Chapter 188: Captain Radiant Knight

All of Max’s arcane caster active skills had evolved.

They possessed additional effects, and given their properties, Max would definitely be a figure that the demons feared.

Furthermore, Max’s battle style had been finalized over the past months ever since he decided to make use of each of his active skills.

He divided his battle style into two—an artillery mage and a battle mage.

The artillery mage focused on Radiant Spear and Radiant Aegis, while the battle mage mostly used the Radiant Weave and Radiant Nova, while utilizing the other two skills as supplementary skills.

When Max fought in a battle mage style against his vanguards, the latter themselves found it difficult to catch Max.

Max had yet to increase his strength and agility at that time, and yet he could keep up with the vanguards.

Of course, the vanguards were clearly holding back, and he did not blame them.

Most importantly, he finalized his battle style as a summoner.

Max only briefly studied the arcane caster active skills before being intrigued by the new skills he learned, especially the Knight Slot Expansion.

[Active Skill: Knight Slot Expansion.

Expands the Conclave’s capacity to maintain and deploy a significantly larger number of Radiant Knights.

Unlike ordinary summoning proficiency, this skill directly strengthens the Conclave Network’s ability to accommodate multiple contracted knights simultaneously.]

In other words, his Conclave Network expanded, allowing him to possess 25 contracted Radiant Knights of unknown origin.

At the beginner level, he was amazed that his Conclave Network now held 25 active knights.

Given that he was a Radiant Commander, there was a high possibility that at the master level, he could possess 100 Radiant Knights.

A 100 Radiant Knights! Max’s eyes widened.

Such a large number meant he was a terrifying summoner, not just an ordinary summoner who could summon a pack of wolves.

Furthermore, he actually possessed three active skills as a Summoner.

[Active Skill: Radiant Advance

Description: Orders an entire formation to execute a coordinated assault against a designated target or area. Rather than simply commanding individual knights to attack, the skill synchronizes movement, positioning, timing, and offensive abilities.

Active Skill: Unified Assault

Description: Synchronizes the attacks of multiple Radiant Knights into a single concentrated offensive strike. Unlike Radiant Advance, which controls movement and formation, Unified Assault focuses entirely on attack synchronization. The more knights participating, the greater the potential destructive output.

Active Skill: Squad Formation

Description: Allows the Radiant Conclave bearer to organize Radiant Knights into specialized military formations. The caster can assign available Radiant Knights into squads according to their battlefield roles. The formation bonuses become stronger as the caster’s understanding of Authority and battlefield coordination improves.]

Max understood why he needed to become a Radiant Commander to possess these skills.

With them, he could command his Radiant Knights to attack with higher efficiency despite their large numbers.

Furthermore, with the Squad Formation, it would allow him to possess powerful specialized military formations.

Lastly, the Captain Appointment.

[Active Skill: Captain Appointment

Description: Designates selected Radiant Knights as Captains, granting them greater autonomy and allowing them to command subordinate Radiant Knights. This skill is extremely important for the squad composition, because it prevents the caster from having to personally issue every command to every knight.]

At the beginner level, he could only appoint one captain.

But for Max, it was more than enough.

Although he groomed each of the sub-classes of Radiant Knights to become their leader, for the entire Radiant Knights, Max already had an idea of who was the first Captain.

Max finally closed the status window.

He particularly didn’t care about the huge numbers of Free Stat Points he had at the moment.

He could increase his beginner skills to intermediate rank without having to increase his intelligence points.

After all, he currently has 548 intelligence points at the moment.

For him, it was more than enough.

He swept his gaze around his Radiant Knights and saw each of their status with just a single thought to the system.

Every single one of them reached B-rank, and their stats had drastically increased.

Similar to him, it was multiply into two.

Furthermore, their primary weapons changed from Rare rank to Epic.

In other words, not only did their appearance drastically change after evolving to a higher rank, but their weapons also exuded an Epic-rank appearance.

He was satisfied. Although they did not learn new skills, their skills remained at the Expert rank.

Max glanced at Fiora and couldn’t help but think if she was finally able to make Lancelot fight her seriously.

It would be undeniable that all his Warriors, especially Fiora, had been trained by Lancelot.

In fact, Lancelot called Fiora his apprentice, which Max only laughed at, not feeling offended or threatened at all as her master.

Ever since he acknowledged the Godhand of Salvation as his teacher, he didn’t mind having his Radiant Knights find a master to grow stronger.

Especially when he noticed their improvements and progress hastened under their teachings.

After casually scrutinizing their appearance and stats, Max finally settled his gaze at Jeremiah.

He said, "Come before me, Jeremiah."

Jeremiah hastily broke off his meditation and approached his master, kneeling and bowing before him.

The other Radiant Knights followed suit, except they kept their distance behind him.

"Yes, Master."

Max stared at him and felt a bit satisfied by his performance.

Jeremiah truly deserved to be his right-hand man.

As for his left-hand man, he already considered Danny, for he was the one responsible for managing the Demon Hunters Guild.

Max said to Jeremiah, "I hereby appoint you to a Captain position."

Jeremiah appeared not surprised, but he was clearly delighted.

[You have granted Jeremiah, your first Radiant Oracle, a Captain position using the Captain Appointment Skill.

Jeremiah has now received the right to command 10 Radiant Knights, and he will enjoy the Captain benefits.]

Max then saw a glow radiating from Jeremiah, seemingly receiving the Captain benefits.

He smiled. "Henceforth, I will allow you to choose ten Radiant Knights under your command."

Max then recalled Jeremiah to his Conclave Network, allowing him to choose ten new Radiant Knights under his wing...
