Chapter 550: Chapter 506: The 7th Step “Lord of Fear

In a compact and slightly crowded room within Fischer Manor.

At this moment, several members of the Fischer family were seated around a table, their faces serious and focused, their eyes revealing an unmistakable sense of urgency. The air in the room was filled with a subtle tension, as if even breathing had become cautious.

Christine, the head of the White Fischer family, sat in a wheelchair, her hands crossed on the table, her gaze piercing as she scanned each person present.

Beside her, Felix’s face was resolute, his brow furrowed, occasionally tapping the tabletop lightly with his finger, producing a low, rhythmic sound.

Although he was one of Darren’s lineage, he often came to Nasir City. His eyes revealed his determination and resolve, as if he was brewing an important decision.

Sitting opposite him was a young man, High Priest Archer of the Dawn Church, whose eyes were also filled with an undeniable decisiveness.

His hands were clasped together on his knees, clearly also nervously contemplating the topic that was about to be discussed.

Several documents lay on the table, their edges slightly curled from frequent handling.

Christine pondered for a moment, picked up the documents, and suddenly said, “Recently, there have been too many incidents around Cyart. Now, not only do the Lorne citizens see us as a thorn in their side, but almost all powers are interested in us.”

“Some fear us and want to eliminate us, others are greedy for power and want to possess it… Of course, there are also those who choose to convert to the Lord of the Lost, although most are not out of true faith but still due to the temptation of the Power of Consecution. However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, no matter what, we need to become stronger.”

Felix nodded, then asked, “The Dawn Church’s influence is expanding, so, how many people can we actually provide with the Power of Consecution?”

Christine quickly answered, “Actually, it’s impossible to give every person the Power of Consecution since the number of magic beasts is limited, and therefore, the amount of Extraordinary materials is limited as well…”

“Mainly because, after breaking ties with the Lorne people, we are extremely restricted in terms of diversity and high-quality Extraordinary materials. Previously, as long as we wanted to trade with the Lorne people, no matter the quantity, it was obtainable. Now, some materials, even if we have the money, we can’t manage to trade for them, and they aren’t available natively in the Eastern Ouden Continent.”

She paused, then continued, “We absolutely can’t satisfy everyone who covets the Power of Consecution.”

Archer suddenly said, “As long as we don’t speak of it externally, who would know?”

“Next, more and more people who desire power will come to Cyart to become members of the Dawn Church, and those people will become our strength.”

Christine nodded, “The number of entrants has been increasingly growing, even three Extraordinary Exponents at Monarch Level have come to visit, there are also spies from other forces, all kinds of ill-intentioned people have visited.”

“Fortunately, our Listeners can catch those guys; they can hear the inner voices of people with hostility around.”

Archer smiled and said, “Of those three Monarch Level Extraordinary Exponents, two are considering whether or not to join the Dawn Church… I believe I can influence them.”

“Because they all crave more powerful strength.”

After revealing the grand presence of the Lord of the Lost, Archer easily reached the 5th Rank.

And the 5th rank of the Path of Divine Sacrifice is the “Ascetic.”

The “Ascetic” in the Spirit Realm is an old man sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed, his expression exceedingly devout.

To reach the “Ascetic,” Extraordinary Exponents need to perform the ritual of “prolonged devotion,” a stable yet time enduring ritual, but maintaining “devotion” is something that is simple yet difficult…

It can only be said that those who are not devout will never reach the 5th Tier on the Path of Divine Sacrifice.

The “Ascetic” has a ratio of physical qualities improvements and Spiritual Power enhancements divided as forty-sixty.

And each “Ascetic” receives different Extraordinary powers, each receiving distinctly different “Ascetic Blessings” based on their personal experiences.

The “Ascetic Blessing” Archer received was the “Key of the Soul.”
