Chapter 2288 Arrival at The Obsidian Shore

After five months of travel, Minos' group finally reached The Obsidian Shore's outskirts.

After a long journey with many problems so far, the group would enter the last city on their way this afternoon, from where they intended to continue to the place where they would split up tomorrow.

As they entered this city later that afternoon, they encountered a place with little presence of aliens. But even so, the place had a few other individuals from outside Zocarro.

That was not to surprise anyone. Even though this was an alien-unfriendly place, the natural phenomena that made the area of The Obsidian Shore virtually impenetrable for most of the time had recently changed with the end of a cycle.

For the next few years, this place would be accessible to Grandmasters or weaker individuals, so forces from various parts of the continent had already sent members to explore it.

Consequently, when they arrived in this city, the group encountered beings from other planets and many natives of Zacorro who were not common in the region they were in now.

Some of these beings were only there to escort groups like Minos', who would enter the dangerous and precious area nearby. However, some of the newcomers to the city in recent days were coming for other reasons.

What was in that dangerous region was very valuable. If an unsupported individual found something and survived their passage through The Obsidian Shore, organizations of all kinds would try to recruit them.

Not only that, if someone without support or from some 'weak' force got their hands on important things, many would be ready to take the earnings of cultivators who got their hands on more than they could afford.

...

In that city, a group of high-level 11th-stage beings were gathered somewhere.

The place looked like a party room, and the experts were eating and drinking.

However, this wasn't a celebratory gathering, as it might seem at first glance. There were the strongest envoys of the forces, with members preparing to enter The Obsidian Shore!

At the same time, Minos' group had just settled into a local establishment.

While the group's Sovereigns were stationing themselves around the group in different positions to ensure their safety, Minos was meeting with the 7 members of his team who would be entering The Obsidian Shore tomorrow.

He looked at the aliens and his Spiritual World companions and said. "Tomorrow, we will enter The Obsidian Shore. As far as we know, the area has natural hazards at the Sovereign level. So we can't go wrong with our strategy.

Each of you must carry on with your duties, as I've already shared. But if you have something to say, seize the moment. Once we enter that area, I won't accept any changes."

Minos' companions agreed with him, but one of the aliens in the group said. "Isn't it too risky to bet everything on you? I know you're strong, Soldier. But there are dangers capable of killing high-level Sovereigns in the area we'll be entering."

"Exactly." Minos agreed with that alien. "Do you think it will make a difference to us if everyone acts freely and tries their best?"

"That..."

"You're right. Acting on trust or otherwise won't make any difference. If we come across something capable of killing high-level Sovereigns, we'll end up perishing in that place," another alien said. "But are you sure you don't want to change our plans a little? I see no problem in lending you my forces. But that will make you have to deal with all the problems that get in our way."

"Don't worry; I'll be fine. You just have to do what we agreed to. Lend me your powers, protect Ruth, and help me reach the guild's area of interest. We can all gain a lot if we can do this without misunderstandings.

I give you my word that if we can find places to get stronger, I'll help everyone get what they have compatible."

The aliens listened to Minos and felt more comfortable and interested in following his plans.

...

While Minos' group was planning the actions that would be very relevant to them from tomorrow onwards, a level 110 individual that Emperor Stuart already knew arrived in this city accompanied by his young master.

"What do we do now?"

"All we can do now is wait. There's nothing we can do inside The Obsidian Shore. We'll have to wait for our target to succeed and leave that place."
