The Rise of the Black Plain

Immediately, the tip of Richard's long spear cut through the air towards Rolf's chest, as it shone brightly and created a current of air where it passed.

At the same time, the target of Elen's father's attack was opening his eyes in great fear, almost to the point where they were falling out of his eye sockets. 

At that instant, he had suddenly stopped moving backward when he felt his right heel hit the beginning of a large rock wall.

'Damn, I'm at a dead end!' So, he thought in a split second as he realized that his enemy had put him in this situation without him even realizing it.

And indeed, having to fight an opponent of a higher level than his while he was injured, feeling a lot of pain, had taken some of his attention away. Because of this, he had fallen into Richard's plans, putting him in a highly precarious position right now.

In any case, time stood still for no one, and Richard's spear was getting closer and closer to its destination, while Rolf was trembling with fear at this instant.

"Die, you bastard!" 

"Damn it!" Finally, Rolf shouted in desperation, using all the energy left in his body to try to activate his defensive technique once more.

However, it didn't matter whether or not he would be able to survive this attack. Once such a thing happened, death was the only thing he could expect regardless of the outcome.

Once someone was utterly exhausted, anyone with comparable levels could effortlessly eliminate such an individual!

Therefore, even defending himself in this situation would not improve Rolf's situation at all.

And he couldn't help but deeply regret that.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He finally shouted without restraint, causing his voice to spread over hundreds of meters away.

At that moment, the tip of Richard's spear had broken through that man's last defenses and then through armor and skin until it struck its target's heart!

Sensing this, Rolf put both of his hands on the part of the spear handle that was pressing him against the wall in an attempt to stop the weapon.

But the strength of one arm of Richard was already more significant than what Rolf had at this moment. So, the spear slowly continued its way through that man's heart until its tip came out through his back!

At this moment, Rolf finally stopped screaming as his blood began to pour out of his mouth while some parts of his body trembled.

He was looking deep into Richard's eyes as if ready to make his last threat, maybe cursing this person he had been a rival of for hundreds of years.

But the darkness of death had already surrounded the supreme elder of the Allen family, as his eyes continued to stare into Richard's, but he could no longer see.

Puff!

Noticing the lifelessness in the eyes of the person in front of him, Elen's father didn't take long to pull his spear back, releasing the man in front of him.

Then Rolf's lifeless body slowly fell to the ground, with him at first dropping to his knees, until the local gravity pulled him entirely to the ground.

He was finally dead!

And seeing a pool of blood begin to form beneath that body, Richard said nothing and just watched that person for a few moments.

After that, he simply left such an individual behind and headed towards where those four enemies were fighting against the elders of the Nash and Stokes families.

"Now it's your turn, you damn Collins!"

...

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes had passed since the beginning of that conflict.

At this moment, of the six individuals who had come to this place in an attempt to settle their differences with the leaders of the Nash family, only 2 of them were left alive.

Besides the supreme elder of the Allen family, the other two elders who had accompanied him and the patriarch Duncan had died not long after Richard joined that other fight.

But after the death of those three people, Richard's group, the two Nash elders, and the three Stokes elders had only managed to eliminate the weakest of the two Collins family members.

Such people were the strongest in this place, apart from the two leaders of the Allen family, of course. 

And since Richard was dealing with Rolf at the very beginning of the fight, the five men who had faced the four opponents there had suffered almost as much as the other side.

As a result, after those three people were gone, Richard's group had difficulty dealing with the two Collins, only managing to kill the weakest of them, level 56, after several minutes.

But all that battle had not come without cost!

During the entire battle, from the beginning to the moment when there was only one Collins left alive in this place, two individuals from the Stokes family and one from House Nash had taken heavy blows.

One of them had lost a hand in the battle, while the other two had severe wounds in their chest regions.

Because of this, only the supreme elder Nash, one of the elders of this same family, and another of House Stokes were left fighting at the moment against that level 57 individual.

On the other hand, Celeste and Marvin had just finished their battle against the Allen patriarch!

After a hard fight for that individual, Celeste and Marvin had managed to weaken him more and more, while they had not suffered as much during the fight.

But Duncan Allen was indeed a formidable fighter and had done some damage to those two, to the point that although their lives were not at risk, they would both have to live with memories of that fight on their skins!

At least that's how it would be for quite some time.

In any case, fighting two opponents of equal proficiency was an almost impossible task to accomplish and still survive. And as expected, it didn't take long for that individual to become exhausted and suffer the fatal blow!

However, after fighting those two for several minutes and suffering severe injuries throughout his body, Duncan succumbed to one of Marvin's arrows that had pierced his head!

This arrow had pierced his head through the middle of the back of his neck, with the tip coming out right in the middle of Duncan's eyes while he had his eyes bulging.

But only Celeste had seen such an expression when finally that man's body had fallen face down to the ground.

...

Upon ending the life of the Allen patriarch, Marvin and Celeste wasted no time. After confirming the death of such a person, the two rushed towards that last battle.

Pow!

"Ahhhh!"

"That's the end of you, Collins bastard!" Richard said in excitement while feeling pain all over his body.

At the same time, the other two individuals there, one at level 56 and the other at level 55, continued to attack that person from the sides while dirt, blood, and sweat mixed on their clothes.

"Damn you!" That survivor said in a tone full of spite and hatred. "You wretched people, even if I die here, it won't be long until the entire Kingdom of the Waves is after your family!"

"The future king, Prince Charles, will slaughter you all!" He maniacally  said as he clung to the thought that he would at least be avenged.

After all, the organization behind that base on the Black Plain was probably from outside the region and could not interfere in local internal affairs. But, on the other hand, the Walker family was a regional organization that had every right to march towards this island.

So, this man was sure that every one of these people would die soon when Charles took over as king of the most powerful state in the region!

But before he had a chance to make any more threats, a fist-shaped, semitransparent attack pierced the air of that place, heading toward the back of this individual's head.

"You talk a lot of nonsense!" Celeste commented in a low voice, just when she saw her attack hit that person's head hard.

At that instant, she was tired since she had not only fought against Duncan but also some enemies who had tried to get in her way on the way here.

Still, her enemy was worse off than she was, plus her fighting proficiency was superior to his. 

So, the moment her attack hit that person's head, a sound similar to that of a watermelon falling from a great height on the ground reverberated through that place.

Then, that person's head exploded into countless pieces, ending his life!
