“Let me explain briefly. The goddess who has now become the tower has exhausted most of her power as she has been serving as the center of the barrier for a long time. The darkness of ‘Beusbrihel’ penetrated through the weakened gap and became polluted. Pollution has been going on for a very long time, and it can be said that it started for four months during my generation. Of course, I cannot say that there were no external factors at all.”
Sehyun said while looking at Tyra, Theo, and Hume. They also nodded with heavy expressions, as if they acknowledged it.
“Everyone is probably aware of external factors. It was a plan to permanently strengthen the barrier attempted by the now disintegrated White Coat League. Of course, it ended in failure. As a result, something went wrong with the barrier, which probably accelerated the goddess’ contamination.”
“That’s why we went directly into the goddess’ cognitive world and tried to persuade her. In the end, she was successful in persuading the goddess, but the goddess, who lacked the power to maintain her barrier, finally completed the attack on her tower at her own discretion and gave that power to her guides. And the deadline is three months, as the guides said. “That was the last power her goddess had.”
It was Fan who added Sehyeon’s words. As he said, the barrier obtained by completing the six floors lasted only three months. That’s how much the goddess’s power was lacking.
The reason the goddess was able to complete the tower’s strategy was probably because the cognitive world that the goddess embodied was an actual ‘dungeon’ connected to the tower. There was no other way to explain it.
The tower was a goddess. Even if it was possible to escape from the goddess’ world of perception, the tower probably would not have been able to function properly after that.
The child I met in that place that resonated no longer had the strength to do so.
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen Baek Do-hyeon’s embodied world.”
“There is no need to look. “It wasn’t a very nice sight.”
Baek Do-hyeon quickly responded to Baluk’s words. Judging from his expression, it seemed like he really didn’t want to reveal it. Sehyun rested her chin and looked at Baek Dohyun, and when her eyes met, she smiled calmly.
“So what are the skills you gained, Mr. Baek Do-hyeon?”
“Should I say that?”
“Read the contract and come back. “It will be clearly stated there.”
The dependent country must reveal its skills to the suzerain country. That was one of the provisions in the contract. There was nothing I could do about this part. Because it was the information needed to make a plan.
Baek Do-hyun made an annoyed expression and only belatedly clicked his tongue and opened his mouth.
“I only gained one dominance sensitivity skill.”
“Yes, then Mr. Baek Do-hyun, I will have a private talk with you before you leave, and for now we will move on to the main topic.”
“Now that we all know why the date has been brought forward, we need to decide what to do for those three months. Who will speak first?”
“I will speak first.”
It was Theo, who was frowning with his arms crossed, who raised his hand in response to Li Jeong’s words, which smiled brightly. Although Theo had a strange personality, he was an honest man who kept what he said.
A person’s personality or individuality was also directly related to their characteristics. It should be said that his steadfast personality also played a role in winning the title of the Protectorate Empire.
“I have established a separate alliance within Elix with the empire that can use different protection skills. Among them, some are already part of the Chuun Alliance. I will train them. “I will build a solid defensive wall that can block enemy attacks so that no one dies.”
“There are still many people within Ellix who have not joined the alliance and are acting individually. “Do you have anything to say to them?”
“I am someone who always keeps my words. If there is anyone who is facing their own limitations or has even the slightest use of protection skills, please contact me. I came to this place after breaking through many walls. There was a time when I faced my limits, and there were times when I wanted to collapse. Therefore, I know the weaknesses and strengths of protection skills better than anyone else. I will help you with all your worries. So don’t hesitate and come see me. “I can definitely be your strength.”
A heartfelt voice floated around calmly and with determination. When Theo finished speaking, the gazes of everyone in the throne room had changed.
“It looks like the Protectorate Empire is really gnashing its teeth, so I’ll make a pledge too. The Shadow Empire, hereinafter referred to as Zaurka, will focus on supporting the training of vassals as well as providing material support to empires that are still at the bottom of the tower. And if the assassin or thief empires wish, we will open their country’s characteristic skills and provide guidance to help them acquire these skills. “It seems like a pretty good pledge, but I would like to ask for more contact from surrounding empires.”
Li Jeong finished her sentence with a cool smile. Of course, she cast everyone’s surprised glances at Li Jeong. Helping people open and learn the unique skills of that empire was the same as telling them the secret secrets of the empire.
In fact, as long as the compatibility was right, there was no need to learn skills from other empires. The problem was that most of them were not open and treated in a closed manner. Lee Jeong was saying that he would now give up his special move.
“and… “If you go there, what’s going on?”
“Haha, is there anything about the Monster Empire?”
“Isn’t it okay because all I want to do is eat? And insects and monsters have a strong exclusive tendency, so they prefer to move alone. “I am the only monster that has joined the alliance.”
“But you still don’t know, right? Come on, let’s not do that and make a pledge for the Monster Empire as well.”
“Ah, why bother when it won’t happen anyway… . Oh, I don’t know, but Zenka has good eyesight, so if you want to quickly improve the ranks of your vassals, please contact me. I will tell you about vassals who can grow quickly based on their potential. “Only insects and monsters.”
Jaeyoung Lee said that and turned his head. Sehyeon watched the scene with a smile. However, when I realized that all eyes were focused on me, I glanced around. Everyone was secretly asking what you had.
“Do you have anything?”
“Me? “I don’t have any?”
“… “No?”
“I’m going to take a break this time. Think about every ball you’ve ever played. I think our heroes have ten bodies. Now that everyone is at their own level, let’s move on to growing individually. I need to raise all skill levels first. “I also need to raise my anti-aircraft level.”
For the remaining three months, Sehyeon planned to significantly grow Ruhak and the heroes who had risen to the main level. Sehyeon’s goal was to at least raise all current heroes to ‘legendary level’ like Euncheong.
In short, it meant that I was in no position to help others.
“Is there anything wrong with that? “I think you should give at least as much as you received from me.”
“Of course there is.”
“Then let’s listen. Please prepare Baek Do-hyun and Baluk as well. “I have particularly high expectations for these two people.”
When they said that with a shameless smile, Baek Do-hyeon and Baluk’s expressions became mysterious. Be that as it may, Sehyeon listened to the words of Fan, who had strong aspirations.
“The Engineering Empire plans to lend its greatest product, the supersonic bombing airship, free of charge to all empires that join the Choun Alliance. However, in the mock battle, I am concerned about damage to the airship, so I am planning to rent a regular non-explosive airship. So, it is in ‘actual combat’ that ultrasonic bombing airships are deployed.”
“You’re renting out all the ultrasonic ranges?”
“I see. Currently, about 300 units are prepared in hangars in our country. Haha, if I may be a bit condescending, I almost died making it. Well, the rental of the airship is free, but it is difficult to supply the fuel for the L-class magic stones that will go into it, so each empire must provide it. “We will lend supersonic airships to those who bring fuel.”
Everyone’s mouths slightly opened. The news that they have built 300 ultra-sonic airships is also great, and they are also being loaned out for free.
It was a great condition for a gift from an engineering empire that was not afraid of its own losses. If nothing else, the entire empire really could have contacted the Chun Alliance to get one of these airships.
Moreover, Fan was now cleverly stimulating compensation psychology with ultra-sonic bombing. For example, if you want to have a supersonic explosion airship, prepare the ‘L-class magic stone’ corresponding to the fuel.
Since L-class magic stones usually only come out on the 80th floor or higher, it was essentially a matter of becoming strong enough to aim for the 80th floor. Of course, it would be possible to obtain it through trading, but as soon as Fan’s words became known, the supply of L-class magic stones was sure to hit the bottom.
Sehyeon had already traded a large amount of L-class magic stones to the Magic Empire, so there was not much in stock. Therefore, Fan’s words were like telling us to get it on our own. It was a statement that contained both carrots and sticks.
Sehyeon looked at Fan, who was smiling meaningfully, then sighed and looked away. To Baek Do-hyeon and Baluk.
“Would you like to do Baek Do-hyun first or Baluk first?”
“… “I will do it first.”
Baek Do-hyun opened his mouth after a long sigh. He was pressing his narrowed eyebrows, making him look rather tired.
“The ruling empire will assist with training in mock battles. “We will also cooperate in acquiring fear immunity skills that can be used against ‘Beusbrihel’ and in creating an environment where mock battles can be trained as if they were real battles.”
The aftermath of Baek Do-hyun’s remarks was enormous. Those who had not yet acquired the <Fear Block> skill turned to look at Baek Do-hyeon enough to make noise. My eyes were wide and I was asking if that was really possible.
