The Rise of the Black Plain

This dragon didn't have the courage to approach Minos, even though he knew he was stronger than the young man.

Unlike the terrorist leader, this level 97 dragon was far more talented than that man. If he had been in Micah's place, he wouldn't have died because of the second strike of the Divine Sword!

Still, he felt great respect for Minos and a sudden desire to bow down to this human.

But his rational side denied his feelings, and he couldn't help but question Minos.

Minos said. "This is because I increased the quality of my Physique. After that, everything about me evolved, including my dragon aura and my physical strength. I also changed levels, which added another bonus to that one...

Anyway, elder, I'm still the same friend of the Dragon Tribe that I was before. I'd like to meet the elders at the head of the tribe. Is that possible?"

The giant dragon thought about what Minos had told him and believed the young man's words because nothing else could explain such a change. But still, he had questions. What else but Divine Medicine could provide so much energy and laws to change someone like that?

'Minos consumed a Divine Medicine... It's a huge waste, but I can't deny that he has reached an extremely ridiculous level. But what gave him the confidence to risk it like that? Desperation or the possession of other medicines of this quality?' The level 97 dragon wondered. 'I will discuss this with the rest of the elders. Either way, I have to take you to the tribe's core.'

He said. "Very well, come with me. I'll take you to the currently available elders."

"Thank you."

"The tribal chief is not here today. He's in the territory of the Sky Whales. The leader of this tribe reached level 100 this morning."

Minos' eyes widened when he heard such a thing. "So that guy finally advanced?"

"Hmm, you should be careful. Even if Aurae is on your side, he'll go all the way to your state. Considering the importance of the Black Plain Empire, he'll use his new status to improve his tribe's position." This level 97 Demigod told Minos something the greatest powers of the Spiritual World were still learning.

Considering that Sky Whale was the strongest in the Spiritual World before his breakthrough to level 100, he likely would act in a dominant manner now!

"Who else is in the core of the Sky Whale's territory?" Minos asked.

"The three Gods, Maximillian, Vico, and Aurae, but also the leaders of all the 10th-stage tribes of the Continent of Beasts. I don't know about the leaders of the organizations in the Divine Continent and the Central Continent. Still, it's almost certain that some are also in the Sky Whale's territory right now."

It was already expected that such a guy would evolve at any moment, and given his personality, everyone wants a chance to talk to him before he leaves his territory.

Such a Sky Whale had gone into seclusion before the information about the aliens spread throughout the Spiritual World. Therefore, he didn't know anything about such disturbing facts and had to be stopped before he made big mistakes like going to the Dragon Tribe and ending the previous war.

Minos understood the situation from the Demigod's words and sighing; this would certainly cause him some trouble, but it would also be one less worry for the future.

Even with the worldwide expectation that everyone who tried to advance with Divine Medicine today would succeed in their attempts, there was no way anyone could guarantee it. Everyone still had a certain amount of fear of failure, and only after the last part of the evolution to Divine Medicine could one feel confident.

"That's not a problem." He said to the dragon in front of him. "My state has no problem sharing what we have. As long as our contacts have the right qualities, we're willing to do any kind of business."

The dragon looked at Minos and understood what the human really meant. 

'I'll do any deal to keep my state as long as I'm weak.'

But as funny as that was, it was the reality of 100% of experts. At some point in their lives, every expert would have to bow down and accept the terms of the strongest!

Amid their discussion, they arrived at the core of the Dragon Tribe, where three elders, two level 98 and one level 99, stood by.

Minos already knew one of the three, and as soon as he saw him, he greeted him with a smile and positive comments.

He heard positive things from this individual, while everyone was somewhat impressed by his current aura.

The level 97 dragon who had brought Minos to this place quickly informed his superiors that the young human had most likely consumed Divine Medicine, which made the three of them even more interested in this ally.

"So that's what happened..." The level 99 commented as he looked at Minos with interest in making some kind of deal. 

Dragons were very honest and straightforward, so after some thought, this creature couldn't help but ask. "Minos, be honest with us. Did you take a Divine Medicine? Did you do it out of trust in others like you, or out of sheer desperation?"

Minos laughed when he saw that he couldn't get away with it.

He could fool other races, humans, and maybe even elves. But it would be impossible for him to fool dragons, especially 1oth stage dragons.

The level 97 dragon didn't understand everything about Minos' dragon aura. But the level 99 individual easily understood it, feeling as if there was a bit of the Ancestral God of dragons in the human body before him!

That was different from what he and the other level 99 dragons in his tribe had!

There was definitely Divine-grade medicine behind it, but there was also the possibility that there was more, something that this being felt needed to be discovered!

Minos said. "I really can't hide it from you. As expected from dragons. Yes, I really have another one. Would you like to trade it with me?"

Since suspicion had already arisen in the minds of these creatures, Minos had no choice. Either he tried to negotiate, or his relationship with the dragons could stop being so positive and become a problem.

What he wanted most at this point was to avoid trouble. So he chose the peaceful way.

"So you really do!" This level 99 dragon became more interested and approached Minos, looking at the young man with interest. "What do you want for it? I'm willing to give you anything you want for the medicine, Minos!" 

"There is something I want," Minos said as he pointed in a certain direction in this central area of the Dragon Tribe.
