The Rise of the Black Plain

"Ahhh!"

Gul cried out in despair as he saw the big fox devouring one of his legs. This was a shocking thing to see and feel.

Imagine witnessing a beast devouring you little by little...

At the same time that he felt enormous physical pain, Gul also had a latent feeling of fear, knowing that this spiritual beast would completely devour him.

It was a disturbing situation. A few days ago, Gul was excited about what this fox and her cub could do for him. But now... That was the end of the line for him.

And with the physical pain and the fear of imminent death, Gul quickly began to lose his mind, screaming wildly and even laughing. 'Wow... It looks like he went crazy...' Minos thought, seeing the scene.

At the same time, all the soldiers who accompanied Minos on this trip were feeling bad about what happened. Seeing a person being gradually devoured by a spiritual beast was not easy to endure.

Some of them started to vomit on the spot, while others were terrified of Emlyn. 'If she decides to accompany the young master, how can we relax?' Many soldiers thought while they had expressions of discomfort on their faces.

Ruth then asked Minos. "Don't you care that she's doing this?" She sighed and ended up saying. "Even though he is an enemy, I think it is very wrong to let a spiritual beast devour a human."

"Eh, I don't care. He's getting what he deserves. It doesn't make any difference if he's a human and she's a spiritual beast." Minos said without any change in his expression.

With all the knowledge that Minos had, his personality could not be merciful. He knew that there were far worse destinations than being eaten by a beast.

That was very smooth compared to the massacre of entire clans and tribes.

In the Continent of the Beast, even within some tribes, the practice of cannibalism after battles between members of the same race was not uncommon. Thus, devouring human enemies was nothing more than a small action for these spiritual beasts.

Hearing what Minos had said, Ruth stopped talking and started to think about it. This was a cruel world, where beasts were turned into human food every day, so why would it be weird if a beast did that to humans?

And it didn't take long, and Emlyn entirely devoured the former bandit chief. After that, she turned and looked at Minos and then returned to the room, where she and her daughter were staying to wait for him.

Minos had already told her to wait for him in that room if she wanted to see what he had to show her. Minos would not take her to the Spatial Kingdom from an open place full of people, like this courtyard.

After the big five-tailed fox left the courtyard, the soldiers finally blew out a sigh of relief.

It would be a lot less stressful for them if she weren't around.

"Ehh, alright guys, that's all. Make the last preparations as soon as possible to leave the Yellow City." Minos said after letting out a sigh of relief. He had finally sorted everything out on this trip.

"Okay, I almost forgot. Let the people of the Yellow City know that we are leaving today." He said before getting up and leaving where he was.

After that, he walked alone to the mansion's first floor, where Emlyn and Kyla stayed.

That was a large room, almost empty and with a large carpet on the floor. Dillian had chosen this location to leave the fox pair, as there were no other places in this mansion available to them.

Upon Minos entering the room, Emlyn was lovingly licking Kyla's hair while the little fox turned her belly towards her mother. The young sovereign then said with a smile on his face. "I'm glad you decided to accept my offer. Now I'm going to take you and Kyla to a different place."

"A different place?" The mother fox questioned.

"Hmm, I need to touch the two of you for this." He then said as he bent down and picked up the little fox playing with her mother.

"Au! Au!"

After that, Minos placed another hand on Emlyn's neck and then activated his unique ring, which allowed him to enter and leave the Spatial Kingdom.

Upon noticing Minos' action, Emlyn found it very strange but said nothing. However, repeatedly the surrounding space quickly changed, from an empty and ample room to a highly lush forest.

"What?" She exclaimed aloud as she noticed the sudden change of scenery. 'Huh, this... He brought me to a completely different place...' She stopped thinking about it when she felt her surroundings.

That was a vibrant place in free spiritual energy in nature, with many plants, herbs, roots, all with a high-level spirituality. It was as if she had entered a treasure of the highest order!

"How is this possible? Even the dragon tribe does not have such a place!" She exclaimed aloud as she ran from side to side.

With the well-developed senses of a spiritual beast, she could feel how valuable this place was. But not only the spiritual medicines, the soil itself, the water, and even the air, were all the best possible quality. And the most impressive thing was not that, but the amount of each of the resources.

"One, two... Twenty-nine... eighty-two... Gods, how can there be so many Saint-grade medicines in one place? And it is all the same type!"

After sniffing and identifying many plants within the Spatial Kingdom, Emlyn finally returned to Minos with a look of admiration on her face. 'It was not for less! With such a place, he could even feed a dragon up to level 100!'

She then approached Minos and asked curiously. "Is this a Spatial Kingdom? Why doesn't he have any other humans or spiritual beasts here? I only managed to probe two humans besides you."

Like humans, spiritual beasts that reach level 100 could also create Spatial Kingdoms. And like a beast of a high-level race, Emlyn knew a little about these cultivation sanctuaries. Even though her tribe had none, they knew about the Spatial Kingdoms of other races, such as dragons.

But as far as she knew, these sites were used as headquarters, or general headquarters, where the most important members of these forces lived. These places were the best for individuals to cultivate, spiritual medicines to grow, and practically impenetrable for external enemies!

So, it would be a significant waste to create such a place and not use it.

"Ehh, for some reason, this place was not designed to receive a large number of people. Instead, this Spatial Kingdom was made to receive a lot of spiritual medicines, as you can see."

After saying this, Minos went to the house that was near the lake while holding the little fox, Kyla and Emlyn following them.

Minos pulled out a chair upon reaching that place and sat outside the house while looking out over the lake. He then said. "Well, now you've seen that I can help you both grow to your maximum potential, let's talk about business."

"What I want you to do is two things. First, you must strengthen yourself in this place, but don't eat high-level medicines without talking to me first. Second, I want you to run this place when I'm not here. As you can see..." Minos pointed to the two youths, who were training not far from the house.

He then continued. "I don't plan to turn this place into a city, as many of the powers of the Spiritual World do with their Spatial Kingdoms, but I still plan to bring some of my soldiers here."

"For now, it's just those two, but in the future, there will be more."

"And that must be your main job, at least until you reach level 70. Then, if I need your help out there, I will also have to rely on your strength." He said sincerely.

Upon hearing her duties from Minos, Emlyn thought this was too easy for her. Living in a place like this was the dream of any spiritual beast, so Minos did not need to ask for it. She was thinking of begging for it!

"Since I will be part of your force, does that mean that you will also help me when I need it?" The fox asked in an earnest tone.

"Hmm, that's right."

"Well, then you need to know why I came to give birth to my daughter in the north of the Central Continent." She started to speak in a sad voice.

"About six months ago, my husband and I were kidnapped while traveling to the Divine Continent. After leaving the west of the Continent of the Beast, where our clan is located, we were intercepted by a pirate ship from one of the powers of the Central Continent."

"At that time, after we were kidnapped, due to a great storm that happened in that region where we were, the pirate ship was thrown towards the north of the Central Continent, in the Kingdom of the End..."
