Fantasy Family Simulator (FFS)

"No wonder this crisis was resolved smoothly.

No, in the simulation, perhaps this couldn't even be considered a crisis.

It was destined to be overcome," Rhett thought to himself.

"Hahaha!" Somjet felt the earth-shattering changes within his body, the surging Battle Energy flowing freely at his will, and he burst into laughter.

This breakthrough commotion was far more attention-grabbing than the previous fight.

After all, a promotion from Earth Knight to Sky Knight had a significant impact on the battlefield situation in the Gorge Defense Line! Such a powerful surge in energy filled the human forces with cheer and renewed vigor.

On the other hand, the beastmen, witnessing the blazing pillar of Battle Energy, felt an oppressive weight on their hearts, like a mountain had suddenly landed on their backs.

The three Nightcatmen, who had just been battling Somjet, were now being blown away by the violent gust of wind. Even the residual shockwaves of the Battle Energy were enough to suffocate them!

Now, looking at Somjet, the Sky Knight bathed in a cyan glow, their eyes were filled with terror.

Why? Why did this human break through to Sky Knight at this moment?!

They knew all too well the gap between mid-level and high-level—there was no way they could match him!

Their minds were no longer focused on fighting; instead, a single thought took over—run!

Immediately, the three Nightcatmen turned and fled in three different directions.

But for Somjet, who had successfully ascended to Sky Knight, his entire mental state had transformed.

Not only was he elated by the change in his strength and status, but he also knew that he was now one step closer to his freedom!

Once he became a ninth-rank knight, he would have the freedom to choose whether to remain on the battlefield or leave!

The road ahead might be long, but for now, he had taken a significant step forward! Looking at the three fleeing Nightcatmen, a cruel smile appeared on his lips. Faced with the enemies who had nearly snatched away his life and dreams, he had no intention of showing mercy.

Somjet licked his lips, his gaze cold and merciless, and muttered to himself, "Run? How about I send you all to the underworld instead..."

In the next instant, his figure vanished from where he stood.

Rhett, who had been closely observing, almost thought his eyes were deceiving him.

"Meow!" "Meow!" "Meow!"

Then, three simultaneous, shrill screams echoed through the air, long and piercing.

Somjet's speed was simply too fast. As a Sky Knight of the Wind Element, his movements were nearly impossible to track, and it took him only a few seconds to effortlessly eliminate all three Nightcatmen!

Rhett, who had been watching, couldn't help but marvel at such power.

He exchanged a glance with Amadeo, both of their eyes filled with relief, and they prepared to step forward to express their gratitude.

But just then, a booming voice echoed from afar, "Somjet, report to the beastmen's main camp immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Rhett paused mid-step.

He recognized the voice immediately—it was none other than the commander of the Gorge Defense Line, Avalon's voice.

Rhett's thoughts whirled, "It seems Avalon noticed Somjet's breakthrough. Summoning him to the main camp must mean there's already a plan in place to strike the beastmen's rear positions!"

"Divine Light Healing!" Amadeo, who was examining the tattered robe on his chest, as well as the wound that had almost healed from his previous healing spell, quickly cast another healing spell.

His chest wound immediately closed, leaving no visible scar! Then, seeing that Somjet had left, Amadeo turned his attention back to the ongoing battle, rushing to other areas where he could find heavily wounded comrades and casting healing spells.

Or, he unleashed "Holy Light Blade" to attack the beastmen from a distance!

Rhett also glanced at the area where Somjet had just fought the three Nightcatmen, shook his head, and swiftly returned to the fray.

At this point.

As the battle grew more intense, the Phantom Venomous Snakemen, who had initially remained hidden, now entered the battlefield, spraying venom wildly, targeting the clusters of human soldiers positioned further back.

Though their numbers were only around two to three hundred, if their venom splashed onto a soldier's face, eyes, or through a crack in their armor, it would quickly cause hallucinations.

A few Earth Knights could react swiftly, but most of those poisoned ended up as bloody corpses, crushed by the heavy blows of the nearby Minotaurs or Boarmen.

"Hurry! Wind Mages, cast Wind Wall!" someone shouted toward the rear.

Rhett glanced at Macauf and several other Wind Mages, who advanced under the cover of soldiers. Once they reached casting distance, they began casting Wind Wall.

When cast normally, Wind Wall could speed up the flight of arrows and other projectiles.

When cast in reverse, depending on the speed and weight of the projectile, it could slow or even completely block incoming attacks.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A fierce wind swept across the front lines. The beastmen, with their strong bodies, weren't much affected.

But the venom sprayed by the Phantom Venomous Snakemen couldn't penetrate the Wind Wall and reach the human soldiers.

Although the Snakemen tried to adjust their positions to avoid the Wind Wall's coverage, the human Wind Mages constantly monitored their movements, shifting the Wind Walls to block the venom as much as possible.

Somjet, having heard the commander's summons, was about to head over, but the appearance of the Phantom Venomous Snakemen made him change his mind!

He recalled a previous battle where he had narrowly escaped after facing these creatures. His gaze turned icy as he muttered, "No beastman elites in the rear? The gods must be favoring me! Phantom Venomous Snakemen, I'll make you pay today!"

Feeling the powerful energy surging through his body, with his viscous, crystalline-like Battle Energy, Somjet realized that compared to Earth Knights, the sheer amount of Battle Energy a Sky Knight possessed was terrifyingly vast.

He leaped high into the air, his body disappearing like a wisp of smoke.

In the next moment, Somjet appeared at the rear of the beastmen's army, hovering in the air thanks to his Wind Element Battle Energy.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

He didn't even need to use his combat techniques—simple strikes were enough to pose a significant threat to the Phantom Venomous Snakemen below.

After all, the beastmen's strategists had never anticipated that a human would break through to Sky Knight in the middle of a battle—a first in the history of the Gorge Defense Line!

Somjet swung his sword, sending out cyan sword energy, shaped like wind blades. Upon closer inspection, the light was not particularly bright but rather subdued, resembling a crystalline form.

But the beastmen were not pushovers. Dozens of Bloodmoon Werewolves quickly gathered, along with Phantom Venomous Snakemen and a few Nightcatmen, all leaping into the air to surround Somjet.

Clang, clang, clang!

A series of sharp metallic clangs rang out in the sky as Somjet's thin sword clashed with the beastmen's claws.

Though Somjet was now a Sky Knight, he dared not be careless against the overwhelming numbers of physically powerful beastmen.

"Let's see how long you can keep up with me!" Somjet sneered coldly, dodging the attacks of four Nightcatmen and piercing a Bloodmoon Werewolf's heart with a single thrust.

Thankfully, as a Wind Element Sky Knight, his ability to hover in the air greatly enhanced his mobility.

Although it consumed a lot of energy and couldn't match the effortless control of wind elements that a Wind Archmage could achieve, it still allowed him to remain airborne, similar to the effect of a Wind Mage's Floating Spell.

For a close-combat knight, this was a significant boost in maneuverability!

A Sky Knight like him, thrust into the fray, became a disruptive force, causing chaos behind enemy lines.

As a result, the beastmen's rear lines began to fall into disarray.

Human forces, invigorated by this, launched even fiercer attacks, gradually gaining the upper hand!

Suddenly.

"Beastmen will triumph! Dare to harm my beastmen kin? Die!" A thunderous roar echoed from the direction of the beastmen's camp!

The terrifying sound waves were so powerful that even those far behind in the human army felt a sharp pain in their eardrums!

Even Rhett felt a dizzying sensation in his head. When he regained his senses, his pupils contracted sharply as an image of a certain beastman race formed in his mind.

Royal Bloodline—Warbear!

Though all royal bloodlines were formidable, the Warbear race had begun to overshadow the others.

This was because, among all the chieftains of the beastmen, only one was universally acknowledged as the true Beast King: The Warbear powerhouse—Felix H. Fredo! Every royal bloodline of the beastmen had unique talents, and the Warbears were no exception. Their immensely strong bodies were just the foundation. Most importantly, they possessed a sonic ability, a talent for producing shockwaves with their thunderous roars! To weaker beings, these shockwaves could cause instant dizziness, even unconsciousness. If the gap in strength was significant enough, a single roar could kill.

Even powerful opponents of the same rank were easily disoriented by it.

At this moment, the intense roar made Rhett feel a bit disoriented, his expression growing heavier.

But in the next instant, another terrifying aura surged forth, a fierce gust of wind howled past, and a ten-meter-long wind blade-shaped sword energy slashed diagonally from the rear of the beastman army.

"Umodi, get past me first!" Avalon's voice echoed from the sky.

At that moment, the beastman commander of the Gorge Defense Line, the high-level Warbear beastman—Umodi—had already rushed out of the beastman camp, surrounded by several powerful auras.

Bloodmoon Werewolves, Phantom Venomous Snakemen, Nightcatmen, Minotaurs, and Boarmen, all of them six-rank powerhouses, encircled Umodi, their eyes fixed menacingly on Avalon.

Likewise, Avalon was surrounded by several Earth Knights, including Tami, Anbiru, Somjet, and the other strong fighters who had assisted in ambushing the Nightcatmen with Anbiru earlier, now standing in opposition to the beastman elites.

Both groups seemed to have emerged from the depths of the beastman camp, each bearing wounds, clearly having already fought a fierce battle.

Rhett understood why Commander Avalon had led a team to intercept Umodi—after all, the bloodline talent of the high-level Warbear had too significant an impact on the battlefield. Its roar directly influenced the army, providing a battlefield advantage unmatched by any other royal bloodline! And compared to the Warbear, human high-level powerhouses had a lesser impact on the battlefield, making direct interception a wiser choice.

But now, it seemed the enemy was ready to go all out.

Facing the newly ascended Sky Knight, Somjet, the beastmen appeared particularly wary, while Avalon's mood improved significantly. Laughing heartily, he said, "Somjet, you're impressive! You live up to your reputation as a genius, hahaha!"

Somjet simply smiled faintly and replied softly, "Let's finish this war quickly, I'm tired—let's annihilate them!"

"You... have you comprehended Mysticism?" Avalon suddenly asked out of the blue.

Hearing this, Somjet's expression darkened, and he quickly replied, "No!"

"Ah, that's unfortunate!" Avalon sighed.

Upon hearing this, the beastmen relaxed. Fortunately, their opponent hadn't comprehended Mysticism; otherwise, their chances of victory in this battle would be much slimmer!

Umodi exchanged a glance with the Bloodmoon Werewolf to his left, and without any hesitation, they launched a fierce attack on Somjet, as if determined to take down this newly ascended Sky Knight!

"Roar!"

Umodi's roar shook the surrounding space, the violent waves of energy causing those around Anbiru to momentarily lose focus.

Even Somjet, seemingly inexperienced, was briefly stunned by the direct impact of the roar!

"Haha, you novice Sky Knight, you're too green!" Umodi charged toward Somjet, laughing wildly and arrogantly shouting, "Die! Learn some lessons in the underworld!"

Avalon's eyes flashed with disbelief—he hadn't expected Somjet to fall prey so easily. Furious, he thrust his sword to intercept Umodi's attack. The tip of his sword glowed with a cyan light, extending into a massive ten-meter-long energy blade, filled with intense Battle Energy.

But Umodi had planned for this. He extended his broad left arm, covered in deep blue metal bristling with spikes, emanating a chilling aura—he was ready to sacrifice his arm, even be crippled, to take down this newly ascended human knight!

A cruel smile spread across his face.

However, the unexpected happened.

Somjet's figure in front of Umodi suddenly became blurry, and in the next moment, a sharp pain pierced Umodi's chest, snapping his mind into clarity.

A look of agony crossed Umodi's face as he glanced down at his left chest, where a thumb-thick hole was gushing blood!

"This... impossible!" Umodi's pupils contracted sharply, his mouth agape in horror as he exclaimed, "You... you just used Wind Element Mysticism!"

His voice trembled with disbelief.

Even the other six-rank beastmen around him instantly became much more cautious as they looked at Somjet.

"Didn't he just say... he hadn't comprehended Mysticism?" the Boarman grumbled in his deep voice.

"Idiot, hopeless fool.

Haven't you learned how deceitful humans can be? That was surely a deliberate lie!" The Phantom Venomous Snakeman hissed angrily, casting a resentful glance at Somjet.
