Chapter 501: Extreme Candle Limit Stage

[Since Lilith was only comprehending a mid-grade light-attributed Universal Law, it wasn’t that difficult for her to progress her Light Bearer rank.]

[Coupled with the innate talents you’ve given her and her improved bloodline, you were confident that throughout the entire Perpetual Darkness World, Lilith’s talent and aptitude in the Light Bearer Path could rank in the top 5!]

[After all, you were the undisputed first, while the deceased Spirit of Light Luminox would be the second most talented. If not for you, he would have been the first, since he’s the only one who managed to reach the Half-Step Everlasting Light rank.]

[If not for his untimely death, Luminox might have been able to defeat the source of the Perpetual Darkness on his own. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time to grow that strong.]

[His greatest contribution was to use his death to put the source of the Perpetual Darkness into slumber. Aside from that, his mainstream training method had also allowed countless beings to become Light Bearers.]

[Regardless of Luminox’s intentions and schemes, his actions were indeed for the greater good. The only ones he was screwing up with were those Light Bearer powerhouses, so he wasn’t abhorrently evil.]

[’According to the Hint Prompt, Luminox is as good as dead, so I won’t have to worry about his revival. The only issue is those idiotic traitors who are scheming to awaken the source of the Perpetual Darkness from its slumber.’]

[’But with my current Light Bearer rank, those are the least of my worries. The top priority is still to become strong enough to affect the Perpetual Darkness’s powerhouses and deal with those Dark Monsters.’]

[’Aside from the source of the Perpetual Darkness, there are some Dark Monsters who are equivalent to the Divine rank, and they’re the strongest threat while the source of the Perpetual Darkness is still in slumber.’]

[Knowing this, you focused all your attention on increasing your Light Bearer rank.]

[Since you didn’t lack resources, you had even reached the Extreme Firefly Limit Stage when you were expanding the Extreme Light Bearer Training Method.]

[The next rank above that was the Extreme Candle rank. With the current resources you’ve possessed, reaching that rank and even a few extreme ranks above it wasn’t an issue.]

[’At the Firefly rank, it emphasizes carrying one’s light. As for the Candle rank, it’s to sustain the light, for it to no longer extinguish that easily.’]

[’At the Extreme Firefly rank, the groups of sparks I’ve summoned could easily be manipulated by me after I create them, letting them move around me like a bunch of fireflies.’]

[’But to become an Extreme Candle rank Light Bearer, the sparks will become a flame-like light, like that of a candle flame. Although its size was only twice bigger than a spark, the light created would no longer be unstable and easily extinguishable.’]

[’Since it focuses on sustainability, a light created by a Candle rank Light Bearer wouldn’t die out on its own, but due to external forces like the Dark Monsters and Perpetual Darkness.’]

[Thinking of this, the process to reach that wasn’t that difficult for you, especially when you have already expanded your extreme training method.]

[Taking out radiant crystals, you used the light energy within them to fuel your inner light.]

[Waving your hand, firefly-like lights appeared beside you. But with the continuous devouring of the light energy within the radiant crystals, those firefly-like lights started expanding their size, becoming as large as a marble.]

[After a few days had passed, the light you’ve summoned was as large as a ping pong ball.]

[Aside from its noticeably larger size, the light it emitted was steady and strong, no longer as weak and unstable as the light created from the previous two stages.]

[In other words, you’ve successfully advanced to Extreme Candle rank Limit Stage!]

[Although the size of the light you’ve summoned was that large, its shape was like that of a candle flame.]

[For most Light Bearers, they’d only be able to summon one candle light at the Initial Stage, and ten of them at Peak Stage.]

[But due to you reaching the Extreme Candle rank, you could summon a thousand of them if you wanted to!]

[In fact, there were virtually no limits. It was only dependent on how much light energy you possessed.]

[This was the biggest reason why you could fight Dark Monsters above your rank. Not only was it due to using the Everlasting Light as the foundation of your inner light, but it was also due to being able to achieve feats that couldn’t be done by Light Bearers of the same rank.]

[With those Candle rank Peak Stage Light Bearers only able to create ten candle lights on average, it would be a surprise if they could even compare to you, who had already reached not only the Extreme rank but also the Limit Stage.]

[Not only was your quantity superior, but the quality of it was incomparable to all Light Bearers of even higher rank!]

[After becoming an Extreme Candle rank Light Bearer, what’s next was to advance to Extreme Lantern rank.]

[In this case, it wasn’t that difficult for you to advance to that.]

[’If the Candle rank is about sustaining one’s light, then the Lantern rank emphasizes the illumination of one’s light. It’s only at Lantern rank that Light Bearers could not only provide lighting to themselves, but also to others.’]

[’After all, since it emphasized the illumination of one’s light, the area illuminated by the lantern light could drive away the Perpetual Darkness of those around them.’]

[’It allowed them to let non-Light Bearers live beside them, no longer worrying that much about the Perpetual Darkness.’]

[Although Lantern rank Light Bearers didn’t have reliable methods for attacking Dark Monsters unlike Flash rank Light Bearers, they were at least capable of driving out the Perpetual Darkness of a house or two.]

[If the previous three ranks were enough light for merely one person, then reaching Lantern rank would allow a Light Bearer to protect a family or two from the Perpetual Darkness’s corruption!]
