Sovereign of the Firmaments

'It filled already?'

Lucas didn't expect the progress bar of the bonus mission would be filled that quickly.

'My 'Thunder knight's rage' is dealing more damage than it originally does. Is it because thunder attacks are the nemesis of the evil spirit beasts?'

Whenever he swung his short swords, some small lightning arcs would appear, dealing more damage to the evil spirit beasts. That's the reason why he was able to kill more than 100 evil spirit beasts in five minutes.

'However, the system is not counting the number of evil spirit beasts I killed, there was something else?'

Lucas thought about it; however, when he saw the rushing evil spirit beasts, he stopped thinking about it and focused on killing before asking the system, 'What reward did I unlock?'

'Ding,

 The host received a small lightning essence stone that can be merged with the weapons.

'Ding,

Do you want to merge with one of your short swords?

'Lightning essence stone? Do it.'

Since it was a thunder essence, Lucas didn't hesitate before merging the essence stone with one of his short swords.

'Ding,

The small lightning essence stone is successfully merged with the short sword.

'Ding,

The attacks from this weapon will generate small lightning arcs dealing 10 percent additional damage to the target.

'Let's see how much damage it will do now.'

'Slash'

With that thought in his mind, Lucas swung the short sword at evil werecats; however, he was shocked after seeing the damage.

Even though the system only said small lightning arcs, they were around one meter and even before his short sword could touch the targets, they were cleaved into two.

'Ding,

The host killed 24 rank 2 and 10 rank 3 evil spirit beasts.

'This is really powerful.'

It was just a single attack; however, he killed 34 evil spirit beasts.

Soon, Lucas became excited as he mostly used the short sword with lightning effect and lost himself with the massacre.

….

Among the young generation, other than Lucas, Beck was dealing the most damage to the evil spirit beasts with her five rank 3 spirit beasts.

Beck was not only a beast tamer but she was also talented in beast magic that could enhance the skills and battle prowess of her tamed spirit beasts.

So, even though all her spirit beasts were rank 3, they were able to fight the rank 4 evil spirit beasts, especially, the winged white lion, which was currently in its third transformation was sweeping all the evil spirit beasts.

"Knight champion."

"Knight's rage"

"Knight's rush"

"Knight's shout"

Just like before the Surge squad was using all their skills together to create a force that was capable of killing a rank 4 evil spirit beast in a couple of attacks.

They mostly fought the rank 4 evil spirit beasts while killing the rank 3 evil spirit beasts from time to time to lessen the burden on others who decided to stay back.

'Thunder slash'

Reece was like a flash moving around and leaving behind the corpse of the evil spirit beasts.

"Lightning storm"

As for Harper, he was standing on the back and using his powerful spell to clear the large group of evil spirit beasts near the entrance of the town.

'Huh? When did they become the general knight and general mage?'

As the team leaders of a good squad, Harper and Reece were known by everyone, especially the managers. So, they were shocked by the powerful skills and spells they used.

Before the barrier was activated, their strength was still at tier 5 lesser knight and lesser mage and they didn't show any sign of a breakthrough. So, of course, they were shocked.

'After Master upgraded my talent, I can use my powerful advanced spell 'Lightning storm' more than ten times.'

Harper gave the entire credit to Lucas because earlier he could one use that spell five times and he would be exhausted after that.

However, now, his mage rank upgraded to tier 1 general mage which improved his magic sea.

Even though they were younger than the managers of the adventurer's guild, they nearly had the same experience as they spent most of their time in the Wilderness.

Other than the Surge squad, there was another group of youngsters fighting the evil spirit beasts; however, they were only fighting the rann 2 evil spirit beasts and even for that, they were having difficulty.

'If only the other guilds and the top families helped, they might have taken care of the rank 5 evil spirit beasts. But those cowards.'

After seeing that the Hellmore family was not only taking care of a large group of evil spirit beasts but it motivated those who were left to defend the town.

Overall, as long as the rank 5 evil spirit beast didn't make a move, they could easily clear the other evil werecats.

'I hope, the guild masters of the adventurer's guilds from the other towns will come here in time.'

There was a reason why Managers were still able to maintain their calm even in a situation like this and it was they were confident in the reinforcements.

Until then, they were completely focusing on the rank 4 evil spirit beasts and were killing as many rank 3 and rank 2 evil spirit beasts as possible from time to time.

...

Time continued to pass as the number of evil spirit beasts in the Silverstone town started decreasing; however, there were still enough spirit beasts to make those fighting them shiver.

So, they continued to fight because the rank 5 evil spirit beasts, the Werecat King, didn't have any plans to join the fight.

'It is good that the rank 5 evil spirit beast is not joining the fight as my family good make more contributions.'

Even though the shadow dragon could join the fight to take care of the rank 5 evil spirit beasts and other spirit beasts, it would lessen the contributions of the Hellmore family as the shadow dragon's strength was high and even if it killed rank 3 spirit beasts, the heavens would not recognize the efforts made by them.

'Ding,

The host's shadow clones assassinated enough rank 3 evil spirit beasts.

'Ding,

The host's strength is upgraded to tier 5 lesser assassin.
