The Rise of the Black Plain

When Minos and Emlyn met women from the Flowers Kingdom in a forest near the Flaming Empire border, they did not want to fight. The beautiful beast in her humanoid form took the lead.

"Flower Warrior, we are sent by the Black Plain Empire. My companion and I have requested passage through your state. We are on our way to the Marine Empire, so we need to pass through your state." Emlyn said, making the tall and muscular level 86 woman in front of them look into her eyes.

"Emissaries from the Black Plain Empire?" The woman narrowed her eyes, not liking this at all. This man looked extremely interesting. It would be a great pity if the queen allowed him to move around freely in this state.

"Don't joke about it. We received no warning that the Black Plain Empire envoys would pass through our state. We are very close to the Stuart family. Do you really think such an excuse will fool me?" She said, laughing at them.

"If you can pass me, pass me with your strength. Lies like that won't ease your way to the coast."

Minos saw that dialog would not solve anything for him and Emlyn and closed his eyes and began to show the woman his terrible aura.

But since he did not want to kill that woman, Minos did not use Dragon's Gaze. He just activated one of his techniques, and when he opened his eyes, he fired a powerful mental attack at the woman who was already jumping toward him and Emlyn, attacking her with his fists.

Infinite Dream!

A colorful beam came out of Minos' eyes and hit the woman in a single instant.

After being hit, she immediately found herself in a different place while her body in the real world fell freely, already completely unconscious.

Boom!

Seeing the woman fall face first to the ground, Minos made a funny face and commented to Emlyn. "Ah, that's going to hurt when she wakes up."

Emlyn sighed. "Well, she chose this path... But what do we do now? Others like her will come our way."

Even though they were Sages, these two would still have to fly at high speed for at least an hour to cross the entire Flowers Kingdom.

In doing so, they would surely attract the attention of experts like the now fallen woman, women who would surely try to challenge Minos.

Minos sighed and said. "There is not much we can do. The Flowers Kingdom is too close to the battlefield, so it would be dangerous for me to show myself to these people.

Let's continue on our way. After we beat up a few women, they will leave us alone."

These would be the first "stones" in their path. Thinking about how much worse things would soon get, Emlyn thought that she really had nothing to do.

With that, the two soon continued their journey through the Flowers Kingdom, moving quickly through this flowery state.

Unlike when Minos had come to this place, he was much faster now, reaching places in a matter of minutes that had taken him days before.

At the same time, as much as there were women in this state who were interested in challenging men like him, their situation was different now than it had been years ago. Back then, Minos had been watched from the moment he entered the kingdom, and thousands of women had heard about him.

This time, however, he was acting outside the expectations of the people of this state. By moving quickly and without stopping to make himself the target of 'hunters,' few had noticed his and Emlyn's movement.

Also, as strong as it was, the Flowers Kingdom was a state with few high-level Sages who could cause trouble for these two travelers. At the same time, most of those experts were in cities that Minos and Emlyn could not even get close to.

Thus, when they crossed this state to the coast, they would only encounter 4 more women like the one before, women between levels 85 and 88.

After defeating them all, they finally reached the coast and saw the calmest sea in the entire Spiritual World!

The day was sunny, and the sands of this beach stretched for tens of kilometers to the east and west but reached as far as 1 kilometer into the Flowers Kingdom.

Feeling the warmth of this morning and the pleasant breeze of the area, Minos almost felt like taking a swim and relaxing. But with more pressing goals in mind, he looked around and soon found a town where he and Emlyn could get a boat to Marine Empire.

Unlike his first time in this kingdom, Minos now had a very detailed map of the area and knew what to look for, where, and when.

With a lot of information in his head, he led his companion, and soon, they were in a city of about 500 thousand inhabitants, one of the few in the Flowers Kingdom where men and women lived together.

This was the place where the children of the Flower Warriors lived, where men could move freely without running the risk of being stopped by women interested in their genes.

Arriving in this place, Minos and Emlyn had no trouble moving around and soon went to a large local harbor where large ships could be seen from afar.

Not only were there cargo ships but many passenger ships as well.

In high-level Spiritual World states, especially those with access to the sea, there were always ports where large organizations offered transportation services to other states or continents.

Some companies would transport people between states on this continent, which was a much safer way to travel than traveling in groups through the forests. So, such services were very popular in the higher-ranking states, and even trips within the same continent were often made by boat.

But there were also companies that took people to other continents, islands, etc.

This kind of service was not so common, and only a few ports in the central continent had companies that made such long journeys. But that was no problem for Minos and Emlyn.

From this city in the Flowers Kingdom, they could travel to another port with connections to the Marine Empire!

So, without encountering any problems on their way through this city, the two soon arrived at the port, from which ships departed daily for the Evergreen Empire and Lusmait.

From Lusmait, there was a connection to the Marine Empire, so Minos and Emlyn soon went to the port's counter to buy their tickets to that kingdom in the Western Region!
