The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2673 Undead



Chapter 2673  Undead



Staring at the ship ahead, Ruth felt a weight on her soul as her field of vision seemed even narrower than it had been a moment ago.


With a chill running through her soul from her head to her feet, she swallowed her saliva as her vision blurred, an instant before she fell face-first to the ground.


'Sh-' She had barely finished her thought when she collapsed.


Followed by Ruth, 12 other crew members lost consciousness as Minos rose from his position, using the help of one of his companions to reach the absolute peak of level 114.


Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough and almost half of his crew were unconscious when he extended his powers to help his people.


'Shit! Gloria and Ruth have passed out and Abby almost lost consciousness too.' He looked around, sensing his wives' plight, having narrowly helped his wife by raising her cultivation.


Meanwhile, the four Supremes of the crew became five levels more solemn, circulating their energies and preparing to act.


Navigator Diret clenched his fists as he commanded his men not to faint, slowing their vessel to the same level as the apparently abandoned wooden ship.


'What are we going to do?' asked the old navigator.


He knew a lot more about these seas than Minos. Even Leger couldn't compare to him. But he wasn't a warrior, much less did he have the solutions to all kinds of problems that might befall them on this arduous journey ahead.


'Get into position.' Minos ordered not only Diret, but all those still conscious. 'I have a feeling we'll need to move. Be prepared for mental attacks.'


The individuals who kept their consciousness intact in the face of the strange paralyzing energy, capable of numbing, coming from that ship, swallowed their saliva, preparing themselves according to Minos' recommendation.


Then, just as they were passing side by side with the wooden ship, the apparently abandoned vessel stopped along with their ship.


'Why did we stop?' Wovar asked Diret.


'We didn't stop. Something is stopping us from moving!' said Diret with a terrible sensation reaching his throat, feeling bad omens.


Minos prepared to move, standing at the bow of his ship, when suddenly, from the apparent emptiness of the ship, came a shout and strong winds, frightening even the most prepared of the group.


Abby narrowed her eyes as a bluish mist circulated around her body and said, looking at the ship, "Reveal yourself, undead! We sense your presence!"


Minos and almost everyone else couldn't sense what Abby had just noticed, but in an instant after she spoke, they understood what it was all about.


At Abby's command, a semi-transparent, extremely white creature, glowing as if it were made of light, appeared at the bow of the wooden vessel.


Simultaneously with the formation of this body of light, metallic sounds resounded from different areas of the ship, while Clexvog, in the highest position of Minos' metal boat, was the first to spot what was happening. Gradually, several skeletons, until a few moments ago hidden by the structures of that wooden boat, rose, dressed in armor and with weapons in their hands.


Some of them had humanoid bodies, but several others looked like the remains of beings from different types of skeletal races.


The creature of light, without very well-defined physical contours to indicate a face distinguishable enough for one to recognize it as the unique being it was, raised one of its arms in the air and shouted once more.


Followed by the scream, which could paralyze and disorienting, half of Minos' group still standing felt its effects, temporarily becoming incapable of even thinking properly.


Minos resisted the enemy shout well alongside Abby and the group's Supremes. When he saw the enemies, corpses of different races, moving towards him from the wooden boat, he advanced too, leaping into the air and spreading his six wings.


Of the four Supremes, two accompanied Minos, while the two giants of the crew—Wovar and Clexvog—stayed on the boat to protect it. Tiolos and the other Supreme of the group flew towards the enemies, some of them with power capable of challenging even the strongest of the group!


Abby stayed behind as Minos transformed into an immense dragon, not hesitating to use his own powers while temporarily being two levels stronger.


Bringing her hands together, she focused all her strength on the enemy skeletons, trying not to paralyze them, but to hinder their action by preventing them from moving as she wanted.


Minos knew their situation was not good. The enemy crew was so strong that it could kill their group a few times over if they weren't extremely precise at the start of the fight.


'We have to neutralize this threat quickly. Otherwise, only the sacrifice of our parasites can save us.' He opened his mouth, spitting scorching flames at the wooden vessel.


'My level and Abby's won't stay at this level for long!'


Aware of this, he spat flames that immediately burned to the point where only ashes remained behind some of the weaker skeletons moving around, while parts of the boat burned as well.


A sweeping pressure fell on the wooden ship, as the dragon claws launched themselves in spiritual blows against the enemies, pressing down to crush them or even just paralyze them.


Minos stretched out his mental powers to protect his companions in the surrounding area, but amid his allies' actions, the extremely bright creature turned its face towards him, as if it had turned its eyes on Minos.


Minos felt a terrible sensation and before he knew it, he found himself in this same sea, but in a totally different place, amid a battalion of enemies surrounding him, enemies much stronger than the skeletons.


This feeling didn't last more than a few moments. Just as his companions fighting the skeletons were about to watch the glowing entity penetrate his body, Minos opened his eyes, while a different heartbeat echoed from the depths of his being.


Like a strong drumbeat, the beating of the Incorruptible Heart pulsed an invisible aura from his body, driving away the creature threatening to invade Mins. Then, opening his eyes, he molded his wings into a different shape as he looked at the enemy.


Golden beams lit up the darkness, shooting out from his wings and striking the white creature, making it scream again, this time screams of pain and not the call to war from earlier!
