As one of the only three Mythical-rank professionals in the world.
At the moment the Ghost Swordsman of the Beacon Nation, Elfa, made his appearance, one could clearly perceive from him an aura of supreme king far stronger than the other two top powerhouses, the Frost Mage King and the Hell Dragon Knight.
To a certain extent, even at the same level, there can be a significant gap in strength.
Just like the difference between Wolong and Inoue Amano and the others.
Also like Elfa, and Kwon Ji-Hyun, and Restiev.
All being Tier 9 Mythical-rank professionals, Elfa is universally acknowledged as the world's number one strongest, without a doubt.
Moreover, before this, the Beacon Nation had never intervened in the affairs between the Seven Great Nations and the Dragon Nation.
It seemed to be staying away from worldly struggles, yet as if secretly storing up a big move.
Now it appears, the reality clearly leans more toward the latter.
The appearance of the world's three Mythical-rank professionals on the same stage caused an uproar in the livestreams of many streamers who had deliberately gone live to ride the hype.
["The world's three top powerhouses appearing in the same frame, this scene is really rare!"]
["Yeah, I remember the last time we saw this scene was before the calamity."]
["So this time, the Ghost Swordsman of the Beacon Nation and the Frost Mage King of the Cold Nation are joining forces to fight against the Hell Dragon Knight of Bear Nation?"]
["This battle is going to be epic."]
["Tch, the outcome was already known before the calamity. The last time the three great powerhouses fought, wasn't it the same situation? The Ghost Swordsman and the Frost Mage King still couldn't beat the Hell Dragon Knight! I think the Hell Dragon Knight is truly the world's number one strongest. This time's result will be no different."]
["In terms of offensive power, the Ghost Swordsman is number one. The Hell Dragon Knight is only known for defense and counterattacks. As long as you don't hit him, there's no threat to yourself."]
["So isn't that contradictory? Don't you think they're bound to clash now? Clearly, Bear Nation must be dealt with before the Beacon Nation and the Seven Great Nations can invade the Dragon Nation!"]
["The Beacon Nation hasn't shown up for so many years, always secretly building power. I think this time, the Ghost Swordsman must be well-prepared. Elfa never fights a battle he can't win!"]
["Let's see today, among the three world-renowned Mythical-rank professionals, who is the ultimate king! Can the Beacon Nation joining the Seven Great Nations defeat Bear Nation and trample the Dragon Nation? Brothers and sisters in the livestream, hit that red heart and follow, your streamer will take you to reveal the answer!"]

Looking across the field.
The Ghost Swordsman Elfa, the strongest of the Beacon Nation, did not immediately take action upon appearing.
Instead, he spoke to Restiev, "We've been in a standoff for so many years. As one of the few powerhouse nations in the world, you still failed to see the true structure of this world."
"Why insist on assisting a hopeless, dying nation like the Dragon Nation? If you had the same awareness as us, today's world would already be a tripartite balance of power."
Restiev, having already expected Elfa to try to persuade him to surrender, was clearly prepared and responded without hesitation, "You should remember, if not for the Dragon Nation's Asura God holding back the level-nine beast tide alone a hundred years ago, this world would have already been destroyed by the beast tide and ceased to exist."
"Our Bear Nation, including your Beacon Nation, the Cold Nation, and all the countries present today, should all thank the Dragon Nation for the peace we enjoy now."
"In other words, if the Dragon Nation's Asura were still alive, you ungrateful traitors wouldn't even have the chance to act so arrogantly here."
Elfa reversed his blood sword and crossed his arms, saying indifferently, "It was just resisting one wave of level-nine beast tide, and you worship him as a god? In the past, if there was no Dragon Nation's Asura, once the beast tide trampled the Dragon Nation, our Beacon Nation's strong predecessors would have also defeated the beast tide. So what the Dragon Nation saved was only themselves."
"Besides, a hundred years have passed. There's no need to talk about a dead man," Elfa's words sparked public outrage from countless citizens.
["Damn! Elfa, are you even human? You ungrateful, heartless dog, stop misleading people here. The level-nine beast tide from a hundred years ago and today's level-nine beast tide, can those even be compared?"]
["That's like comparing one hundred bucks from a hundred years ago with one hundred bucks today, are their values the same? What absolute bullshit. You Beacon Nation folks are real dogs!"]
Restiev didn't bother arguing this meaningless point with Elfa. He simply planted his spear into the ground, his gaze blazing as he stared at Elfa and Kwon Ji-Hyun, speaking with strength, "One sentence, if you want to invade the Dragon Nation, you'll have to destroy our Bear Nation first."
Kwon Ji-Hyun was furious:, "This bastard is certain that we can't kill him."
Elfa didn't care at all and calmly said, "Since a hundred years ago can't be compared to today, then the situation before the calamity and after the calamity is the same."
Kwon Ji-Hyun, standing to the side, hadn't yet understood Elfa's implication.
Elfa then continued to say to Restiev, "Since you're determined to protect the Dragon Nation, don't blame me for not warning you."
"You should know, I've prepared for today for a whole hundred years."
As he spoke, Elfa clapped his hands.
The next moment—
With a "roar", a skeletal firebird carrying a man in a silver robe descended from the sky, landing directly beside Elfa.
Immediately after, the silver-robed beast tamer from the Beacon Nation, [Kloster], leapt down from the firebird.
He gave Restiev, who stood opposite him, a provocative smile, "Hey, Restiev, long time no see."
At the first glance of this silver-robed beast tamer Kloster, Restiev immediately frowned.
Clearly, Kloster knew Restiev, and Restiev also knew Kloster.
Because Kloster was once the nemesis of his Hell Dragon Knight.
Back then, due to this legendary beast tamer [Demon Realm Wizard] from the Beacon Nation, the whole of Bear Nation was nearly destroyed.
A hundred years ago, Restiev had spent enormous effort just to finally kill Kloster. It was precisely because of this that the Beacon Nation stayed quiet for a century.
Restiev never imagined: Kloster was actually resurrected.
Before the Dragon Nation unearthed seven resurrection God Stones at once from the Gate of Immortality, the world had only ever produced three such stones.
One of them had appeared in the Beacon Nation.
Thus, it appears Elfa used this resurrection God Stone to bring back the [Demon Realm Wizard · Kloster], whom even Restiev found extremely difficult to handle.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Restiev said in a deep voice, "Looks like things just got a little more complicated…"
As he spoke, Restiev glanced at Wolong beside him and said, "Elder Long, next, I'm going to need your help."
