Sovereign of the Firmaments

"It\'s Heavens\' acknowledgement of his contributions."

Manager Carl, who was more knowledgeable among all those who were present at the scene, said with a surprised look on his face.

\'Heaven\'s acknowledgement?\'

Everyone was shocked as they looked at Lucas who was basking in the Heavenly light from the sky. 

However, when they thought about how Lucas and his family members fought against the evil spirit beasts, they were not shocked anymore and focused on the remaining evil spirit beasts that were scattered everywhere.

\'I wonder what grade their family will get from the heavens?\'

This was another thought in their heads and to know that, they could only wait and see what colour of Halo Lucas would get from the heavens.

While others were thinking about the grade of the Hellmore family, the Hellmore family members were excited as their family was finally acknowledged by the heavens.

...

\'You have done well fighting against the evil spirit beasts.\'

As for Lucas, he was currently closing his eyes and was enjoying the warm light from the heavens when he heard a calm yet some kind of magical voice in his head.

\'Huh?\'

Lucas frowned hearing the voice; however, he didn\'t say anything.

\'Don\'t worry, son. Didn\'t you want me to acknowledge your contributions against the evil spirit beasts? I finally acknowledged you and your family\'s efforts.\'

Seeing him frown, the magical voice spoke once again, making Lucas pleasantly surprised.

\'Heavens? Who exactly are you? Why don\'t you come forward?\'

It was Lucas\' first time experiencing what he was experiencing right now. But, he was having a feeling that it was definitely a person who was speaking to him.

\'It is not time yet. Just focus on increasing your strength and developing your family to the highest grade. Then I might show my true appearance.\'

The magical voice calmly replied to Lucas and continued, \'After considering all you and your family members\' achievement, your Hellmore family is now a Baron grade family.\'

\'Baron grade family.\'

Lucas clenched his fists because his family is now recognized by the heavens and became a ranked family.

Even though it was the lowest grade, it was better than not having a grade.

\'You seem like you are already satisfied with the Baron grade.\'

The magical voice sounded a little disappointed as it continued, \'I was planning to upgrade your family\'s rank to Viscount grade for convincing a special spirit beast as your guardian spirit beast.\'

\'What?\'

Lucas really felt satisfied with the Baron grade for now; however, when he heard the magical voice, he was shocked.

\'Why Wyvern is a special spirit beast?\'

When he checked the information on the wyvern, the system didn\'t show anything. Moreover, earlier, he found out that he got the invitation from a Heavenly evil spirit beast to join their side.

So, he was really curious about the wyvern that evolved into a dragon.

\'Kid, you have to find the answers on your own.\'

However, the magical voice didn\'t answer his question, before saying, \'All you need to know is that, it has the potential to become a Sovereign beast and beyond that.\'

\'What? Beyond sovereign rank?\'

Lucas knew that the shadow dragon could reach the sovereign rank; however, beyond that rank, Lucas never thought about it.

\'Yes. Anyway, let\'s get to the main business.\'

The magic voice continued, \'Do you create a new town or do you want to make Silverstone town as your own main town?\'

\'I want Silverstone town.\'

A Baron grade family can own the main town and several subsidiary towns under them. So, Lucas was not surprised as he directly chose one option given by the magical voice.

He didn\'t have any plans to create a town from the beginning when he could just take an already built town.

\'Once you clear the remaining evil spirit beasts in the town, the Silverstone will be fully repaired and the rank 5 barrier will be activated around the town; however, you need to provide sufficient energy for the barrier to sustain.\'

The magical voice finished with the rewards that Lucas had got from killing the evil spirit beasts.

\'Thank you.\'

Finally, Lucas gained control over the Silverstone town and he could do whatever he wanted.

\'Okay then. Don\'t be content with anything. Be greedy and become as powerful as possible as there will be a war in the future.\'

\'Also, after two years, I will go to the Alverton firmament. You will find what you are searching for. Remember, go only after two years.\'

As soon as the magical voice finished its words, Lucas felt a sharp pain on the back of his right hand, which made him open his eyes.

\'Huh? What is this?\'

On his hand, there was a black coloured insignia of the Hellmore family. Around the insignia, there was an orange coloured marking, making Lucas frown a little.

"Hey, look. He was having an orange coloured halo around him."

"What? How can this be?"

"How did his family rank jump two ranks?"

"I am seeing things right? Not only did an unranked family become a ranked one but it also directly upgraded to Viscount grade."

"It is higher than the Grayeye family."

"Also, since the family is now a Viscount grade, does that mean, the Silverstone town will be managed by the Hellmore family, right?"

Many were shocked by the grade that the Hellmore family was blessed by the Heavens.

\'Viscount grade? Haha...Heavens are so generous.\'

Even though Lucas knew the reason for the double upgrade in the grade of his family, he was not expecting it because the heavens acted like it would not be giving it as he was satisfied just with the Baron grade.

\'Looks I will be busy after clearing these remaining evil spirit beasts.\'

Lucas was looking forward to the changes that the heavens could bring to the Silverstone town after all the evil spirit beasts were cleared.

\'Anyway, I have to fill up the progress bar as there is only 2 percent that needs to be filled.\'

Soon, Lucas focused on clearing the evil spirit beasts to get the third reward from the bonus mission.
