Chapter 391 5th Rank “Silver Glory Knight”
Darren steered the flames and flew back to the Fischer family estate through the sky, quickly spotting his son Felix, who came out to meet him.
Felix, seeing his father flying down from the sky, said with great joy,
“Father, you’re finally back! When we saw you suddenly fly off earlier, we feared something had happened, but it seems you’ve successfully made your breakthrough to the Monarch Level!”
He clearly understood what the ability to fly meant, his father Darren was not only an Extraordinary Exponent who had reached the 5th Rank, but he had also reached the Monarch Level in terms of the power of his Bloodline, and he was the first in the entire Fischer family, even in the whole world there was no second person quite like him with such a unique existence!
“Hmm.”
Darren nodded slightly, smiled, and said, “How long have I been asleep, approximately?”
He himself thought he hadn’t been in the space of consciousness for long, since pushing open the doors of the flame palace and walking in to sit on the throne felt like a fairly easy task.
However, Felix’s answer was surprising.
“Thirty-five days, you’ve been inside for over a month now, but among all the Extraordinary Exponents who have broken through to the Monarch Level, that’s considered very short!”
“Even those who reach the mid-level Monarch and higher don’t have it as easy as you did with your breakthrough!”
“Is that so, thirty-five days?”
Darren nodded slightly after listening, his face maintained a look of composure and did not show it, but deep down he was somewhat astonished, as he had not expected to just stay in the space of consciousness for a while, yet so much time had passed in the real world.
He then asked, “Nothing particular has happened during the month I was away, has it?”
Felix became serious and said, “Well, if we’re talking about particular events, there’s actually one piece of good news and one piece of neutral but still important news.”
“What’s the good news?” Darren, hearing there was no bad news, breathed a sigh of relief.
Felix immediately said,
“It’s about the leader of the Dawnbringers, Yeager; he has successfully ascended to the Path of Conquest’s 5th Rank, the ‘Silver Glory Knight’, and has gained even greater power!”
“That’s wonderful!” A smile spread across Darren’s face.
Just as Darren had predicted, Yeager, who had prepared the conditions for the ritual long in advance, easily broke through to the 5th Rank.
“Path of Conquest”
The ceremony for ascending to the 5th Rank “Silver Glory Knight” is also related to battle.
It requires the Extraordinary Exponent to go to a dangerous environment with no people around and, without any help, defeat ten enemies capable of posing a lethal threat to oneself consecutively, without a break of more than one day in between.
Yeager had started to prepare well in advance; over ten years, he spent a huge sum of money to capture and collect over twenty powerful magic beasts, each with the strength of the Middle Transmutation Level, while he learned their weaknesses and habits in advance, rehearsed his responses day after day, and prepared a large number of traps.
Not long ago, when Darren was asleep and making his breakthrough, the increasingly aged Yeager finally set off on his path to challenge and ascend with a multitude of Mysterious rare artifacts, alchemical tools, and medicines.
Despite a minor mishap where Yeager lost an arm in battle, he ultimately completed the ascension ceremony with more fright than harm and had his injuries healed after returning.
“Silver Glory Knight.”
Its image in the Spirit Realm is that of a heavy knight clad in silver armor, encased from head to toe in shimmering silver Armor, holding a sword that continuously emits rays of light.
Upon stepping into the role of a “Silver Glory Knight,” an Extraordinary Exponent’s physical prowess is increased by nine hundred and Spiritual Power is increased by one hundred, undoubtedly favoring close-combat fighting.
Besides that, the Extraordinary Exponent will gain two powerful close-combat types of Extraordinary powers.
These are “Silver Radiance Barrier” and “Blade of the World Breaker.”
The former, “Silver Radiance Barrier”, allows the Extraordinary Exponent to erect a square barrier made of silver light within their line of sight through a hand motion, boasting excellent defensive power, somewhat similar to “drawing a prison on the ground,” and can be used to protect oneself or others or even items.
The more Spiritual Power the Extraordinary Exponent consumes, the larger and wider the “Silver Radiance Barrier” they can erect.
It can even withstand numerous attacks from Monarch powerful experts.
The other Extraordinary power, “Blade of the World Breaker,” is an even more powerful offensive type of Extraordinary power, allowing a “Silver Glory Knight” to activate any weapon they hold with their thoughts, igniting it with dazzling silver flames!
And a weapon ignited by the silver flames will have the effect of a “Blade of the World Breaker,” which can continuously dissolve any defensive power through “contact.”
Theoretically, as long as the “Blade of the World Breaker” is in contact long enough, most barriers and defenses in the world can be destroyed by it.
But of course, that’s just “theoretical,” as the time needed to destroy very powerful defenses and barriers would be too long.
After receiving Christine’s permission, Yeager tried it out a little.

He estimated that it would take several hours to destroy the city barrier of Zane City, and to destroy the “Boundless Light,” the National Defense Barrier covering the entire East Coast, it would probably take a full few dozen days to accomplish.
Without a doubt, the larger the barrier, the more time it would take to destroy it.
It would take him only about a minute to destroy the “Silver Radiance Barrier” using the “Blade of the World Breaker.”
After Yeager advanced to the 5th Rank, he was filled with immense joy, and it took several days for him to calm down from the excitement.
As the first person outside of the Fischer family to successfully step onto the 5th Rank, his feat was indeed not common, and in the eyes of many in the Dawn Church, he was considered an idol-like figure.
Soon, Darren continued to inquire from Felix about the other important piece of news.
“So, what is the important message that is neither good nor bad?”
Felix nodded slightly and said, “Well, it’s about the news that we’ve defeated two heretical cults, and the death of ‘Sword of Salvation’ Noah has completely spread. Almost every Cyart person is discussing this, and the Adley Royal Family in the south has offered conditions for reconciliation. They want to divide Cyart into two and rule it separately with us.”
Darren paused, then narrowed his eyes and said, “Are you saying that they want peace talks?”
“Hahahahahaha!”
He couldn’t help but burst out laughing, shaking his head in a sarcastic manner, with absolutely no thought of discussing whether to agree to this matter.
Hmph, thinking of peace talks only at this point, is really too late.
There was a playful smile on Darren’s face.
Right in the midst of it, Felix seemed hesitant but still nodded and said:
“Father, actually, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
“Hmm?” Darren raised an eyebrow.
Then, Felix gathered his courage and said:
“I want to marry Sunny Frosac from the Frosac family. After we are married, I will return to the Reforging Church.”
“Sunny Frosac? I know her. She has been waiting for you for a decade, but you are aware, aren’t you, that aside from Zayne, those of the Frosac family have never truly stood by the Fischer family in these ten years?”
Darren narrowed his eyes, let out a chuckle, and said:
“They pride themselves on being ‘neutral,’ not wanting to get involved, heh.”
He was about to continue speaking when he was suddenly interrupted.
“No matter what, I will marry Sunny Frosac, Father, and even your opposition won’t change that!”
Felix’s tone suddenly became more insistent and serious than ever before, and Darren was taken aback after hearing this.
This boy, he’s really grown up, huh? That girl didn’t wait for him ten years in vain… What happened between Sunbelle and Karno won’t happen to them…
In fact, in his opinion, a person as unpredictable as Karno would probably be unbearable to almost anyone who was normal, not just Sunbelle.
“I understand, Felix, don’t worry, I won’t stop you.”
He became serious, patted his son on the shoulder, and said:
“On the contrary, I will support your decision. Heh, what’s the point of being the head of a family if you can’t even marry the woman you love?”
“Rest assured, our dissatisfaction with the Frosac family will not extend to Sunny. After all, Bishop Zane has also contributed a lot, right?”
“That’s great, Father! Thank you for your support!”
Felix, knowing of his father’s support, was very excited.
Sunny.
Finally, I can live up to your heart’s desire!
And so, a little over two months later, a grand and significant wedding was held in Nasir City, which people saw as a new chapter and a new beginning for the city.
