From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 229: Chapter 219: The Third Tier "Sword Brandisher" and Future Strategy

Byrne was toying with a coin, aware that even when "Instantaneous Transfer" was used on inanimate objects, there was still a difference in the consumption of Spiritual Power.

The larger and farther the object being transferred, the more Spiritual Power it consumed.

He put away the coin and looked calmly at the members of the Fischer family.

"It's not just me, Yeager has also successfully risen to the rank of 'Sword Brandisher'!"

An Extraordinary ability called "sword brandishing" is part of the 2nd Rank of the Path of Conquest, known as "Combat Master".

It is an ability that can instantly multiply the attack speed several times over; it has a robust effect in close combat and remains useful even in high-level battles.

And the 3rd Rank of the Path of Conquest is, in itself, the "Sword Brandisher".

In the Spirit Realm, its image is that of a powerful female swordswoman bathed in red light, with only one left arm yet still exuding confidence and composure.

Yeager and Byrne were promoted in an emergency situation through Madam Lilian's help, and they did not convene all members of the Fischer family, so many were unaware of their acquisition of new Powers of Consecution.

When rising to "Sword Brandisher," the Class 3 Extraordinary Material sacrificed was the "Thunder Roar Stone", which emits a loud noise upon touch and contains deep blue streaks of electricity within its black color, appearing quite wondrous.

"Sword Brandisher" is a very pure close combat sequence power.

After his promotion, Yeager gained an increase of 55 in physical quality, while his Spiritual Power increased by 15.

At the same time, he acquired two Extraordinary traits: "Flaw Detection Eye" and "duel".

With the ability of "Flaw Detection Eye," a "Sword Brandisher" can passively detect the fatal weaknesses of all life forms not much stronger than themselves, and if they strike these weak points immediately, they can inflict enormous damage in an instant.

As for the Extraordinary ability "duel," the "Sword Brandisher" can continuously consume their own Spiritual Power to forcibly lock onto an enemy and engage in a "duel".

When the special effect of "duel" is activated, the "Sword Brandisher" gains increased damage against the locked-on enemy, becomes more agile, and heals from injuries more rapidly.

Yeager had already tried it; when he activated the ability "duel," his overall combat capability was similar to being temporarily promoted from the low-level Transmutation to mid-level Transmutation, which is quite a significant increase.

The cost is that during the "duel," before killing the target or ending the "duel," the "Sword Brandisher" cannot switch to attack another person.

And Yeager's current Spiritual Power is only enough to sustain "duel" for thirty seconds, after which his Spiritual Power will be depleted.

Undoubtedly, compared to other Powers of Consecution on the same tier of the God Pantheon stairway, "Sword Brandisher" is the best one-on-one fighter and a very pure melee Extraordinary Exponent.

"Yeager, you truly are the most outstanding of all Daybreakers, reaching the 3rd Rank in your early thirties. I believe the 4th Rank and even the distant future will unfold before you."

Byrne said with a smile, his casual words confirming Yeager's status among the Daybreakers.

Even though Yeager already had a high reputation, it was undoubtedly important to receive Byrne's explicit support at this moment.

Yeager bowed deeply, speaking calmly and with great respect, "Everything I have has been given by the great Lord of the Lost, and I, in my own right, remain very immature, needing to always adhere to the teachings of the Fischer family!"

Archibald struggled to hold back his sarcasm—this guy was just too good with words, and Archibald was sure he could never speak like that in his life.

Damn it!

So you think you're special just because you're eloquent?

Byrne looked at Yeager with a smile and slowly nodded as he said:

"Regarding the position of Deputy Mayor of Fein City, you can strive for it in the next few years. Don't worry, the Fischer family will fully support you from the shadows!"

Although a few knew that many years ago, Yeager came from the Daybreak Orphanage in Fein City, no outsiders were aware of his close ties with the Fischer family.

He was undoubtedly a highly successful pawn for the family, quietly staying in low-level official positions for a long time, accumulating connections and resources in the dark until recently when he was promoted to a high-ranking official in Fein City.

Yeager nodded slowly, speaking calmly, "I am confident that I can secure the position of Deputy Mayor within five years. However, the position of Mayor is likely beyond my reach."

He paused, adding helplessly, "After all, the Mayor of Fein City has always been filled by members of the Lion clan; it has been predetermined from the beginning."

Suddenly, Madam Lilian spoke, "Perhaps, you can try to directly join the Lion clan." Experience more tales on m v|l e'-NovelBin.net

"Hmm, I will consider it..."

Yeager narrowed his eyes, understanding what Madam Lilian meant; the most direct way to join another clan was the only way.

Byrne kept his composure, suddenly taking out paper and pen, and said with a smile,

"Excuse me for interrupting, Yeager, Lilian, I'd like to record something very important. What exactly is the rite of passage to become a 'Sword Brandisher'?"

Everyone instinctively turned to Yeager, who nodded calmly and recounted his own experience.

"I've been trying all along, thinking of many methods, but nothing worked until one day, I got drunk for the first time in my life."

"Then, the resentment deep in my heart burst forth, and I went to Fein City's underground fighting ring. Concealing my power, I defeated over a dozen opponents one-on-one, and suddenly I felt my Spiritual Power begin to slightly surge!"

His eyes gleamed with satisfaction, as if savoring the memories of that night.

"Afterward, I deliberately sought out a high-level Beginning illegal Extraordinary person, placing an order for him to try to assassinate me. So, I fought a duel to the death with him in an alley, and I was the one who survived, with my spirituality getting even more agitated..."

Yeager summarized and turned to Byrne, concluding, "Three one-on-one duels of equal strength finally enabled me to successfully complete the Path of Conquest 'Sword Brandisher' rite of passage."

So that was it. Byrne nodded slightly; the rite of passage for the "Sword Brandisher" was not entirely beyond his expectations.

"Sword Brandishers," also aptly called "Duelists," were undoubtedly adept at one-on-one confrontations, so their rite of passage was also about one-on-one duels with Extraordinary beings of equal strength.

Yeager suddenly spoke very seriously, "I have an important suggestion regarding the Daybreakers!"

"If it's someone with determination, like a man such as Viscount Bast, he could still find out the connections between us and the Fischer family. At a critical time, it might have an impact, so I hope we can nurture the future Daybreakers somewhere other than the orphanage."

Upon hearing the name Viscount Bast, Byrne's emotions deep inside became somewhat complex, and he took a deep breath. Aside from Chris, others around noticed his slightly odd demeanor.

Chris gazed silently at Byrne, seemingly aware of something, and kept quiet.

Lilian nodded softly and calmly said, "Yes, we have also thought of this. The new island that our family has developed out at sea will be our best place for education and testing."

"From now on, truly potential children will be taken to that island instead of being sent to the various orphanages that exist in plain sight."

"Good!"

A light shone in Yeager's eyes, he took a deep breath, and said loudly,

"Regarding the future direction of our family and the church, I've actually thought about it, and I would like everyone to listen to my suggestion."

"The Dawn Church is a clandestine force, so it should engage in the activities of a secret organization."

"From now on, we Daybreakers should infiltrate every clan, every power, every nation. We should not confine ourselves to any city! Any country! Any faction!"

"Someday, day by day, in every city, with every power, beside every great figure, there will be a Daybreaker present!"

"When that time comes, the whole world will be in the palm of the great Lord of the Lost!"

Lilian's thoughts aligned with his, she nodded immediately and said with excitement, "Yes, that's what I think too, Yeager! And I also hope to recruit those disillusioned from various families, they are excellent Proselyte prospects!"

Yeager smiled; he didn't like those Proselytes, but he certainly couldn't say so outright.

Vanessa paused and asked, "What do you mean by disillusioned?"

Lilian continued, smiling, "Many members of noble families inherit recessive bloodlines, they are born as ordinary humans, unlike their siblings."

"Those siblings are born Extraordinary, superior from the start, thus enjoying nearly all the glory and resources of the family."

"But those born as ordinary people, even if they aren't overtly discriminated against, they are certainly neglected. Human nature dictates that many deep inside harbor resentment."

"If they had never seen the light, that would be one thing, but to be constantly bathed in its glow, yet unable to truly feel its warmth, is something most difficult to endure."

Everyone understood that she had a point, giving more resources and status to the Extraordinary was the consensus of all noble families, indeed of every power.

And indeed, people thought there was nothing wrong with that.

Power lies within bloodlines, so everyone is born unequal!

Speaking to this point, Lilian paused, a smile of certain victory appeared on her face, and her tone became increasingly aggressive.

"They will all incredibly crave Extraordinary power. In fact, many who join heretical cults are these people... and we can give them a chance! A chance to completely change their destiny!"

"Many would even risk death to fight for this opportunity! And their presence will help us infiltrate all the families across the continent!"
