#250
As expected, as soon as the recorded video was sent to the entire empire in Elix, the federation was flooded with inquiries and contacts. Of course, the process of sending the video to the entire empire was not easy. In Elix, there were many empires that kept their walls shut and kept quiet about the outside world.
Their contact ended with Fan receiving information from Bill Will and contacting him in full charge.
[I came to visit you from your place again today, bro. He says he wants to join the federation.]
“Jaeyoung, can you possibly bring everyone? If possible, sign the contract all at once.”
[okay. I will take charge of everything and take you to my brother’s empire.]
Behind Lee Jae-young in the communicator video, people presumed to be monsters were sitting in a large room, glancing in this direction. These were the kings of other monster empires who had contacted Lee Jae-young.
Surprisingly, the number of insect and monster empires that contacted Lee Jae-young was significant. To borrow Lee Jae-young’s words, he knew that he had to join the alliance, but he was afraid that the insect tribe and the monster tribe would not accept him because they were creepy.
In the meantime, Jaeyoung Lee asked to contact them, so it must have felt like they had some breathing room.
The number of empires of the insect tribe and monster tribe contacted through Jaeyoung Lee was 28 countries. In terms of sheer combat power, the monster tribes possessed a military power comparable to that of higher-ranking empires.
Of course, the rankings were usually low due to the neglect of other aspects of politics, order, and diplomacy, but in terms of combat power alone, they were said to be quite superior. From the federation’s perspective, their joining was bound to be good news.
And now, a week after the recorded video was sent, the number of alliances had increased rapidly, with 1,500 empires united. Considering that it would increase further in the future, there was a possibility that more than 2,000 empires could gather.
[Brother, I will be leaving soon, so just wait a moment.]
“Jaeyoung, don’t forget to tell me about the vassal state.”
[Uh, I understand. I’ll hang up, bro.]
As soon as the communication with Lee Jae-young ended, Se-hyeon immediately stood up. Ruhak, Euncheong, and the heroes were waiting in front of the door. After that, the knights, Kwak Jeong-han, and Aul also appeared.
Everyone had a look of determination in their eyes. The mock battle started today. It was also the day to learn the fear immunity skill that Baek Do-hyun mentioned. Numerous airships were also anchored on the air route, waiting for Sehyun.
“let’s go.”
As I walked out the door, I saw a sky full of people. They were vassals of the empire who came to participate in a mock battle. The sight of the Celestials, Birds of Prey, and other flying races roaming the sky as if they were at home and warming up was full of energy.
“Everyone, don’t think it’s a mock battle. Be prepared to kill. “Do not kill vassals who you think will not be resurrected.”
“Yes, Rod.”
Just because it was a mock-up, I had no intention of just roughly matching the assortment. Even if the damage was great, Sehyun was going to bear all of it.
“It looks like everything is ready.”
Beyond the Imperial Gateway. There was a huge piece of iceberg there. It was so huge that the countless airships floating in the sky looked like dots, and it was a work created by Ryoma and other empires that could use ice systems.
Of course, the order to create icebergs had a certain meaning.
“Everyone be careful.”
Just before boarding the airship, Sehyun looked back at the heroes and knights and said. Everyone left their seats with a last smile and moved to find their own seats.
The airships anchored on Gonghang-ro took off one by one towards the simulated battle site. I watched the scene endlessly for a while, and when I realized that only two people, Sehyun and Ruhak, were left on Gonghangro.
“Ruhak, you should go too.”
Was it this big? Perhaps because Ruhak looked particularly large today, the gaze looking up felt particularly high. Sehyeon looked at Ruhak for a long time and then asked with an insincere smile.
“I guess I’m small for a Black Heavenly Clan. Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen any vassals smaller than me… . “When you were 18, you were taller than me.”
“Even for a Heavenly Jin tribe, it’s relatively small.”
Ruhak’s hand grazed Sehyeon’s cheek and headed toward the nape of her neck. I felt myself holding my messy blonde hair between my fingertips and gently rubbing it.
“Let me be clear: my height was above average for where I lived. “You guys are too big.”
“I see.”
Ruhak just laughed. It was a silent smile. He somehow seemed like he didn’t believe it. After all, among all the men over 190cm, there was a 178cm tall person, so there was no way I could trust a single word he said.
“I will believe you.”
A hand dug through her hair pressed the back of her neck and pulled Sehyeon towards her. The place where he was taken was in Ruhak’s arms. Ruhak took in the warmth for a moment.
The princes had an iron rule that they should not look at ‘Beusbrihel’ until the last day. It was a life-threatening restriction. However, as confirmed through Bill Will, we found that restrictions do not apply to ‘things’ that are not real.
This mock match was all prepared with this in mind.
“I have no intention of doing it in moderation, so just know that.”
Ruhak gradually walked away with soft words. The sight of it spreading its huge wings and flying into the sky was vividly engraved in the field of view. The place he was heading was beyond the gateway where the iceberg was.
Sehyeon, who was watching this quietly, suddenly heard someone talking.
“Aren’t you riding? Let’s ride a little bit now, shall we?”
Sehyun’s gaze glanced back. There, Baek Do-hyeon, with a sour expression, was standing crookedly in front of the entrance of the airship with his arms crossed. He glanced up and down as if to say that he would not pay attention.
“Yes, I’m going. song.”
Sehyeon boarded the one remaining airship along the way. In addition to Baek Do-hyeon, the cabin of the airship was also accompanied by Lord Li Jeong of the Shadow Empire, Lord Hume of the Iron Palace Empire, and Lord Ryoma of the Snow Tiger Empire.
“Oh, isn’t the Monster Empire coming?”
“Jaeyoung says he might be a little late. “If we do it first, they will come and join us.”
As soon as the doorway closed, the airship increased altitude. The front window, which projected the outside view, showed troops divided into two teams.
One side showed the iceberg as the center, and the other side was concentrated on the opposite side, as if opposing the iceberg. The sight of an army consisting of tens of thousands of men filling the ground and sky was truly a breathtaking sight.
Among them, Sehyeon’s airship went to the place where the iceberg was.
“I have no idea how much they’ll bark from over there.”
Hume’s murmur was a lament of its own. It was also his ambition.
Currently, the empires in the top 10 were separated into two teams and facing off, with the distance widening. Those divided into Sehyeon’s side were a total of five, including Baek Do-hyeon, Ri Jeong, Hume, and Ryoma, and the empire boarding the airship on the other side included Huen, Baluk, Theo, Tyra, and Lee Jae-young, who had not yet arrived.
Hume was betting that his team would win here, but if we look at the empire’s compatibility, it was Sehyeon who was at a disadvantage.
It’s a situation where there are magic weapons and defense skills.
“Baek Do-hyun, please tell me when you’re ready.”
The mock battle was a battle with casualties, but no casualties. It was not the players who were sacrificed, but their vassals.
I knew it was a cruel method. He also recognized that it was not a useful means. Nevertheless, the reason I did this was because I judged that there was no other way to increase my power.
“Let’s get started.”
At Baek Do-hyeon’s words, everyone held their breath and took a step away from him. A black air current stretched out from Baek Do-hyeon’s body like a net and filled the surroundings. The darkness was so thick that even light could not be projected.
The moment darkness covered the airship, the world turned pitch black as if there had been a lunar eclipse. The world beyond the front window of the airship was also stained black as if it had been drowned in ink.
The darkness encompassed the entire area where the mock battle took place. In the darkness, Sehyeon saw something wriggling as if it were a fetus.
This was where the iceberg was. Instead of the iceberg disappearing as if evaporating, there was something dark with its back bent and its head bowed.
It was bigger than the tallest mountain of Elix, deeper than the sea, and darker than the deep sea. Dry saliva got stuck in my throat and I couldn’t get it down. The moment the huge bent back twitched, it straightened its bent body and slowly stood up, as if a tightly tied string was released.
The dark shadow seemed to be swallowing the world. When it fully raised its head and straightened its bent body, Sehyeon found herself trembling.
It was ‘Beusbrihel’ that was born in the womb. Ethan Jong, who had swallowed his resentment, appeared in front of everyone with a ferocious force and appearance.

It was horribly vivid and eerily realistic. That face, seething with resentment, was so hideous that it made one shiver. It was a terrible cry that woke up the extremely quiet world.
[Kkissssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!]
“evil… !”
Pain shot through my brain. Even though it wasn’t real, the pain felt real. Sehyun’s knee buckled and he stumbled. His fear blurred his vision and the light spread in all directions. It wasn’t just Sehyun, but screams were heard from all over the place.
My vision was restored when the terrible ringing sound disappeared. From that point on, my blocked breathing gradually began to clear up.
[‘Fear Block LV.6’ is being cast.]
“haha… . Everyone, come to your senses.”
Next to me, someone was lying down on the floor and gagging. Baek Do-hyun was the only one standing still in this chaos.
The ‘Beusbrihel’ that appeared in the black world was an illusion created by Baek Do-hyeon with his mental perception skill. However, because he used icebergs as a medium, his perception was realistic.
Baek Do-hyun’s mental sensing skill was like that. Even illusions can be made real.
Kiiiiii-
Along with the sound of scraping on the iron door, ‘Beusbrihel’s’ long arms were lifted into the air. Most of the empire had not yet recovered from the fear, so there was no movement after seeing this.
