With her first attack, Ruth severely wounded one of the three women now at level 75 while eliminating more than 30 other people of lower levels.historical

But since her goal was extermination, she didn't stop her movements. Instead, she aimed at another of those stronger women in the area, making her Soul Avatar punch in their direction.

Ruth had specialized in close combat, so several of her techniques were related to her fists, and she was very agile, moving and also dodging.

Because of this, while being attacked by the more desperate women, she easily dodged most of the blows before punching the face of another level 75 cultivator.

"Ouch!"

That person couldn't defend herself well and felt Ruth's powerful fist slowly crack her soul-projection face.

Crack!

But that would not last long. Being so close to that person, Ruth took advantage of the moment and turned her body around, aiming a kick toward where that person's meaty body was.

The specialists in the surrounding area saw this and became concerned but could do nothing but scream in worry.

Pow!

When a part of Ruth's spiritual legs hit her target, that body that had begun to crack in the face became totally broken.

Then, as it flew backward due to the momentum gained, that thing exploded, unprotecting that woman's fleshy body.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Bastard!" The third strongest woman there screamed in anger at the sight of that, feeling that her senior might die from that attack!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

More screams spread to the surroundings as debris and remaining blows took the lives of the weaker women in the surroundings, who, even on the run, would meet no fate other than death.

Minos wasn't even having to worry about keeping the women trying to escape nearby so as not to allow any successful escapes. Ruth handled these women with relative ease, even though she was alone against many of them!

Fists of Pain: Multiple Punches!

Ruth then positioned her two clasped hands against each other, with the bones of her four fingers on each hand pressed together.

At the same time as this, she activated another of her offensive techniques, causing blue lightning to appear in her surroundings.

Fists of Thunder: Multiple Punches!

Ruth then activated two techniques in combination, fusing them in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the effects of this powerful fusion, capable of even eliminating level 77 Spiritual Saints, showed themselves.

In that instant, dozens of fists, the size of houses, formed in the surroundings of Ruth's Soul Avatar as they glowed brightly as if cracks in her fingers were pulsing.

However, those were not cracks, but lightning contained within those fists, growing stronger as the Natural Laws concerning this in the surroundings merged with Ruth's will.

Following the formation of the many fists, they began to fall over that area, like rain about to flood an entire area.

Unluckily for the people in the surrounding area, the ones who would be 'flooded' would be them!

Pow!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

...

Pow!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Screams and more screams spread to the surroundings of that lake, with the stronger ones suffering from this attack that broke most of their bones, leaving them ready to die but still with a few gasps.

As for the weaker ones, all their organs were totally obliterated the moment they were hit, so they didn't make any sound when Ruth's fists hit them.

They would only lose consciousness at first and then be totally crushed against the ground when the fists would press them against the adjacent ground.

The stronger ones, still alive, would suffer considerably from these ends, being further injured and unable to continue in this battle.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

But some of them were strong enough to suffer in pain for a few moments longer, just to witness that area now destroyed and littered with the remains of their sect members and even family.

"Ahhhhhhhh! cursed Minos, cursed Ruth Miles!" One of the level 75 women, still conscious enough to speak, but destined for death because of her injuries, screamed wildly, crying tears of blood.

"Die!" She said in utter desolation as she burned what was left of her soul to begin the sacrifice.

Minos saw that and did not move from in front of Little Green and Gloria, leaving Ruth to resolve this situation alone.

But as someone intelligent, he wouldn't waste all the power that woman wanted to throw away...

So immediately, Minos placed the black hole that had absorbed part of Mortimer in front of him and prepared to witness the sacrifice of that initially level 76 woman.

Ruth realized the problem and promptly activated her defensive technical, Nothingness.

Ka-Boooom!

In the blink of an eye, the body of that woman, who looked young despite her age, aged to look like a mummy. Then a ball of dark energy that had formed in front of her glowed until it exploded!

The explosion was powerful, causing the air to be dragged in such a way that it could easily devastate that entire forest if nothing stopped it.

The explosion was also quite powerful, and by the time it happened, nothing within a 200-meter radius of its focus except Ruth had evaporated in a single instant.

Luckily, Ruth's technique could temporarily negate the material characteristic of her body, making her invulnerable to physical attacks for a few seconds!

But that woman's sacrifice would be totally in vain. With Minos in that place, as soon as he realized that his wife had gotten rid of the worst of it with ease, he immediately let the black hole he was carrying suck up all that energy.

With his movement, before that explosion reached the entire lake and destroyed everything for tens of kilometers, it was swallowed up by that powerful region of space.

"Sigh... They all died." Gloria sighed as she noticed the bodies not degraded by the earlier explosion, feeling no more signs of life among the women from earlier.

Only a few beasts that had not fought for fear of the worst remained alive in the area.

Although these beasts were also members of that sect, such beings historically were more easily controlled by a war winner than humans.

Beasts were usually loyal to their masters when they had one. But often, these creatures could live much longer than humans. So, they became mounts for descendants or protectors of their masters' organizations after their masters' deaths.

This job was also something that beasts would strive to honor, but their loyalty would not be so solid.

Some would not even honor anything when their masters died. Instead, they would just promise not to harm their masters' descendants or even the organization.

So in this situation, most of them did not fight and submitted to Minos and his women at the end of this confrontation.

With that settled, seeing Minos storing the black hole back in a mirrored device, Little Green approached him while Ruth and Gloria went to collect the resources from those people.

"Where do we go now?" Little Green asked.

"We're going to the headquarters of the Saints Killing Sect while we wait for the likely location of the other fugitives," Minos said.
