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.”

“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.
