Chapter 398 6th Rank "Apostle of the Night
Marquis Middell was dead.
After successfully killing his target in the darkness of the night, Chris took the Mysterious rare artifact from the body of Marquis Middell, then left the manor without hesitation and headed to an uninhabited area in the city, where he took a deep breath.
With the death of Marquis Middell, the ascension ritual for the “Apostle of the Night” at the 6th Rank was also completed!
“…”
He could feel clearly that the Spiritual Power within his body was boiling extremely violently, more so than ever before. It was such a vigorous boil that even boiling water would not be a suitable comparison.
It could be referred to as… a very special kind of Spiritual bomb.
It was as if there was a massive amount of energy waiting to explode within his body, and those Spiritual Powers seemed capable of spreading outwards with a deafening roar and dazzling light, with flame, shrapnel, and shockwaves spreading at a frightening speed, destroying anything that stood in their way to smithereens.
Of course, that was merely an imaginary scenario, a metaphor deep within his heart.
Chris took another deep breath, and then immediately left the city without any further delay.
The news that Marquis Middell, the most resistant to the Northern King Peggy Adler, had been assassinated by the “Death God” Chris, spread quickly throughout the Cyart Kingdom.
There was no doubt that it was a significant signal!
The Fischer family was essentially making a proclamation to the entire nation!
Any nobility that did not submit to the “New Northern King Peggy,” as well as those who wanted to avenge “Sword of Salvation” Noah, would all face severe cleansing and eradication.
In fact, some members of the Fischer family, led by Darren, did think exactly that.
They intended to notify the entire nation with harsh measures in the coming days.
Cyart was not a very large kingdom, with a relatively simple political structure, so many times, most problems could be solved simply by “killing.”
So, after the death of Marquis Middell, an increasing number of Extraordinary nobility surrendered, publicly acknowledging Northern “King Peggy” as the new Cyart King in the first instance!
An unprecedented large-scale alignment began in the history of Siyate!
More and more Siya Nobles families started sending envoys to the East Coast and Emerald Lake Province, submitting their allegiance to the Fischer and Romann families, even members of the “Wrathful Angel” Jones family and “Flaming Blood Proud Dragon” Castleton family arrived.
When “Mighty Angel” Bern, the Family Head of the “Wrathful Angel” Jones family, came personally, he appeared quite ashamed, sincerely admitting that it had been a huge mistake to remain neutral and not support Fischer during the eleven-year civil war.
But “Mighty Angel” Bern stated that from now on, the “Wrathful Angel” Jones family would definitely become the vanguard for the “New King Peggy” and would never betray the new king.
“With Queen Peggy, Siyate will definitely become the strongest country in the East!”
Members of the Fischer family, who had participated in that defense battle, still thought of “Mighty Angel” Bern as a magnanimous, open-hearted, and sentimental man.
But observing his behavior over the past dozen or so years, it was increasingly clear that “Mighty Angel” Bern was in fact a shrewd Family Head of a major family, always preserving his family’s strength, and decisively taking sides when the outcome was clear.
However, there were still some nobility families within Siyate that were uncooperative and watchful.
Regarding how to deal with them, it was decided that the Fischer family would hold a family council in due time.
But more important than those matters, for the time being, was…
The ritual!
This ritual was for Chris Fischer!
He was undoubtedly the oldest and strongest member of the Fischer family, its most important core pillar, with a record of numerous achievements and a formidable reputation, known in Siyate as the fearsome “Death God” and also acclaimed as a legendary figure within the Dawn Church!
Today, Chris would finally step onto the 6th Rank, the “Apostle of the Night,” on the “Path of Tranquility.”
In the Grand Hall below Fischer Manor…
The altar was located right in the center, carved out of pure white marble, with various offerings placed upon it: golden grains, clear and sparkling gemstones, fragrant and overflowing fresh flowers, and specially made sacred wine, all highlighting the piety and solemnity of this ritual.
Around the altar stood priests in white ceremonial robes. They held staffs, with solemn expressions on their faces, and their eyes shimmered with reverence for the great Lord of the Lost.
The leader among the priests was none other than the young Archer Fischer.
He still had tension and anticipation in his eyes.
As the melodious sound of the bell tolls rose, the Grand Hall gradually quieted down, and the hearts of all present began to still. Continue your journey at empire
The ritual of sacrifice officially began, and Archer Fischer slowly approached the altar. His voice was not deep but it was very powerful as he chanted the prayers. Each phrase was filled with praise and pleas to the Lord of the Lost.
At the same time, a flame appeared in mid-air, providing more light for the entire sacrifice.
It was an extraordinary material from a magic beast similar to a giant crab; it was actually a part of its “claws” but was named “Emerald Demon Blade”.
In Claud World, such a thing was very rare, but in another dimension, in a colony of the Lorne Empire, that kind of giant magic beast was very commonplace, having been farmed and hunted by the Lorne Empire for a long time in an orderly manner.
Moreover, the Mysterious rare artifact belonging to Marquis Middell was also offered as a sacrifice.
When Archer had spoken everything, the last wisp of fire dissipated in mid-air, and the ceremony of sacrifice slowly drew to a close.
However, the reverence and gratitude toward the great Lord of the Lost, like a brand, were deeply etched into the hearts of every member of the Dawn Church who participated in the sacrifice.
Karl gazed silently at the entire process of the sacrifice from the sky.
He had already noticed something different about the new High Priest of the Dawn Church, the youth named Archer.
Although Archer appeared to be a docile young man, always self-blaming and guilt-ridden, often doubting whether he had done things well enough, needing more effort.
In fact, he had many ideas and beliefs. He had only just ascended to the position of the High Priest not long ago and had already changed part of the ritual process that Irene had originally set in the scriptures.
It was a bold move.
Karl clearly remembered that Lilian had never changed the ritual process, faithfully following the various instructions Irene had set in the scriptures.
Soon, the Level Six extraordinary material “Emerald Demon Blade” was presented. It looked like a giant emerald blade several meters long.
With the Forbidden rare artifact, Karl gained new Spiritual Power, but compared to the last ritual, the experience was far too inferior.
He found that his threshold might be a little high…
“This may not be a good thing…”
Next, Karl came to the illusory Spirit Realm to illuminate the 6th Rank of the Path of Tranquility.
“Apostle of the Night”
Among the constellations, there was a pitch-black night, and hidden within that night was a figure whose appearance was indistinct, exuding a terrifying and dangerous aura.
The next moment, Karl was already holding the black Spiritual Radiance and returning to the real world from the Spirit Realm.
He adeptly bestowed it upon Chris Fischer, who had long been waiting there.
Step up to the new rank, Chris!
At first, it was a slight trembling that was quite imperceptible, as if some dormant power in the air was quietly awakened. Then, that power rapidly converged inside the silver-haired man’s body, accumulating energy like a volcano before the eruption, repressed and brimming with tension.
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from within Chris, illuminating everything around him!
It was not only a visual Shock, but also accompanied by a powerful shockwave that spread outward from him, causing the windows along the streets outside Fischer Manor to tremble and leaves to be blown about by this force, and even passerby’s hair to dance in the wind from the sudden power.
A huge, black pillar of light covered the entire street!
People stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide with disbelief at the scene, as if the entire world had come to a standstill at that moment.
Chris’s figure in the light seemed especially tall, his eyes shimmering with an unprecedented steadfastness and brilliance, holding power far beyond that of ordinary men.
The powerful influence of the “Apostle of the Night” not only shook the entire block but even made many people in Nasir City aware of it.
People began to whisper, some marveling at this incredible power, while others felt awe.
Finally, as the energy gradually subsided, the dense, black light also slowly faded away, and Nasir City returned to its usual calm.
