The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2618

The moment Hollie hit Gloria's body, the red-haired woman flew off the fighting platform until she overshot the platform area and crashed into some chairs in the stands.

Almost all the spectators watching the confrontation between the two women stood up at that moment, witnessing a rapid development in this fight that they hadn't expected.

But with Gloria's world of mercury crumbling, no one doubted the outcome of this fight.

"Hollie's skills are unfair, even in a theoretically fair fight." Ruth analyzed the result as she appeared beside her harem sister, helping Gloria recover from the injuries Hollie had inflicted. "Not only can she raise her own level while weakening her opponents, she can also steal their vitality and increase her own, including her strength, speed, and defensive abilities."

Minos appeared at Gloria's side and helped her up from the rubble. His wife's injuries were not serious. Since she had fought at the same level as Hollie, she had received injuries from a fight at a lower level than her own, which were not serious.

However, these injuries were enough to end the battle for her, as Minos' seal prevented her from using all of her cultivation.

Thus, as she rose from the wreckage, Gloria sighed with an embarrassed look on her face. But she gathered her strength to admit defeat. "Congratulations, Hollie. You're a little monster and you deserve this victory."

Gloria looked at Ruth and congratulated her as well. "You made a good warrior. Unlike that womanizing Kendrick, Hollie is the real deal. Give her a cultivation like his, and I don't know if he'll be able to keep up with her."

Abby stood beside them as Gloria talked about her son, but the blue-haired woman couldn't help but agree as she sighed.

"I hear that..." Kendrick lowered his head as he laughed bitterly, Grisdi at his side supporting him with a gentle squeeze on his shoulder.

"Don't overthink it. You've got two months to find a way to beat Hollie," said the woman at Kendrick's side as the little blue dragon looked at his 'father', expecting to see him fight.

Hollie celebrated with a smile on her face as she received this victory, looking at her older brother and taunting him. "You're the next, brother. I hope you'll forgive my impertinence if I knock you out with one punch!"

"You're still too small for that. I won't go easy on you, little sister," Kendrick raised his face as he said these words.

Minos didn't interfere in his children's quarrel, but moved to Hollie's side on the platform and looked at his girl with satisfaction. "You are really strong. Congratulations on your victory. Keep working hard and the world will be within your reach."

"You're still too small for that. I won't go easy on you, little sister," Kendrick raised his face as he said these words.

Minos didn't interfere in his children's quarrel, but moved to Hollie's side on the platform and looked at his girl with satisfaction. "You are really strong. Congratulations on your victory. Keep working hard and the world will be within your reach."

"Hehe." She smiled at her father, accepting his mission before climbing down from the platform and running to the family cave.

Now that her battle was over, she planned to stay with her dragon egg and wait for Irgim to hatch!

Minos looked at his faction members at the edge of the arena and said loudly, "Go back to your work. We'll see you in a month for Kendrick and Lily's fight."

Nearly all the dozens of spectators disappeared at Minos' words, leaving only him and his human wives.

Segiel wasn't there. She was still cultivating in seclusion to advance to the 12th stage.

...

In the blink of an eye, seven weeks had passed, and the fifth and penultimate round of the competition for the Hydras' Amulet had come and gone. As expected, Kendrick defeated Lily, securing his second victory in the family competition.

Lily lost for the third time, but she wasn't too upset. She wasn't expected to win, even though she had a powerful demon flame ability that could consume an opponent's spiritual energy.

During this period, Hollie's dragon, Irgim, was also born, coming into the world with a cultivation of level 40, lower than his siblings, as Minos had expected.

Now the Stuart family was getting on with their routine in Armhands, just a few days away from Kendrick and Hollie's fight, when the Stuart family tournament would finally be decided.

But before this important event for the family, something more important to them happened. After weeks of secluded cultivation, Segiel left the Council's main cultivation room at the beginning of the day.

Now, all the Council members available at the headquarters were gathered around the guild's administration building, where Segiel would now command the troops.

Among the many people there, Minos and Abby were in one position closest to where Elder Kaus was performing the handover of his position to Segiel.

In front of the ox-headed giant, Segiel, with her beautiful blue hair, was dressed in silver battle armor, with a smile on her face.

Not only had she achieved her great goal of becoming the guild's Chief Commander, but she had also reached the 12th stage, and not just one level up, but two!

Having reached the beginning of level 116, she was now the 12th strongest member of Armhands, Commander of a grand squadron of Sovereigns and Grandmasters!

"Commander, I now present you to your troops," Kaus said as he nodded toward the many Generals in the hall of this administrative building. "This is your new leader, Generals!"

"Commander Segiel, your subordinates salute you," said the over 50 people there, two of them Supremes whom Minos had helped to reach the 12th stage during Segiel's seclusion and who had not yet left for the battlefield.

The war was even more hectic now than it had been a few weeks ago. The Supreme Leader had finally left headquarters to join the fight against the forces led by Firestone Mines!

Segiel raised her staff in the air and made her first speech as Commander of Armhands, promising to fight for the future of the guild and help her comrades reach the Upper Realm.

"...Together we will achieve all our ambitions!" She finished with these words, glancing toward Minos and Abby, truly confident that she could accomplish this with at least these two.
