The Rise of the Black Plain

Activating his divine ability, Artaud's aura grew stronger and his attributes increased as dragon shadow appeared on his body.

His hands turned into deadly weapons, while wings spread out from the center of his back, forming an unmistakable silhouette around him.

The corpses that moved to attack him felt the pressure of Artaud's aura, feeling their speed slow as the enemy suppressed them on a smaller scale.

But with Minos as his target, Artaud was much more focused on this young human than on any of the aliens in the area.

As he performed a series of incredibly fast and precise movements, slashing at Minos' neck, a series of blades formed in the air around Artaud's target.

Blade's Dance!

Minos felt the many attacks capable of injuring even level 114 Sovereigns flying towards his body, the first of them aimed at his neck.

He wouldn't face something like this at the beginning of the battle. By using the Temporal Sands to his advantage, he moved from his position to an area not surrounded by Artaud's dragon claw blades.

'Very good. But is it enough?' Artaud saw his blades change direction, heading towards where Minos had just appeared.

In their path, however, an enormous foot appeared and slashed vertically downwards at a part of those blades.

The moment Wovar jumped in the direction where Minos had appeared, he destroyed more than half of those energy weapons with one of his feet, smashing them to the ground.

Then, stopping in front of Minos, the giant smiled as he opened his mouth and sucked in the surrounding air. Positioning his lips close together, a moment later he blew against the weapons that were still pursuing Minos.

Wovar's blow froze almost every blade in the air, even freezing the airborne particles as they flew in the opposite direction of his blow.

Clexvog appeared next to Artaud and stepped toward this individual, who was only 5 meters tall.

Artaud saw the giant foot coming dangerously close to his position, breaking the air in its path, and he intended to crush it.

But even though these giants were faster than their size would suggest, they were no match for Artaud.

Seeing Clexvog's attack, the man moved toward Minos, his mouth open as he stared defiantly at Wovar.

Then a celestial roar erupted from Artaud's mouth, sending a shockwave toward where Wovar and Minos were standing, instantly disorienting the giant in a defensive posture in front of the brown-haired human.

Minos put his hands to his ears. Unlike Wovar, who wasn't so immune to sonic attacks, he coped better with the Dragon's Roar, a variation of Artaud's divine ability. Instead of being temporarily stunned, Minos felt only pain as he watched his enemy once again attack him with deadly intent.

Just as Artaud was about to reach Minos again, however, another of the human's allies appeared in his path, causing an enormous cauldron to appear around Minos.

As he reached the cauldron before hitting Minos, Artaud temporarily felt the power of the level 114 individual, who certainly couldn't defeat him alone, but could defend himself against this General now.

"Tsk! Annoying skill! Let's see how long you can last like this!" He shouted angrily as he looked through the thing and saw Sender and Minos.

Then a huge hand of energy formed above the area, a concentration of the powers of each of the corpses in the area, led by Jembei, to put pressure on Artaud.

Feeling his body suddenly become heavier, the man looked up with anger in his eyes. But he didn't have time to deal with the corpses when the second opponent, who was temporarily at level 114, attacked him, causing extremely cruel, poisonous, and sharp spider legs to appear from the ground against his body.

"I will kill each one of you! Starting with you, you wretch!" Artaud's gaze shifted, realizing that he must eliminate these pests before Minos. Otherwise, achieving his goal in the area would be impossible.

As soon as he focused on someone other than Minos, he felt his whole body tremble; the dragon silhouette covering him becoming more and more physical as he showed as much as he could without sacrificing his parasite.

The giant hand that was about to reach him exploded, making each of the ten corpses feel as if they had been pushed toward its movement, while their souls felt wounded.

The spiders' legs broke as they touched Artaud's dragon silhouette.

He then jumped up before briefly counterattacking the level 114 enemy that had just attacked him.

'I'm going to kill you and those two idiot giants before I kill Minos!' He used the dragon's tail on his back to reach the underground enemy and unleashed an attack from the sky that was far more terrifying than the stomp of the giant Clexvog a moment ago.

Minos narrowed his eyes as he saw the movement of Artaud's rising dragon, ordering his men to move while sensing scenes from a future he would rather avoid.

A black ring appeared around Artaud before seals appeared in the air around him, forming chains that grew around his body.

Dragon's Gaze!

Minos condensed a lot of his powers and formed an attack in the shape of a golden dragon that was so powerful that it could even hurt level 113 Sovereigns.

Minos' golden dragon attacked Artaud while Wovar left his state of mental confusion and moved together with Clexvog, both of them punching the air as if they wanted to hit each other's fists. But their target was clearly Artaud, who moved between their two fists.

The air exploded as blue flames rose from Minos' body, appearing next to Sender in Artaud's path.

As much as he couldn't hurt or deal with Artaud on his own, that didn't mean Minos would fall to a single attack from the enemy, or that he couldn't face him directly for a few moments!

Artaud found himself attacked from all sides as the corpses moved again, leaving him in a situation where he had no choice but to deal with the enemy attacks while attacking his target.
