The one who was most surprised at Elos' invitation was Daran, however he had never thought of becoming a special warrior Lord of the Labyrinth before.
Although for some time now Daran already had the mind to become a special warrior of Elos, after all, he had seen prosperity in the territory of Elos and all the inhabitants had the same that Elos was a good leader and cared for all the inhabitants.
Although there were still some who disagreed with how to lead Elos, especially the higher-ups who could not raise money by embezzling taxes due to Elos' assertiveness, most of the inhabitants of Elos supported him.
A leader who is supported by its inhabitants is not necessarily a great leader, but at least he is not a cruel and evil leader. However the inhabitants were not fools, they could not possibly support people who were cruel to them as leaders.
Therefore, Daran was already interested in following Elos.
But Daran was also hesitant to tell Elos this matter, Elos now already had many special warriors stronger than him, there were even extremely powerful existences like Tiamat. This made Daran who only had rank 1 feel that his strength was completely unsuitable to become a special warrior of Elos, though, so he threw away the idea and decided to live peacefully in the territory of the Capital of Dyremann and helped him if there was an attack on the capital.
But what Daran never thought was that today Elos actually invited him to become a special soldier of Elos, even though Daran had started to forget this idea.
Different from Daran who was surprised because he felt he was too weak to be suitable to become a special soldier of Elos, Riona who was on the other hand felt surprised because Elos said this in the middle of the battlefield.
As for Daran's ability, Riona had no doubts at all. When Daran had been strengthened by being a special soldier of Elos, then Daran might not lose to Tiamat.
Elos was busy watching the king of death for fear that he might attack suddenly, but hearing Daran become silent, Elos thought Daran refused to be loyal to him. After all, Daran was betrayed by the king and his own close friends, it is not strange that Daran refused to be loyal to anyone.
So Elos tried to persuade Daran again to hold on to his hand like a cat "Daran, I know that you have just been betrayed so it is not easy to trust anyone, but I need your help now. You don't have to worry, I'm not the king of the Kingdom of Sanctus that you've been following before, I won't throw away the people who have helped me just for fear of losing power in the future".
Daran who was still shocked regained his senses, he shook his head quickly "Master Elos, I mean not like that! I'm sorry to make you misunderstand me, but I don't think my strength is enough to be a special soldier to Mr. Elos! Around Lord Elos there are the existences of many people stronger than myself, I feel that my present strength is only troublesome to become a special warrior Lord Elos".
Hearing the reason, Elos shook his head "Daran, the one who determines whether you are a match or not is me! When I've said that you're a match then there's nothing to doubt. Then I ask you one more time, whether you accept my invitation or not".
After that Elos released his hand on Daran and let him stand above the sky while thinking, Daran has already reached rank 1 as well as has the ability to use magic that can help him fly, he said, therefore he could stand above the sky without any problems. Not to mention that Elos had already given him the Ruler of Life's healing, all the wounds from the undead king's attack had been mostly healed.
Daran thought for a while before nodding with firmness, he knelt on the ground by giving his sword to Elos "Master, I give my allegiance to you! Although the power I have now is not too strong, but if something happens to master then Daran will not mind to use his own life".
Looking at the sword that Daran had given him, Elos knew that this was a form of loyalty of a knight that was their sword.
So Elos took Daran's sword, put it on his left and right shoulders before saying "I, Fjorten Elos accept your loyalty, and with this I give you the title of a special warrior, a knight who works for me".
Slowly the light shone from Elos' bone body and rushed towards Daran, the light was not the power of the Ruler of Life but the power of the Sky Labyrinth Master.
The white light shone all over Daran's body, he turned into the heat of the sun, after that the cold of the moon, or even visible planets that appeared around him.
Not long after, the light on Daran's body continued to shine until it formed a giant pillar that could be seen through all corners of this world.
Be it Ark, Tersin and Torei who were in the distance knew what this ray meant that there were people who reached the god level.
Seeing that the light was coming from the territory of Elos, then their faces all became very gloomy because most likely it was not from the army of the undead king, but there was an army of Elos who reached the level of a god.
The entire battlefield trembled, the undead who rushed towards the city wall immediately flung back, Daran's aura continuing to rise rapidly and powerfully.
The white light around Daran's body started to disappear, his figure was again visible.
Elos slightly raised his head because Daran's strength increased greatly, if there was no mistake then Elos was sure Daran had reached a level 7 deity higher than Tiamat.
At first Elos was confused as to why Daran could be stronger than Tiamat, but after remembering that Tiamat used to be rank 2 before becoming a tier 8 deity, he was a god, then it was not strange for Daran who used to be rank 1 to become a tier 7 god.
Daran felt a great power running through his body, he bowed to Elos before asking carefully "Master, if you don't mind then can I try out my new strength?".
"I don't mind" said Elos in agreement.
Daran nodded, he raised his sword before slashing towards the front.
"Dash!".
Daran's slash turned into an enormous slash of light, this sword slash had an extremely hot temperature even though it had yet to reach the level of the sun.
Then those sword slashes continued to spread that burned countless undead, perhaps tens of thousands of undead burned just by the slash of the sword.
Daran held his face while muttering "Since I became a sky knight then my strength has indeed greatly increased, in addition, during the day, I was supported by the power of the sun, which made my attack very hot, while at night, every attack from my sword became icy cold, really very interesting".
