The Rise of the Black Plain

When they came face to face with this magnificent but gorgeous woman, Minos, and his people looked at her differently among themselves, some a little annoyed that they had acquired a mortal enemy because of her.𝗈𝗏𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

But others didn’t see it as such a problem. If it was her fault that they got into trouble with the shark, it was their fault for being so close to those two during the previous confrontation.

In short, no one had forced them to make their journey through this place!

Minos saw that such a whale wouldn’t make things difficult and smiled at her. “What is your name?”

“My name is Trilla.” She said as she looked at Minos, knowing that he was the leader of this crew because of how much power he had shown just a moment ago.

Minos was a monster. Even in the City of Whales, there wouldn’t be many who could compete with him at his level or stage!

With that in mind, she already respected him, and even though she was at level 92, she didn’t consider herself superior to this young human.

‘His fighting skills are as great as those of the geniuses of the strongest races in our world!’ She thought to herself, comparing Minos to dragons, sky whales, and elves.

Not every elf, sky whale, or dragon was the same. Even though one was a member of the most talented and strongest races in the world, not all members of those races had similar talents. 

They were not equal. Some were more promising!

Minos was similar to the most promising of these beings this whale had ever heard of.

She waved at him, and when she saw that he remained silent, she took the opportunity to apologize to the Kraken, who felt the pain of losing an arm because of her.

“I’m sorry about that. I wanted to kill that shark as much as you did. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as expected, and I ended up hurting you unintentionally.” She said as she bowed her head to the creature one level below her.

The Kraken gave the woman an ugly look but didn’t say anything while the people in his group helped him.

“What do we do now, Minos?” The other Kraken, already in his humanoid form, asked the group leader.

Minos had already gotten the whale to travel with his group, at least for the time being, so he already had plans in mind for dealing with the shark.

He said. “Well, first, we have to get to the Arctic Whale tribe. Staying here or continuing our journey without resolving the situation with that shark will be dangerous. It’s already very strong on its own, and if it gets allies, we won’t stand a chance.

Therefore, we must take shelter among powerful allies.” He said, looking at Trilla while everyone in his group also looked at her.

She saw no problem in taking a group that had saved her life back to her tribe and said. “The one you saw is a member of the Arctic Shark tribe.

Normally, my race and his race are not friendly with each other. But beings at our cultivation level don’t hunt each other unless something drastic happens.

A few days ago, when I was traveling near their tribe, something dire happened.

That day, I witnessed high-ranking sharks from that tribe meeting with land dragons and acting together against a weakened Sky Whale.” She said in a very serious tone, concerned.

Sky whales were like the rulers of the sea. Even outside their territory, the beings of this race had their way, and the entire sea had to be on their side when confrontations like the one between dragons and whales broke out.

This was especially true for the other whale races, who were like high-ranking vassals of the sea kings.

As such, Trilla was loyal to the Sky Whale tribe, and when she witnessed the betrayal of the Arctic Sharks, she was determined to report it to the Sky Whales.

Without this information, many Sky Whales could soon perish at the hands of the traitorous sharks!

Because she had discovered this contact, she had been pursued by that shark. Not only that, but because she had fled with Minos’ ‘help,’ she was now sure that her tribe would be attacked.

“Then we really must go to my tribe. We must tell my elders what happened and pass this information on to the Sky Whale tribe.” She said seriously before apologizing again. 

“Anyway, I’m just sorry that I got you involved in all of this. But as long as we eliminate those who know your identity, you shouldn’t have too much trouble continuing your journey… Where were you going?”

“Continent of Beasts.” One of the Sea Folk men replied as all of his crew slowly returned to the ship he was on.

“A chaotic journey. The clashes between land dragons and sky whales are making the area you must follow quite dangerous.

But I’ll try my best to get an elder from the Sky Whale tribe to guide you part of the way, at least until you reach an area far enough away from the territory of those damned sharks.

Before that, I ask you to fight by my people’s side until you can return to your journey.” She said sincerely.

Since they could not turn back in this situation, no one complained. Now, they could only look for the best possible outcome to all of this, which, in the opinion of everyone there, was to help this information reach the strongest tribe in the world so that, in return, they could receive something like help to travel through that tribe’s territory.

The people there agreed, and as soon as the injured Kraken began to sleep in his humanoid form, the members of the Sea Folk there changed the direction of their ship.

“Alright, guys, let’s go to the Arctic Whale Tribe.” Minos said, looking to the south of that area.

Earlier, someone had mentioned this tribe for them to stop. The Arctic Whales were very strong and could be important on a journey across the North Sea. 

However, after Minos’ success in gaining allies among the Fish People and the Krakens, they thought it would not be necessary to risk approaching a tribe that was not in the Sea Folk’s territory.

They would have to be very careful with these whales, and there was still the risk that they would not welcome them into their tribe and would see them as enemies.

Whales were generally docile, but some didn’t like visitors in their homes!

To avoid confrontation for no gain, the crew had already given up on passing through such a tribe. It was already on its way to the continent of Emlyn, no longer interested in stopping to recruit allies at sea.

The area they were traveling through was sparsely populated, and there were many dangers ahead. In other words, even if they wanted to continue recruiting, there weren’t many tribes to stop at.

However, now that things had changed, they were already adapting their plans to the new circumstances!

‘Let’s see what we can get out of this tribe…’ Minos thought to himself.
