Chapter 337: 337

“Old Ancestor, please allow the two of us to break through and destroy the Beast Sect!”

Upon hearing Norton’s request and looking at their determined faces, Romo was full of emotions.

Perhaps, he had really neglected the request of the older generation to break through.

It seemed that Anthony was not the only one in the family who wanted to break through and advance. The other descendants had been stuck at the bottleneck of their realms for too long and could not hold it in anymore.

As soon as the goal to destroy the Beast Sect had been revealed, the first plan of attack that appeared in Romo’s mind was indeed for Ron and Dick to be the first to break through their realms and advance, and that they would then lead their clansmen to attack the Beast Sect.

The two of them had always been the top combatants of the Nicholas family. Not only were the outside world used to hearing about their deeds, everyone in the family had also long been used to it. Even Romo himself had subconsciously prioritized them when considering the nurturing of descendants and the arrangement of family missions.

Unknowingly, he had neglected one thing: the strength of the other descendants had gradually become stronger, and they could already hold their own!

Especially Norton and Zoro. As the representatives of the elders, after they had enough strength, how could they bear to watch the two juniors continue to carry the burden in the front line?

Clearly, the elders should safeguard the growth of the younger generation. How could they let the younger generation be at the forefront of protecting the family clan?

Therefore, Norton and Zoro, who had always followed the instructions of their Old Ancestor, could not help but ask for instructions contrary to the previous arrangements.

Romo was deeply gratified by this.

The descendants of the family were not tools. They each had their own thoughts. It was very good that they had the courage to deviate from the instructions of their Old Ancestor, and dared to put forward their personal opinions, and expose the problems in the blind spot.

At this point, the Nicholas family had been completely separated from the weakness of the past. Romo no longer needed to take care of them carefully and arrange everything.

Now that the family mission to destroy the Beast Sect had been released, the family needed to deal with the mysterious and powerful Lassie Kingdom’s Beast Sect. They did not have to beg Ron and Dick to return home and break through before the family could go to the Endless Beast Mountain to attack the Beast Sect!

Norton and the other clansmen of the older generation had originally also been in the arrangements for the family clan’s breakthroughs. Now that the two of them had taken the initiative to ask for instructions, it was not impossible for them to advance to the Divine Mage realm in advance.

In terms of personal experience, Norton and the others had actually decades more experience than Dick and Ron, so they naturally had a relative advantage in mental stability.

It should not be a problem for the two of them to break through earlier this time.

After they had asked for instructions, Norton and Zoro’s hearts were still pounding. They waited quietly by the side for the Old Ancestor to respond.

Soon, the candle flames in the ancestral hall flickered even though there was no wind. A breeze blew past the two people in front of the hall, making them feel refreshed. Even the candle flames became brighter.

This was… permission from the Old Ancestor!!

That night, in the family clan’s forbidden ground.

At this moment, Norton was the only one left in the forbidden ground.

After he had adjusted his personal condition, he started to circulate his magical power to break through the bottleneck of his realm!

Romo did not visit his dream or guide him because he had no use for it.

Norton’s advancement to the next realm had been smoother than Romo had imagined. He had also not used the Realm Breakthrough Protection Talisman…

Late into the night, the energy in Norton’s body suddenly skyrocketed to a new level of quality!

Breakthrough to… Divine Mage realm!!

Norton’s current magical power talent was already at the genius level. With the series of enhancements from the family clan’s magic formation and the forbidden ground, there was no doubt that he would break through as a Great Archmage to the Divine Mage realm.

Romo was not worried about breaking through. He was more concerned about another matter.

When Norton successfully broke through to become a Divine Mage, Romo did not receive the expected System notification. The family clan’s rank had not increased!

Previously, when the descendant with the highest magical power level in the family clan broke through to a new realm, the family clan’s rank also increased.

For example, when Ron became a Great Mage, his family clan’s rank increased to level-2; when Ron became a Great Archmage, his family clan’s rank increased to level-3.

Currently, the first Divine Mage had appeared in the family, but the rank of the Nicholas family had not risen.

It looked like there were more requirements to advance the family clan’s rank to level-4. It might be that the family clan did not have enough Divine Mage experts, or that the number of family members had not met the requirements, or…

Romo had thought that perhaps, after his family clan’s rank had broken through, the level-4 gift bag he would have obtained might have some special tools to accelerate the awakening of his wife’s consciousness. Now, he could only wait.

In the long yet short ten years, Hera, like Romo, could receive the Faith Points from the daily worship by the descendants.

However, Hera never woke up.

Due to the cover in the family clan’s forbidden ground, Norton’s breakthrough did not attract the attention of others.

However, Norton did not hide it. After he left the forbidden ground the next day, he summoned some of his clansmen and his family’s retainers and told everyone present that he had broken through and become a Divine Mage.

Everyone was shocked to learn that the family head who had been a top Great Archmage had broken through to become a Divine Mage overnight.

Norton also announced that Zoro would also break through tonight.

Then, he announced and arranged the family plan for the battle of the Nicholas family against the Beast Sect, which surprised everyone again.

Before today, many people had guessed that the Nicholas family and the Lassie Kingdom’s Beast Sect would eventually fight. However, they had not expected the complete showdown between the two to come so quickly!

As the head of the family, Norton, had advanced in his realm, no one had any objections to this battle plan. Some were even very excited and wanted to show off their skills quickly.

At night, Zoro also broke through and advanced in the forbidden ground, successfully becoming a Divine Mage!

However, this advancement had some twists and turns. With the help of the Realm Breakthrough Protection Talisman and 200,000 Faith Points, he had also broken through to the Divine Mage realm.

With advancement just having been mentioned, two of them actually advanced to the Divine Mage realm in a row. Those who knew about this were all shocked.

Especially Harris and Leonard. They recalled that when they first came to the Nicholas family, Norton and Zoro were not as powerful as them. Now, they had broken through to become Divine Magi before they did…

Harris was also preparing for his breakthrough plan, but he had not been able to find a relatively suitable opportunity to break through. Seeing Norton and the others upgrade just like that, he could not help but feel envious.

A day later, the Nicholas family had made all the preparations.

In the morning, with a loud beast roar, everyone in the Holy Light City automatically looked up into the sky and saw the Five-Color Peacock soaring into the sky, displaying its might. Beside it was the Sacred Mist Ferry of the Nicholas family, which had not been mobilized for a long time!!

After soaring into the sky, the Five-Color Peacock and the Sacred Mist Ferry charged into the distance together. Two huge figures quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight!

The entire Holy Light City was in an uproar. What was the Nicholas family up to again?!

“They have actually mobilized a level-7 Five-Color Peacock! And the family clan’s important Sacred Mist Ferry! They are flying south…”

Although it was not known how many people had been sent out, something big was definitely about to happen!

Some people with many channels had already guessed that this matter might be related to the Beast Sect.

No matter what the people in the city were discussing, the Nicholas family had kept it a secret before they took action. As soon as they set off, the Sacred Mist Ferry flew directly to the Endless Beast Mountain of the Lassie Kingdom!

Southern Border of the Sebastian Kingdom, Steep Southern Pass.

The Steep Southern Pass was the main pass for the southern border troops. At the same time, it was also the first southern border defense line of the Sebastian Kingdom.

This place had already fallen into the flames of war. Several millions of troops from the Sebastian Kingdom and the Lassie Kingdom had been fighting here for ten days!

Outside the Steep Southern Pass, the mountains and plains were filled with corpses after corpses!

The red light of dusk illuminated the sky, but the red on the ground was even more crimson…

The two armies were still in a bloody battle. Countless people on both sides who were still alive were stepping over the remains of countless broken limbs and bones, and killing each other here.

Those who were participating in the bloody battle were ordinary people, ordinary Magi, Great Magi, and… Great Archmagi!!
