Max was delighted by the first half of his current status, but he couldn’t help but frown when he read his C-rank skills’ proficiency.

There were many changes after reaching B-rank.

Aside from gaining new skills, Max was delighted that his C-rank skills, despite being reduced to beginner to intermediate level after painstakingly increasing them to Master rank, evolved to suit his current rank.

After confirming that his C-rank skills were not degraded, he excitedly read his new skills, including the B-rank version of his Arcane Caster Skills.

Max was most surprised by the Radiant Resonance Field.

As it was lacking a description, he asked the system to fully show a description of it.

[Passive Skill — Radiant Resonance Field

Skill Description: Creates a domain-like field centered on the Radiant Conclave bearer. All allied Radiant Knights within the field become connected to the caster’s Authority, allowing their mana, combat instincts, and formation discipline to synchronize. Unlike ordinary buffs, the Resonance Field becomes stronger when more Radiant Knights operate together in organized formations.]

A Domain! Max’s eyes lit up.

As far as he remembered, only A-rank possessed a passive ability that could manifest their own domain.

Although the Radiant Resonance Field could only affect his Radiant Knights and not the entire environment compared to the domain of A-rank, the higher the skill proficiency of the Radiant Resonance Field, the higher the chance that he and his Radiant Knights could fight against A-rank in the future.

What made A-rank difficult to fight as a B-rank, compared to fighting B-rank as a C-rank, was precisely because of their domain.

Inside their domain, they were practically invincible.

Max was exhilarated.

There might not be A-rank demons appearing in the first world event; there might be a chance that they appear only to be obstructed by the NPCs, not the players.

Nevertheless, unless I managed to increase the Radiant Resonance Field to Master level proficiency, It’s best for me to avoid a confrontation against A-rank.

Max thought as he then focused on his active skills...
