Chapter 1036 The Hidden Alliance
1 Week Later...
In a frigid, a breathtaking spectacle unfolded before the eyes of any who beheld it.
An unbelievable sight came to be in a cold region with a massive tree made of crystalline ice that was touching the sky with its whooping 3-kilometer tall height and 1-kilometer radius.
Thousands of massive boulders made of permafrost were rotating around this ginormous tree and the air was filled with snow, casting shimmering reflections in the icy air.
The air was chilled to the point where one would get a frostbite just by breathing it.
Rumble!
Whoosh!
Amidst this frozen tableau, a sudden disturbance ruptured the serene landscape. With a deafening rumble and a rushing whoosh, a grandiose black castle materialized into existence, its imposing form dominating the horizon.
This 5-kilometer wide and 1-kilometer tall black castle appeared just 3 kilometers away.
Encircled by a reddish barrier, the fortress hovered ominously in the sky, radiating an aura of formidable strength and power. Without entering the frost zone, the castle that was housing thousands of warriors and 8 saints shook the surroundings with its imposing aura.
Finally, the red film of barrier-like formation that surrounded the Bran Castle waned on its own, and the gates of this mighty fortress-like castle were opened.
Woosh!
"We're here. They should have learned of our arrival now." spoke Argos Belmont, the Vampire King.
Kahn and Lucian along with the other 4 saint vampires who served Argos looked at the unfathomable creation of nature in front of them.
"What's up with that tree? It looks like it's made of ice but why do I feel like something is different about it; something incomprehensible." said Lucian Varangis, the most loyal retainer of the Revenant Sovereign.
"That's no normal ice. I can feel the Law from it..." said Vildred, the Royal Dragon in his humanoid form.
"What law?" asked the golden-haired vampire.
However, it was Kahn who replied in a stern voice and a serious expression.
"The Space Law."
Not only Lucian but the other vampire saints were also taken aback.
It was their first time coming to the Empire of Space, so they had no means to sense or detect the Space Law.
Only Kahn, who practiced the Space Law himself, Vildred, who was one of the most skilled and knowledgeable Magicians in the world and Argos, a Sovereign of Vantrea, were able to detect it at first glance.
"That tree isn't actually a tree and neither it is made from ice.
It's actually... a Dimensional Tower." declared the silver-haired vampire.
"Let me guess... it's similar to those cracks in space that lead you somewhere else by creating a direct passage between dimensions and space." said Vildred.
"Correct. Although you're a Royal Dragon... You seem to have explored the outside world beyond the Dragon Empire." spoke Argos.
Even at this point, Argos had no idea that Vildred was a Sage and the previous Dragon Emperor.
To him, he was just a Royal Dragon akin to a pilgrim on a sabbatical.
"Something like that." responded Vildred casually while showing an anticipating expression on his face, trying to study the operational mechanics of this astronomical-sized tree.
Right then, Argos spoke with a confident smile...
"They're here."
Crack!
Crack!
The Bran Castle was left behind as Argos and his entourage boarded the ship.
Soon, the flock of flying ships turned around and entered through the pathway steadily.
"You practice the Space Law, right?" asked Hideyoshi.
"Yes, the 3rd enlightenment," responded Kahn.
"Can't help but say that I'm jealous of your talent. I'm only a fire elemental swordsman.
Even among my children, no one has even achieved the 2nd enlightenment.
Even our Hero of Space has been struggling to get past the 2nd enlightenment." revealed the emperor casually, divulging secret information so easily for some reason.
"Well... he'll get there some day." spoke Kahn.
Obviously, he couldn't tell the Emperor that he achieved that 3rd enlightenment with the help of a literal Linchpin of the Multiverse within the Chamber of Exaltation that was inside the Tablet of Arcana, one of the six creations left by Demi-Gods.
It wasn't that he wasn't exceptional... just that he had the best help in the world to achieve the 3rd enlightenment.
Soon, the surroundings of these flying ships were covered in a blueish barrier, shaped like beehives while completely encircling them.
"Entering the Hyperspace." announced the pilot of the ship.
Swoosh!
Shing!
As if turning into a ray of light, all the ships suddenly flew at hyperspeed.
[This... is just like the Hyperdrive from those Star Wars movies.
The Empire of Space can use something like that?] wondered Kahn, completely gobsmacked.
It had barely been 3 minutes and the captain of the ship made another announcement...
"Reaching destination in 3... 2... 1!"
Rumble!!
As if space itself was torn, a void crack appeared in a vast mountain valley and the entourage of the flying ships came out of them.
A mountain filled with lush greenery and bamboo shoots. This mountain was filled with natural waterfalls and rich wildlife.
At the peak of the mountain, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, stood the imposing Dobei castle. Its grandeur and size were unparalleled, stretching for a kilometer and featuring multiple layers of intricate architecture. The castle's walls boasted a pristine white and golden color, shimmering under the sunlight and commanding attention from afar. It was a fortress that symbolized strength and protection, capable of accommodating a vast number of warriors during times of conflict.
As one approached the castle, they would notice the meticulous carvings and designs adorning its structure. These engravings depicted monsters, deities, and divine beings that were unfamiliar to the inhabitants of Vantrea, giving an air of mystery and enchantment to the fortress.
Guarding the castle were hundreds of warriors, armed with spears and swords, positioned strategically throughout the fortress.
Among them, two formidable 3rd-stage saints stood out, their presence exuding power and authority. The warriors hailed from various backgrounds, with only a third of them being humans. The rest displayed distinct characteristics reminiscent of demons, showcasing a diverse array of skin colors, shapes, and sizes.
"So this is the Erdve Empire that serves the God of Space, Raum?" asked Kahn.
Obviously, he noticed the architecture from Earth because of his past as a fan of the japanese culture as Elric.
But all he could do was ask himself at this moment...
"Who the hell created this empire?"
The very next moment...
"The one you're here to meet... My great ancestor. He was also..."
Sakamoto Hideyoshi, the Emperor of the Erdve Empire, ended his curiosity as he declared...
"The 6th Hero of Space."
