The Rise of the Black Plain

As soon as Minos reached the top of the island, he was confronted with the scene of the war. The weak Sovereigns and Grandmasters of the guild were cowering on the outskirts of the city, while the few powerful Supremes were fighting above the area.

If it weren't for the formations that Minos' faction had set up around the city, the current situation there would be even worse. However, because of them, most of the thousands of guild members there were still alive, resisting the powerful confrontation of low-level Supremes.

"Help the guild members. I'll try to help our allies against the Supremes. With a little luck, we'll defeat them." Minos said to Ruth, who was currently at level 111, enough to help allies up to level 114 cultivators.

Ruth nodded in agreement and moved under Minos' dragon aura, which lessened the effects of the Supremes' powers on her as they fought over the floating island.

Minos flew against the current position of the enemies, who were fighting at a high level against the Supremes and the Sovereigns who had sacrificed their Flashdrain parasites.

As he approached Segiel, Minos opened his dragon mouth and blew blue flames at the enemy attacking her, a Supreme who was currently at level 118!

Meanwhile, the four level 115 Generals were temporarily at the same level as some of their opponents, fighting valiantly to stop several enemies that outnumbered them. They also had the help of level 114 Sovereigns who had sacrificed their parasites and now had level 116 powers.

These native from Zocarro attacking the Armhands' headquarters today could increase their strength even further, approaching the peak of level 119. However, they could sense that their men in Examire had already been wiped out, and right now, a group of Supremes was flying towards them.

Was it worth sacrificing everything they had to kill these dozen opponents and then have to deal with problems that could kill them?

The five of them limited the power of their sacrifices and saved one last 'card' to deal with their remaining opponents or even escape from this area.

Thus, Minos appeared amid this high-level battle, blowing flames capable of surprising even some of those Supremes in action.

Segiel's opponent was momentarily distracted from her opponent by Minos' flames.

Meanwhile, one man from Minos' faction moved among the high-ranking fighters, appearing next to his leader and Segiel.

The other nine continued to press the other opponents, pressuring these local natives while one of them stood in Minos' defensive position.

'Who is that?' One enemy wondered.

Then, Minos presented his proposition. "My adversaries, regrettably, our current strength does not allow us to eliminate you today. However, if you choose to remain here, I solemnly assure you that at least half, if not more, of your forces will perish before the fall of Armhands. Under such circumstances, I extend an olive branch in the form of a truce. Retreat from this battlefield, and we shall not engage in pursuit."

Segiel clenched her fists, preferring to kill these opponents rather than let them go like this. But a leader's goal should not always be to win, but to protect their organization as much as possible. For Armhands, the retreat of these enemies was the best-case scenario!

As Minos' allies slowed their movements to join him, the enemies gathered.

Before they could make a decision, a group of five more Supremes appeared at the sides of the area, while two Supremes carried the body of a wounded man to Minos and Segiel.

"They got one of us," said one of the five Supremes temporarily at level 118, as he looked at the level 115 man who had been at level 117, and now was completely exhausted, looking terrible.

"Yes, but they're also surrounding us," said one of the strongest of these five individuals as he looked around and saw eleven level 116 Supremes, two level 115 ones, as well as Segiel, Minos, and the four men at level 118.

As they encountered this group, one of them looked down and saw more and more members of the Armhands coming out of their hiding places, while men of levels 113 and 114 positioned themselves around the ruined city.

The looks of hatred on their faces were hard to ignore, especially considering the serpent symbols on the foreheads of almost all of them.

'If we're not careful, we could be surrounded by over 30 Supremes who will do anything to kill us,' said the more observant one. 'We'd better retreat. These people don't want to sacrifice their parasites so they won't be weakened after dealing with us. But they will if we stay to continue.'

The other four looked around in different directions, not in the least doubting their companion's analysis.

One of them commented to his allies. 'If we leave now, this group will be weaker than us in a few days and weeks. If we gather another powerful group, we can make a stronger attack than today.'

This was obvious. After all, if they fought today, they would have to deal with nearly a 20 individuals who had already sacrificed their parasites, and all the others who might do so in the next few moments. If they returned in a few weeks, those who had sacrificed their parasites today would be weakened and unable to help the others.

In the meantime, their sacrifice, though less powerful than the Armhands', had better durability and recovery than Armhands'. In less time than it took those this guild's Generals in the surrounding area to recover, these five natives could recover and return for a second battle!

"Very well. Let's finish our business here today. See you in the future, Minos Stuart," one of them said before disappearing, glancing at the level 115 native for a moment, but making no effort to retrieve him.

The enemy had no incentive to surrender further than they already had. If they engaged in battle because of the level 115 individual, they would either be held captive or killed. It was deemed unwise to negotiate with them, as it would pose a significant threat to those five natives.

Whatever the fate of that unfortunate native was, it was no longer in the hands of those Supremes, but in the hands of Minos!

Minos smiled as he saw the movement of his enemies while he remained in position next to his strongest companions.

Feeling that today's battle had been resolved after the enemies had retreated some distance, he sighed in relief and declared the battle over.

"Today, we celebrate our victory. However, we must remain vigilant for the upcoming challenges. Let there be no doubt, our adversaries will soon make their presence known!"
