Chapter 16 - Alliance

After the meteor incident that struck the city of Valhem, the system detected an extraordinary power.

A holographic screen appeared in every guild around the world:

[EXTREME THREAT]
[Threat Level: Galaxy]
[Arrival In: 7 Days]
[Recommended Rank: Unknown]
[Location: Drakhil]

The One Guild responded to the warning.

“Ga..ga..galaxy…”

“A threat even the world won’t be ready for,” said Farah.

“We must form an alliance involving the entire world,” said Yosu.

Then, Elena responded.

“An alliance? That’s a good idea, Master.”

“But we only have seven days,” said Elena.

“Don’t worry, Elena. The world will respond.”

“Arrange a meeting involving the whole world,” said Exiel.

Then, Yosu stood and grabbed his sword.

“Set up the meeting immediately.”

“We don’t have much time,” said Yosu.

Meanwhile…

Syura was fishing by the riverside—a small river, but with crystal-clear water.

“Clear skies. Good for fishing.”

Suddenly, a holographic notification appeared in front of Syura’s face.

[EXTREME THREAT]
[Threat Level: Galaxy]
[Arrival In: 7 Days]
[Recommended Rank: Unknown]
[Location: Drakhil]

Syura just smiled as he cast his bait.

“So, he’s finally starting to move.”

“Seven days? That’s more than enough.”

Back at the guild...

Elena delivered a message through the system, relayed to all the guilds around the world.

[EMERGENCY MESSAGE]
[World Guild Summit]
[Main Mission: Galaxy-Level Threat]
[Meeting Location: Crazon]
[Time: 2 Days From Now]

Simultaneously, holographic panels appeared across every guild in the world.

Back to Syura...

Syura, still sitting and fishing calmly by the riverside.

“I better prepare… to face him.”

Syura stood and activated a skill:

[Infinite Castle]

A portal appeared, black and blue in color, surrounded by red lightning.

“Even the enemies inside are more savage.”

“All the enemies are beyond Rank N.”

“One day inside this portal equals one year in the outside world,” said Syura.

He stepped inside and vanished without a trace.

One day before the summit...

The guild was bustling, preparing for the journey to Crazon.

“They’ll be arriving shortly.”

“The Three Pillars, Three Hearts, Three Powers, and Three Lines of Fate.”

“They are the strongest in our guild—even in the world,” said Yosu.

Meanwhile, Elena was preparing documents for the summit.

“They’re returning?”

“It’s time they reappeared,” said Elena.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the guild shifted completely.

The left side turned icy cold.

The right side burst into heat like a blazing fire.

And in the center, thunder struck down, cracking the guild floor.

At that very moment...

"Whoooosh" —three figures appeared, just as Yosu had mentioned.

“Welcome back…”

Gion, Sisca, Victor,” said Yosu.

Gion wore all red, with a blazing aura like fire, wielding a sword engraved with dragons.

Sisca wore a glowing blue dress, her aura freezing the floor beneath her, holding a mage’s staff.

Victor wore yellow armor with golden accents, emitting an electric yellow aura. He fought with bare hands.

Then…

“What’s the issue, Master?”

“To call all three of us like this,” asked Victor.

“Is it an emergency, Master?” asked Sisca.

Yosu stood before them.

“Prepare yourselves. We are heading to Crazon.”

“The fate of the world lies in your hands,” said Yosu.

“The world? We don’t understand, Master,” said Gion.

Then...

“A Galaxy-level threat has emerged.”

“A threat that will destroy the world.”

“Get ready. I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow.”

Gion, Sisca, and Victor remained silent—but not out of fear. Their auras flared so intensely that everyone in the guild trembled.

Meanwhile…

Syura was fighting monsters—whose levels couldn’t even be identified.

“I don’t know what level they are.”

“But they’re incredibly strong,” said Syura.

He kept fighting and training nonstop inside the portal.

“I will defeat you all.”

“Wait for me,” said Syura, with a massive, explosive aura and eyes glowing brightly.
