The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2701 Nearing the Target



Chapter 2701  Nearing the Target

"That noise..." Suddenly, a hawk-eyed man, flying towards the coast to the far east of Uzira, stopped moving as he heard a violent blast.

For a moment he put both hands to his ears, using his wings to cover his body as strong winds blew against him.

The surrounding trees threatened to fall over, while small stones and objects on the ground, such as leaves, rose into the air, flying around the area.

As he felt a chill run down his spine, a power capable of killing even someone higher than his power, level 119, he narrowed his eyes tightly and clenched his fists.

'Who's behind this? It doesn't feel right. That feels wrong!' He didn't feel well when she noticed a level 119 aura, but one that didn't seem to be from a real level 119 being.

Charged with a foreign aura, full of particularities totally unusual to Uzira, he immediately connected the dots and came to a sudden realization.

'Invading aliens!' His gaze turned uglier as a murderous glint took hold in his eyes.

Uzira had a long history with the reality of Zocarro. In the distant past, this had been a great world without divisions, where it was possible for even Grandmasters to travel by sea, going from one continent to another. But when the planet was discovered by aliens, in order to protect what was most valuable to them, the natives of Uzira made a definitive decision.

To protect their land from invaders, they intensified the extreme phenomena of the world's seas and allied themselves with marine races. This made it many grades more difficult for foreigners to enter their world, but it wasn't enough to completely stop groups like the one in front of this man.

To completely stop foreign threats, the natives of Uzira, like this man, hunted down invaders of their land as if it were a sport they took seriously.

Hatred appeared on this man's face as he felt a sudden need to accept the danger ahead and check out the enemies. He was looking for the group that his hostage had directed him to, but even if this group ahead wasn't the one he was looking for, he couldn't help but check out what this strong feeling was all about.

'I'll hide my movements and assess the situation.' He advanced again, this time walking across the terrain without using his wings to fly around the area.

It must be said that not every creature on the continent would hunt down foreign invaders. Uzira's creatures were not foolish enough to act blindly. If the situation wasn't favorable, even powerful creatures would avoid trouble themselves.

However, there were generous rewards based on the level of threats neutralized, so there were also those who were bounty hunters and agreed to risk a little more than ordinary individuals.

Jalgon moved on, soon arriving in the area where he had sensed the source of the crash a few moments before.

He came across an area corrupted by mortal remains and protected his airways.

The stench of rotting flesh and decaying things tried to invade his nose as he felt the mark of death in that place.

Even without a whole body for him to investigate, he quickly identified the creature that had died there, a being who, even though he was a native of the continent, was not saddened to learn of its death.

In fact, a subtle smile formed on the man's lips.

'Looks like the group that was here eliminated one of those vermin. That's not bad. They got nothing from his body and they still eliminated this parasite.'

Despite the common feeling of hatred that the beings of Uzira felt towards aliens, they didn't love each other. The continent's many tribes and forces lived a complicated love-hate relationship, with internal clashes occurring at a natural frequency for a powerful continent like this.

Analyzing the surroundings a little more, Jalgon felt that there was a high probability that the group that had passed by and fought with the worm was the same one he was looking for.

'Such a group shouldn't be able to eliminate a level 120 worm.' He pondered as he evaluated the area thoroughly. 'But that octopus told me that Minos' group is special... Besides, it's not common for such large groups of invaders.

Jalgon sensed that there were over 20 auras who had passed this place minutes ago and somehow fought off the worm. Most of them were 11th stage, but there were a good number of 12th stage beings with the group.

Groups of invaders existed in Uzira, especially at the far end of the continent, in droves. Although the mainland forces persecuted aliens or even unwanted natives of Oqia, some of them survived by dint of their skills or luck.

Some invaders even gathered in groups, but such large teams, so far east of the continent, were not normal. Precisely for this reason, Jalgon suspected that this was Minos' group.

'I'll check them out. According to that octopus, Minos should be a level 112 Sovereign with six wings. If there is someone like that on this team, I'll confirm my doubt before dealing with them.'

Despite his fear of what had caused the worm's death, he wanted more than anything to get the seer who could lead him to Leger!

Following in the tracks of the group that had passed that way, he traveled through the woods for about an hour until he spotted the first of the aliens from Minos' group.

Seeing an individual of only level 114, he became curious as he probed the cave protected by those peak Sovereigns.

The look on his face was naturally strange. How could a group of mere Sovereigns have murdered a powerful Supreme stronger than himself?

He would soon discover the exact numbers of Minos' team, excluding Wenni and Walkas, of course, who were currently inside their coffins and could not be identified as living beings from Jalgon's point of view. Unlike the previous worm, capable of sensing the trail of death from corpses, this hawk-eyed man was incapable of such a thing.

'There's something wrong here... How did this group kill the previous worm?' He was shocked to realize that there was only one level 117 Supreme in the group and all the others were weaker.

However, while checking Wovar's direction, he couldn't help but feel something strange coming from the body of the giant lying in one of the corners of the cave where the group was hiding right now.

'I need to see them in action before I make a decision. Whatever it is, they have a secret that could kill me!'
