The Rise of the Black Plain

When he heard Minos' name mentioned there, the level 89 elder who had lost his wife to the group sent by Maximillian in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom was the first to react, surprised to hear it from this guy so soon after the event.

He and Demi thought it would take a few years for Minos to complete his journey between the Central Continent and the Continent of Beasts.

After all, since they were going to gather a group while passing through various sea areas, it was expected that they would take their time to get to know each place before moving on to the next.

Thus, this elder was surprised to hear that Minos was already in this tribe, as he had promised months ago.

'He really traveled fast... Didn't he stop once to get to know the places he passed?' He wondered, not knowing what Minos' goal was on this journey.

Minos hadn't told the group that had traveled through the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom with his staff everything about his plans. He had talked about a few points, especially with Forrest's group, but he hadn't gone into detail with the Nine-Tailed Foxes and the Phoenix.

So this guy didn't know how much Minos was in a hurry.

"Where is he?" Blake, the elder who had returned from the Central Continent with Demi, asked, eager to see Minos again and welcome him into his tribe as he should.

Minos could already be considered a great friend of the Nine-Tailed Fox tribe after everything that had happened in that event months ago.

Without his help, the foxes who returned from that space alive would never have taken revenge on some of their great enemies, nor would they have had half of the gains they had there.

After hearing the elder's tone, the other high-ranking members of the tribe realized that this newcomer was indeed the person Demi and Blake had said they had met on that continent.

"So this young man is already in our territory?"

"Chap, lead us to him."

The high-ranking foxes in the place said almost simultaneously, showing the level 75 'youth' that Minos' group was truly friends of the tribe and not enemies as the elders who had stopped the group feared.

He said. "He and his group are being stopped outside the city by a group of elders standing guard."

"What? That's terrible!"

"We should have told the rest of the high elders about this young man and what happened to Demi."

"But since we didn't, now they have embarrassed us in front of young Minos..."

The few who knew about what had happened in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom commented as they walked, letting the level 75 'youth' show them the way.

They would have preferred to receive Minos, someone so talented and so important to this tribe, in a more respectful and friendly manner.

Stopping him outside of the city and surrounding him as if he and his group were criminals was not the best way to welcome a friend into your home!

Seeing the concern of these elders, the level 75 'youth' stood with his mouth open as he was carried by a level 89 elder.

'Are they that important?' He asked himself, feeling good again for leading this group.

While he was thinking this, he and the other level 89 elders who had heard him moments ago quickly got close enough to where Minos and his group were surrounded by a dozen foxes between levels 85 and 86.

There, the group of nearly 30 beings with Minos was surrounded by 15 large foxes, enough to make these four elders scream as soon as they saw them.

"Return to your posts immediately!" One of them shouted at the men, looking at them with wide eyes.

Meanwhile, Blake took the group lead and walked over to Minos and his wives with a happy expression.

"Young Minos, it's good to see you again." He said as he carried the level 75 junior, but he also noticed the presence of Emlyn and Kyla with this foreign group.

Minos and his wives stood over Emlyn, while Kyla sat next to her mother, who stood to greet these elders of her tribe.

Kyla had never been there before and didn't know how much to respect these level 89 elders. However, her mother had heard about them when she was still living in the tribe and respected them very much, as they had thousands of years of experience and service to the tribe.

Even Emlyn's parents' parents had been in the tribe under the protection of these same elders!

As such, she stood in front of them, respectfully bowing her head while keeping Minos and his family at her back, at a height where they could speak to the newly arrived elders.

"Blake, it's good to see you too," Minos said as his wives waved to the old fox.

The other three level 89 elders quickly approached this group, looking at Minos with great respect, but they couldn't help but notice the women with him, especially the black-haired woman and the one with blue hair.

Both of them had monstrous abilities that could not be underestimated!

This was especially true for Abby, who could even summon a high-level army of the dead to serve her!

'And she's only level 82...' One of the elders there sensed Abby's power, remembering what he had heard from Demi and Blake.

Meanwhile, the others couldn't help but feel the pressure of Minos' presence, who looked like a dragon in a human body.

"Your Majesty Minos Stuart!" They said simultaneously, making the same gesture as they would for very important guests.

Meanwhile, the foxes who had stopped Minos' group a moment ago couldn't help but open their mouths as they retreated from the area, noticing how respectable this newcomer was.

After the first words of the reunion, Blake focused on Emlyn and Kyla and asked. "Are these the two foxes you mentioned earlier? They are mighty for their age."

Minos pointed to Kyla and said. "I've been raising her since she was born. In just over 50 years, she was born and went from level 0 to 80."

"What?"

All the beasts in the area, not only the level 89 foxes but also the level 75 fox, the land and sea beasts in Minos' group, all looked at Kyla with wide eyes and mouths.

This was a ridiculous cultivation speed!

Kyla had practically reached the peak of her potential in less than 100 years, while the elders of the Nine-Tailed Fox tribe usually took thousands of years to achieve the same!
