The Rise of the Black Plain

As soon as they entered the huge, dark area, one of the beasts in Minos' group screamed in shock as he sensed the one approaching them.

"What?"

"He's still here!"

Everyone in Minos' group looked forward, adjusting their eyes to better see the dark area.

As they did so, they saw the area where there were various dragon skeletons and special tombs inside this cave, and a tall and very muscular blue-haired man approached them.

'Damn it! That sky whale!' Forrest looked in the direction of this being and circled his energies, afraid of having to face this creature.

But when he saw who had just entered the area, the sky whale suddenly slowed down and made a strange expression.

'Wasn't a dragon?' He wondered. 'Just now, I felt something dangerous approaching me... I thought that damned thing had come back.'

But even though he felt a dragon aura, the visual information in front of him contradicted his instincts.

No matter how much he believed in his instincts, in front of a group of humans and beasts, he couldn't help but doubt what he had just sensed.

'Was I wrong? I seem to be a bit affected by the last few weeks' events.' He thought as he finally stopped 30 meters in front of Minos' group.

"Hmm, I've seen you somewhere before." He commented.

As strong as they were, sky whales weren't that difficult to deal with.

Facing these people who probably thought he would attack them, this level 90 couldn't help but talk, trying to dissuade them from that thought.

How humiliating would it be for him to be accused of trying to attack a group of weak people? He didn't want these people to think he would attack them without provocation!

Hearing this, Minos immediately realized that this beast did not want any trouble with his group and stepped forward, making a gesture of greeting. "You must have sensed us near the lake. We were nearby when you made your advancement."

"Oh?" The blue being remembered and looked at Minos curiously, noticing something strange about this level 83 Sage.

But this person seemed friendly and was of such a lower level than him that such a whale did not feel comfortable pushing this strange young man.

How crazy wouldn't the Spiritual World be if someone with potential was persecuted for no reason? Being talented could definitely cause trouble, but few would hunt down such people without ever having had trouble with such a being.

The whale then relaxed and commented with a smile. "Anyway, you were lucky to come to this place. It seems that the dragons have been hiding their true treasure very well for countless generations.

After I defeated two bastards, one of them ran away. But while I was devouring the second one, I noticed this place and decided to see what they were doing here... Who would have guessed that there are still bodies of ancient dragons here? Some of them are even useful for high-level experts."

Hearing this, the people in Minos' group felt uncomfortable for different reasons.

Isabella couldn't help but feel scared when she thought this creature was telling them he had devoured a dragon!

'Damn it! That dragon was a level 90 one!' She thought to herself, remembering the feeling when she first arrived in this space.

Meanwhile, the phoenix had another thought in mind. 'So there are still dragon bodies here?'

A single dragon body could feed several high-ranking elders of his tribe!

Even those two nine-tailed foxes could greatly benefit from a 10th-stage dragon body even if they could no longer increase their cultivation. They could improve the quality of their skills and bodies and raise their strength to the peak of level 89.

Such a body would be precious to any beast!

Minos heard this and said. "Is that so? It's really amazing that they kept this place a secret. But with the noble member of the Sky Whale Tribe here, I don't think there's much for us."

Upon hearing this, the level 90 beast was pleased to see that Minos respected him and would not challenge what was his.

Feeling magnanimous for having devoured a dragon in the past few days, he laughed and said. "Don't be so pessimistic, human. I already took what I wanted. You can enjoy what you find here.

Now I'm leaving. Time to go." He moved, walking toward their group, toward the exit of this place.

Some of Minos' group were afraid to see him pass so close to them, but Minos, the phoenix, and Forrest just watched him.

"Now I'm afraid I'm going to have some trouble out there, haha." The blue being said, but he didn't look sorry at all. "You must prepare yourself for a difficult future. Be careful when you leave this Spatial Kingdom, humans, and beasts. The dragons will surely be angry."

With these words, he disappeared and quickly left the area, heading for the portal that led back to the Flaming Empire.

Still standing at the entrance of that place, everyone in Minos' group still had the whale's words in their minds and felt the tone with which he had announced such a thing to them.

The whale did not seem worried at all. But at the same time, his words announced a catastrophe, which was why those left behind felt so strange.

'He ate a dragon... That's terrible!' The Phoenix clenched his fists and realized what had happened in this area was much worse than he had thought.

If killing a dragon was bad, eating one was 100 times worse!

Even Minos was worried, noticing the amount of trouble brewing as the catastrophe Henricus Longus had predicted came closer and closer to hitting the Spiritual World.

'What a piece of shit! A high-level war in the Central Continent, now a problem between the strongest beast tribes... It seems like everything is heading toward a perfect storm against us! What's next?' Minos wondered as he felt the pressure on his shoulders grows.

But knowing that there was nothing he could do but continue with his plans, Minos sighed and said to his group. "Forget what he said. Let's look for possibilities here. Maybe he and the dragons didn't take everything in this place."

With that, everyone turned their attention to this area and soon began exploring the ancient dragons' resting place.
