When the event horizon of the black hole distorted in the direction of Abe, this former crown prince of Vogel felt his whole body being restricted by something.
But this was not the action of the Spatial Sword, but the power of the black hole itself that was generating attraction in its own direction, drawing Abe towards itself like a great suction cup.
Due to the action of this extreme force of nature, Abe could not move, even though he was trying with all his energy to pull back.
His soul avatar was fully active, with his great silhouette trying to flee from there, with his back to that black hole. However, the result of Minos' fusion of techniques was not easy to avoid, even more so for someone at only level 72.
That way, with each second, Abe was feeling less and less able to react to the enemy attack, losing his position as he approached that frightening darkness.
"Damn it!"
"Minos Stuart, you'll be bitterly sorry if you do this!" He shouted amid his despair, not being able to count on his mercenaries' help since they were also in bad situations.
Those outside the reach of Minos' black hole were having fights with this emperor's wives. But, on the other hand, the other Spiritual Saints were being restricted by this region of space, barely able to move.
So Abe was alone in this place against Minos while this emperor was looking at his enemy with bloodlust. "I decide whether I will repent or not!"
Minos focused more of his energies on devouring Abe. He made the situation so complex that it seemed that at any moment, that individual's avatar would lose connection with his body and be swallowed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh! What the hell!!!"
"Holy shit!" He screamed wildly, unable to accept that he would die without being able to get revenge.
But as he felt the end was near, a rock cut through the air from far away, hitting Abe's body and sending him dozens of meters away from Minos.
When this happened, the smile on Minos' face froze.
His opponent was almost being devoured, so how could he not be highly irritated by this situation?
When that stone hit Abe's body, his fleshy body and soul avatar was thrown away from Minos. This young man lost his opponent since he could not move easily and had those Spiritual Saints to deal with.
Therefore, even when Abe lost consciousness after being hit by the rock in question, Minos was at a loss!
"Shit!"
"Who did that?" He looked at the surroundings, feeling that there should have been at least one high-level Spiritual Saint nearby.
Only someone near the beginning of the 9th stage could do something like what had just happened. So Minos soon became suspicious of Abe's possible helpers, such as those who should be attacking the Spiritual Church in the main city of Vogel.
'Damn it!'
'I can't believe I was so unlucky!' Minos lamented in his mind, feeling that the enemy would not act against him but that he would no longer be able to end Abe's life today.
At that moment, when Abe had landed far from Minos, a hand appeared from a fracture in space. Such a hand caught him, causing him to disappear as if he had never passed through the area.
Minos saw this and realized the level of the problem. 'A damned Spiritual Sage!'
...
Meanwhile, dozens of kilometers west of where Minos was terrorizing his opponents, the Spiritual Sage, who was keeping an eye on the situation, placed Abe's body in front of him.
'Well, you can't die yet...' He looked at this poor fellow, feeling that his throw had been a bit strong since it had made Abe faint.
But he did not feel bad about it as it was only because of his action that Abe had escaped Minos' black hole.
'But that thing is quite powerful, huh... I hadn't thought that thing would get to this point.' This man pondered, feeling that he could not have rescued Abe if he was not a 9th-stage cultivator.
He sighed and looked back at the battlefield. Then this person used his spatial control skill, typical of cultivators of this stage, to pick up another person on that battlefield.
After a level 70 Spiritual Saint appeared next to Abe, that Spiritual Sage departed the area without saying anything or even being noticed.
That mercenary looked from one side of that area to the other, shocked that he had disappeared from his position, where two women surrounded him and, out of nowhere, arrived at this place.
"Sigh!"
'I don't know what happened, but I was saved!' He thought about it in relief, feeling that his group's attack would fail.
Since earlier he could not teleport away due to the action of Minos' black hole, finding himself in this place, he thanked the heavens and prepared to flee.
"Uh? Boss?" He saw Abe's body lying in front of him and did not hesitate to grab such a person to run away.
Thus, this man activated the teleportation devices of the two of them not long before they disappeared from there without leaving a trace.
...
Meanwhile, on the main battlefield...
Abby and Ruth had just lost sight of one of their enemies. Still, they did not pay much attention to that, turning their focus to the other low-level Spiritual Saints in the area.
The two were almost exhausted by now, but since their husband's black hole had already absorbed over 60% of the 8th-stage enemies, things were starting to calm down.
So even though they were not far from their limits, the two continued to act, less and less focused on Spiritual Saints and slowly beginning to help their allies.
Among those who had started fighting in that area today, the ones who had suffered the most so far had been the high-level Spiritual Kings of Minos' organization. That group had lost a few hundred such people and a few dozen Spiritual Emperors to eliminate 40% of the enemies and hold off the rest on the battlefield.
But they had successfully prevented escapes, helping the local forces punish those enemies who had dared to enter the core of the Black Plain.
When Minos realized this, he finished defeating his opponents, which was getting easier and easier for him because of how his black hole worked.
It was just a pity that as the power of such a thing increased, it became more difficult to control in battles like today.
So this day's battle ended, with Minos' group emerging victorious but with a taste of defeat because the enemy leader had escaped.
That was practically a guarantee that trouble would continue to approach them!
That way, when Minos eliminated the enemy Spiritual Emperors alongside his wife, he took out all the anger that the mysterious person who saved Abe had provoked in him.
'Damn it!'
'How did I miss such a good opportunity?'
