The Rise of the Black Plain

While the elves and the stronger ones of their group were trying to escape from the stronger one of Minos' group, the rest of the skeletons around Abby finally got up from the ground, understanding their situation.

Unlike the level 94 skeleton that hadn't even lasted 20 seconds since it appeared and disappeared, these others could exist longer because they were weaker.

However, some were high-level Sages and level 90 and 91 Demigods, stronger than Abby could control. Without being ancient subordinates of the Goddess of Life, there was no reason for these creatures to help Abby willingly.

Sensing the enemy's movements and these skeletal beings trying to flee the area to avoid trouble, Minos finally teleported to Abby's side and spread his Dark Sea to cover the entire area with darkness.

With a level of 85 and a presence as strong as a dragon's, Minos instantly intimidated these beings, dominating their minds and getting them on his side.

"Fight!" He commanded as he stopped before Abby, using his body to defend his wife from the various individuals who tried to attack her.

Abby was still shocked by the level 94 skeleton that had mistaken her for the Goddess of Life, but being exhausted, there wasn't much she could do but trust her group.

The two nine-tailed foxes and the group hybrid, along with the other three women of Minos, stopped next to her and raised their defenses again.

Seeing this, Forrest and the other group of Demigods aimed at these daring individuals to 'turn their backs' on them.

The enemies were so determined to finish off Abby that they were willing to risk their own lives by leaving vulnerable points for these other enemies to attack.

But their priority was to kill Abby and rid the world of a future disaster!

"You bastards! You are protecting a monster! What are you going to do when she turns on you and summons an army of level 99 Demigods?" One of the elves asked, breaking into a cold sweat as he felt the various injuries all over his body.

The other elf was nearly dying from the injury Forrest had inflicted on him a moment ago. Still, he pushed himself to attack Abby along with the rest of their group.

Minos heard this and cursed these creatures in his mind, seeing how stupid they were.

'You bastards! Abby's fusion will give us a fighting chance against the damned invaders of our world!' He thought to himself as he fused his techniques and formed several black holes within the Space and Time Domain.

The people from the Church and the phoenix could understand the elf's concern. But they did not want to worry about it during the battle. Those creatures wanted to kill them! There was no reason for them to spare them now!

With this in mind, the phoenix, who hated elves as much as many other beings in the Spiritual World, set his sights on the more injured of the two elves.

Activating his unique ability, he made his flaming wings burn the creature, forcing the elf to lose his concentration and strength while his screams grew louder.

"Aaaagh!"

Forrest did the same but focused on the strongest enemies there, using his holy sword to decapitate the rest of the group.

With Minos' previous action of using Dragon's Gaze and then the level 94 skeleton killing four enemies, the enemy group had been greatly weakened.

The survivors already had multiple injuries on their bodies before they suicidally attacked Abby, so when almost all of the Demigods in Minos' group attacked them, they didn't last long.

Even if some of their attacks reached Minos, they could not overcome the defenses over his body to hit Abby.

Before Minos' cultivation even began to return to normal and Ruth was exhausted by her ability, more than half of the survivors fell dead on the outskirts of the Space and Time Avatar's domain.

The last standing was the strongest elf, but even this one could not hold out much longer and was brutally killed, surrounded by enemies!

Everyone in the group was exhausted when the last body of the enemy party fell lifeless to the ground.

Seeing this, Minos did the same as his allies and deactivated his Soul Avatar, as his cultivation had already stabilized at level 83.

Faced with the corpses of the elven group and the envoys of Vico, Minos soon proposed a division of the resources of these creatures.

This time, he and his team would not steal resources from their opponents but would share the spoils of war left by their dead enemies!

Many weeks had passed since the previous encounter with the elven team and months since those sent by Vico had entered this Spatial Kingdom.

All of them had gained more than they had lost.

Soon, the group would find out how much they had gained from this battle.

As expected from people who were there to gather opportunities for themselves and their leaders, practically all of these individuals had medium-level and high-level grade-4 resources in their possessions!

This was especially true for the Travisani family group in this Spatial Kingdom to disrupt Maximillian's group and collect items for their empire.

Unfortunately for Vico, they ran into a mighty group!

With plenty of resources in their hands, even the most injured and worried after this battle was happy with the outcome of this day's battle.

With those resources, they could leave this Spatial Kingdom and return to the Central Continent if they wanted to.

However, without fulfilling the promise they had made to the beasts of the Continent of Beasts, their group still had a goal and soon began to meditate to recover.

No one there brought up the subject of Abby's fusion, though some of the elves' words from earlier were indeed wise.

For now, Abby and her group were their allies; moreover, she was only at level 82. Before she became the threat the elves feared, she would have to face countless challenges and dangers.

Knowing how difficult it was for sages to cultivate until they became Demigods and then reached the high level of the 10th stage, everyone there put aside their worries.

And so, the next few days would pass before they left this pocket of space to once again search for Calvert and Drogo's group!
