When the body of that level 57 Spiritual King finally fell to the ground, all the people in the surrounding area heaved a sigh of relief that the battle had come to an end.
Two of those eight people alive in this place were just tired, with no severe injuries on their bodies. But, on the other hand, three individuals there, although not at risk of losing their lives, were injured to such an extent that their lives from now on would have to be different.
Either because of a missing part of their bodies or the excessive damage, they could hardly treat in this region. As a result, they would now have to live with fighting proficiencies below their cultivation levels.
Such were the cases of the two Stokes family elders and the Nash family elder who had earlier withdrawn from the battle that took place in this place.
As for the three who had continued the fight against that level 57 Spiritual King until Celeste's blow, each of them was severely injured and almost exhausted. But with local medical help, pills, and a few weeks of rest, they would be as well as they had been before such a fight.
With that, those more wounded people there did not hold back. Instead, after seeing that person's corpse resting on the ground, they soon sat down at different points, relaxing their bodies from the tension that would always exist during battles.
"Phew!"
"It's finally over!"
"Hah... Hah... But it was a lot harder than we had imagined..." The level 55 Stokes family member said this as he looked at his companions and lamented.
On the other hand, the Nashs were quite pleased now.
"Hahaha, now our family will be able to surpass the Allens!" Richard said in satisfaction, almost as if the pain around his body didn't matter.
He knew that the House Allen side was still powerful, and it would be quite a job to eliminate that family. But with the loss of four mighty pillars, this Stone Island organization would not sustain itself for long!
That's because their allies would not support a power that had lost its leaders, those individuals who other regional organizations truly valued. After all, who would sacrifice themselves for someone that could be significantly threatened even by low-level regional powers?
That is, the Allen family still had many Spiritual Kings, but none of them were as strong as most of the patriarchs of the regional noble families!
Most of the patriarchs of the noble families in this region were at least at level 56. But the Allens had just lost the only four individuals with this minimum power at or above that level.
Thus, even if it wasn't easy to eliminate the rest of this family, virtually any regional noble house could cause serious problems for them.
Therefore, it was most likely that from the moment the news of the deaths of those people got out from here, many of the allies of that organization would slowly abandon the Allen family 'boat.'
And even if some had agreements that might force them to act even in this situation, that didn't mean that much to the Nash family at this point.
There were only four high-level noble families on Stone Island, among them the Nash and Neel families, who were allies. Beyond them was the Allen family, which had just suffered this blow. So, the only family left was as an organization of blacksmiths, similar to Elena's family.
Such a noble house was on the side of the Allen family alliance, but they had no high-level warriors.
Consequently, there were no Spiritual Kings above level 56 among the Allen family allies, making them vulnerable to Elena's family alliance!
Hence, even though Richard knew it would not be easy or quick to finish off the Allen family, he laughed in satisfaction. They would just need to act carefully and persist in eliminating such an organization.
With this, sooner or later, they would be able to finish this problem, ending the war of these two noble houses of Stone Island.
Anyway, while Richard was laughing and talking with the other family members there, Celeste was collecting the belongings of some of the corpses next to Marvin.
"How does the patriarch Marvin want to divide the resources of those six people?" She asked as she looked at that man thoughtfully as if she was asking a rhetorical question.
Seeing this, Marvin smiled awkwardly, but he soon answered her. "Without the help of Miss Celeste and the Black Plain Army, we naturally would not have been able to defeat those people."
"So naturally, all the items in those people belong to you."
"Hmm, then I won't hold back..." She commented as she walked toward Marvin and then unceremoniously took the four spatial rings in that man's hand.
Upon seeing this, Marvin said nothing, but he did not feel bad that Celeste took such resources. After all, he still had a war to fight against the rest of the Allen family, and when this conflict was over, his family could absorb much more than just the belongings of these six people.
And while that woman was counting her and the army's earnings, the patriarch then asked. "What are you going to do now?"
Celeste then continued what she was doing while answering such a question. "Now that we have settled our affairs here on Stone Island, we will return to the Black Plain."

"We have a much worse war than you on our doorstep..."
"I see..."
"Well, when we settle our affairs here on Stone Island, we will send reinforcements to help you in the Black Plain's war of independence." He said, showing his gratitude for this help Minos had given his family.
Marvin knew that Minos had no obligation to help him since they were only trading partners. But, still, young Stuart had sent help to House Nash!
For that, he was very grateful to Minos and the Black Plain.
He knew that that young man had probably done it for selfish reasons. But that didn't make any difference to Marvin.
Or rather, he preferred it that way!
After all, who doesn't act out of self-interest?
Only a crazy or naive person would do dangerous things for the good of others in the Spiritual World.
And as the leader of the Nash family, he didn't want to be in an alliance with such a person.
In his view, someone like that was like a time bomb!
In any case, he was grateful for Minos' support. That was why he had made such a promise.
"Hmm, I hope we won't need it, but that's good to know..." Celeste commented just after she finished scanning those six spatial rings.
She then looked in the direction of the three members of the Stokes family who had come to this place with her and said. "You three, I will borrow your spiritual beast."
"What?" All three said simultaneously.
They had fought and suffered so much in this place, but this woman said such a thing as if she was abandoning them.
Their leader then asked Celeste, looking at her with an indignant look. "And how will we return home? Are you leaving us here?"
"What? Did you guys, by any chance, want me to stay here until you were ready to return?" She asked while having a smile on her face.
"Sorry guys, the war against the Brown family doesn't stop just because you suffered in this battle.
"You are wounded and will need a few days of rest so that you can travel around our region. But I am well enough to return to the Black Plain and fight in the war." She said seriously.
"But don't worry, when I arrive at the naval base, I will have a soldier escort your beast back here."
"After that, you can go to Dry City to receive more specialized medical treatment or simply return to your territory in the Cromwell Kingdom."
"You decide..."
"But now I have to leave."
Hearing this, the three felt much better, relieved to know that they were not simply being abandoned in this place.
On the other hand, Richard soon took the opportunity to invite those three to stay with the Nash family. "Friends from..."
...
It didn't take long, and soon Celeste was already flying through the skies of Stone Island as she returned to the Black Plain.
But meanwhile, in one of the Allen family groups preparing to act against House Nash....
