[Nikolas the High-Rank Archaic Spirit has advanced to the Pinnacle-Rank Archaic Spirit!][Nikolas receives a new title, Nikolas the Knight of the Tangu Knight Order!]
[Mathias the High-Rank Archaic Spirit has advanced to the Pinnacle-Rank Archaic Spirit!]
[Mathias receives a new title, Mathias the Knight of the Tangu Knight Order!]
[Ruben the High-Rank Archaic Spirit has advanced to the Pinnacle-Rank Archaic Spirit!]
[Ruben receives a new title, Ruben the Knight of Tangu Knight Order!]
It was not just Gianni, but Nikolas, Mathias, and Ruben also advanced and received the same title. Calling them his knight seemed to influence their advancement. Of course, there was more to it. They needed the conviction to serve, the dedication, and he wondered where these five convictions came from.
He understood Jovrick’s situation, but not with the other four. The former Hurakan Kingdom Legion forsook their old allegiance and served him. The only reason he could think of why they chose to serve him was because of his fight against the Void Cult.
It was their Legion’s duty to protect the Void Gate. Now they not only protect, but also fight and maybe would have the chance to wipe out the Void Cult.
The only change was not their allegiance; their armor also changed, no longer having the Hurakan Legion’s insignia on their armor and cape. The new black-gold cape had the Tang Empire’s emblem and a brand new insignia of the Tangu Knight Order.
The difference between Gianni and these three was that they didn’t have floating spears. Nikolas and Mathias obtained a new spear. Nikolas had one spear, and Mathias was dual-wielding his spears.
Ruben kept his shield and sword, a classic combination for a knight. Of course, he got brand new equipment as well. Ruben kept saying that he was just a normal soldier and didn’t deserve to be a knight.
"Now I have a knight order under me. I will have a new military force under me once I revive them," Tang Shaoyang found it amusing. That was not planned, but expanding his military force was essential if they ever expand their territory in the God Realm.
That was for later to think about because for now the Empire just wants to establish its ground. They didn’t need to expand now when they already had enemies.
Tang Shaoyang put the thoughts aside and looked toward the remaining materials. Ruben was the thirteenth advancement, and he still had a lot of piles of corpses. Zara had taken all the materials out of all nine storages.
"I think we have enough for two or maybe three more advancements."
"Should be easy. Call Artras here and get him to Pinnacle-Rank. You can leave our daughters at ease with a Pinnacle-Rank Archaic Spirit staying in her shadow." Avyn made a suggestion.
Artras, the Shadow of Abyss, was the spirit tasked to protect his daughters. He never recalled Artras back to the Spirit World. His Energy Regeneration was enough to keep Artras and Glodden up all the time.
There was Glodden as well, but Glodden was one of the latest additions to the Spirit. It was fairer for Artras to get the advancement first.
Tang Shaoyang could not agree more. He recalled Artras, which surprised the spirit, but then he summoned again right after. Artras was a five-meter-tall wolf. His fur was made of shadow, fluttering in the wind. It was confused for a moment, but it lowered its head once it saw its Master.
"You will advance to the Pinnacle Rank, but your duty will remain the same!"
"I understand, Master!"
He no longer wasted time on nonsense as he activated the Spirit Advancement. The materials disappeared as the Artras was covered in a cocoon made of shadow. The cocoon floated two meters above the ground and released an ominous sound.
The cocoon vibrated as the shadow formed something like the wolf’s fur, covering the cocoon surface. Then the ominous sound stopped as the cocoon stabilized. It stayed like that for a few minutes.
Once it hit the ten-minute mark, the cocoon cracked from the top, going down before splitting up. The moment it split, shadow spread out. It formed like when Lu An did the Shadow Domain. The whole area turned into shadow, blinding sight inside the shadow.
All Tang Shaoyang could see was pitch darkness, the shadow. It was similar to, or maybe the same as, Lu An’s shadow domain. That only lasted for ten seconds as the shadow was sucked into one point, where Artras was.
Artras’s body seemed to be turning into shadow, almost having no physical body, but he still maintained the wolf’s form. He was just bigger, almost nine meters tall, and for once, a horn didn’t grow.
[Artras the High-Rank Spirit has advanced to the Pinnacle-Rank Archaic Spirit!]
[Artras receives a new title, Artras the Shadow Lord!]
Vandir looked at him, clearly asking him about Artras’s new title. Instead of answering him, he shared the notification. He forgot that he could do it instead of answering the skeletons one by one.
"Shadow Lord, huh? It’s fitting..." That was the only remark that came from the Death King.
"You can go back to continue guarding my daughters again. If you need a place to adjust to your newly gained power, go to a place with no people around!"
"Yes, Master!"
Artras’s figure fluttered, dissipating along with the wind as if he were blown by the breeze. The way he left was quite cool, Tang Shaoyang admitted.
"For the rest, advancement is your choice, Boss. You can only advance one or two more with the remaining materials. It only makes sense for you to make the choice."
Vandir was done picking up the spirit to advance. The two women agreed with the skeleton as well.
"Then Malki it is. Don’t be disappointed in others. We will gather more materials by tomorrow," Tang Shaoyang said. His pick was based on the length of the contract, while reminding the other spirits that they would get their turn eventually.
Malki was one of the earliest Spirit Contractors, Malki the Inferno Blade Emperor. He was formerly the King of the Ant Monster Colony he defeated. The colony that had a King instead of a Queen.
He summoned Malki, who stood on his two hind legs and had four mantis-like blades. His abdomen was crimson, and he had four transparent wings and four long antennae.
"Then we will proceed right away, Malki!"
"Yes, Master!"
The materials burst into bright orange energy, moving toward Malki and covering him in a cocoon. The cocoon floated two meters from the ground as the bright orange energy transformed into magma. It was fortunate that the magma didn’t drip down, so Zara didn’t need to open the Void Gate for disposal.
