Chapter 471: 445
Just before the war fully commenced, the Fischer family received some tremendously good news!
Chris had finally mastered the 6th Rank of the Path of Tranquility, and once he completed the elevation ritual for the “Reaper’s Blade” at the Seventh Tier, he would gain even greater power.
What power the “Reaper’s Blade” at the Seventh Tier of the Path of Tranquility held was unknown to the members of the Dawn Church, but they all believed that the current Lord Chris was already very powerful. If he succeeded in stepping onto the Seventh Tier, he might very well become the strongest under the Heavenly Enlightenment!
Moreover, the Eastern region of Ouden Continent was forbidden to those granted Heavenly Enlightenment.
Should Chris reach the Seventh Tier, the Fischer family and the Dawn Church would undoubtedly become the reigning supreme powers across the entire region of Ouden Continent!
In the Grand Hall, Christine, seated in a wheelchair, looked at her father and, with an unsteady emotion, flashed a smile, saying,
“According to the Divine Oracle of the great Lord of the Lost, the ritual for the Seventh Tier ‘Reaper’s Blade’ is very simple and fits well with the Path of Tranquility… It requires the killing of three, exactly three ‘worthy’ enemies to ascend.”
She was a bit puzzled and muttered to herself, “Hmm, how should I understand what ‘worthy’ means? It feels like a very abstract concept.”
“Does it refer to Extraordinary powerful experts at the Monarch Level?”
“I know.”
Chris shook his head, his face expressionless, and said, “I have my own criteria.”
He had always had criteria.
Some people were worth killing, while others simply didn’t deserve death but needed to be eradicated, this criterion of “worthiness” isn’t even about strength, but something much more crucial.
For instance, the head of the Garcia family, whom Chris had once fought to the death with in the village, was in his heart an opponent worthy of killing. Though there were many stronger than the Garcia head, Chris knew very clearly that only such individuals were truly strong!
The simplest premise of strength, in fact, was the ability to carry out one’s own will with full force, unreservedly and recklessly expressing one’s caprices!
Indeed, Chris did want to murder those true strong individuals.
Even without the requirements of the elevation ritual, he had always thought as much.
It was precisely for this reason that Chris was a genius of the Path of Tranquility.
Standing to the side, Darren nodded, smiling as he said, “Then let Chris complete the ritual during the war. In a way, we are lucky. If it weren’t for this war… Chris would probably need much more time to complete the elevation ritual.”
“And according to the intelligence held by our Black Tide, the enemy has already decided to attack Cyart in three separate groups. In my view, this is a good thing… We can also concentrate our forces to defeat each enemy one by one!”
He could probably guess why the enemy didn’t unite all their forces to attack Nasir directly, likely because of the huge failures of the Stars Embrace Order and the Words of Tranquility before.
Christine immediately asked, “So, there are three enemy forces in total. Which should we defeat first?”
She thought for a moment and then added, “At sea, the power of the great Lord of the Lost can be far more effective, perhaps crushing the Carnian navy in an instant!”
Darren responded with a smile, “Yes, the Carnians are indeed too foolish. Although they possess theoretically strong capabilities, they ultimately chose to come from the sea… But they are unaware of the greatness of the Lord of the Lost, so this is our advantage in terms of information.”
However, just when Christine thought he would agree with her, Darren’s tone shifted, and he continued,
“But I think we should start with the Vallere army, which is closest to us. Based on the intelligence given by Felix, we are very clear about the internal situation of the Vallere army.”
Darren was very satisfied with Felix’s infiltration, as his son had still managed to provide all kinds of intelligence in spite of being under surveillance.
The inner realities of the Vallere army were now very clear, making them the easiest for them to defeat.
“Defeating one of the three strong enemy forces will fill the other two with fear, causing a severe drop in their overall morale,” he paused, then continued,
“After dealing with the Vallere army, if nothing unexpected happens, let’s go and take care of the Carnians at sea… We should resolve them before they land, because as you know, the great Lord of the Lost can wield much greater power at sea!”
“As for the eternal enemies of the Fischer family, the deadly foes… the Meyer family and the Rhea people…”
