The sea of flames swept across, terrifying heat spreading throughout the sky, painting the entire heavens in a fiery red hue. Even from tens of miles away, one could sense the terrifying anomaly surrounding Count Engel. At this moment, countless people involuntarily looked in that direction, filled with curiosity and surprise.

"What, what is that?"

"My God, why has that place turned into a sea of fire!"

"This, this!"

"Just now, it seemed like a battle erupted there."

"Could this be the power of a Domain!"

Voices mingled, and countless people exclaimed in shock.

Amid the exclamations, some were curious, some were amazed, and some were confused.

Yet, no one chose to approach, not even some powerful nobles with intentions.

They knew that it was the battleground between the Red Dragon Duke and the Liepuer Clan. To enter now would possibly make both families jointly eliminate them; no one dared to venture near at this time.

Amid their fluctuations, amazement, and confusion.

Far in the valley.

The battle involuntarily came to a halt.

A powerful presence transmitted from afar.

Causing both parties to be taken aback.

Even high in the sky, where Old Duke Liepuer and the Red Dragon Duke were constantly engaged in battle, they stopped unconsciously.

Both slightly furrowed their brows.

Because the presence from afar was increasingly terrifying, first the sea of fire swept through, and the aura was evidently close to the Sky Knight Peak.

This was not the end; soon, the sea of fire was extinguished, and an icy cold aura spread from afar. More importantly, there was a special wave of fluctuation spreading upward, which both knew too well; that was the power of a Domain.

This signaled the appearance of a top-tier Half-Step Sanctuary there.

Leaving both stunned.

Because the aura of this Domain felt extremely unfamiliar.

And in the spread of surprise, the phenomenon from afar changed once again unexpectedly.

The original icy aura scattered again, with a grand flame rising once more, accompanied by a scorching aura rushing straight to the sky.

At this moment, both were even more bewildered.

They didn’t know how to react for a time, nor how to describe it.

Luckily, not much time passed.

The next moment, a stream of light rapidly sped over from afar.

The aura fluctuated, the silhouette extremely ragged. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Leaving both shocked once again, but they quickly responded; the Red Dragon Duke rejoiced, while Old Duke Liepuer’s expression involuntarily changed slightly, because the returning individual was exactly the Sky Knight Peak presence of the Red Dragon Duchy.

This arrival would undoubtedly break the current balance.

Especially since this silhouette carried the aura of a Domain, it was apparent the individual was merely a step away from forming a Domain Prototype.

"Croiss, hahaha, those filthy rats have already been handled!"

Gazing at the arriving figure, the Red Dragon Duke laughed heartily, especially feeling the aura on Croiss, his smile became even more difficult to suppress.

Clearly, with this war, Croiss was about to break through; once Croiss did, the strength of the Red Dragon Duchy would undoubtedly further enhance.

Two Half-Step Sanctuary strengths, even in the Kingdom War, were enough to rank among the top.

"Duke!"

"That!"

Upon hearing the Red Dragon Duke’s words, Croiss’s aged face changed slightly, his silhouette halted, instinctively wanting to speak, yet halfway through he didn’t know how to articulate.

His reaction immediately alerted both the Red Dragon Duke and Old Duke Liepuer.

The Red Dragon Duke couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, while Old Duke Liepuer’s eyes brightened.

"What happened?"

The Red Dragon Duke instinctively sensed something amiss, and spoke subconsciously.

"Duke, reinforcements from the Dressrosa Family seem to have arrived!"

Croiss was somewhat reluctant to speak, but faced with the cold gaze from the Red Dragon Duke, he still spoke.

"Reinforcements?"

The Red Dragon Duke paused, somewhat puzzled.

He was puzzled not by the reinforcements but by the mere reinforcements; how could reinforcements from a Count’s Clan cause any problem?

At this time, Croiss was not just an ordinary Sky Knight but had even stepped into the Half-Step Sanctuary realm, the Domain was nearly formed, even against some Duke Families of the Kingdom he had some assurance already.

"Whew!"

"Duke, a powerful presence with mastery over a Domain arrived there, I could only choose to retreat!"

Looking at the puzzled Red Dragon Duke, Croiss gritted his teeth and then quickly supplemented.

"Mastery over a Domain?"

"How can that be?"

Upon hearing Croiss’s supplement, the Red Dragon Duke’s pupils contracted, words subconsciously spilled from his mouth.

Only halfway through, suddenly recalling the Domain aura that spread prior.

His pupils contracted, and his complexion then changed accordingly.

"Duke!"

Croiss subconsciously spoke again, the words somewhat hesitant.

"Hahahaha!"

"Red Dragon Duke, now it’s not you who can resolve us, but have you thought about how to exit this Exotic Realm?"

And hearing Croiss’s words, Old Duke Liepuer immediately realized too, instinctively speaking with a smile, his previously worried demeanor turned into amusement at this moment.

Only amidst the amusement, his heart couldn’t help but bring along a shred of doubt.

At this point, within thousands of miles around here, there was no trace of the Three Great Duke Families, where did the Half-Step Sanctuary presence from the Dressrosa Family come from?
