Chapter 275: Chapter 265: Preparations for Advancing to the 5th Step!

The effect of the “Prisoner of Purification” is to create a shimmering silver sphere that continously attracts and dissolves all designated matter in the vicinity, while its rays render most extraordinary powers ineffective.
Its weakness lies in the limited dissolving power of the silver sphere; as long as enough matter is dissolved, the silver sphere caused by the “Prisoner of Purification” will disappear without a trace.
The “Angel’s Cage,” a spirit rune based on a Forbidden rare artifact, undoubtedly possesses a force far more formidable than the “Prisoner of Purification”!
When “Angel’s Cage” is activated, it will completely consume the user’s remaining Spiritual Power and then create a polygonal silver cage, instantly stripping the chosen target within sight of their extraordinary power and rendering them immobile, unable to move even a finger.
As for how long the “Angel’s Cage” can last, that depends on the amount of Spiritual Power consumed by the user and the number of targets, as well as their strength.
If Chris were to use “Angel’s Cage,” he could trap and strip a low-level Monarch powerful expert of their powers for at least ten seconds!
For the mid-level Monarch powerful experts, the effect would probably last only about three to four seconds.
“Prisoner of Purification” was originally a Forbidden rare artifact with a three-digit number, and after being enhanced by Karl’s power, its might was further increased, making the present rune power “Angel’s Cage” comparable to those top Forbidden rare artifacts numbered in two digits.
The most important point is that it comes without any terrible price.
A look of uncertainty and doubt flashed in Chris’s eyes; he even vaguely felt that he could quite possibly join the Fischer family in a coordinated attack against weaker Monarch powerful experts.
He was lost in thought; there was only one recorded instance of a Monarch powerful expert being surrounded and killed by a Transmutation Extraordinary Exponent.
But the power contained in high-ranking Forbidden rare artifacts is so immense, it’s unimaginable what the single-digit numbered Forbidden rare artifacts could do. Since they only require any Extraordinary Exponent to use, there definitely have been more than one Monarch powerful experts historically who have been desperately replaced by the Transmutation Extraordinary Exponents!
At night, the banquet officially began.
The dinner was held in a brightly lit banquet hall, with round tables laden with a dazzling array of food and drinks, and the whole hall was adorned with elegant decorations and exquisite arrangements.
Each guest was dressed in formal attire, engaging in conversation with one another, creating a joyful atmosphere in the banquet hall.
The numerous servants of the Fischer family served wholeheartedly, performing each etiquette with great propriety.
The Daybreakers and Proselytes from Nasir Town also came to attend the banquet; Archibald embraced Chris and sobbed.
“You bastard, you finally came back!”
“I fucking missed you to death!”
“Damn it!”
Old Theo couldn’t help laughing as he hugged Byrne, who he had watched grow up since childhood.
“It’s good to have you back! Hahahaha! Fantastic!”
He took a deep breath, his eyes still brimming with laughter, and noticed the wrinkles on Byrne’s face, feeling somewhat pensive.
How many years had it been since he first taught that boy swordsmanship?
“It was hard on all of you.”
Byrne replied with a faint smile.
The leader of the Dagger Brotherhood, Moore, walked in and bowed respectfully.
“Congratulations on your safe return!”
As the banquet continued, a violinist sat in the corner, gracefully playing classical music, while the center stage was occupied by elegant dancers twirling gracefully.
The violinist was also a Daybreaker who had embarked on the Path of Wholeheartedness.
Compared to Inna, he had an even greater talent for the Path of Wholeheartedness, loved music very much, and was even planning to attend the best music academy.
However, that academy was in the distant Seven Stars Empire capital, up north.
The banquet went on until midnight, and after all the family’s servants had left, Byrne, eating fresh oysters and sheep’s milk cheese, calmly recounted the various events that he and Chris had experienced over the years.
“The past few years have been tough on you all, and actually, Chris and I have been through a lot as well.”
This time, his story was more detailed than what he had previously recounted, and there were more people listening.
However, many details were kept secret, such as the truth about Viscount Bast’s death.
Upon learning of the alliances formed between the Fischer family and several other great families, everyone present couldn’t help but get excited, and Archibald, Theo, and Moore, among others, all showed joyful expressions, their eyes alight with laughter.
But Byrne omitted the specific details, not revealing what he had sacrificed, but simply stating that he had made some sort of trade with certain things.
Darren frowned, vaguely sensing that the specific content of the trade was important, otherwise it wouldn’t have been omitted from the discussion. Suddenly, the lobster pasta in his hand didn’t taste as good as before.
Hearing the final Words of Tranquility incident, everyone fell into contemplation; Lilian murmured to herself:
“The Words of Tranquility Order?”
She pondered and after the banquet was completely over, in the basement of the family home, she talked with Chris and Byrne about the most pressing matter.
“During the time you were absent, I actually received a very important divine prophecy.”
Byrne looked at his daughter, asking, “What is it? Lilian.”
Lilian said with a serious expression:
“It came from our great Lord of the Lost, concerning the specific content of the rituals for the first five ranks of the God Pantheon stairway!”
