Chapter 399 The 4th Step "Glorious Knight" and the 3rd Step "Giant Bear Warrior

The 6th Rank “Apostle of the Night”.
Chris could clearly feel a power within his body that was stronger than ever before, his overall attributes having improved by almost three thousand. Of that, the portion attributed to his physical attributes had increased by two thousand, while spiritual power had roughly increased by one thousand.
It was yet another massive improvement over the previous rank. Explore hidden tales at empire
In addition, over the past decade, through the ability “Hunter”, he hunted to enhance himself, with both his physical attributes and spiritual power each increasing by about one thousand.
At this moment, Chris’s base strength was already extremely formidable. Combined with unbelievable rune power, “First Kill” would give even the top experts among high-level Monarchs a severe headache.
And more important than the enhanced base attributes on the “Path of Tranquility” were those mysterious and extraordinary abilities.
After becoming an “Apostle of the Night”, he had already gained two totally different powers, and the name of the first power was “Night Shift”.
As long as it was nighttime, Chris could freely move into the darkness within his line of sight, performing what could truly be considered instantaneous movement. Moreover, the time lag required for each movement was merely a fraction of a second.
“Within line of sight” is actually quite a broad range. Chris tried it out a bit and found that as long as he stood on a high place and could see far enough, he could even move tens of kilometers away in an instant.
The limit to the distance he could move wasn’t the distance itself, but rather that the further he moved, the more spiritual power it would consume.
He quickly estimated that the total spiritual power he currently possessed was only enough to sustain movement over twenty-odd kilometers.
But that was enough, because in normal combat, Chris actually only needed to flash about within a few hundred meters, and didn’t need to move over vast distances.
Without a doubt, the extraordinary power of “Night Shift” gave Chris extremely strong mobility.
As long as he was in the dark night, he could easily escape even if he couldn’t kill his enemies.
At the same time, after becoming an “Apostle of the Night”, he gained a second new ability, named “Night Concealment”.
The power of “Night Concealment” was simple and straightforward. As long as Chris did not launch an attack, he could remain invisible all night.
While maintaining “Night Concealment”, Chris’s spiritual power would continue to be consumed, but not much. It would take nearly the entire night to deplete all of his spiritual power.
After “Night Concealment” was released, Chris needed to move out of the “line of sight” of the attacker to be able to spend a few seconds to become invisible again.
It could be said that after his promotion to “Apostle of the Night”, Chris’s ability to cause damage hadn’t improved too significantly, but he was able to further enhance his mobility and had obtained a very practical ability to become invisible.
He truly became a veritable “Grim Reaper of the Night”!
From now on, as long as it was night, Chris could truly come without a shadow and leave without a trace, infiltrating various places, and assassinating most targets would be as easy as reaching into a bag.
In the past, anytime a family member received a new promotion, it was always Byrne who took care of recording and testing within the family. But now that Byrne had left, it fell to Christine to be responsible for the recording and testing.
Chris, after being promoted to “Apostle of the Night”, quietly departed to continue physically dealing with some of the Fischer family’s adversaries. Only his wife and daughter knew how to contact him.

The sun gently fell upon the land, not too drying or scorching, just right to bestow warm and brightness to everything in Nasir City. The sky was clear and deep blue, like washed silk without a cloud in sight, as if one could gaze to the very edge of the horizon.
Darren calmly boarded a black carriage bearing his family’s crest.
His coachman was the Old Dog, who on the “Path of Calamity,” had reached the 3rd Rank “Flaming Knight”.
After the carriage started moving, the Old Dog’s voice came from outside.
“Lately, many people from the Dawn Church are conducting their rituals, and in the following period, quite a few will be promoted.”
Sitting inside the carriage, Darren nodded slightly and replied,
“I think the most important are Moore and Theo. After all, they don’t have much time left. Besides them, within the church, Karno is the one who has a chance to reach the 5th Rank, but I can’t be bothered to think about his specific situation.”
Compared to those two, Chris’s good friend Archibald, a general in the Fischer family army, hasn’t fully mastered the 4th Rank, so he is still a noticeable distance from the 5th Rank.
The Old Dog laughed heartily, saying,
“Instead of thinking ‘their power will enhance the family’s war capacity’, you thought ‘they don’t have much time left’. It seems our ‘Iron Mask Man’ isn’t as cold-hearted as one might think!”
Darren also chuckled and said, “I’ve always been a kind soul who cares about the family and the church.”
“Actually, putting Uncle Moore aside for now, I have always greatly respected Mr. Theo. He’s someone who watched me grow up. Before the great Lord of the Lost went to slumber, it was a stroke of luck that he advanced to the 4th Rank ‘Glorious Knight’, so now he still has a chance to break through the limits of life and death.”
The Old Dog nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I think he’ll make it… Actually, since the great Lord of the Lost returned, it seems like our efficiency in utilizing the Power of Consecution has increased a bit, so the chances of completing the rituals might be higher too!”
