The Rise of the Black Plain

Just as Minos' group was ready to go ahead with their last fight in that underground building, he raised his own cultivation and that of five aliens.

By strengthening two of his guildmates and three of his group's allies, Minos advanced alongside those five individuals into the large area at the deepest point of that building.

Upon entering what looked like a huge crypt, the group was immediately attacked by the brown creature there.

The creature there formed several snake-like body parts. It used them to attack the vital organs of the six individuals who had first invaded its home.

But simultaneously with its merciless attack, the three individuals with special artifacts used their belongings, making the special powers of those devices show their differences in battle.

Even though they were only Grandmasters and that one was a mid-level Sovereign, the three aliens immediately managed to counterbalance their opponent's powers.

The first of them used what looked like a staff, throwing a beam of golden light at the brown creature. Immediately, it dodged for fear of having its body burned by it.

The second of them used what looked like a 60-centimeter-long chain, manipulating it while a giant stream of energy appeared around the creature's body.

Simultaneously with the actions of these two trying to hurt the creature, the third, armed with special artifacts, used the power of his device to counter the creature's attacks.

The ability of that item was to mimic the power being counterattacked. Then after that individual began infusing his energies into his device, an energy being with a body similar to that of the creature in that place appeared near that alien, before attacking against the enemy's snake-like body parts.

Minos and the two remaining individuals, the strongest in combat power in the group, excluding the existence of those special artifacts, moved using their natural powers and techniques.

Minos tried to help his companions by protecting them while using Chaotic Gravity and Infinite Dream to help the others immobilize that level 105 being.

But the difference in cultivation between him and that creature was immense!

His techniques had practically no effect when used in the normal way!

'Shit!' Minos thought to himself as he felt the creature's aura push him in the opposite direction. 'If I don't use more of my strength, we won't be able to deal with this threat without losses!'

That was only the beginning of his group's journey on The Obsidian Shore. Their target was far away, so if he took losses there, his chances of eventually succeeding in his mission would diminish.

With this in mind, Minos was forced to go one step further and show off his powers.

He looked at the creature, and his eyes glowed a golden hue. A cry and the aura of a dragon emerged from his body.

But this was no ordinary dragon, but something similar to the Ancestral God of Dragons, a creature that, like Fah'um of Dunov, had gone much further than level 100!

Dragon's Gaze!

Minos used the evolution of this skill, causing a huge golden energy dragon to emerge from his eyes. The dragon took shape while already flying towards the group's enemy.

But Minos knew that this alone wouldn't be enough. He was a stage below that level 105 Sovereign. If he didn't use more, that being wouldn't be vulnerable to his allies being able to threaten that creature's life.

Without overthinking about what to do, Minos fused three of his techniques, bringing the Divine Sword back to life!

When he finished fusing this technique and pulled the Gods' Slayer from the seal floating in space in front of him, Minos started dancing with his weapon, attacking the brown creature with the most advanced move of this supreme weapon.

His allies noticed these two new attacks from Minos, something he hadn't used since they had started traveling together.

They were, for a moment, surprised that these allies still had cards up their sleeves, even though they were already very impressive practically all the time. But amid a fight against an extremely dangerous opponent, they would soon turn their focus in the direction they should, focused on attacking and killing the level 105 creature.

The individual with a staff saw his chance to hit that opponent with his bright beam of light, while the man with a bluish chain made a pained expression as he tried to hold his opponent back.

The area's walls shook with the attacks and counterattacks of those involved while the remaining individuals in the group tried to help their companions with their strength and support techniques.

Ruth used her innate ability to the best of her proficiency, connecting with Minos and the other five to help them recover while they fought.

Pow!

One of the men was hit by one of the brown creature's attacks and thrown against one of the crypt's walls.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on that wall, while the entire floor of the area where the group was fighting broke as the fight evolved with each passing moment.

Meanwhile, the creature was emitting sounds of agony as it came under attack from the beams of light from the weapon of one of those six opponents attacking it.

They could only attack uncontrollably at everything and everyone in their surroundings while being pressed and attacked by Minos and those three individuals with artifacts.

"Aaaaaagh!"

Sounds of screams arose among that group attacking the level 105 Sovereign, with the two individuals allied to Minos and without powerful artifacts with them suffering from that opponent's attacks.

But when Minos reached the last attack of the Divine Sword's most advanced move, all his moves so far came together against the level 105 creature.

An attack so strong that it could kill a level 103 Sovereign and seriously injure a level 104 one formed, cutting through that creature's body.

The individual using an artifact that 'mirrored' his opponent's attack felt his artifact emit cracking sounds as he joined his companions in wounding the enemy even more.

He regretted what he had heard but didn't stop, moving on, as it was more important to beat that level 105 creature than to preserve that equipment.

He could only lament as he lost the bracelet-shaped artifact on one of his wrists.

Fortunately, this would be a victory for his group!

After 10 minutes of intense combat against a level 105 Sovereign, the group ended this battle by killing that creature!
