The Rise of the Black Plain

After the characteristic sound of a breakthrough came from one of those two men, everyone who was watching the area looked in the direction of the person who had advanced to level 90!

Sensing the spiritual fluctuation of this faction ally, Forrest smiled while clenching his fists. This was a new Spiritual Demigod for his group in the Spatial Kingdom, but also for his faction when they left this space.

Minos was also pleased with this successful breakthrough. With every advance they made, the dangers of this space would become less and less for them.

There were many dangers native to this flawed Spatial Kingdom that could endanger their entire group. As they became stronger there, these dangers would naturally decrease.

Also, any group that entered the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom was a potential danger to everyone else.

If they were not strong enough when encountering troublesome enemies, they might end up very badly during the months they had to stay there!

The hybrid from Minos' group saw the progress of that Church member and sighed, wondering when it would be his turn to experience the same thing as that human.

But soon, the other cultivator managed to improve the quality of his Physique, and everyone there felt the dense spiritual energy of the Saint medicine leaving his body.

The weakest of the group who were not guarding the area, such as Isabella, Abby, Ruth, and Harold, took advantage of this and immediately focused their attention on absorbing the essence of this medicine leaking from the body of the level 89 Sage.

Unfortunately, it was not yet time for him to advance to the 10th stage.

Even so, he was in a good mood because he could feel that his abilities developed significantly.

He had an innate ability that was useful in battle. Thus, even though he hadn't greatly improved his soul's spiritual wealth by increasing his Physique ranking, this man had still become much stronger than before with this period of meditation.

When he opened his eyes a few moments after the new Demigod of the group, he smiled and soon heard the congratulations of everyone there.

After a minute of general happiness and relaxation, Forrest said, "All right, we've come a long way, but we still have many things to do here."

Everyone agreed, and soon after Forrest's words, they began to make their way back through this area in search of more resources, but always keeping an eye out for possible competition, especially the wooden dragon.

...

Meanwhile, in another space pocket of the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom...

In a place even larger than the area where Minos and his group were, a group of 3 low-level Demigods was standing in an area surrounded by dead creatures.

Some of these corpses seemed to have been there for a long time, but others had met their end only a few hours ago.

Near the bonfire, two men were barbecuing parts of the previously killed enemies. At the same time, the third sat facing the bonfire flames, watching them intently.

"Jay, be careful, man! Don't do shit like before! You almost died at the hands of that level 92 worm!" One of the two men next to the fire said this to the person in front of him.

"Tsk! That was a mistake. It won't happen again." Jay said, feeling embarrassed and not wanting to talk about it.

But the man in front of him was not happy about it. "We still have to deal with the people from the damned Spiritual Church and Maximilian's emissaries. You can't die before we eliminate those bastards!"

This was the group sent by Vico, there to take advantage of the opportunity this space offered but also to eliminate people from Maximillian's group.

"Let's not forget Minos Stuart. His Majesty said he would be here with us." The man staring into the flames in front of him casually commented to his group.

Vico had been obvious in his orders. The priority of this group was to strengthen themselves and collect resources, but also to eliminate Maximilian's envoys. As for Minos, they were not to look for him, but if they found him somewhere, they were to kill him without a word!

Hearing their leader's comment, the two stopped looking at each other and stared at him.

"Minos? Will he dare to come here?"

"His Majesty said yes, so keep that in mind. If we find him, we will tear his head off in the name of His Majesty!"

...

Meanwhile, in another space pocket...

Two dragons were fighting the wooden dragon from the area where they had arrived.

Although they were dragons, the protective wooden dragon of this dimension could not recognize them as young masters because it was incomplete.

These two dragons from the Continent of Beasts already knew this, and when they encountered this creature, they did their best to destroy it.

Even though the two were only level 89 Sages, and their opponent was as strong as a level 93 Demigod, they maintained an even fight with this artificial being!

Both of them were in their bestial forms, as big as or bigger than that wooden creature, and they were attacking it with their special abilities.

"Let's end this and continue with our plans!" The strongest of the dragons said this as he saw his companion standing in the air with his mouth open as blue flames spewed from his large mouth.

Meanwhile, much of his body was covered with a surface that looked like diamonds, and he attacked the wooden dragon with his own body, ignoring his colleague's flames.

Dragons, like high-level beasts, had special abilities similar to the innate abilities that came from humans' Physiques.

Of course, just as different humans had different abilities depending on their origins, the same was true for dragons, and not all of them had the same powers.

Pow!

The dragon with the diamond-covered body smashed hard into its opponent's chest, destroying a part of the wooden dragon's body.

The large and powerful artificial being didn't make a sound when it was attacked, but the blow hit it hard enough for it to temporarily lose some of its power.

Flames Prison!

The other dragon manipulated its flame ability and took advantage of the artificial being's 'carelessness' to finally trap it!

As real dragons, they were much stronger than creatures of the same level. Not only that, they knew what to do to stop this artificial being from bothering them.

Thus, after days of intense battle with this wooden dragon, they finally managed to stop it so that they could focus on their plans there!

"Very well, let's continue to remove our elders from the area!"
