The Rise of the Black Plain



A wood dragon was a creation of dragons, an artificial creature that could take the form of a dragon but also a humanoid giant with one eye.

It was like a servant of the dragons and the most powerful families of this race, who would take care of the maintenance of Spatial Kingdoms but also deal with intruders.

These creatures were not living beings, so they had no life expectancy. Last but not least, this creature was there to make things difficult for Minos' group!

Forrest frowned at the sight of this piece of the wooden dragon of this Spatial Kingdom.

Wooden dragons were practically as strong as level 99 human Demigods. However, this was only a piece of this Spatial Kingdom's wooden dragon. Therefore, it was "small," and the power it emitted was similar to that of a level 92 dragon.

However, dragons were much stronger than ordinary humans, so this thing that emitted such a strong spiritual fluctuation was worrying.

"It looks like we're out of luck." He remarked to his group while everyone was already taking up fighting positions and circulating their energies.

"How will we face it?" Harold asked while the Minos group hybrid was already in his bestial form, the same as his ancestors, Griffin!

Minos made a complicated face and said, "Ideally, we wouldn't face him, but I think he's already interested in us." He looked at Abby and said, "Use your fusion. Let's see what we can do with it."

"Oh? OK."

When the people in Forrest's group heard that, they looked at Abby strangely, not knowing what was happening.

As far as they knew, the women of Minos had fighting skills far inferior to his. On the other hand, none of them had ever demonstrated a fusion in public.

Abby was even known to combine her techniques very well, but these were not fusions like what Minos did.

Forrest looked at Minos and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"Just watch. Maybe Abby can create a distraction so this creature forgets about us." Minos said, smiling.

The wood dragon was a creature with protective instincts that would act first to defend the Spatial Kingdom against what it felt was the worst for that space.

If it had to face many enemies, it would have no choice but to leave the more harmless and quiet ones aside while it dealt with the others.

Abby quickly fused two of the techniques she had received from the Goddess of Life, which could bring that expert's legendary skill back to the world.

As the spiritual energy in the area condensed and Minos' group stood guard around Abby, the ground in several parts of the forest suddenly began to crack.

One of the level 89 Sages in the group looked at one of the cracks that appeared near them and frowned when he saw a hand emerge from the crack.

Then, several human and non-human skeletal creatures began to emerge from the area, including a gigantic dragon skeleton!

"What? What is that?" The level 92 Demigod in Forrest's group cried out in shock as he saw 40 skeletal creatures emerge from the ground after the fusion of Abby's techniques was completed.

Forrest was also startled, not understanding where this was coming from.

This technique looked nothing like the information his group had on Abby!

Meanwhile, Minos smiled, pleased to see his wife finally able to merge the two techniques left by the Goddess of Life.

The skeletons shook violently momentarily, and then voices emerged from their skeletal bodies.

"Hmm? Where am I? I thought I was dead."

"And you did die, you good-for-nothing! I killed you!"

Two human skeletons said to each other, speaking loudly.

"You damned worm! I killed you too, apparently. It looks like you couldn't take your injuries, motherfucker!"

"Tsk!"

Meanwhile, the skeletal dragon shouted. "What? Am I back to life? Hmm, is someone controlling me?" His tone quickly turned hostile as he looked in Abby's direction.

"Human? Tsk, brat, you have a phenomenal ability to resurrect me like that, but if you think you can use me..." 

He, a former level 91 dragon, could not accept this humiliation!

But as he spoke, a dark mist suddenly appeared around the humans, affecting not only him but also all the other skeletons in the area.

"Obey!" Minos' voice reached them all, making them tremble as they felt the Dark Sea in action.

Abby's fusion resulted in a copy of the Goddess of Life's innate powers. As such, she didn't have as much control over these creatures as the ancient expert would have. But this fusion still brought back creatures from the dead with almost maximum power!

Not only that, as long as it worked, these creatures would be similar to conscious beings, with those with levels similar to Abby's under her full control, while the stronger ones would be somewhat free.

That was the only flaw in it at the moment.

But just because they were conscious, Minos could freely use his powers on these creatures and manipulate them as he pleased!

This dragon skeleton was not as strong as it was in life, and with a power similar to that of only level 90, it could not withstand the power of Minos' soul and soon fell under the control of this emperor.

"Distract the wooden dragon," Minos ordered, making the creatures stop talking and turn their attention to the wooden creature that was already watching them more than the group of living creatures there.

Immediately after his command, they all moved and acted separately to take the wooden dragon away from their masters.

Forrest frowned at this display of power and looked at Minos and Abby in shock.

This was no simple combination of powers!

Abby could use her fusion to bring back dead creatures that had over 80% of their powers in life, and she could do it even with creatures much stronger than her!

At the same time, as much as she could not control the stronger ones, she could leave them under the control of Minos, who could even manipulate beings with level 90 powers. 

This was not simple!

Gulp!

'This... This can't be! If this can be widely used, when Minos becomes a Demigod, he will be able to command armies of the dead alongside this blue-haired girl!' Forrest quickly came to this conclusion.
