The Rise of the Black Plain



"Aaah!" 

Minos cried out in pain as his skin burned, as the worst explosion between his Black Hole Bomb, the black hole, and the enemy attack passed by.

Countless sea creatures perished in the seconds that the worst of this attack happened, but many more lives would suffer for the minutes and hours to come.

With such a mass of water evaporating and moving away from the focus of the blast, tsunamis would occur for the next few days near the coast with the Western Empire, Veora Kingdom, and even the Black Plain Empire. At the same time, powerful pulses would destroy coral and damage beasts below level 80 that were even a few dozen kilometers away.

This would be a calamity for this part of the Ancestral Sea, not as grand as the awakening of a high-level elder, but enough to draw attention from the farthest reaches of this sea!

In this initial moment of doom, which would surely become known quickly, Minos managed to shake off the hot steam and observe the damage to his body.

He was trembling in pain as he felt his energy running out, even though in the second before that Black Hole Bomb was launched, he had kidnapped two Colossal Sharks and stolen cultivation levels from them.

One of those two beings had died as a meat shield for Minos, while the other was still alive despite the severe injuries on its massive body.

If it wasn't for its level 83 and the fact that the worst of it was repelled by the Black Hole Bomb and Minos' black hole, but also its fellow traveler, that shark would have died!

But even though he had made that move, Minos had suffered and was mourning from deep burns all over his body, with his armor having been melted to the point that it had lost its usefulness.

'Damn it! I lost a grade-4 armor!' Minos felt the pain in his body along with his hatred, noting this defensive barrier had also helped him survive this challenge.

He then removed the scorching armor from his body, finally noticing countless blisters spreading from his feet to his cheeks.

His long brown hair had burned off, and now Minos was bald, without eyebrows or eyelashes.

His condition was terrible!

Fortunately, no internal damage had been done, and despite his exhaustion, he had no other problems at the moment.

"Damned beast!" He muttered as he didn't have the strength to scream.

Minos then took the green bottle that the elf from weeks ago had given him and clenched one of his fists. "I will have to drink, or these wounds will not recover!"

He wouldn't have to worry if he had a medium-level grade-4 doctor with him. But being alone in the sea and not even knowing anyone at that level, Minos decided to drink the precious Spring of Life he had received from that elf.

Such a thing was of extreme value, and only elves knew how to take this item from their island without causing its properties to be lost.

Minos knew this and immediately drank the thing that, decades ago, he had taken part in a fight with such an item as one of its objectives.

As he swallowed it, he immediately felt a coolness in his burning body, noticing as if his body and soul were being bathed.

This was extremely comfortable, and besides reducing his pain, it could heal and nourish both soul and body.

Minos felt his many burns regenerating, not so fast that the process happened in the blink of an eye, but fast enough for him to notice his recovery with the naked eye.

Amidst this, his soul became more stable than it already was. The laws he had recently stolen from the giant skeletons in the Spatial Kingdom yet to solidify in his soul suddenly joined his soul without difficulty, becoming part of him all at once.

Along with this, Minos felt as if he was getting stronger, even without raising his cultivation level.

'The Spring of Life is impressive!' He thought as that shark looked at him in awe, feeling that its life would end now that he had become hostage to this monster.

'Damn it. He could have just died! It would have been better for me!' That creature felt its own injuries. 'But the bastard had something so valuable on him... What the hell of luck!'

Meanwhile, the beast that had launched the attack against Minos had already gone back to sleep, as it did not expect that human to survive, nor was it bothered by the outcome of its attack.

But some powerful beings in that dark zone realized the situation above that area, surprised at how that human had escaped.

'Who is that?'

'I don't know, but what he threw before that explosion was really magnificent... Too bad he is still frail.'

'But maybe he will grow up... Even the King of the Seas was a mere Spiritual Saint once.'

'That's a long way to go for someone like him... Anyway, he must be mortally wounded now.'

'No, he'll be fine.' A mermaid said in the mental communication of these beings, seeing the golden aura of Minos' destiny. 'I can't see the path ahead of him for sure. Something powerful is protecting him. But I feel he will make it far in cultivation.'

'Oh?'

While those beings were talking about Minos without moving from their area, this young man finally felt all his injuries healed and some of his strength returning to its peak.

The Spring of Life was strange. It could draw energy into the soul and the body of the one who drank it. Because of this, while it recovered and solidified the characteristics of its consumer, it also restored the energy reserves of a weakened body.

Minos could redo his fusions when he finished recovering and use his abilities to the fullest!

But he didn't do this. Instead, he just wore new armor before steering his yacht and that shark to an area ahead.

He intended to sail again, but the sea was very rough in that area below where he was. So he flew for a few minutes, taking this risk until he reached a good spot to start his journey again.

His yacht had suffered from the previous explosion, but it could still sail, and most of its arrays were working.

Soon Minos was sailing while keeping that shark with him, wondering what to do with this creature.

'What do I do with you?'
