The Rise of the Black Plain

The moment the level 94 dragon opened his big mouth, the level 96 Gorgon felt like she was standing in front of a volcano about to erupt.

She felt death closing in on her, but she kept looking at Minos. Now everything had changed. When that creature attacked her, there was no escape for her.

Even though she was a powerful level 96 Demigod, compared to a level 94 dragon, she wasn't so impressive that she could compete with him even when she was at her best. But in this situation where she was wounded and practically exhausted, there was no way she could survive the opponent's attack.

Knowing she would probably die there, she was determined to kill Emperor Stuart before falling!

"You're coming with me, you bastard!" She glared at the exhausted young man coughing blood dozens of meters away from her, already in his normal form, his Soul Avatar and supreme weapon gone.

The only reason Minos hadn't collapsed and lost consciousness was due to the blessing of the level 100 dragon, which had made his body much stronger and able to withstand the fusion of three techniques. However, he was truly exhausted and would need a few days to recover.

In this situation, he was completely vulnerable to that Gorgon!

However, the Gorgon's plans would not be completed so easily. Sensing the mood of the great level 94 dragon, the two creatures he had business with earlier looked at each other and decided to help their partner.

The two moved in front of Minos, easily crossing the space and then moving together to counter the movement of Emperor Stuart's adversary.

"Not so fast, Gorgon!"

"You're too far north to act like that. Remember, these are dragon lands!" The other said, throwing a colorful flash toward the Gorgon's attack, enough to destroy its icy gaze before it hit Minos.

Meanwhile, red flames erupted from the level 94 dragon's huge mouth, burning the level 96 Gorgon's entire body instantly, leaving her no room to scream in terror.

Exhausted and wounded, that Gorgon didn't stand a chance in front of the dragon's flames.

In the blink of an eye, she was breathing and looking at Minos, and then her body was reduced to ashes.

Meanwhile, the Gorgon's allies in the surrounding area realized the problem and broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that they would meet the same fate as their leader if they didn't flee.

"Shit!"

"Let's retreat!" The strongest ones there stopped looking at Minos' group, finally giving space to the people who were suffering to withstand their powers.

However, as they fled the area, the skeletons summoned by Abby finally moved.

"Hahaha, trying to escape?" 

"Since you came, you should stay." A large bone monkey said. "Why run away? Fight! Show what you're capable of!"

The beasts Abby summoned weren't doing it to help her group. On the contrary, some even felt the urge to attack the blue-haired woman's group.

However, after awakening and sensing the aura of a great level 94 dragon, a ruler over all inferior races, all those beings decided to stop the Gorgons from escaping.

But in doing so, they didn't attack those beings to kill them. They merely acted to prevent their escape and force them to stay there for the judgment of the angry dragon.

'What cruel creatures.' Bella thought to herself. 'They're not here to help us, but they won't make it easy for these Gorgons either. They want to see everyone's blood dripping in front of the dragon.' She looked at the giant creature staring at her.

After killing the level 96 Gorgon, the dragon saw the skeletal beings and then looked at Minos' group, first at Abby and then at Emperor Stuart.

'He can't use the supreme weapon anymore, and she won't be able to do the fusion for a while.' The dragon pondered, seeing that the two most troublesome of the Gorgon's strange group of enemies had no means of threatening him.

Then he looked at the level 94 and 95 Gorgons around and saw that some of the skeletons were slowly disappearing, but they were able to prevent those women from escaping.

"Stay here, or I'll go to your tribe myself." He said as he looked at the Gorgons, making them fearfully tremble.

The strongest of the Gorgon tribe was a level 97 elder, but even she would have problems fighting this level 94 dragon!

A visit from this individual would be highly problematic for their entire tribe!

"Your Excellency, we did not want to take action against this group near your territory. But they are dangerous outlaws who have eliminated many of our tribe members. We were only trying to eliminate vile lawbreakers from our continent." The strongest Gorgon in the remaining group said as the others looked at the still-standing skeletons. 

'Those bastards! They're already dead, but they're still giving us trouble!' One of them thought to herself, seeing that these creatures acted on their own free will, not under orders from their enemies.

That irritated them even more!

While others had similar thoughts, the dragon's two business associates returned to their humanoid forms as they stood next to Emperor Stuart, watching him.

They hadn't expected to meet someone as strange as this young man that day.

'How is this possible? I'm standing right in front of him, but I can't believe it.' One of them thought as he felt like he was standing next to a dragon, but the visual information couldn't confirm the feeling he and all others nearby would feel.

Looking into Minos' eyes, the other level 94 individual felt he was facing a prehistoric beast and should be careful with him.

'That must be the most extreme human in history! To be level 84 and still be able to make me feel like this...' The other one thought.

Meanwhile, the dragon changed its form and shrunk its body considerably to deal with those gorgons.

Without any fear, it looked into the eyes of the level 95 creature, knowing that even if such a creature were bold enough to try to turn him to stone, she wouldn't succeed.

That's how extreme dragons were!

"If your actions are for the good of the continent, that's up to me. But don't think that your words can fool me, Gorgon. Your leader attacked this person indiscriminately." He pointed at Minos. "Look around you. Several beings unrelated to this conflict have been turned to stone."

Dragons were not merciful. But they were highly defensive about their territories. Above all, they all had a certain amount of arrogance and would never allow brazen behavior in front of them without getting involved in the problem.

Since none of them were stronger than him, he had no reason to ignore them.

As he had already made his move, he wanted to punish all of these creatures in front of him!
