The Rise of the Black Plain

As the tension eased, Trilla looked at the level 91 Sky Whale and asked. "Senior, please help Minos' crew cross the area ahead. I only survived to alert my tribe and the seniors because they saved my life by getting in the way of that level 93 shark.

Now, they are marked by several members of this tribe, and they'll have problems if they travel alone through this area we're in."

Hearing these words, the elder knew that Minos' group had really done a lot, and it was only because of them that this information about the treachery of the Arctic Shark tribe had reached them.

Considering the fact that the strongest of this rank had recognized Minos, this Sky Whale didn't oppose the request of Minos and Trilla.

"I will see what I can do. If no elder of our tribe is available to escort this group to the territory of the Flooded Dragons, I'll take them there myself."

The Flooded Dragons could be found all along the South Sea. However, their territory bordered the Sky Whale's territory and Arctic Shark's territories to the east.

Even though it was so close to that tribe of sharks, this sea dragon territory was by no means accessible to those creatures.

Sea dragons were relatively friendly compared to their land cousins. But they were very defensive of their territory against powerful beings from unfriendly races.

In the case of the shark tribe that had fallen out with Trilla's tribe, they were no friends of the Flooded Dragons and had a long history of problems with each other.

Sharks from that tribe would definitely not enter the Flooded Dragons' territory just because of a group like Minos', so those whales knew that by leaving their crew there, they would be able to continue their journey with relative peace of mind.

At least there would be no one to hunt them down and try to kill them!

"I appreciate that, senior." Trilla thanked him before returning to the side of Minos' group, where the people were sighing after the tension of a moment ago.

"Thank you for your words, Trilla. This elder's help will be very valuable to us." Minos said as he watched her transform into her humanoid version.

The rest of the crew also looked at her favorably, and Emlyn asked. "Trilla, why don't you join us? Now that you've delivered the message to this tribe, I'm sure your people will be fine."

Trilla shook her head negatively and said. "I can't. As much as you met me when I was on the run, I have a certain position that I have to be in. Even if the tribe will be fine with the help of the elders from before, I have to go back."

"That's too bad. Your strength would be greatly appreciated in our crew." One of the mermaids said sadly.

While the group members commented on this and started to say goodbye to Trilla, one of the two Demigods from the Arctic Whale tribe said.

"Well, I was in the middle of my retreat when we were attacked. I can join you on your journey if that's not a problem." The whale, who had joined them before Trilla to escort them out of their territory, said, attracting the attention of Minos' entire group.

"Are you sure?" The other whale asked, but he could not join the group because he was worried about his family in the tribe.

"Hmm, I think our friends' journey here will be very good. And I'm free to do what I want, so I want to see how far they get." The level 91 guy said.

"What about our tribe?"

"I alone won't make a difference. With the help of the Sky Whales, everything will be fine, and what has been lost cannot be regained. If I stay behind, nothing will change." He was determined, feeling that if even the elders of the strongest tribe in the world recognized Minos, he couldn't miss this opportunity.

Hearing these words, Minos smiled and welcomed this great fellow to his crew.

It wouldn't be long before Trilla and the other Arctic Whale said their goodbyes and headed back to their tribe's territory.

Minos' group waited there for a few minutes until the elder returned with a level 93 Sky Whale that had accepted the mission to lead them to the Flooded Dragons' territory.

With that, the group left this outpost of the strongest tribe in the world, accompanied by an elder who would guarantee their safety for the next few weeks.

...

A few weeks after the incident at the South Pole of the Spiritual World, the world's greatest powers had already understood what had happened that day and what was behind the turmoil on the seas.

This was yet another consequence of the confrontation that had begun in the Flaming Empire between the two strongest tribes in the Spiritual World, who were now at war in the South Seas.

However, while those who had been affected by the rough seas, storms, and tsunamis of the past few weeks understood the situation they were in, the world's mightiest had already noticed the strange actions of the most powerful sea beasts.

The powers of all the continents and islands of this world were already aware of the movement of high-level sea beasts from the dark part of the sea to their tribes and territories, indicating that trouble was approaching worldwide.

With this information, the elves had already sent invitations to the powers with level 99 experts to meet on the Divided Continent in less than five years. At that meeting, they would discuss what they needed to do to intervene in the catastrophe that was approaching the world.

Meanwhile, the war on the Central Continent had finally begun to cool down a bit, with both sides in the conflict calling back their main combatants.

Vico and Maximillian were worried about being weakened amid a catastrophe like the Age of Lightning, and both had already gone into seclusion.

In Maximillian's case, he had finally entered the Seraphim Spatial Kingdom, where Duncan Evergreen was absorbing the power of Divine-grade medicine!

It was time for him to finally put into action his plan to strengthen himself and dominate the Central Continent!

Meanwhile, Minos and his crew, traveling in the dark about most of these facts, arrived in the territory of the Flooded Dragons, from where they could continue their journey to the Continent of Beasts alone.
