From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty - Chapter 143:
Chapter 143: Chapter 137: The Third Seal!
The Fischer family suffered heavy casualties, yet the loot they acquired was unprecedentedly enormous.
Two treasure-class mysterious rare artifacts, one forbidden-class mysterious rare artifact, as well as a Tempest Church’s sailboat, two servings of Class 3 Extraordinary Material, five servings of Class 2 Extraordinary Material, seventeen servings of Class 1 Extraordinary Material, and lastly, a considerable amount of Gold Coins and banknotes!
The excruciating pain disappeared, and Irene gradually regained consciousness, sitting in place very confused and disoriented.
She had always wanted to sacrifice herself and had prepared herself for it early on.
When the family faced a crisis, she was certainly the one who should have died, but why, why had she not died yet?
“Could it be, Lord of the Lost, that this is also your arrangement for me?”
Irene felt very lost, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
Suddenly, she heard a malicious whisper in the depths of her heart.
[Their family possesses very special power, which may be related to the heretical cult. Should I report it to the Salvation Church’s teacher for an investigation…]
[If I don’t get that forbidden relic, my father died in vain, in which case, I will definitely report them to the teacher! Even if I guessed wrong, I still want to disgust them!]
Byrne finally controlled his grief and soon saw Baron Vaughn’s daughter step forward, asking for a share of the Sea God priest’s spoils of war.
“My father, the head of our household, died in battle, making the ultimate sacrifice! That powerful forbidden rare artifact should be handed over to the Vaughn family!”
Baron Vaughn’s daughter’s eyes were red, tears streaming down her face, and she demanded boldly without hesitation.
Who doesn’t lose people in their family?
Byrne wanted to curse, but his generous nature also made him understand the other party’s feelings, and after all they were allies in battle, so he just shook his head and said as calmly as possible:
“I’m sorry, Miss Vaughn, we can divide everything else with you, but that forbidden relic must be obtained by our family.”
Suddenly, Irene shouted sternly, “She’s going to report us! We can’t leave her alive!”
Byrne was stunned for a moment, looking at Baron Vaughn’s daughter in front of him, whose face quickly showed surprise and fear.
Irene possessed the ability of Listening for Malice, so what she said was absolutely true.
He suddenly felt a voice cheering loudly from the depths of his oppressive and angry heart!
It was as if it was saying, great, fortunately that woman from the Vaughn family thought this way!
What to do?
There was only one option—to kill!
“Wait!”
The atmosphere instantly turned tense, and Baron Vaughn’s daughter shouted nervously, just about to negotiate further when she felt engulfed in blazing fire, her body wrapped in orange flames, screaming in terror and pain.
“Ah!”
Before she could counterattack, Byrne’s icy voice was heard again.
“The night has come.”
Then a black light flew out from Byrne’s body, and in the next moment, “Nightfall” swept across her neck, severing her head.
The Vaughn family soldiers were terrified, instinctively grabbing their flintlocks to fire, while the Fischer family soldiers also opened fire.
Members from both sides fell.
The very next moment, the Vaughn family soldiers were enveloped in raging fire, screaming as they fell to the ground, and those who tried to surrender had no chance.
Byrne’s eyes were bloodshot, his expressionless face controlling the roaring flames, easily taking the lives of the people around him.
All the people from the Vaughn family were killed, not a single one was spared.
Irene busily treated Chris’s injuries, then the rest of the family members, mourning for Erik’s death as well.
Byrne sat exhausted on the beach, staring blankly at the horizon, without moving for a long time.
He was tired.
The Fischer family’s spoils of war increased once more, and after confiscating the Vaughn family’s spoils of war, they obtained another treasure-class mysterious rare artifact and two collectible-class mysterious rare artifacts.
Finally, a revived Chris found a letter on the Sea God Cult’s ship, hidden extremely secretively, preserved in a desk’s hidden compartment in a blank letter.
Byrne deciphered the letter’s material, then soaked it in seawater, as the words gradually revealed themselves on the paper.
After reading the letter, his expression changed.
It was a letter from “Priest Azure Blue” to “Sage Dark Blue,” and the most useful part read like this.
“Those witch worshippers and the bastards who like to look at stars make me sick, but I’ve already sent them what they want. I hope that after this matter, we no longer have any dealings with those people!”
Suddenly, everything connected!
“So that’s how it is, the three heretical cults were secretly in cahoots, and Madam Spirit Essence is also one of them. Hmm, there might even be people from within the Tempest Church involved in this transaction, resulting in the near-annihilation of the Cyart people.”
Byrne gazed far at Erik’s collected corpse, the anger swelling irresistibly in the depths of his heart!
Last Blood! Stars Embrace Order! Sea God Cult! Traitors from the Tempest Church!
They were all enemies of the Cyart people, and moreover, enemies of the Fischer family! They were all man-eating demons, and the Fischer family would eventually send them to hell!
The family’s soldiers continued to repair the ships on the beach, while the core members of the Fischer family gathered on the mountaintop, deciding to immediately offer the sacrifices they had just obtained.
Chris’s severed arm and leg were once again strenuously healed by Irene, and after his recovery, he remained silent.
Byrne, Irene, Chris, Theo, and Archibald’s emotions were all extremely complex, filled with both sadness and anger, feeling an overwhelming torrent of emotions that they were unable to vent.
Of the eleven extraordinary individuals who set out to sea, they thought they were catching the victorious end of a war, yet now only five of them had the chance to return alive.
Even Archibald, the most talkative among them, had trembling lips and couldn’t utter a single word.
Eric and he were from the Daybreak Orphanage, and according to Yeager, both of them were “Daybreakers.” In the past, he did not feel any form of collective identity, but now his heart was filled with grief and indignation.
“Oh great Lord of the Lost,”
After Irene began speaking while kneeling on the ground, she paused, simply not knowing how to communicate with the great Him.
Now her emotions were incredibly complex, her inner reliance on God growing even greater, the sorrow already uncontrollably surging forth.
“Please, pay more attention to us. The Fischer family is weak and powerless, the world is so cruel and unforgiving, like a terrifying beast, always ready to devour everyone.”
“If we cannot gain more power, we will eventually become just dust in history.”
The new four Mysterious rare artifacts, one Forbidden rare artifact, and three Treasure class rare artifacts were all sacrificed by the Fischer family to the great Lord of the Lost.
Karl gazed at Eric’s soul rising into the highest whirlpool in the sky and realized that he also had a “connection” with it. It appeared that not only the devout, but the souls of all Blood Receivers had some association with him.
However, he still could not understand what use that “connection” of souls might have.
The offering had been presented!
One Forbidden rare artifact, “Fallen Meteor,” and three Treasure class rare artifacts, “Reverse Stab,” “Core Ring,” and “Enchanted Canvas”!
Karl felt an overwhelming amount of Spiritual Power rushing towards him, a vast and unprecedented amount, the intense sensation of fulfillment almost instinctually surging forth.
He couldn’t help but be filled with joy!
The third Seal!
Breakthrough!
Suddenly, Karl experienced an excruciating headache as vast memories emerged, seemingly a combined amount larger than the previous two times, an insane torrent gushing forth!
He even wanted to buffer it a bit, but was completely unable to suppress the deluge of memories!
The Fischer family kneeling at the mountaintop were stunned!
“The sky has been torn apart!”
They widened their eyes, looking up to see the azure sky gradually being ripped open, while the vast expanse of dark space beyond the clouds, and the many stars that filled them with unease and horror, were revealed.
The black cross inside the transparent bottle was rising into the midair, emitting intense black light. On the island, aside from the core members of the Fischer family, everyone else fell into unconsciousness instantaneously.
It was a black light that seemed to herald the destruction of all things, filling people with the feeling that they too would vanish in the collapse.
Meanwhile, strange signs were occurring almost everywhere in the world.
On the other side of the world, a giant ice glacier that divided the world was shaking violently, with large chunks of ice falling off as if some terrifying thing was about to burst out from within.
Countless people living near the great glacier were filled with terror, desperately kneeling down, praying to the great deities, hoping that the ancient gods would not awaken from within the glacier!
Only a few powerful experts could sense that the “Untouchable existence” within the great glacier seemed to be trembling.
Across the Claud World, all the Heavenly Enlightenment powerful experts felt a terrifying threat.
They were filled with immense fear, as if the entire world could crumble and dissolve at any moment.
Every Heavenly Enlightenment expert understood that the source of this aura spelled destruction, demise, the end of everything, and that everything would cease to exist with His arrival!
“What in the world is that? It’s full of fear, despair, destruction…”
“Something truly incomprehensible has appeared!”
“It is an element of world destruction! The world is moving closer to complete annihilation! We must find His believers!”
“Is it Him mentioned in the last oracle of the Lord of Salvation?”
A genius strong enough to break through to the Heavenly Enlightenment Level in the Spirit Realm, who was at a critical juncture after the family’s effort of hundreds of years, also felt the dread, was significantly affected, and his soul dissipated into nothingness.
As Karl’s transformation affected everything in the world, above the island, he finally gradually absorbed all newly formed memories and suddenly gazed ahead!
Karl gradually saw invisible threads connecting each person.
Destiny’s Trajectory!
And now, he was capable of pulling on destiny, even changing it!
[I have received the offering!]
[Destiny, thus, is pulled once more!]
[The Fischer family will surely gain even greater power!]
As the sky was torn and the earth trembled, he stared at the Fischer family kneeling at the mountaintop and suddenly found that most people had no special Destiny’s Trajectory. Only Byrne was different from the others.
“Treasure Key.”
It was a destiny that could be “utilized,” the bearers of which were more likely to break through various “gates.” However, it required the holders to willingly sacrifice their lifespan to fully unleash its greatest strength.
“So that’s it.”
He suddenly understood why that fellow named Bast was so concerned about Byrne, even lending him parts of the Forbidden rare artifact he possessed.
