During the arrival of the abyss through the dimensional wall 100 years ago it was different.
It was speculated by a large number of scholars that the number of ancient beasts and mythical beasts had decreased in great numbers.
Thanks to the resilience of the Star Empire the number of survival wars decreased over time.
The only bad thing that happened after a long peace was the increase of conflicts between Empires and Kingdoms diminishing the strength of the Thunder Continent.
With the arrival of the abyss, the first family to react was Duke Flower's family.
The Red Fortress was the first line of defense that divided the northern barren lands of the Thunder Continent with the different Empires and Kingdoms.
During the establishment of the defense line, countless beastly creatures controlled by the aura of the abyss gave their all, humans, orcs, elves, elves, sea clan, dragon clan, beasts, even titans, and the only three people at that time in the rank of God...
This super defense line known as the 'Star Frontier', in honor of the ancient human Empire that had fallen in the first defense war of the intelligent races became famous.
Countless warriors came from all over the Thunder Continent to achieve fame and fortune. At the end of the war, the three powers in the rank of God by blood aura fell into the dimensional node to repair the dimensional channel a little.
The defense line built by all races with all available resources for decades was fully established and the abyss was completely blocked and the races that had prepared for a long time began to develop.
Large-scale military force and major-related industries, accompanied by batches of young and brave lives to the line of defense defended against the sporadic attacks of the abyss.
Mechanics and alchemy began to develop rapidly during this time, warriors stationed on the border will always devote everything to this super line of defense because they have no turning back.
Even the nine-star level forbidden spells began to bless the walls, fortresses, and enchantments of the border, finally blocking several large-scale attacks from the abyss.
The only drawback was that the abyss quickly realized that they could not bring down the line of defense so they began to infiltrate the continent through people who had fallen into a dark faith.

From the information Eclipse managed to find, one group, in particular, stood out that could help Aldrich awaken his blood aura.
The stigma of a sword-shaped god was on the back of his hand.
These people were often seen on battlefields.
Followers of Romeus.
God of swords, a secondary god who had less than a thousand years of history.
Pilgrims who wandered with a sword on the borderline.
The first person to be called by that title belonged to a family that was destroyed during the wars against ancient and mythical beasts during the fall of the Star Empire.
The God of the Sword was a title inherited every two hundred years by the strongest person in the whole group of sword worshippers.
All previous Sword Gods die in war, always against mythical beasts, and since the coming of the abyss, the current Sword God is preparing directly for a raid on the stellar frontier.
Being a group with great history and this group was possible to help Raimon find a way to awaken Aldrich's blood aura in the future.

Inside Star Fortress City.
"Sword Crazy".
A boy who had been rummaging through the bodies quickly threw a stone.
It flew in a long parabolic arc, but the stone thrown with the power of a child fell helplessly at the pilgrim's feet.
"Get out of here, swordsman!"
Hunger and poverty caused by the constant war on the borderline inherited its violence.
Resentful looks that had no choice but to blame someone else for survival turned to the Pilgrim.
The children's faces were furious with scowls of hatred, but their wavering legs were terrified.
The children shuddered as those indifferent gray eyes looked at them.
"This war happened because of you crazy people, if it wasn't for your leader attempting a raid our parents wouldn't be drafted!"
"Yes that's right, get out of here!"
"It's all because of you!"
The pilgrims were devotees of swordsmanship, who worshiped only swords and the heir to the title of the God Romeus.
Only one thing mattered to them.
The divine power of swords grants death.
"We don't have a body to offer to someone like you!!!"
"Fuck you right now!!!"
The sword pilgrims had a very special power.
They are priests who worked by turning the corpses of the dead into swords.
That's what it meant to be a sword pilgrim.
They used the little blood aura on the bodies of dead warriors and knights to transform them into swords using alchemy.
"You turned people into swords and this is what happened!"
That's why many people were afraid and resentful of them.
Although they helped many warriors by giving them strong swords that saved many people's lives. Raimon would find that if anyone asked for their help they would have to suffer a lot.
This world was not as fanciful as Raimon imagined, but it was something he would find out the hard way in the not too distant future.
At the end of Eclipse's explanation, Raimon prepared for his lesson with Duchess Dalia quickly with the help of Reineza and let the lazy Eclipse sleep some more.
