Chapter 448: Chapter 269: Transformation, Count Engle’s Gifted Future (Part 2)

It’s difficult to expect any other result.

Thor’s arrival not only halted his Secret Technique but also provided the possibility of a transformation.

"Father, you’re overpraising me!"

Thor shook his head with a smile, and his gaze involuntarily glanced at Michael.

At this moment, Michael was undoubtedly in much better condition than before, and his cultivation had visibly improved due to the burning of the Secret Technique, reaching roughly the mid-stage of a Sky Knight.

Such a speed of improvement could be described as terrifying.

However, Thor also understood this was an exception.

Under normal circumstances, achieving such rapid progress is nearly impossible.

Even if attempted again, it might not happen.

Triggering the Undying Attribute of the Secret Technique requires such extreme burning, and even then, it might not activate. If it fails to activate, it’s truly over.

Even with a High-Level Life Potion and Essence of Life, full recovery might not be possible.

Like Michael before, his power was just a little less than Count Engle’s. Despite that, he didn’t trigger the Undying Attribute, and under the High-Level Life Potion and Essence, recovery was limited.

In the end, he still relied on the flames of the Undying Attribute and Engel’s Domain Prototype to fully recover.

Several people conversed.

At this moment, in the distance, a figure was swiftly approaching.

When there were still several miles away.

Anna, Thor, and Count Engle instantly sensed something, their gazes directly looking into the distance.

When they saw the rapidly approaching figure, everyone’s hearts tightened.

No one forgot that it was the time Red Dragon Duke was at war with the Liepuer Clan, and the ones appearing in the sky could only be members of Red Dragon Duke or the Liepuer Clan.

"Father, how strong is Red Dragon Duke?"

Thor regained his senses and looked at Count Engle with inquiry.

Although he had learned quite a bit from daily intelligence, the specifics were still not thoroughly known to him.

"You know?"

Count Engle was a bit surprised, unconsciously speaking.

"I know some."

Thor nodded slightly, not denying it.

"The strength of Red Dragon Duke is considered formidable in the current Kingdom War, very strong indeed, and the Liepuer Clan is likely no match against him."

Count Engle spoke in a solemn tone.

Having been involved for quite some time, he had a simple understanding of the Red Dragon Duke’s strength, knowing it well.

Honestly, even with his upgrade, the entire Dressrosa Family could hardly compare to Red Dragon Duke.

After all, Red Dragon Duke doesn’t just have the presence of a Half-Step Sanctuary; there are also numerous Sky Knights, including three at Sky Knight Peak. As for below Sky Knights, Red Dragon Duke’s strength is undoubtedly stronger.

Listening to Count Engle’s account.

Thor couldn’t help but wear a solemn expression.

Even though he had learned something already, genuinely understanding the duke’s strength was still shocking.

Such strength can’t just be compared with the Liepuer Clan; even combined with two of the Three Great Dukes, it may not surpass Red Dragon Duke by much.

The strength of Red Dragon Duke alone far exceeds half of the Half-Step Sanctuary; his Domain Prototype is almost forming.

Thankfully, the strength of Old Duke Liepuer was also very formidable, barely holding off before Count Engle and others left.

But Count Engle knew this hold wouldn’t last long.

However, while a few were nervous and thinking, the distant figure was already clear to see.

On seeing who it was, Count Engle was taken aback.

"It’s him!"

Mumbling, Count Engle was somewhat surprised.

"Father?"

Hearing Count Engle’s words, Thor asked with some confusion.

"Thor, that’s Duke Liepuer’s second son, named Sakre Liepuer."

"A member of the Liepuer Clan!"

Count Engle explained while feeling more puzzled.

The ones who fled were members of Red Dragon Duke, so why was a member from the Liepuer Clan appearing now? Did the Liepuer Clan still have forces to send?

Of course, puzzled as he was, Count Engle didn’t continue to speak.

The figure in the distance had already descended.

At this moment, Sakre Liepuer naturally noticed several unfamiliar figures on the ground.

His gaze swept over Thor, Reine, and Anna, carrying a hint of doubt.

His grandfather had mentioned someone entered Count Engle’s battlefield, but it now seemed to disappear.

"Count Engle."

Sakre Liepuer landed, immediately addressing Count Engle.

"Lord Sakre, what brings you here?"

Facing Sakre Liepuer’s greeting, Count Engle straightforwardly asked with inquiry.

"The thing is, Red Dragon Duke has retreated. My grandfather sent me to check if you still need help, Count Engle!"

Certainly doubting internally but facing Count Engle’s fierce gaze, Sakre Liepuer quickly spoke.

"Thanks to Old Duke Liepuer."

"Things here are resolved too, but unfortunately, the one escaped too fast, couldn’t stop him."

Count Engle spoke with a sigh.

"Count Engle, you overpraise me. This time it’s mainly due to you!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Actually, my grandfather wishes to invite you over, is that convenient?"

Sakre Liepuer hesitated slightly, then addressed Count Engle.

His grandfather wanted to understand the situation, and clearly, bringing Count Engle over was the best option.

Due to his grandfather’s words, Sakre Liepuer was very cautious.

"Old Duke Liepuer’s invitation is our honor!"

"Allow me to organize a bit."

Count Engle hesitated slightly, then glanced at Thor, seeing he didn’t speak, and agreed to it.

The Liepuer Clan, Count Engle felt, was quite decent.

Previously, they were already trying to help him when entangled, so facing the other’s invitation, he wasn’t intending to refuse.

"No worries."

"No rush!"

Sakre Liepuer promptly nodded.

Count Engle responded with a smile, then took Thor and Michael aside.

"Thor, will you join us, or will we separate?"

Count Engle looked at Thor, curiously inquiring.

"Father, I’ll go along with you!"

Thor hesitated slightly, then nodded.

Leaving wasn’t urgent for him now, considering the distance from his Knight Order.

Now that Engle was going to the Liepuer Clan, it was a chance to see the strength of a ducal family, gaining a better understanding of the strong noble forces in this Kingdom War.

"Alright!"

"Then come along with me!"

Count Engle hesitated a moment, then nodded.

He wasn’t too concerned since he’s already Half-Step Sanctuary now, and together with Thor’s strength, they’re not too far behind the Liepuer Clan.
