The Rise of the Black Plain

Jumping from the back of one of the phoenixes, Minos quickly fused his three techniques, causing a huge seal to appear in the space in front of him.

He placed one of his hands inside the seal and pulled out a special weapon. This sword had a rainbow-like glow around it. It seemed to densely condense the laws of nature, distorting the surroundings, even inside this wormhole.

When Minos held it in both hands above his body, everyone in his group and the level 96 Gorgon herself looked at him differently, seeing it for the first time.

Even the two members of the Longus family had only felt Minos' fusion of techniques before, so when they saw it in front of them, they were shocked.

"This is even stronger than what he used to destroy our elders!" A level 90 woman said with a terrible expression as she felt the pressure of that fusion affect her and her group.

Looking at the dragon's eye on the sword's pommel, even the level 96 Gorgon felt discomfort.

Even though this was a wormhole where the standard rules of the Spiritual World didn't work perfectly, as soon as he raised the weapon, the scarce spiritual energy in the surroundings flowed towards Minos' body, especially the sword.

The laws became even more unstable, causing some of Minos' allies to lose control of their avatars or humanoid forms.

The Gorgon herself felt a strange restriction in her surroundings and couldn't help but open her mouth at what that temporary level 86 human was doing.

"What's that?" She screamed as she saw him move the sword in a vertical slash towards her.

Meanwhile, several of the Demigods flying ahead stared intently at Minos' movement, having difficulty seeing the sword due to its intense glow.

Except for the level 96 Gorgon, no one could look directly at the Divine Sword. It looked like a small star for how much it shone.

However, whether they could see it or not, everyone there could feel the terror of such a fusion!

"Deal with it, elder of the Gorgon tribe!" Minos shouted, the veins in his head showing, shaking violently as his skin became extremely thin.

His cultivation was being sucked away by the fusion of three techniques at an absurd speed. Even with his energy advantages, he couldn't rely on them much while the Divine Sword was activated.

To strike this blow, Minos knew he would have to sacrifice the last six months of his cultivation!

Moving his sword downwards, he launched his attack towards the Gorgon's own attack, which was already casting a freezing ray towards him and his group with her eyes.

If he couldn't destroy it, he and his entire party risked being wiped out before they even crossed this wormhole!

The space around the blade of his sword collapsed while the spatial fabric itself opened up, momentarily revealing several layers of real space, carrying the consequences of this movement to other such tunnels on the Continent of Beasts and even to the outside world.

At that moment, Minos' movement would have repercussions throughout the Great Hyena Forest!

Even mid-level Demigods wouldn't be able to manipulate the space in that area with the instability caused by Minos' movement.

The 12-meter-long sword glowing in the hands of Minos' avatar suddenly doubled in size, ending its movement.

The Gorgon saw the glow of that weapon become everything in front of her and couldn't bear to keep her eyes open, so she closed them for a moment for fear of being blinded by it.

As the freezing ray shot out of her eyes and collided with a giant blade, the space tunnel of this wormhole shook as if it would collapse while the blade overcame the enemy attack and made its way toward the Gorgon.

If she had been weaker, that blade would have destroyed her soul when it hit her body, splitting her in two.

That Gorgon felt it clearly. Even a level 94 peak Demigod would have been in danger of being killed by such a blade in a single instant.

Luckily, she was at level 96. As she watched it come at her more slowly, the Gorgon found time to raise her defenses, creating a shield of energy around her body.

'Gods' Slayer, huh?' She kept her guard up when she saw the symbols on the blade, which emitted a strong dragon aura. 'That's an absolute terror. I don't doubt that you could do that if you were allowed to reach high levels.'

"But that won't be enough to stop me from reaching you today, human!" She shouted as she endured Minos' movement, stepping back as he and the rest of his party finally found room to finish crossing the space tunnel.

As they crossed the wormhole's end, the group saw the space around them change again as they reached a forested area near the center of the Great Hyena Forest.

However, everyone in the group immediately realized something was wrong with their surroundings, as they noticed that the spiritual energy in the area seemed strange. At the same time, several spatial rifts could be seen in the air.

It seemed as if massive explosions had just occurred at various points on the horizon, leaving tens of square kilometers of area in chaos.

Looking at the sword still glowing powerfully in the hands of the Minos Soul Avatar, the level 92 mercenary clenched his fists, seeing how terrifying his contractor could be.

'Is he even capable of this?' He asked himself as he felt the horror of the Divine Sword that had evolved since Minos had passed through the level 100 dragon inheritance.

Since he was even stronger than before, and Minos' body and soul were also much stronger than when he first used this fusion, Emperor Stuart could now make more than one move with such a supreme weapon.

Even after his move against the Gorgon, he still managed to hold the Divine Sword while keeping his guard up and looking toward the closing wormhole.

But as he expected, two seconds after he arrived at that spot, the level 96 Gorgon passed through that closing hole.

But now she wasn't as good as she had been a moment ago. She looked much more tired, pale, and sweating while her breathing was disturbed.

She had withstood Minos' strongest attack, but it had cost her!

"Very good, human! But how much more can you take? My group will be here in a few seconds. Will you be able to use this blow against all of us?" She asked as she shouted in Minos' direction, preparing to exhaust this opponent before her allies arrived.

With no choice, Minos prepared to defend his party against that Gorgon and once again show the world the power of a glorious supreme weapon!
