Free Web NovelChapter 80: Higher Ceiling
[Evolved Title: Demon Slayer
Evolution Requirement (Completed): Personally defeat a Greater Demon while being at a lower rank than the target.
Descriptions: A title granted to those who have accomplished the unlikely feat of slaying a true demon through skill, determination, and courage. The bearer is recognized as a proven threat to demonic forces and has gained practical experience combating creatures far beyond ordinary opponents.
Effects: +10% Damage Against Demon-type Entities, +20% Resistance to Fear Effects, +10% Resistance to Corruption Effects
Passive Ability: Demonic Presence Detection
It allows the bearer to sense nearby demonic energy with greater accuracy than a Demon Investigator.
You can detect active demons, corrupted creatures, demonic rituals, and areas affected by infernal influence.
Limitation: Detection effectiveness decreases against high-ranking demons and this does not reveal exact locations.
Hidden Effect: Proven Demon Hunter
Demons instinctively recognize the bearer as a genuine threat. Weak demons may hesitate or become cautious. Certain demons may prioritize eliminating the bearer. Demon-related NPCs react differently to the title.]
Max’s first impression was how long it was. He didn’t complain and read them thoroughly without skipping or skimming through them.
Max grinned. He had the greatest weapon against the demon.
This title will definitely help me eliminate them.
Max was satisfied. With the Demon Slayer title, no demons could escape his senses.
If a Greater Demon confronted him again, he would certainly not run between his tails.
It was because of the Radiant Conclave Class.
After he was satisfied reading the Demon Slayer title, he expanded to his status and focused on the Radiant Conclave (SSS).
[Class: Radiant Conclave (SSS)
Overview: The Radiant Conclave is an SSS-Class Hidden Legacy that replaces the standard Summoner progression path. Unlike conventional Summoners who form contracts with a single creature lineage, the Radiant Conclave establishes a contract with an entire evolving species known as the Radiant Knights. The summoner does not command beasts, spirits, undead, or elementals. Instead, they become the central authority of a growing military civilization composed of autonomous Radiant entities. As the legacy develops, the summoner progresses from commanding a single knight to commanding an immortal nation-sized legion.]
Max was surprised to read the last sentence in the overview.
He frowned and ruminated.
After a while, he finally relaxed his eyebrows.
I’m only at C-rank now. If I reset to D-Rank after following the normal procedure, I might only have a single Radiant Knight.
Thank you, David. Thank you, Greater Demon. Thank you self for dying...
Max was so exhilarated he didn’t hold back his words.
Max then continued reading.
[Radiant Contract Authority: The fundamental power of Radiant Conclave. This allow the summoner to create Radiant Knight contracts, strengthen contracted knights, coordinate large formations, establish command hierarchy, and maintain legion-scale summoning.
Authority becomes the primary scaling stat alongside Intelligence.]
When Max read the description of Radiant Contract Authority, he finally understood the knowledge that had been implanted into his mind after inheriting the legacy.
Unlike ordinary Summoners, he did not need to seek out creatures and establish contracts individually. The Radiant Conclave had already engraved the entire Radiant Knight Lineage into his soul. Countless dormant contracts existed within him, waiting to be awakened.
As his level and rank increased, his Authority would grow stronger, unlocking additional contracts and allowing him to command larger numbers of Radiant Knights.
Only then did he understand the final sentence.
Intelligence determined the strength of his knights, while Authority determined the size and quality of the legion he could command. Together, they formed the foundation of the Radiant Conclave.
The realization immediately eased one of his concerns. Unlike most classes that required investment across multiple combat attributes, the majority of his growth would come from Intelligence and Authority alone.
Max was finally enlightened.
He continued to read.
[Radiant Knight Species: All summons belong to a single evolving lineage—the Radiant Knights.
Classification: Divine construct, Contract Spirit, and Authority Entity.
Military Branches: Four (Warrior Corps, Ranger Corps, Mage Corpse, and Support Corps).
Passive Skills: Summoning Mastery, Mana Link
Descriptions: You’ve inherited the legacy passive skills, but they are transformed into the Summoner’s basic two passive skills—Summoning Master, Mana Link. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Summoning Mastery: The Summoner possesses complete mastery over the Radiant Knight Lineage and its contract system. This skill allows the creation and maintenance of Radiant Knight contracts while strengthening all contracted knights based on the Summoner’s Intelligence and Authority. The bond between summoner and knight automatically deepens as the Summoner grows stronger, causing Radiant Knights to develop alongside their master without requiring independent progression. As the Summoner’s rank advances, higher-tier knight evolutions and additional lineage capabilities become available.
Mana Link: The Summoner is connected to all contracted Radiant Knights through the Conclave Network, creating a persistent mental and magical connection between every unit in the legion. This link reduces the mana required to maintain active knights while allowing seamless communication, coordination, and battlefield synchronization. As the Summoner’s Authority grows, the network becomes increasingly efficient, enabling larger formations, more complex command structures, and legion-scale operations without overwhelming the summoner.]
Max paused and contemplated. He comprehended deeply what he had read, especially the passive skills.
In other words, the higher the rank, the stronger my Authority.
For some reason, Max believed there was still more about Authority to explore.
Nevertheless, the fundamental knowledge he needed to know about it was already explained by the system.
Max skipped reading the active skills first as he continued at the Rank Progression.
[Current Rank: C
Title: Radiant Conjuror
Level Rank: 100-250
Maximum Summons: 12 Radiant Knights
Standard Composition: 4 Warriors, 3 Rangers, 3 Mages, 3 Support
Focus: Squad-level Command.]
Max focused on the title.
So, every rank progression means a title has gained. The title can also convey the level of Authority I have.
Max began to develop his understanding on the SSS-Class Radiant Conclave.
Max shook his head and chuckled.
I only heard S-Class from those who reached S-Rank.
I never thought about gaining an SSS-Class at all.
S-Rank is already the highest the humanity achieved and they are able to build a sanctuary amidst the billions of demons trying to conquer the world.
Yet, SSS-Rank. freewebnøvel.com
That surely is a higher ceiling for me to reach...
