The Rise of the Black Plain

While Forrest acted for the good of the group, the weaker of the elven party and Vico's emissaries felt their powers diminish, and Minos transferred their cultivation bases to his wives.

In the blink of an eye, his wives increased their cultivation by one level, strengthening their skills and techniques.

Unfortunately, the enemies already knew what Abby was capable of, and with several of them focusing on her, she could not get any space to merge her techniques, even with her group's actions.

However, this was not necessarily a victory for the elven group!

After Minos' initial attack, 3 of the elven partners who tried to act against Abby had their minds destroyed by Dragon's Gaze and were already dead in the area!

With the first bodies on the ground in the opening moments of the battle, the fight soon began to heat up as the now level 90 elves countered Minos' initial move.

"Damn you, human. Today, I will rip everything you have from your corpse!" One of them shouted at him, forming giant wooden snakes out of the ground in the area and heading towards Minos.

This elf was level 90, but such an attack had a strength similar to the attacks of level 93 humans with Golden-grade techniques!

This was stronger than Minos could withstand with his normal strength at the moment.

Seeing this powerful attack, Minos manipulated the space around him and changed his position while appearing on the back of this elf.

Chaotic Gravity: Meteors of Destruction!

Appearing behind the attacking elf, Minos already had several landmasses behind him that quickly flew toward the enemy the moment he gestured forward.

The other elf was as focused on killing Minos as the members of the Travisani family sent by Vico. This one, too, manipulated space, appearing near Minos with the intention of eliminating him in one fell swoop.

The elf sliced the air with a sword, aiming for Minos' neck.

As the sword moved, a gigantic bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above this elf's body, hitting him full-on as Ruth used one of her techniques.

The level difference between the two was huge, and such an attack only caused the elf to miss his movement by less than 2%.

But for Minos, who currently had fantastic spatial manipulation abilities due to his level 100 dragon heritage, that was enough to move through space for the enemy's blow to miss him.

Thus, while one of the elves was suffering from the meteor shower caused by Minos, one of Vico's men managed to come out of his mental confusion and attack his target.

Piercing Sword!

In the blink of an eye, he passed Minos while a sword spinning on its own axis quickly passed through the brown-haired young man's waist, piercing the right side of his waist!

This blow contained a lot of the level 92 Demigod's power. It even damaged Minos' armor a bit until it wounded his waist!

However, the blood from there barely soiled the blade of this opponent's weapon as Minos' wound closed.

"What?"

"You bastard. You're going to die for this!" Minos retorted, feeling pain even though Ruth's skill had already closed his wound.

Explosive Steps!

Minos activated his movement technique before making a few hand seals and activating his latest technique.

Divine Seal: Hell!

Appearing on the man's back, Minos didn't hesitate to inscribe a seal on his back before orange flames exploded from that spot, covering the opponent's entire body.

He was a level 92 cultivator, so this alone would not be enough to kill him. Knowing this, Minos continued with his defensive technique, activating his Indestructible Body and attacking the man's neck.

As he quickly moved one of his hands towards his opponent's neck, the air around Minos' Soul Avatar's hand created spatial cracks as it moved, making the space around it increasingly chaotic.

Pow!

Upon striking the neck, Minos sent his opponent's burning body far away as a scream of pain erupted from the man's throat.

"Aaaagh!"

Meanwhile, Forrest attacked one of the two elves who tried to take action against Minos, forming orange and golden flames from the glowing eyes of the Seraph Avatar.

Sss!

"Die, you bastard!"

This time, his level was much higher than when he had encountered these creatures. Moreover, seeing that he would have problems with these elves and Vico's group, Forrest realized that he could not risk letting these enemies escape alive!

Unlike his last confrontation with them, he now had the chance to kill them and didn't hesitate.

The only way for anyone to know what had happened in this space would be to return to the mainland alive and then spread the word throughout the Spiritual World. But if everyone who knew about the events there kept quiet, it would be straightforward to escape from vengeful relatives!

With this in mind, Forrest struck at the elf's body, piercing the elf's abdomen with flames capable of burning even dragon scales.

Elves were very talented and powerful but were not known for their physical strength or ability to withstand attacks.

Feeling the enemy's attack hit him without having time to dodge, the elf howled in pain, unable to pay attention to Minos, and looked at Forrest in anger.

"Motherfucker!"

Meanwhile, Minos' wives joined the defense of Ruth and especially Abby, using their skills and techniques to try at least to deflect the attacks of the few enemies who were focused on preventing the blue-haired beauty's techniques from merging.

A large silver barrier covered Abby's surroundings, while Gloria kept as much of her innate ability active as possible, manipulating the mercury around her harem sisters.

Even though she was only a level 82 Sage, her mercury was so dense and strong that Gloria could withstand even level 89 attacks in her full defense state!

Meanwhile, Isabella maintained a barrier of flames in front of Gloria's defenses, combining her powers with the other redhead's to reduce the power of enemy attacks that reached them.

Noticing her harem sisters' efforts to help her, Abby did what she could to merge her techniques, trying to ignore the enemies and focus on her two Golden-grade techniques left by the Goddess of Life.

'Rise from the darkness, my warriors!'
