The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2307

Three days later...

Minos' group was currently being attacked by competitors who had entered The Obsidian Shore for more or less the same reasons as themselves: to take advantage of the opportunities in the area.

Level 99, 100, and 101 creatures were attacking them, while some of the monsters in the area were taking part in the attack under the influence of these creatures.

You might think that Minos' party would be able to deal easily with these threats, but things weren't that simple!

Minos was still not 100%, while the sacrifice of her Flashdrain severely weakened Ruth. Almost the entire party was wounded from the battle they had fought against mid-level Sovereigns to escape the previous area where they had collected the Black Heart mission objective.

As a result, even creatures weaker than those they had recently defeated were able to pressure them!

However, the group would not fall today. As the team's main warrior, Minos would fend off or kill the enemies closest to his people today.

Using his powers to the maximum that his current state allowed, Minos increased his and his allies' cultivation with the help of their enemies. Meanwhile, he displayed the splendor of his technique fusions, using several variations to shock the unprepared enemies.

Even when weakened, they were difficult to defeat. After 5 minutes of fighting with what they had at their disposal, Minos' group killed half of the aliens and monsters that attacked them.

"Damn it! I didn't expect them to be so strong!" Said one of the fleeing aliens after his group's attack, and others failed, mostly because of Minos.

"Who is this man with the golden wings? That bastard killed a level 103 Sovereign with one blow!" Shouted another fleeing individual, who couldn't help but think of the scene when Minos used the indestructible body to deal with one of the monsters that had also attacked him along with those aliens competing in the area.

As much as monsters and competitors were no allies, the powerful beings who lived on The Obsidian Shore were no fools. They knew when to ignore or even temporarily ally with other beings against their goals.

With the valuable resources that Minos and his people carried, even the violent creatures of the region would join the explorers there in attacking the opportunities of The Obsidian Shore.

But today, Minos' enemies were not strong enough to put him in danger. After much effort, he killed the strongest of his opponents and scared off those who had escaped.

When he saw the survivors fleeing in different directions, Minos didn't waste his time chasing after any of them. He ordered his group to get moving again, heading for the exit of The Obsidian Shore.

"What are we going to do, Minos? If we keep going like this, we won't make it out of this area in one piece." Ruth commented as she was carried by one of her group mates, a bird-like creature.

Minos had already realized the problem and said. "We have no choice but to find a place to hide while we get stronger. If everyone here can recover and raise their cultivation by another level, I believe our chances will improve greatly."

"But how do we do that? Where can we find this peace? Even the place we were in couldn't keep us safe long enough for that." Commented the leader of the aliens allied with the Armhands group.

"We can only try to hide in the Obsidian City," Minos said, the only possibility he believed would give them the chance he wanted.

The members of his group looked at him as they cautiously flew through the forest.

"The Obsidian City is 10 days away from where we are now. The way there will be extremely dangerous." Said one of the aliens in the group.

"I know. We'll have to make the necessary sacrifices to get there. Either we do, or there's no way we'll leave this place alive." Minos said seriously.

He would not give up his mission. Completing this mission was very important to him and his future plans!

Therefore, he could only strive to achieve his goals and get through all the rocks that came his way.

"We will be attacked by groups like the one above at least three more times on the way to Obsidian City. Are you sure?" asked the leader of Minos' allies.

"Yes. Be prepared to use whatever cards you have up your sleeve. Either you use them to get there, or you'll probably fall in the next few days." Minos said without any doubt in his heart.

Everyone in the group was more or less nervous about what they had to do. But Minos was right to think of the Obsidian City.

Obsidian City was the main point of The Obsidian Shore, a place abandoned by time and relatively safe from special phenomena that could surprise and kill visitors to the area.

It was considered a neutral point in the region, where the monsters of the area could not enter, but also a place where it was impossible to use powers to fight.

Obsidian City was like a sacred place amid chaos. Its natural laws prevented almost any violent action, so even if it wasn't impossible for other groups like Minos' to enter, no one could force their group to do anything there.

On the other hand, this site was blessed for cultivation. Any injured person or cultivator who wanted to improve their strength and who was in the area would always consider entering Obsidian City!

Knowing the area's characteristics, Minos' fellow cultivators could understand his motivation. Not only that but considering the dangers they had already experienced in the short time since they had left the undead's place of death, they couldn't help but feel pessimistic about traveling out of this area in the condition they were in.

If only they were in their best condition, they might hesitate to go to Obsidian City. However, since they were mostly tired and injured, they couldn't help but like the idea of a place where they could recuperate and cultivate for a while.

So they would soon start their journey to that place while already thinking about what they could use to make sure they got there.

...

Over the next four days, Minos' group would face another great battle that would take the most out of some of them but would also be the end of life for others.

Unfortunately, this was not a journey that everyone who started would finish.

However, the group would use the sacrifices of their companions to continue their goal until they reached the Obsidian City. With no other choice, they would do whatever it took to reach their goal!
