Nergas Continent

• The Nergas continent is a land of the law of the jungle where strength and honor are held as the highest values.

• It is a culture where one is recognized solely by skill rather than status or lineage, where the strong are respected and the weak naturally fall behind.

• As wars and duels are constant, exceptional knights and mages are born continuously, and winning fame and wealth through one's own power is considered the greatest glory.

---

Five Lords

• At the apex of the Nergas continent exist the Five Lords. Each of them is an absolute ruler who commands their own massive force and governs independent territories.

• They are beings who sometimes cooperate and sometimes clash with the Emperor, possessing enough influence to sway an entire empire.

• Each Lord maintains direct executives and elite forces, boasting a status that makes other nations and factions tense at the mere mention of their names.

'Iron Fortress' Belhorn vs 'Apostle of Eternity' Kaliel

A legendary battle where 'Iron Fortress' Belhorn, who intended to invade the Lumiel continent, fought the strongest of Lumiel, the 1st Apostle of the Throne, 'Apostle of Eternity' Kaliel, who fought to stop the invasion.

Belhorn withstood Kaliel's massive cross attacks and holy strikes head-on with his overwhelming physical ability and defense, while Kaliel endured Belhorn's attacks using his giant cross and healing magic.

The battle did not end in a single day. While both took every attack the other threw, they ultimately could not establish a decisive advantage, and both eventually stopped the fight, judging it impossible to strike the other down.

There was no victor.

However, through this battle, the two came to recognize each other as one of the strongest representing their respective continents, and the battle between Belhorn and Kaliel has since been passed down as a legendary anecdote in both continents.

'Iron Fortress' Belhorn vs 'Phantasmal Moon' Lumilla

Before the Five Lords system of the Nergas continent was established, the 5th Lord 'Phantasmal Moon' Lumilla challenged Belhorn to take the position of 1st Lord.

Lumilla pushed Belhorn many times with her unconventional whip-based combat, but she ultimately failed to break through Belhorn's overwhelming defense and powerful strikes.

They fought several times, but the result was always the same.

Belhorn's victory.

Eventually, Lumilla gave up on the position of 1st Lord and accepted the position of 5th Lord, and Belhorn also acknowledged her strength.

Since then, the two have become rivals who recognize each other as top-tier powerhouses in the Nergas continent.

'Iron Fortress'

• A massive stronghold located in northern Nergas and the residence of the 1st of the Five Lords, Belhorn Granitz.

• Surrounded by giant walls and numerous defensive facilities, it is known that even the gates are difficult to breach with the attacks of most powerhouses. After Belhorn settled here, his alias 'Iron Fortress' became the name of the castle.

• Currently, Belhorn and his disciple Adra reside and live here, and the interior is equipped with a large training ground, armory, and various facilities for combat.

• It is a notorious place in the Nergas continent, to the point where it is said that "Attacking the Iron Fortress is equivalent to challenging Belhorn himself."
