They all call me Great Master-Chapter 973 - 946: Unstoppable Momentum!

The sound was clear and even carried a resounding echo, like stones falling into a mountain stream.

Overhead, the secret technique 'Blood River' that should have dispersed once again gathered, and the defense field constructed by South Los with the 'Sun Arrow' began to falter, threatening to extract the souls of the people of South Los once more.

Boom!

The Earl of South Los unleashed another Lightning Strike.

Unfortunately, at the end of a weakened bowstring, the Lightning Strike could not harm the Blood Marquis at all.

On the contrary, it would only provoke the opponent.

However, the Blood Marquis did not retaliate.

Instead...

He pursued Arthur.

As the Earl of South Los cast the Lightning Strike, Arthur turned and fled.

The [Mark of Thunder] transformed Arthur into a bolt of lightning, rapidly advancing towards the distance, and with the activation of the [Mark of Thunder. Bloodline Mark], Arthur was like real lightning, making it impossible for the Blood Marquis to catch up for a moment.

"Is he your trump card?"

The Duke of Northern County watched Arthur and the Blood Marquis leave, his eyes full of dread.

Whether it was Arthur or the Blood Marquis, both made this lone wolf of the Northern Territory feel the threat of 'death'.

The Blood Marquis was beyond mere words.

Alive, his reputation had already resounded across the East Coast.

And this 'resurrection' was even more terrifying, leaving everyone unsure of just how far his ambitions reached.

As for Arthur?

A schemer!

A ruthless and vicious schemer!

Didn't you see that the human puppet who replaced the Old Lion was recklessly trapped?

No!

It's possible that his appearance was all part of Arthur's plan.

And now there's the power of 'Thunder' being displayed.

The Duke of Northern County instantly unfolded a series of conjectures.

Everyone knows that 'Thunder' has always been the mark of the South Los House, with no exceptions.

"No.

He is my...

family."

The Earl of South Los originally wanted to say 'friend', but upon noticing the Duke of Northern County's apprehension, the Countess directly changed her words.

Although protected by the 'Sun Arrow', South Los had not suffered real destruction, but the energy within the 'Sun Arrow' was on the verge of depletion.

More importantly, she was severely injured.

Estimating secretly, such wounds would take at least one or two years to heal.

While the Duke of Northern County was also seriously injured, his army was not.

If the opponent launched a war, South Los would truly fall into flames without her and the 'Sun Arrow'.

Which is something she did not want to see.

So she adjusted her words,

just adjusted.

Not lying.

After all, Marinda is Arthur's wife, she is Marinda's cousin, so what's wrong with saying they are relatives?

Only a tiny bit wrong.

The Countess recalled Madam Susan's words.

At the time, she didn't take those words seriously, but now?

She analyzed them word by word.

If she were Arthur's wife...

The current dilemma would not only be solved, but she could even deal with the Duke of Northern County.

The thinking Countess of South Los instinctively directed her gaze at the Duke of Northern County.

Without hesitation, the Duke of Northern County turned and fled.

Although it was just a vague spiritual premonition, this lone wolf of the Northern Territory would not take any risks.

The concealed Arcane Ship emerged from the sea —

"Your Highness!"

The attendants on the ship wanted to support the Duke of Northern County, who had long exceeded his limits and continued to overdraw, but he refused with a dismissive gesture.

The lone wolf raised his head to glance at the Earl of South Los in the sky.

Then, the lone wolf turned and returned to the cabin.

He didn't know who would emerge as the victor between the spirit medium and the Blood Marquis, nor did he know if the Countess of South Los was as 'innocent' as she seemed.

All these he didn't know.

All he knew was that he needed to heal and recover.

Only after recovering and the wounds healed.

Could he face everything.

'South Los...

I will be back!'

The proud Duke of Northern County thought so.

The Arcane Ship disappeared from view on the sea, and the Countess of South Los understood the last look from the Duke of Northern County, accepting this challenge.

As long as—

Arthur wins!

The next battle, she was determined to win!

Her gaze instinctively shifted in the direction where Arthur and the Blood Marquis disappeared.

[Mark of Thunder] was given by her; she knew well the speed of [Turn into Lightning]. The speed Arthur just displayed far exceeded Level III.

Clearly, Arthur activated the [Bloodline Mark], completing an early recharge.

But the distance [Turn into Lightning] could travel was only enhanced by about twice.

'200 kilometers.

Reef Island!'

The Earl of South Los quickly confirmed the location, then began to ponder how to assist Arthur.

Unconsciously, the Earl looked towards the lighthouse.

No!

Exactly, it was the 'Sun Arrow'.

Only the 'Sun Arrow' left by the master might strike the Blood Marquis.

Thinking of this, the Countess of South Los didn't hesitate any longer and turned to fly towards Xisis Port.

To utilize the final power of the 'Sun Arrow', it was imperative to stabilize South Los.

Therefore—

The 'War Elephants' under the 'Old Lion's banner and those accompanying 'Hidden Guards' must die.

Buzz!

The great sword swung with a terrifying whooshing sound towards the 'War Elephant'.

Unleashing her potential, the Female Swordmaster's height shot up from two and a half meters to three meters, her power doubling, yet still facing the height advantage of the 'War Elephant' who had also unleashed its limits.

She even... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

fell into disadvantage.

Clang!

Loud as a bell toll, a faint mark appeared on the 'War Elephant's arm armor, while the Female Swordmaster was forced to retreat several steps.
