The Rise of the Black Plain

As it charged toward the ship surrounded by creatures of different races, the Arctic Shark moved its tail fin from side to side with great force, shooting out a beam of energy blades.

This creature was so fast and powerful that it instantly caused multiple attacks to form around it, traveling to various points on the ship in its vicinity.

These razor-sharp, fin-shaped blades sliced through the water with ease, approaching Minos’ group so quickly that there was little room for them to dodge.

“Attacking us?” One of the Krakens at the front of the boat shouted in a changed tone, not liking the shark’s movement at all.

As strong as the shark was, the creatures in Minos’ group couldn’t help but be offended by this attack when they had nothing to do with these two creatures.

But while the strongest of the group were offended, the others felt the danger of these attacks that could even end their journey there in this place!

“Shit!”

One of the mermen shouted as he prepared to counterattack with everything he had, the only thing he felt he could do.

Minos saw this and immediately raised his cultivation level to the peak of level 85, using Emlyn to help him achieve what he needed to help his people withstand the attack.

In the process, his avatar grew in size, while Minos found it easier to control the laws around him.

Jumping from the deck of his ship, he used Chaotic Gravity to manipulate the pieces of the iceberg that were forming there, as well as frozen spiritual energy to defend his ship.

Using this technique on the ocean floor was more difficult than on land. But perhaps because the liquid covering them in this place had a considerable mass, unlike what would happen in the open air, Minos felt something different while manipulating this technique.

Narrowing his eyes, he suddenly decided to move the masses of water near his group, making huge air pockets appear in the path of the enemy energy blades.

As he did so, Minos saw the enemy shark’s attacks change from fluids and then change direction, quickly passing through the air pockets, re-entering the water, and changing direction again.

With one simple move, he made all of the shark’s attacks miss his ship by a wide margin!

“Oh?” One of the Sea Folk who was about to intervene saw this and was impressed.

But what Minos had done was very simple. He knew that light changes direction when it changes the substance it passes through. For example, a light ray would go straight up in the air. But if it hit a glass surface, it would subtly change direction.

The same thing could happen with attacks launched in an underwater environment!

When you launched an attack, you were considering the variables of air or water, variables that could change the direction of your fired item.

But if you changed the DENSITY of the substance the projectile was passing, i.e., the place where the item passed through, it could be subtly deflected.

By applying this twice in the path of the blades sent by the shark, Minos protected his entire crew by deflecting those terrible attacks that could kill everyone on his ship onto the adjacent terrain.

Realizing that they were safe because of Minos’ quick movement, everyone in the crew looked at him in surprise, seeing how great his understanding of how this world worked was to change a desperate situation with such a simple move.

What determined how talented and powerful someone was was not the amount of spiritual energy they used but how they used small fractions of their powers.

By demonstrating this with a simple movement of masses of water, Minos showed everyone in his group why he was the leader, even though there were beings there who were stronger than him in terms of physical strength in close combat.

But as the Kraken looked at him with more respect than ever, Minos moved the frozen masses nearby and fired them at the shark that was staring furiously in his direction.

“You court death!” The creature turned and began to look only at Minos’ group, sensing that these beings were more capable than he had thought and that he would have to eliminate them as soon as possible.𝗈𝗏𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

Even the great whale was shocked and slowed its flight, looking at the group with hope.

‘Can they defeat that bastard?’ This huge whale thought to itself as it saw Minos’ attacks flying in strange directions.

But as this was happening, the surrounding waters were changing again, with pockets of air appearing in the path of the artifacts Minos was launching.

As he did so, each of the frozen masses he launched at high speed subtly changed direction, misleading the great shark as to where they had been launched.

Seeing them too close for it to evade, the shark closed its big mouth and raised its defenses, preparing for the shock.

POW!

BOOOOM!

The collision was so intense that chunks of ice and frozen spiritual energy exploded as they hit different parts of the shark’s body.

Amid Minos’ powerful long-range attack, the shark couldn’t hide its pain, and as blood began to flow around its body, it opened its mouth again, this time because of the agony it felt throughout its entire body.

It was at level 93, but for the first time in a long time, it felt that not only had its outermost layer of skin been pierced, but even some of its cartilage had been destroyed.

“Damn it! I’ll kill you, human!” It shouted in hate, glaring at Minos with its eyes growing redder and redder.

“We’re going to eat you for dinner tonight,” Minos said as he activated Dragon’s Gaze and looked directly into the eyes of the angry creature that was swimming towards him.

As he activated this ridiculous ability that could make even level 93 creatures tremble with fear, the shark, who wasn’t particularly strong in mental power, felt something terrible enter its eyes.

Shit!

Meanwhile, the whale realized it no longer needed to flee and stopped to look at Minos, shocked to see a human doing all this while only being a Sage.

‘Who is this?’ It asked itself simultaneously as its enemy thrashed around in the water, and Minos’ allies finally moved.

When Minos mentally hit the shark, the two Kraken and the level 91 mermaids didn’t hesitate to swim over and attack it.

They knew that Minos wouldn’t be able to keep attacking for long, and they should take advantage of the moment when it was temporarily weakened.

With that in mind, while the mermaids were already using their mental manipulation skills to swim around him, the two Krakens used their arms to attack the shark with all their might.
