The Rise of the Black Plain



When the sound of a bird was heard nearby, the eight Gorgons attacked Minos' group with all their might, shooting bolts of power from their eyes, while his group kept their defenses up with all their might.

Their defenses turned to stone as the breaths of each person there became agitated as they saw the forces capable of killing them coming closer and closer to them.

But when that bird sound came, everyone in the vicinity, whether it was Minos' group or the Gorgons, felt goosebumps rise on their bodies as the heat around them suddenly increased.

Even a phoenix flying tens of kilometers away felt the same as the people fighting in the middle of the forest.

'What is it?' This elder of the Phoenix Tribe, who was sent to observe the situation, asked himself as he felt his flaming feathers tremble.

As he gazed curiously at the spot where a battle was clearly taking place, a bird's claw appeared from one of the cracks in the ground near where Abby's group was standing.

When that claw appeared there, the strongest of the Gorgons couldn't continue attacking Minos' group because she felt a terrifying sensation coming from her back.

'It can't be!' She opened her eyes wide, doing the same as several members of Minos' group did at that moment, seeing the madness of Abby's fusion of techniques.

"That..."

"How?"

"Impossible!" The Arctic Whale sensed an extremely restrictive power for him, the only thing capable of overcoming the arctic ice of his tribe.

As he focused on the creature that emerged from the underground, the Arctic Whale saw a gigantic skeleton fly into the sky while orange-black flames covered that skeleton's body.

When they heard the cry of the phoenix being called back to the world of the living, they and everyone else around them couldn't help but look at it for a moment. 

That was a level 95 Phoenix!

Abby's technique fusion had summoned a creature of the highest level. This was no ordinary creature, but a creature from one of the ten strongest races in the world!

After seeing this elder hovering in the air, everyone was shocked by its power, and not only that, but the ability of a Spiritual Sage to summon this black terror.

But this wasn't the only awakened elder. As he drew the full attention of Abby's allies and enemies, a dozen dark phoenixes emerged from the cracks in the ground and hovered in the air around the elder, their auras at their peak.

"Elder!"

"Elder!"

"We have failed with you, Elder!"

"Forgive us for our mistake!"

Several of them shouted immediately after realizing where they were and feeling the powerful aura of that level 95 creature, their former leader who had died in battle along with several of them.

The behavior of the dead when they were brought back to life could vary, depending on their personalities and how they died.

Some would mercilessly attack those who summoned them. In contrast, others would fight for the good of their summoner without even needing to be controlled. Some would like to fight again and take a few more people to the world of death.

Even though they understood that they had been temporarily brought back to life by Abby, none of them bothered to attack her. Instead, upon seeing their leader who had died for their mistake, all of the low-level Demigods and high-level Sages summoned by Abby took the opportunity to ask their leader for forgiveness, something they hadn't been able to do in the past.

While listening to these subordinates, the dark phoenix looked in the direction of the strongest in the area, a gigantic bird surrounded by orange flames rapidly approaching the area.

Seeing the level 96 phoenix sent to this place, this elder smiled to himself, seeing that his tribe still dominated this area and had powerful experts in this generation.

'It looks like we won the war.' He felt that he only had a few seconds before disappearing. Still, he was delighted to be called back to life and see that the place that had once been a battlefield was now just a green and beautiful area as it had been in his youth.

Satisfied that he hadn't died in vain, he looked at Abby, the young human who was clearly behind it all. 'You're in trouble, huh?' He smiled. "Let me kill Gorgons one last time!"

With those words, he looked toward the level 95 creature near Minos' group, glaring at him, and flew toward it, not afraid to look it in the eye.

"You wretches!" The Gorgon shouted as it saw the black phoenix coming at it quickly, its eyes glowing brightly and imitating energy beams that would turn everything in its path to stone.

The other Gorgons noticed the sudden change in the environment. They retreated immediately, realizing that not only this strongest elder but all the black flame phoenixes in the area had decided to attack them.

"Kill the Gorgons!"

"Fight alongside our leader one last time!"

The battalion leaders brought back to life by Abby shouted, flying towards the Gorgons as their flames exploded in power, burning everything in their path.

After seeing this, all of the beings in Minos' group who had not yet seen Abby's fusion in action were shocked at the amount of power she could bring to the group.

All three members of the Sea Folk stood there with their mouths agape and their eyes wide open, almost unable to believe what was happening.

"What a monstrous ability!" One of the two level-90 Demigods said as he looked at Abby, seeing that she alone could bring unimaginable chaos to this world.

Even as a low-level Sage, she alone could threaten entire groups of Demigods!

"Abomination! We must kill that human!" One of the Gorgons in the group of creatures being attacked by the dark phoenix shouted, sensing that such a human could bring about the end of their race.

Being so weak and already able to summon such powerful dead creatures, Abby was a real threat to the powers of this world!

If she could resurrect gods, she alone could rule the entire Spiritual World!

Even Minos' allies couldn't help but think of the blue-haired girl's potential and stared at her in amazement, finally understanding where Emperor Stuart's trust in his women came from.

'That's why! That's why he was so confident!' The leader of the Sea Folk group there thought to herself as she moved along with the rest of the group, dodging the Gorgon power beams that had threatened them moments ago.
