The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2563 Level 109!

At the moment he was engulfed by the dragon’s flames, Minos opened his eyes wide and felt his own skin melt like butter.

For a moment, he felt his entire being on fire, his nerves radiating sensations he had never felt before, his heart pounding so hard in his chest that it felt like it would burst out of his body at any moment.

His mind went blank, and for a moment he felt powerless, just as he had centuries ago when he woke up in the Stuart residence in the capital of the old Brown Kingdom. Back then, he had spent years in a coma, awakening after terrible events that could have led to greatness or a quick death.

Since that day, he had never felt as powerless as he did now, his body practically beyond his control as it burned deeply.

He couldn’t even scream, losing the ability to do so as his bones began to melt.

Suddenly, his Incorruptible Heart beat differently as his eyes turned golden and a terrifying aura emerged from the depths of his body.

A dragon’s roar erupted from Minos’ throat, releasing a powerful sound capable of frightening the weakest and warning the strongest.

The ground around Minos trembled as the energy and laws concentrated around him, forming something similar to a soul avatar, but in a different form than one would expect from a winged human.

Four majestic legs formed, covered in gold and silver scales, while an enormous tail, as big as the neck of the giant dragon in front of Minos, extended from its back.

Simultaneously, the six seraphim’s wings opened, but now they were covered not with feathers but with dragon scales, the same color as the rest of the body, gold and silver.

On the magnificent shore of this projection, several antennae and protrusions rose, forming what looked like a mountain with several white needles rising from the ‘ground.’

Meanwhile, a head similar to that of the dragon breathing against him formed, its eyes of different colors, one of them silver and the other golden. Its sharp teeth looked like cruel weapons, and its nostrils could detect the most subtle scents. Its ears were also formed to detect the sounds of distant hearts beating.

As the dragon finished forming, Minos stopped feeling pain, while his soul energy stabilized, now at a higher level than it had been at the beginning of the day.

As he felt the pain in his body subside, Minos felt reality return to his grasp, while his progress to the middle of level 109 was guaranteed!

He opened his mouth and shouted to the sky, his dragon roar pushing him away from the illusion in which he had been talking to the level 129 dragon soul fragment.

“Do not forget our agreement. I will await your return,” the creature said in a sighing tone and disappeared as Minos saw the yellow skeleton and the black terrain nearby again.

He still had some of his features suppressed, but at that moment, Minos felt like a completely different being, almost as if he had actually transformed into a dragon!

His body became as large as that of a member of that race, his senses sharpened to the point that his former self seemed like an ignorant junior.

His aura benefited the most and was now much stronger, enough for him to feel that the difference that had existed between him and the dragons had now disappeared.

Previously, Minos had felt that the fighting skills of the dragons were superior to those of the natives and aliens who lived in Zocarro. If in Zocarro he could face level 114 Sovereigns with all his means, then in this world of dragons, his limit should be level 112 with the cultivation of that time. 𝓯𝘸ℴ𝘷.𝘤𝑜𝑚

But now he felt that this difference had disappeared for him, that he had become even more capable than in Zocarro, even if he disregarded his level increase.

For a moment, Minos was sure that no Sovereign, regardless of race or origin, could challenge him in his current circumstances. Only Supremes would be a problem for him!

“I didn’t think that I could become so strong only at level 109!” Minos said aloud as he moved his large dragon head, looking down at himself as he clasped his claws.

The six seraphim’s wings, now covered in dragon scales, flapped simultaneously, sending out powerful gusts of wind that could be felt even by those outside of this Ancestral Land.

Even tens of kilometers away from where Minos was now, the four dragons from earlier felt the end of Minos’ awakening, each of them witnessing the birth of a new dragon.

The old gray dragon’s eyes widened as he saw the gust of black dust coming toward him and his companions, feeling Minos’ power even at the great distance between them.

“He did it.”

“It seems he’s become much stronger than we expected.”

“The divine power he will awaken as he progresses will surely be related to our race. A new Supreme with dragon powers will soon appear in the universe!”

The creatures also celebrated by releasing their auras, each of them excited about the future and looking forward to perhaps one day experiencing the blessing of someone with dragon powers taking the throne in the Upper Realm.

Until then, it would be easy for all of them to reach the 12th stage and go in search of the 13th stage!

Meanwhile, Minos spent no more than a minute testing his new dragon powers before returning to his humanoid form, which still looked very much like his previous version.

But after the forging of the dragon flames, his fleshy body had changed, becoming tougher, bigger, more muscular, and his eyes were more like those of a dragon than a human.

Even in this form, Minos felt he could challenge even armies of high-ranking Sovereigns using only his physical power, without using his innate divine ability or even techniques.

His constitution was so strong that he couldn’t help but imagine that he might be able to reach the Celestial grade of his physique before he even became a Supreme!

‘Perfect. Now I can return to my journey on Zocarro with more peace of mind.’ He clenched his fists as he walked back to the entrance of the Ancestral Land of Dragons.
