Chapter 105: Chapter 101 Harvest and Sacrifice

After the Tempest Priest arrived, his aged, murky eyes were filled with disbelief.

“You only lost seven guards, and then you killed this Extraordinary Exponent who had reached Level 2? Moreover, you said that Baron Byrne is currently not in Nasir?”

The supporters who had come to assist gathered outside Fischer Manor, exchanging perplexed glances over the body of the old man.

Irene nodded, responding with utmost calm, “That is indeed the case. He might have been one of those who lack combat experience, and his luck was not very good, either.”

How did they do it?

The old priest was extremely astonished inside. He was not very surprised that the Fischer family could deal with a Spellcaster who had undergone Transmutation.

But the fact that they had easily eliminated a Spellcaster of the Transmutation rank who launched a night attack was astounding.

Oh, Transmutation, he must accustom himself to the new terminologies of the reformists in the future.

Aaron and Knight Verne exchanged glances, equally surprised by the Fischer family’s strength being greater than it seemed.

They were well aware of one thing: the difference in preparedness greatly affected battles between Extraordinary Exponents, with the advantage of striking first being significant.

A Transmutation rank Extraordinary Exponent launching a surprise attack could theoretically annihilate the Fischer family, yet it was the formidable evil cultists who were easily killed by Fischer.

“Mr. Byrne really isn’t in Nasir?” the old priest couldn’t help but confirm this fact again and again; if Baron Byrne also had been present, everything would make sense.

“He’s not.” Irene shook her head, as there was no longer any need to hide the truth.

“Ah, alright, I understand, Madam Irene. I express my condolences for the victims in this incident. The power of the Tempest Overlord will seek vengeance for them sooner or later,” said the old priest, repeating the official platitudes, yet he grew even more wary of the Fischer family deep down, before he continued:

“Then, I will report the entire sequence of events at the earliest opportunity. The Assistant Priest may come to Nasir again.”

After pondering for a moment, Irene nodded, “Hmm, that should be around the time when Byrne is due back. They have a closer relationship.”

The Assistant Priest to the Tempest Bishop, that Priest Zayne, always interacted with Byrne rather than Irene when he visited Nasir Town.

Thus, if the Fischer family were to host him again, it would be best for Byrne to take responsibility.

Successfully killing an evil cultist of the Sea God Cult who had reached the rank of Transmutation brought great gains to the Fischer family.

They obtained a Treasure class Mysterious rare artifact, a Collectible class Mysterious rare artifact, and a magic beast that had two heads similar to a terrapin.

Since the Summoner had died, the summoned creature did not return to its habitat as usual but lingered on the East Coast instead.

This was a beast whose mobility was almost nonexistent, but its attack and defense capabilities far outstripped those of a high-level Beginning Bloodline Knight.

Although it fell short of a Bloodline Knight who had undergone Transmutation, what mattered most was that the beast’s temperament was very docile; if fed meat, it was willing to obey and could be kept in the family’s pond.

While nobody knew exactly what species the “two-headed terrapin” belonged to, it was presumed that Byrne would be able to name it upon his return.

Among the two harvested Mysterious rare artifacts, the first was a silver-looking brooch with silver lightning runes on its backside.

“Banishing Lightning,” it could automatically detect targets within a ten-meter radius that harbored lethal intent and threat, and then unleash lightning to obliterate them.

However, there would be a thirty-second interval before its Extraordinary effect could be activated again after each use.

This was a Treasure class Mysterious rare artifact, highly valuable indeed.

Irene decided to offer it to the revered Lord of the Lost, who had decreed that they no longer needed Collectible class Mysterious rare artifacts, whereas those of the Treasure class were still suitable offerings.

As for the second artifact, “evil wood,” it appeared as a black short staff, with Spiritual Power only at the Collectible level.

It was a weapon suitable for close to mid-range combat, capable of releasing a Lethality-inducing cloud of black poison upon a targeted enemy, while the bearer of the staff would be immune to the poison within the mist.

If Archibald had rashly approached the old man pretending to be dead, he would have been attacked by it!

Since there was no longer a need to offer Collectible class Mysterious rare artifacts, after contemplating, Irene ultimately decided to allocate this artifact to Vanessa.

She calmly spoke to the jubilant Vanessa:

“Vanessa, you’ve performed very well, not just staying inside the manor but collaborating with Chris and Archibald to decapitate the enemy.”

“Without your assistance, Chris wouldn’t have been able to interrupt him before another Summoning, and the subsequent situation might not have been so smooth.”

Vanessa was delighted, secretly coming to a realization.

Power and status stemmed from strength. Previously, she had not dared to harbour such thoughts, but now, if she could receive more blessings from the Lord of the Lost,

Perhaps, I too could possess power on par with the Transmutation rank.

It dawned on her, yes, both the head of the Fischer family and Lord Byrne had started as ordinary people!

They had achieved what they had from ordinary beginnings, and she was even luckier having the natural gift of a Spellcaster; it was not impossible to grasp even greater power!
