"Get out of the castle!" The voice of Grey boomed in the ears of Turk. Turk was only a Rank 7 knight, and so the voice of a Rank 8 knight seemed incredibly strong. However, other than taking him of guard, this voice did nothing else.
Turk realised that a Rank 8 knight was still within the castle and he was frightened, and quickly ran out of the castle. Since he could not complete his mission right now, he first needed to help his Rank 6 younger disciple complete his own mission of killing that advancing knight, and then bring him along to defeat the rank 8 knight who was in the castle.
At this moment, Bob could not move out of the central castle because his master Zack had specifically instructed him to take care of the city, but to ditch the city is he needed to do so in order to save his family.
Therefore, he was stuck in the central castle, as he told the maids to help pack up the valuables and necessary items for travelling for everyone in Zack's family.
Bob knew what the situation was like outside the city as well as just outside the servants' quarters. However, he could only watch by the side-lines. Being an official Knight, he could not do long distance attacks without long-ranged weapons like bows.
And moving to help Fals would leave Zack's family open to sneak attacks by any official knights that might have snuck into the city other than the two who were fighting Fals.
Clearly, Fals was at an incredible disadvantage, and would be defeated within less than a minute at this rate.
However, he made his decision after noticing the resolute expression of Fals' face. Fals was willing to die for his master. Bob made the even harder decision of letting his brother for 20 years to die, a decision that would haunt him for countless years to come if he survived this.
Turning around, he shouted.
"Faster. I need everything of value put into 4 crates. I also need the clothes for everyone in the family in one crate and food for a month's journey in another crate. You have 1 minute left."
Bob had made the servants empty the treasury, and had given each of these workers some of the money to keep their mouths shut. He had everything put into creates and picked them up and instructed Zack's entire family to escape along with him through the secret escape tunnel Zack had built for situations exactly like this.
At this moment, the could in the sky began to disappear and Zack and Grey who were battling a losing fight against the Rank 2 magical beast and Arthur, And Fals who was riddled with injuries noticed this.
But they all knew that although Daron had successfully advanced to Official Knight Rank 6, he would not be of any use since he did not have any practise with his skills. Furthermore, Fals, who was half dead but still standing was fighting a Rank 6 and a Rank 7 knight, both of which could be able to easily chop Daron into pieces. And the battle outside the city was even more so outside Daron's league involving three Intermediate knights and Grey, who was just helping Zack out by attacking the magic beast every now and then to distract it at the critical moments before fleeing to prevent Zack from being destroyed instantly by two Intermediate Knight level opponents.
Bob on the other hand did not notice any of this hand was already in the underground tunnel escaping with Zack's family which included Zoey, Zack's wife; Angela, and Zack's mother; Roselle.
At this moment, Daron, who had finally reached Rank 6, sealed up all his connections once more and looked normal, finally noticed the situation outside his building through the shattered window and instantly dashed out.
'Sirious, Can I defeat the two of them?'
[Master Daron, if you unseal the newly upgraded Bloodline Inheritance, and put the Sun Effect improvement on hold to use 100% of my processing power for the combat sub-system, you should be able to barely defeat these two Rank 7 and Rank 6 knights.]
'Then do it'
As the normal looking Daron was falling, changes began occurring on his body. His rough hair grew down till his shoulders and his body grew by only 2 centimetres. His height and muscles did not change too much since during the advancement, permanent changes had been made to his body by bloodline inheritance that could not be reversed by sealing it. Therefore, Daron's new normal had now changed to the height and muscle density of his previous 'unsealed' mode. In fact, it was not only that much, but all his stats had been permanently increased by 10, which made him now twice as strong as a normal adult, while unleashing the Bloodline Inheritance granted him an extra (+5) to all stats.
Most Rank 6 knights were only at around twice the stats of a normal adult, sometime even below that. And Rank 7 knights would be at around 30 stat points in everything.
Right now, Most of Daron's stats were around 26, putting him in between Rank 7 and 8.
When he landed on the ground, he already had his combat armour he had worn on the expedition since for some reason Knight Fals had allowed Zack and his team to keep the armours and sword as a gift. Naturally, the sword he was suing was Dragon tooth that he had crafted himself.
However, what stood out the most was the tattoo that was showing on the clothing, giving off a faint black and a hidden even fainter dark-gold colour, that went from his left hand up till his left eye, dying the normally dark brown pupil of Daron in the same Black and imperceivable dark-gold colour. This tattoo with mysterious symbols on it also spread onto his chest and back, covering almost half of each.
Seeing the tattoo, both Turk's and Alan's pupil's contracted. Both of them had heard about these tattoos from their master. It was the tattoo of the Draconian clan, one of the strongest forces on the continent who supposedly made up about 1/10th of the mage community. Although their master did not know too much other than this single statement, just the worlds 'one of the strongest forces' as well as being related to the legendary mages that most humans could only hear about in legends, were enough to terrify these two Official Knights.
"Draconian?"
However, Daron did not give them time to think about anything else, since he handed a lot of the control of his body to Sirious and the 100% power combat system.
