fighting there and still had part of their consciousness under control to identify that all this was his manipulations were stronger than him. So he could not defeat them quickly using only his 'ordinary' techniques and skills. At most, Emperor Stuart could make it difficult for the two to fight the others, sometimes causing some minor damage.
Along with this, Sarah's father was naturally trying to steal energy only from the level 72 and 73 individuals, trying to help the level 70 and 71 ones to last in this fight.
Since these were delusional with his mental attacks, none of them were a risk to him or his soldiers.
In this way, Minos fought alongside these three individuals for about five minutes until the first of them could no longer endure his injuries and fell to his knees, already dead!
"Damn!"
"Damned Minos Stuart!" The level 73 old man screamed in anger as he felt the wounds on his body weighing him down, as he pulled a curved blade from the back of the man who had just dropped dead to the ground.
He had been forced to kill one of his subordinates!
Since this person was fully aware that this was all Minos' fault, he could not help but roar in anger, noting that his group was doomed for the worst.
The two individuals left trying to fight him, and his partner would not stop, and Minos was just as strong as at the beginning of the fight, even as he and his partner were already breathing with their tongues out.
As the Devouring Art was becoming more and more effective on them, this person could already foresee that he would soon meet his end and regretted the situation.
'Damn it! They gave us the wrong information!' He felt his years as a mercenary flash through his eyes, making this irreparable mistake for the first time in a long time.
But there was not much he could do about it. Minos was out of the curve and had a cultivation speed that ordinary people like them could not imagine.
With no prior information about the ability that had ruined them, they, too, had been taken by surprise without knowing how to react.
Thus, he could only curse Emperor Stuart, wishing the worst things for this person who would probably finish them all off.
His level 72 companion did not know what he was thinking, but it made no difference. He was also aware of their desperate situation and was already beginning to deal with the humiliation of this situation.
'I can't believe I will die at the hands of Spiritual Emperors...' He sighed, not forgetting that Minos was accompanied, and even if they managed to eliminate those other two, there would still be a lot of trouble between them and their escape.
Minos noticed that his enemies were losing their fighting spirits and began to push them even harder, knowing that this was the best time to end it all.
"All of you, attack now!" He shouted to his soldiers, not wanting to wait for this battle to continue and who knows, maybe one of those men would decide to sacrifice himself.
He had his means of protecting himself, but avoiding calamity situations like these was always good. Thus, Minos did not hesitate to order his men there.
As each of them was following the fight closely and knew the ways of Minos, when they heard their leader, none stood still.
Most of them still had their weapons in their hands, so after Minos' voice ceased, several were already attacking in the direction where their opponents should be.
Several attacks formed in the surroundings of the space darkened by Minos' soul ability, in the blink of an eye flying at the four remaining opponents.
Minos took the chance and mentally attacked the two strongest individuals there with much of his energy. He wanted to make them as vulnerable as possible in the fraction of a second he had.
"Damn, damn bastard!" The stronger of the two noticed Minos' shameless movement, but by the time he reacted, it was too late.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Such a person shouted as he felt the mental annoyance caused by the Infinite Dream, covering up the sounds of the two weaker Spiritual Saints.
Those two were the ones who were the worse off from the fight that had unfolded so far, both of them soaked in blood, exhausted almost to the point that they could no longer stand.
Hence, when the attacks of dozens of Spiritual Emperors hit their bodies, they began to howl in pain.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" The other strongest Spiritual Saint screamed as he felt parts of his body burning. At the same time, cuts appeared every millisecond on his legs and arms.
He was in a defensive position, but with so many attacks coming at him and Minos mentally bothering him, he had no choice but to suffer.
"Come on, kill the damned! Take out the anger they put us through!"
"This is our time!"
"Ah, for the Black Plain!"
"Die, you bastards!"
Several soldiers shouted in delight, using the little energy they had to help Minos kill those individuals as quickly as possible.
And just like that, in just 20 seconds, three more Spiritual Saints fell in that border area, leaving behind only the level 73 individual, the strongest of them all.
But his survival to this point was no big deal since, with so many attacks suffered and spiritual exhaustion, this man had reached this point practically dead!
Minos saw this from his position and looked into this person's eyes one last time. "Do you have any last words?"
"Hah... Ahhh... Hah... You... Hah... You will... Die!" He said in a highly exhausted but low tone, similar to those falling asleep, no longer so aware of what he was talking about. "Hah... What... Will you do... Against high-level... Spiritual Saints?"
"Oh?" Minos looked at that individual and put that information in his mind before deciding to end this man's life with one blow.
He flew at that person until he was less than two meters away from this bleeding opponent and made a horizontal movement with his sword toward that enemy's neck.
Swooish!
As the dark mist in that area disappeared, the head of that level 73 Spiritual Saint was separated from the rest of his body, along with the end of that expert's life.
That way, the battle was over!
