The Rise of the Black Plainchapter 413: witnesses!

Boom!

Sounds of battles sounded in the middle of a forest region, as several beasts were hurled against the stone walls of a mountain near that place.

Boom!

The ground was constantly raised into the air, generating a curtain of dust that significantly diminished the visibility of that area in question. And while the smell of earth spread through the outskirts of that area, each of those involved in this fight moved at high speed, attacking and dodging the attacks of their opponents.

At this point, several craters formed in that area, where about 15 biped beasts, covered in fur, were fighting a single person.

Each of these beasts had only one completely blue eye, and their faces were of an orange color. However, the most striking thing about their appearance was the sharp fangs that protruded from their mouths.

That was one of several species of biped beasts present in the north of the Central Continent, One-Eyed Monkey!

Such a breed was recognized for its physical strength and its ability to move beyond usual. And because they are bipeds, these beings could fight in a more human-like way, having more facilities to deviate and even use objects in their favor during fights!

But even if they could use weapons, most of these beasts preferred to fight with their fists and powerful mandibles.

That's because, while they could use typical human weapons, none of them could produce items as good as those made by humans. In contrast, the physical strength of each of these beasts was far greater than that of regional human experts!

Anyway, while some of those individuals who had been hurled against the mountain's surface agonized in pain, the remnants tried to defeat the only human they were fighting.

About an hour ago, this group of biped mountain beasts had felt the presence of humans in their vicinity when they decided to come and end the lives of these unfortunates.

This breed was not known for being calm but rather was famous for its hot-headed individuals, who loved fighting humans and other beasts. And even though all of these individuals were already in the 5th stage of cultivation, that didn't stop them from continuing to be hot-tempered beings...

And hence this present situation had been caused.

But contrary to what these beings expected, instead of destroying these humans and stealing their items, they had encountered enemies far stronger than they could handle.

There were only two humans, but just one of them was enough to put this entire group in danger!

Such a person not only had overwhelming power, comparable to that of a peak Spiritual General, level 49, but she also had challenging techniques that were making each of these bipeds tremble.

This person they were fighting was moving from side to side as ice blades formed in her hands and were launched at high speed like cannonballs!

Every time she did that, sounds of the air being cut came up in that place when soon afterward sad cries came from the direction of those beasts.

Boom!

Suddenly one more of these beasts was attacked when the opponent had gotten close enough to it and hurled an ice blade towards the beast's heart.

"Ahhhhh!" The beast screamed in despair as it was thrown away, already feeling the cold spreading through its body.

It was not only the fact that its heart had been pounded, making that beast scream in agony but also the fact that it felt the burning sensation generated by the ice inside its body!

That was an excruciating pain that could not be ignored, even by beings with powerful, fleshy bodies...

Boom!

Crack!

"Ahhh!" And the moment that beast had slammed its back into that stone wall, its bones had snapped as it coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Miserable human!" One of its screamed in a fury, seeing its companion being brutally attacked by that young woman with blue hair.

Obviously, the two humans in question were Minos and Abby, who had been traveling for two days since they left Wilburg.

After leaving that location, they had quickly reached this forested region, where Abby had managed to advance to level 44 the night before!

And after being surrounded by this group of beasts, Minos soon took this chance to let his girlfriend 'train' with these enemies.

He was naturally not a person who would attack the beasts irrationally during his travels, but this young man wouldn't mind killing them if they want such a thing. And as this group was no stronger than Abby, young Stuart had left this situation to his mate to handle, while he would protect her if need be.

That was a good exercise for Abby, who often had to lose when she fought her companion...

She might not mind these losses, as it was training, and it was for the person she loved, but it wasn't bad to take out the frustration she had on these beasts either!

On the contrary, it was genuinely good to find an enemy she could defeat after a good fight!

And rightfully so, Abby had a smile on her face at the time when one of those remaining bipeds tried to attack her, punching hard in the direction of her face.

"Die!"

But it was futile. With a complete set of Silver-grade techniques, Abby couldn't lose to beasts of her level and from a species with low potential and bloodline power.

Pow!

Puff!

That individual's punch just dissipated when it touched Abby's body, which at the moment was protected by something that looked like a golden membrane.

...

"Ahhhh!"

Finally, after 15 minutes of battling, Abby killed the last beast by creating several ice blades with her new attack technique, Arctic Art.

In the first stage, such a technique could create icy objects as resistant as low-level grade-2 weapons!

Anyway, after doing that, the body of that last standing enemy fell to the ground after a long scream of pain caused by the many blades of ice that had penetrated its body.

"Hah, it's over…" Abby muttered in a low voice as she looked at the ground around her, where many beasts lay, with small pools of blood-forming in those places.

The bodies of these beasts might be valuable to ordinary people, but for individuals like Minos and Abby, it just wasn't worth it for them to waste their time. So, all that the blue-haired girl did after looking and sighing for a moment was burning those corpses.

Beasts could get stronger by devouring other beasts, so it wouldn't be good to leave a bunch of bodies lying around where they were.

That could draw an even larger group to this location, something that was perhaps beyond her and Minos' possibilities.

With that, destroying the evidence was the best alternative for Abby!

And while she was doing this, Minos and this young woman's tiger, who had walked away from the battle site earlier, finally came down from one of the trees in that place.

"Haha, fine, Abby! At this rate…" He was saying something, with an exuberant smile on his face, when suddenly something strange happened and in that place.

Whoop!

Whoop!

Sounds of people struggling became more and more audible as two groups seemed to fight as they ran through the area where the couple was.

More than 15 people in that group were approaching the two, with the minority of whom seemed to be chasing the rest.

Suddenly, a young man with black hair was thrown from the trees of that place until he fell a few meters away from Abby.

"Ahhh!" He screamed in pain as he rolled on the floor of that spot, with his arms hugging his waist, while he felt a cut on his stomach.

He was severely hurt and didn't seem to have any strength to keep fighting.

As this dying young man writhed in front of Abby, a group of people appeared among the trees.

Of those, more than half were fighting each other, while only two people were walking towards that young man.

"Oh? Witnesses!" A young man who had several battle marks on his golden armor exclaimed aloud as he turned to his bodyguard and said. "Kill them!"

Immediately upon hearing this, that individual drew his sword and ran towards Abby, already releasing a blade of air to cut off her head!

"No!" Minos screamed in shock, seeing it happen so suddenly....
