From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

```

Moreover, the quantity of building constructions for the town's expansion was numerous, covering a land area more than two to three times larger than the original area from decades ago.

Apart from the original eastern, western, southern, and northern districts, the Fischer family had established four new planned areas in Nasir for the incoming population from various places along the East Coast to move in and reside.

Somehow, more and more people began to refer to Nasir Town as Nasir City.

When Nasir citizens discussed Fein City, they no longer expressed any envy and some even started to look down on the inhabitants of other towns to some extent.

However, up to now, the Fischer family still hadn't officially announced that Nasir had become a city.

In those five years, the Fischer Manor was also expanded while retaining the original structures, and now it was significantly larger than before in terms of usable area.

The expansion went very smoothly, mainly due to the critical role played by a Daybreaker, the clockmaker from Fein City, Owen, who had reached the 3rd Rank of the Path of Forging, "Sculptor".

The image of the "Sculptor" in the Spirit Realm is an old man engrossed in carving stone, emitting a faint green glow all over.

The "Sculptor" enhanced their physical attributes by 30 and Spiritual Power by 40.

They gained two extraordinary abilities, which were "Barehand Blade" and "Stone Sculpting".

"Barehand Blade" allowed the Sculptors' hands to become as sharp as a blade and very precise and flexible, capable of performing various ingenious operations.

As for "Stone Sculpting", it involved using Spiritual Power to create one stone golem puppet after another, then issuing commands to them and directing them to work.

The "stone golem puppets" were impervious to blades and had the combat power equivalent to high-level Beginning Extraordinary Exponents; they would continue to operate for a day and a night before stopping, and as long as they were infused with Spiritual Power, they would maintain their active state.

Any Extraordinary Exponent with the Power of Consecution could activate the stationary "stone golem puppets", which would then obey the activator's commands.

Owen used the various capacities from the Path of Forging, along with the round-the-clock help of the "stone golem puppets", to complete the expansion of Fischer Manor in a short time. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

The underground sacrifices were also smoothly expanded, with a much larger area than before.

Tonight, another sacrifice was successfully carried out.

Upon leaving the basement, Darren entered the great hall, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and sensed clearly the immense power he had received.

"Black Knight…"

He revealed a pleased smile, feeling deep inside that even though he wasn't a knight, his heart had indeed become dark.

The image of the "Black Knight" in the Spirit Realm is that of a Black Knight birthed from darkness, gender unknown, with a sword in hand from which red blood continuously flowed.

After becoming a Black Knight, Darren's physical attributes increased by 150, and Spiritual Power by 50, and he obtained two powerful Extraordinary traits.

"Black Armor", as a Black Knight, Darren could consume Spiritual Power to transform into dark armor, greatly enhancing his attack and defense capabilities.

"Black Tide", he could expend Spiritual Power to unleash a pitch-black force that completely nullifies the Extraordinary powers of those not much stronger than himself.

In simple terms, Monarchs and Extraordinary powers below the 5th Rank could all be invalidated by Darren.

These were two simple yet very practical Extraordinary powers.

Moreover, as his Bloodline Power had broken through to the level of low-level Transmutation and, combined, Darren's strength was undoubtedly among the top tier below the Monarchs.

What he lacked in rune power was certainly not much less than what Chris once had!

"Congratulations, Lord Darren, we have together climbed this ladder,"

Yeager stood beside with a smile, extending his good will toward Darren.

Having become a "Commander," he couldn't help but look at his own palms, feeling the transformation, the excitement deep in his heart like surging waves, unable to calm down.

The image of a "Commander" in the Spirit Realm was that of an ambitious middle-aged military officer, radiating golden-red light from head to toe and standing on a lion.

His physical fitness had increased by 100, and his Spiritual Power had also increased by 100.

Beyond that, "Commander" Yeager had gained four Extraordinary powers, namely "Issue Command," "Target Lock," "Boost Morale," and "Targeted Strike."

The "Commander" could "Issue Command" to Strengthen the humans within his line of sight.

The specific extent of enhancement depended on the amount of Spiritual Power expended, and anyone who had been Strengthened by "Issue Command" could hear the "Commander's" mental transmission, no matter where they were.

The "Commander" could "Target Lock" on a target in his line of sight, and thereafter, both he and all Enhanced Extraordinary Exponents could discern the target's location and render the target's invisibility and other disguising capabilities ineffective.

"Boost Morale" allowed all the Enhanced Extraordinary Exponents to shake off their current abnormal states, such as various Mental Magic spells.

The last Extraordinary power, "Targeted Strike," enabled the "Commander" to select a target within his line of sight to focus on, allowing all Enhanced Extraordinary Exponents to largely ignore the target's defenses when attacking.

Upon hearing this, Darren couldn't help but complain, looking at the always smiling Yeager and said, "The abilities you've gained are as complex as my father's, headache-inducing."

Yeager looked at his hands with fascination, as if beholding the Extraordinary powers he had received.

"Fascinating powers, aren't they? As long as His Excellency Bain and I fight side by side, a 'Commander' combined with a 'Monarch' could create an invincible combat force,"

"Moreover, we have many strong and powerful 'pieces'."

The white-haired Bain emerged with a notebook in hand, silently jotting down the abilities of the two men with a nod of approval.

"Not bad."

With great respect, Yeager bowed and said:

"His Excellency Bain, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity granted to me by the Fischer family, allowing me to receive the mighty power blessed by the Lord of the Lost."

Bain nodded and replied, "This is the reward for your continued efforts, Yeager. I know about your contributions to the Dawn Church and the Fischer family, and so does the great Lord of the Lost."

He calmly looked at the two men and slowly said:

"Seeing you both catch up fills me with joy deep in my heart. Even if I do not succeed in reaching the 5th Rank and returning to the side of the great Lord, I can rest easy."

Darren fell into deep silence, while Yeager smiled and said:

"Please don't say that, His Excellency Bain. I have always admired you and followed in your footsteps. A person like you can absolutely reach the 5th Rank!"

Bain remained non-committal.

He knew his body was aging more and more.

Bain could even vaguely sense that he had less than ten years of life left. If he could not fully grasp the Power of Consecution of the "Monarch" in his final years,

his future would cease to exist.
