The Rise of the Black Plain



Chaotic Gravity!

Clenching his hands while manipulating his 7th technique, Minos pressed down on everything around him as his cultivation rose to level 85 with Forrest's help.

Forrest was much stronger than Minos, but his abilities were quite different from his.

Knowing the capability of Chaotic Gravity, he gave a small part of his cultivation to his ally and paid attention to the area as the sounds of creatures in pain increased.

Within moments, several of them died under the great pressure of the peak of level 90, and both Minos and Forrest could see where some of them were from the explosion of their small bodies.

But they were even smaller than flies. As their bodies were crushed by Minos, some of them could only mark a few square centimeters at most, just enough for these two to notice their position before they died.

Their bodies were so small that after they exploded, it was impossible to tell what was blood and what was body parts. Everything was so small that they seemed to be made of one essence.

But not all of them had the same end!

Minos felt that some of these creatures withstood the pressure on their bodies well and frowned.

"They are very resilient!" Minos remarked in surprise, as he had never seen anything like this before, not even in the vast memories of Henricus Longus.

From what he could sense, these little creatures could withstand the pressure of his technique very well!

Only the weakest had their bodies blown apart, but the strongest held their ground relatively well.

But that was the world. A large-bodied creature would suffer greatly from the effect of gravity on itself, while a smaller creature tended to withstand such pressure better.

Realizing the impasse of the situation and having nothing in mind to solve their problem, Forrest suggested. "Keep them in their positions. Even if you can't kill them, I think you can keep them still, right?"

"Yes, I believe so," Minos said, his hands shaking from the force he was using.

"Very well, I will collect the items on these bodies while you hold them. We will leave the area after that." Forrest said, already moving towards the various items and rings scattered around the area.

"Won't they come after us?" Ruth asked, looking at Minos.

"We can set up a barrier at the entrance to this chamber when we leave." He replied, but he didn't think it would be necessary.

These creatures living underground in this space pocket probably knew the dangers of moving through the area, the traps, and more of what could happen there. 

There had to be a reason why several chambers in this place had beasts, but none of the tunnels they had traveled through had any such creatures.

While the group held their position at the area entrance, watching the surroundings carefully, Forrest finished collecting all of these items, finding no difficulty.

All the creatures there seemed to be those little creatures that Minos was pushing all the way down.

With that done, Minos flew out of the area with Forrest, still holding all the space inside the chamber under his pressure.

In an instant, Forrest's men built a wall at the entrance to the area, figuring that the spatial distortion would take care of any creatures that tried to attack their people.

Gathering in the tunnel where they had already defeated all the traps, the group briefly celebrated another victory before Forrest allowed Minos to choose the rings.

Minos immediately took two rings from Forrest's hand and said, "What are we going to do with these artifacts you collected?"

"Let's divide them equally. Which of them would be most useful to your people?" Forrest asked.

Minos immediately thought of Starclaw and that item birds could wear on their fingers.

He and Forrest would spend the next 2 minutes discussing what was most important to each of them. At the end of that time, they would come to a division regarding the 13 artifacts collected from the skeletons' bodies.

"What do we do now?" Abby asked.

"We go back to the surface," Forrest declared, knowing that Minos intended to explore a bit of this space pocket before trying his luck in another unstable area of this Spatial Kingdom.

When they had arrived earlier, they had all sensed the spiritual fluctuations of mature medicines in this area, so there was certainly something there for them.

On the other hand, just like in the chamber, they had just closed, they could find more bodies of ancient experts who had entered this space and died countless years ago.

With this in mind, the group soon returned to the path they had taken earlier, not interested in further exploring this underground area.

There were several tunnels they had not entered, but it was not their goal to stay there for long. They had only entered this dark area to escape the wooden dragon.

As for what might be there, they thought it was not worth it. This was because moving in a dark and difficult-to-explore place like this was much more complicated than it was on the surface. This area had spatial distortions that one could approach without noticing, a great danger for all of them.

Not only that, both Minos and Forrest knew that the underground areas of the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom were not where the greatest riches of the beasts that created this space were!

Both moved without hesitation toward the surface as the two checked what they had gained from the collected spatial rings.

A few thousand high-grade crystals... Millions of medium-level crystals... Several high-level grade-3 items... Wow! A medium-level grade-4 female armor!' Minos explored what was in one of those storages, hoping to find something useful for one of his wives in the future.

Unfortunately, they couldn't use something of this level until they reached level 90. Until then, he would have to keep it for her.

In the first ring he scanned, there were also some King-grade medicine and low-level grade-4 pills.

However, when he examined the contents of the second one, Minos opened his eyes wider and found not only copies of three Golden-grade techniques, something that was not in the other one, but also two Saint-grade medicines!

Medicines of this quality did not perish as long as they were stored within spatial rings, as these items did not allow living beings to enter their storage space, and all the spiritual energy of the items within them was contained within these spaces.

Anyway, there were other exciting resources for his army in this second ring, and Minos soon decided how to use these new resources and items!
