Sovereign of the Firmaments

Upgrading someone else' talent to such a high grade was a heaven-defying thing.

Even she, who had the system, could not do such a thing without the help of the talent crystal.

So, of course, she was shocked.

'Ding,

        Reece and Harper have successfully become the Sovereign's henchmen and their Knight talent has been upgraded to Duke grade.

"Master, thank you for such a valuable gift."

Just as Lucas got the system notification, both Reece and Harper kneeled on a single knee as they thanked Lucas.

"I hope you will not make me regret my decision."

With a calm look on his face, Lucas said those words.

"We will definitely prove ourselves, master."

Unlike Porter and others, Harper and Reece haven't proven themselves to Lucas or the Hellmore family yet; however, they received such a valuable gift. So, they were very serious when they said those words.

'Finally, it's done. As for the remaining slot, I can wait until these evil spirit beasts are cleared.'

Lucas silently thought in his head and next, his eyes landed on the youngster brought by Reece and Harper.

"You are Joshua, right?"

"Yes, family head."

"So, are you willing to keep your promise?"

Lucas asked the stout young man named Joshua who promised Lucas that as long as he saved Martha, he would do anything for Lucas and his family.

"I will, family head."

In Joshua's heart, Lucas became his idol after saving Martha from the Grayeye family. So, just like he promised, he was ready to do anything that Lucas asked.

"What about you?"

Next, he looked at the remaining youngsters behind Joshua as he carefully observed the eyes of everyone.

He was checking whether they truly wanted to join his family or just following the sheep mentality.

"Please accept us, family head."

After seeing that even their idols, Harper and Reece became the followers of the young man in front of them and after seeing how he improved their talents with a thought, there was no hesitation in their eyes as they replied in unison.

"Are you sure? We might even die against the evil spirit beast's invasion as I have no plans to run away? So, if you want to live, then you can freely go now."

The entire situation of these evil spirit beasts was truly under Lucas' control and he wanted to use the current situation to test the loyalty of the initial members of the family.

"We want to follow the family head and become powerful to avenge the deaths of our parents."

Except for Joshua, the remaining 12 members seriously replied to Lucas at the same time, making Lucas satisfied.

"If I ever find out that you betray the family, I will make sure you regret coming into this world."

With a serious warning, Lucas made everyone shudder as he continued, "So, let's get to the main business. Everyone close your eyes and don't resist my power."

Even though they were fearful of Lucas's cold look earlier, they knew they could become powerful as long as they followed him.

Soon, they followed Lucas' words and closed their eyes.

'System, I am using the reward from the mission 'Save Martha'. Awaken the random talents in them.'

Without wasting any time, Lucas ordered the system to awaken the talent in the youngsters.

'Ding,

      Randomly awakening the new talents and enhancing the already existing talents in the youngsters.

As soon as the system notification came to Lucas' head, the 13 youngsters' bodies started glowing with red colour light.

'Huh? Directly Earl grade talent? I wonder what professions' talents are they getting?'

This time, Lucas didn't know what type of profession they would awaken as the system clearly mentioned it was a random talent.

….

At the entrance of the Silverstone town.

As Lucas was using all the rewards he got from the system to enhance the strength of his family, the number of evil spirit beasts coming out of the portal increased to the next level.

Unlike before, except for the five managers along with some of the loyal members of the adventurer's guild and some young family heads who established their families recently were making their own preparations to fight back the evil spirit beasts.

'I can't go back to the family until I prove myself.'

'How can I go back after losing everything. I will become the laughing stock in the main family.'

These were the thoughts in their heads as they didn't have any plans to leave everything behind.

As for all the guilds in the town, they were just waiting for the barrier to get destroyed. So that they could live from here and open their respective guilds in the other towns.

'Kacha'

'Kacha'

Soon, cracks started appearing on the barrier and those who decided to fight back the evil spirit beasts started having second thoughts.

However, unlike the top families or guilds, they knew they could not outrun the evil spirit beasts with their current strengths.

"Everyone, get ready to fight back. The adventurer's guild from the royal city had already dispatched a tier 5 higher knight. All we have to do is to survive."

The managers of the adventurer's guild shouted trying to increase the morale of those who were willing to fight back instead of running away.

However, that didn't increase the morale of anyone as everyone knew it was impossible for a tier 5 higher knight to reach their town in time even if they used a rank 5 fastest flying spirit beast.

....

Inside the Raindrop manor.

'Ding,

        Awakening of the random talents in the 13 youngsters has been finished.

Soon, the awakening process had finished and without wasting any time, Lucas asked about their newly awakened talents.

"Family head, I awakened an Earl grade talent in 'Summoning' and my previous Baron grade talent in 'Knight profession' has been upgraded to Earl grade."

Joshua was the first one to come forward to reply to Lucas, making Lucas pleasantly surprised.

'Interesting. Not only did he awaken a rare talent but his first talent was also upgraded.'

Soon, Lucas looked at others hoping they also awakened talent in some good attacking professions.
