The Rise of the Black Plain

As the living creatures in the surrounding forest turned to stone at the sight of the two strongest creatures that had survived Minos' move, he and his party moved at high speed.

The Gorgons' ability went beyond a look in their eyes. If one made such a move, the Gorgon wouldn't even have to bother to turn living beings into stone. As long as she didn't suppress her own ability, anyone who looked into her eyes would turn to stone. However, during combat, these creatures could also turn living beings hit by power shots out of their eyes.

These shots were not continuous but happened at a high frequency while their eyes were open, enough to hit beings standing still in their vision and turn them to stone.

As soon as they started fighting in this forest area, several unfortunate trees and small creatures in their range turned to stone as they moved around, trying to target Minos and the strongest of their enemies.

Minos and his group had suddenly ceased to be a team powerful enough for them not to want to fight for a group of monsters that could wipe them out in an instant.

If they couldn't kill the strongest ones there, they would be killed and would have no chance to avenge their fallen comrades!

As for running away, that would never work.

Since Minos was so strong, and the Demigods in his group were temporarily at a higher level because of his ability, there was no way these Gorgons could run away.

If they tried, they would surely be killed.

In this situation, it was kill or be killed!

Ignoring Titus, Minos' four wives, and the other nearby Sages, the Gorgons only had in mind Emperor Stuart and his two allied Demigods, who were currently at level 92.

But even though they were only targeting the three strongest in the area, they were still dangerous enough for the whole group, and naturally, Titus, Minos' wives, and all the others ignored by these Gorgons were on the move as they felt a chill run down their spines.

If they were careless and fell into the sight of these creatures, they would be in serious danger!

"Damn it! They are moving too fast! If it weren't for that..." Abby commented as she flew alongside her harem sisters in a cold sweat.

"Let's not try to interfere," Gloria commented to her harem sisters, knowing it would be complicated for them to make room for Abby to merge their techniques.

At the same time, Ruth only used her ability on the weakest of the group because as much as the strongest might be in danger, she wouldn't be able to keep up with them and stay around to help.

Meanwhile, Minos and the stronger ones moved around, dodging enemy blows while attacking the two creatures themselves.

Devouring Art!

Two black rings appeared around the two half-human, half-beast creatures, immediately making them feel the energy under their control diminishes.

But Minos also used the Infinite Dream to try to further erode the mental structures of these two, which were already not in the best condition due to the previous attack.

Both of them were mentally wounded and hadn't collapsed yet because the people of their race had mental resistance abilities beyond normal.

Like Gorgons, they used their mental strength to draw their enemies' eyes to their own. This was their main weapon.

It was the only reason why these two had withstood Minos' powerful attack!

However, even though they could still see their enemies and direct their attacks at them, the two of them were severely weakened, with more than 70% of their mental strength lost and worsening.

"Damn it! You'll pay for this! Even if we can't kill one of you, our tribe will hunt you down to the end!" The stronger of the two shouted as she opened her mouth and released a poisonous gas into the air.

"Tsk!" Minos covered his nose as his two moving allies did the same.

This was no ordinary poison. As Gorgons were able to use some of the common powers of snakes, these creatures could use a variety of poisons.

The one used wasn't particularly deadly, but it contained a distinctive signal that only the people of this tribe could sense.

It was a biological tracer, something that was extremely complicated to avoid, even if you used spiritual barriers or avoided breathing such a thing.

This substance didn't need to enter the body of its targets. Once it reached the skin, the clothes, in short, any part of their targets, would stick to them and become almost impossible to remove.

Only an advancement could eliminate such a substance!

Minos was aware of this and immediately expressed his displeasure at being caught by some of the substance, while his two stronger companions thought they had escaped by not inhaling it.

But even though they felt less bad after this attack, they both seized the moment and launched attacks in the direction of those Gorgons.

Minos didn't lose his rationality due to his anger. When he saw his allies' movement, he immediately acted to stop the two creatures, attacking them with Chaotic Gravity and the Spatial Sword simultaneously.

Swooish!

At that moment, the two Gorgons could no longer bear to move and attack and fell to Minos' techniques, being attacked by 4 blades and pinned to the ground while being attacked by the level 92 individuals.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

Both screamed in agony, but even in their final moments, they didn't show total desperation, knowing that it was only a matter of time before the people of their tribe discovered their enemies.

Meanwhile, Titus had watched the entire battle alongside Minos' women, his mouth hanging open as he watched the two level 92 end the lives of those Gorgons.

He had many things on his mind at the moment. First, he and this group would now be hunted by the tribe of Gorgons, which was very worrying. Secondly, his allies were much more special than he had thought, particularly Minos and the black-haired woman in the group.

Both of them had innate monstrous abilities, which was good considering the enemies they would soon have, but not so good considering that he had agreed to join this group.

Thinking about that and how the poison of those creatures had marked those three, Titus himself was full of worry, not knowing if this was all good or bad for him.

Would he have survived if it hadn't been for Minos' group? Or had he been found by the Gorgons due to Emperor Stuart's group?

None of that mattered now!

'To the hell! I hope this young man has good plans, or we'll all be dead long before we reach the North Sea!' He thought to himself as the last two living Gorgons took their last breaths and died near where the barbecue had been held earlier.
