Chapter 388 New Rune Power!
Byrne's funeral was not held alone, but he was buried with the dead people in the entire city.
In the ancient town gently embraced by the morning light, an unprecedented grand funeral slowly began. It was not only a farewell to the glorious years of the deceased, but also a profound display of the unity of the Nasir people.
The sky seemed to be in mourning as well, with low-hanging clouds and drizzling rain, casting a hazy and sad veil over the solemn moment.
The streets were already lined with people who had come to see them off. They were dressed in dark clothes, holding flowers or wearing black veils to represent their grief, with reluctance written all over their faces and tears streaming down their faces.
The funeral started at Nasir's newly restored central square, which was carefully decorated into a sea of white. Thousands of pure white flowers surrounded the central altar, on which were placed portraits of many deceased people.
Melodious and mournful music echoed all around, and every note carried endless longing.
Darren, dressed in pure black, took a deep breath with a serious look.
"Time is up."
As the solemn bells rang, a funeral procession led by a black carriage decorated with black veil and white flowers slowly moved forward. Uniformed guards on both sides of the procession held spears and expressed their respect with the highest etiquette. People along the way spontaneously stopped, bowed their heads and shed tears in silence. Some even knelt on the ground and broke down in tears.
The Nasir people expressed their grief in the simplest and most sincere way.
Just as the team arrived at the cemetery, Darren looked up and saw that the sky suddenly cleared up. A ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and gently sprinkled on the numerous tombstones, as if it was the great god's last blessing to the deceased.
"The Lord of the Vast Storm will use his powerful strength to protect all of you..."
Amid Zain's low and powerful prayers, people from Nasir City came forward one by one and gently placed the flowers in their hands next to the tombstone. Each flower carried a memory.
Finally, with the roar of cannon salutes and the flying of pigeons, the grand funeral slowly came to an end.
Darren looked up at the sky for a long time before he lowered his head with a faint smile on his face.
"Father, please watch carefully."
"The Fisher family's reckoning with its enemies has not officially begun yet!"
——
"You mean, did they really win?"
Everyone in the Church of the Storm was in shock. They simply couldn't understand in their hearts how the Fisher family and the Roman family, two extraordinary noble families, could defeat the powerful Star Bearers and the Word of Silence?
Those two ancient and secretive sects have been a headache for even the Orthodox Church for many years.
Not only the Storm Church, but soon the Redemption Church and all other Orthodox Churches had heard of the Fisher Family's great name.
In just less than a month, all the countries in the Oden continent knew about this matter, and everyone remembered the name of a new family.
Fisher of Syat!
In the imperial palace of the Qiyao Empire.
"Fischer? I have heard of the Roman family. The Duke of Black Iron is a good person... As for Fischer?"
The God of War Emperor of the Seven Stars Empire was tall and straight, with long white hair that was like a work of art, bright and moving. He calmly read out the name "Fisherman" on the throne, his eyes flickering, as if he remembered some prophecy.
"Two families from a small country in the East were able to eliminate the Star Embrace Society and the Serenity Society, shocking the entire Oden Continent... It's simply incredible."
"Prince Conrad of Carnia is dead. Haha, his brother will definitely be furious. A new war is about to break out among the four eastern countries."
"The Lorn Council will soon know about Siat's situation, and they will most likely increase their investment in those 'chess pieces'."
He shook his head slowly and continued, "Well, give my letter to the King of Cania..."
"And a gift from me, one that will destroy Fisher and help him complete his revenge."
——
Not long after the funeral, the Fisher family began their long-awaited sacrifice.
The sacrifice was performed by Aqir, who had no experience in this field.
He had no experience, so he put in several times the effort, practiced privately countless times, and handled the entire sacrificial ceremony very well.
Thus, almost all of the dozens of precious forbidden artifacts that the Fisher family had obtained in the past ten years were sacrificed to the great Lord of the Lost.
Carl fully experienced what a "feast" was.
It’s like suddenly arriving at a buffet restaurant and seeing all kinds of colorful and fragrant delicacies, which are carefully placed on the staggered buffet display table, inviting you as the only guest to come and explore.
As he absorbed the first forbidden wonder, he felt like freshly caught oysters, scallops and prawns were neatly arranged on ice, sparkling with an alluring luster, paired with special lemon slices and cocktail sauce. It was juicy and delicious, with the freshness and sweetness of the ocean blooming in his mouth.
Then, the spiritual power that devoured the second forbidden artifact was like a chef skillfully flipping cod and steak, with the tender and juicy meat wrapped under the golden skin, making people salivate.
The third forbidden item, in his eyes, was like braised pork, bright red in color, fat but not greasy, and melted in the mouth.
The fourth one is like steamed fish, which is delicious and tender, retaining the purest taste of the ingredients...
The fifth, sixth, and seventh items looked like pizza, pasta, and roast chicken, respectively, and each one exuded a rich aroma of cheese and vanilla.
Carl ate the food almost crazily, really wanting to indulge in the intoxicating feeling.
“This experience is so wonderful…”
The remaining forbidden wonders are like a dazzling array of cakes, puddings, and ice creams. The chocolate mousse is delicate and silky, melting in the mouth; the tiramisu has distinct layers, with the aroma of coffee and cocoa intertwined; and there are colorful fruit tarts, a perfect combination of the sweetness of fresh fruit and the delicacy of cream.
Next, it’s time for the Fisher family to become collectively powerful!
In the magnificent hall beneath Fisher Manor, family members and high-ranking blood recipients of the Order of Dawn were all waiting to see the results of the sacrifice.
The family members who received the new rune power were Darren, Felix, Helen, Christine, Archie and Kano.
Although Kano left the Fisher family again, he brought back the important black slate from a foreign country alone and was the first major contributor to helping Carl wake up in time.
In any case, he cannot be excluded when it comes to rewarding people for their merits.
So Kano, who was far away in other provinces, obtained two different rune powers out of thin air at the same time.
The first rune power comes from Isabel, the "undercover agent of the Reforged Church" among the six monarchs of the Star-Bearing Society. It is a forbidden artifact in the shape of a steel arm, "Steel Attraction".
After converting it into rune power, Kano can activate it multiple times a day, absorbing and controlling all kinds of substances within several kilometers around him. The original cost was to consume a random one to ten years of life, but when it is converted into rune power for him, there is no cost.
Then he also obtained a new rune power, which was the forbidden item numbered 722 on Noah's body, the "Sword of Redemption", "Death Rewind", which was in the shape of a colorless bracelet.
It can be used passively once a year, allowing Kano to literally "come back from the dead".
Darren is the second family member to gain new rune power. Because he has the ability of "Black Tide" to erase supernatural powers, and he can ignore physical attacks, he is already very strong on the defensive side.
Therefore, he inherited his father Byrne's "Emerald Greatsword" to make up for the lack of attack power.
The "Emerald Greatsword" evolved into the spiritual rune "Emerald Ring".
It transformed from a giant sword into an emerald ring that could ignore defense and cut through things, and could move at high speed within several kilometers according to Darren's thoughts.
At the same time, the forbidden object on Prince Conrad was sacrificed, allowing Darren's original "Soul Dice" to evolve.
Become the spiritual rune "Soul Command".
He no longer needs to roll the dice, but can designate a relatively fair "game" by himself, and the rules and outcomes of the "game" will provide huge bonuses and penalties for both the enemy and us!
And then there's Felix.
His "Counter Shield" also evolved into the spirit rune "Counterattack Barrier".
As long as Felix calls upon the "Retaliation Barrier", he can support a huge invisible barrier with a range of hundreds of meters. He has three opportunities in a day to completely absorb and reflect the extraordinary power below the level of Apocalypse.
Carl transformed the "Golden Holy Grail" into a new rune and gave it to Helen.
She can directly summon five powerful elemental spirits to cause damage beyond that of an ordinary monarch, but Helen's spiritual power is currently insufficient, so she can only unleash its power once.
The reason why Carl gave the "Golden Holy Grail" to Helen was simple, because those elemental spirits were mysterious beings, and Helen, who had the destiny of the "Dream Man", could communicate with them.
"If they get along well enough, maybe I can get them to do more things in the future." Carl analyzed in his heart.
Perhaps, in the future Helen may become friends with those elemental spirits and become her summoned creatures more directly, rather than being summoned through the power of runes.
Christine obtains the rune power of "Falling Star".
Although under normal circumstances, as a rear-line personnel, she does not need to fight at all, but having the power of runes is still much better than having nothing.
Finally, the new high priest Aqir inherited the "Tree of Restoring Souls" passed down from generation to generation, and Carl also directly dismantled most of the forbidden objects carried by the Six Lords of the Star Society, the Silent One, the Silver Poet, and the Marquis Rad, and then used them all to upgrade the "Tree of Restoring Souls", which was originally a spiritual rune.
Finally, the spiritual fluctuations that surprised him suddenly unfolded!
The "Tree of Returning Souls" has been upgraded to its final form. There is no room for further evolution, and the extraordinary powers it possesses have reached an incredibly powerful level!
Supreme Rune!
"Sea of Source Spirit"!
