The Rise of the Black Plain

As the ten glowing swords moved toward the large wooden dragon, they pierced the creature's body one by one.

The first of these swords fell on its head, immediately dimming the intensity of its glow as inscriptions formed around the sword.

Forrest and his person immediately noticed the pressure against their movements decrease after only one of these swords had penetrated this creature, and they were surprised.

Then, another blade fell on the creature's tail, others on its legs, and several on its back, impaling it to the ground.

Each time one penetrated its large wooden body, more inscriptions appeared around the swords penetrating it. In contrast, the ones already on the body increased in size.

With 8 blades penetrating its body, the wooden dragon stopped moving altogether while the inscriptions growing around it began to merge.

Minos dropped the last two swords on that creature, controlling everything while making a hand seal and using a large amount of spiritual energy from the environment to maintain that fusion.

When the last of those swords fell on that creature, the entire wooden dragon began to turn to stone as the swords embedded in its body solidified.

At the same time, the tenth of those swords grew in size as spiritual lines joined the other nine and solidified as if it were a large sword-shaped building set against a small mountain.

No longer feeling any spiritual fluctuation from this creature, Forrest stopped pressing against the wooden dragon and looked at Minos in surprise. "You..."

"I didn't just raise my level," Minos said as he noticed the other Demigods also looked at him curiously.

Minos had been able to do this fusion before. But when he came to this place, he had no reason to face the wooden dragon head-on. Not only that, but he was also weaker than now.

His comprehension of cultivation had greatly increased after absorbing the previous purple fruit!

After that, he gained a new attribute that indirectly affected his ability to seal things!

"Don't get too confident. The wooden dragon will be stuck in this seal for a week at most. We'd better move while it's in this situation." Minos said, looking around, searching for the spiritual fluctuation he had felt a few minutes ago, the reason why his group had finally moved toward this wooden dragon.

"A week? That's pretty good." Forrest commented, feeling that if the wooden dragon was level 90, it was probably in danger of being sealed indefinitely by Minos' fusion!

That was a terrible fusion!

The weakest Demigod in the group was shocked by Minos' abilities, still amazed after weeks of living and fighting alongside Emperor Stuart.

But he soon became serious and said. "Someone threw this wooden dragon at us. I think we have enemies nearby, waiting to see us weakened."

The others became more serious and put aside Minos' shocking ability to pay attention to the area.

They all found the courage to turn their backs on Minos' sealed creature, checking their surroundings for possible enemies.

Narrowing his eyes and focusing on his surroundings, Forrest soon found a spatial distortion.

He was the disciple of the Supreme Pontiff of the Spiritual Church for a reason. As one of the most gifted youths the Evergreen Empire had ever produced, Forrest was very talented and soon noticed the group's trail near this area.

"Show yourselves!" He shouted in the direction where he felt a level 92 Demigod was watching him. "You tried to eliminate us with that dragon? What do you want with us?"

With those words from Forrest, his group kept their guard up while Minos still felt his cultivation at level 85, enough for him to do two or three more fusions before returning to normal.

"If you don't move now, I will destroy this entire pace." Minos threatened, but he didn't talk tough without methods to achieve what he said!

Of all the people who had entered this Spatial Kingdom, Minos was the second one who actually had the power to destroy this entire space!

The Sky Whale could do that by using all his power in continuous attacks for a while, but Minos could do that with the black hole.

One of the elves in the area looked at Minos and strangely felt that this Sage's words were not an empty threat.

"How would you do that, young human?" The strongest elf of the group, level 89, said as he appeared hundreds of meters in front of Minos' group. "I feel that your words are true, even if unbelievable."

"I think you would prefer not to know how," Minos said as he looked into the eyes of this being, a tall man with the typical appearance of beings blessed with spiritual energy.

"Hahahaha, I really prefer that." He said as he looked deeply into the brown eyes of this strange human.

The aura emitted by Minos was frightening even to him!

Obviously, what scared this elf was not Minos' power level since he himself was stronger than this human. The most frightening thing was that a level 83 Sage was able to do such a terrible thing.

Besides, the elf could clearly sense that Minos' real level was not 85.

"You have some strange power inside you, huh?" This being's eyes opened wider when the others of his group appeared in the surroundings. "It's not for nothing that someone from my people has already chosen you."

Minos made an ugly face as the church people looked at him in surprise, hearing this for the first time.

"What is he talking about?" Forrest asked.

Then, the other elf in the group, a level 89 woman, answered in Minos' place. "This level 83 human is connected to someone from our tribe. His fate is already sealed with one of us. I can feel the contract between them."

"What? Is that true?" The second strongest of Minos' group asked, feeling sorry for the young man for letting himself be tricked by an elf.

Forrest did not like to hear that at all, fearing to lose his precious allies.

"Unfortunately, it is true. But the elf who did this will regret forcing me into such a disadvantageous deal. When I go to Elves Island in the future, I will fulfill my agreement with her and severely punish her."

"Hahaha, you have high hopes, young human. Why don't you make a deal with me and give up that old agreement? I assure you that I can end your relationship with her!" The elf said, mischievously looking at Minos while wishing for the strange power this human possessed.
