Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 402 - 245: Family Advancement, Breakthroughs, Breakthroughs II

After Count Engle gave his instructions, he sat cross-legged and swallowed a drop of the Essence of Life.

The Essence of Life entered his mouth and instantly transformed into a rich Power of Life, spreading to his limbs and bones. His previous injuries and exhaustion began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A moment later.

Count Engle took a long breath.

When he opened his eyes, the single drop of Essence of Life had healed all his internal injuries and advanced his Life Source Power slightly, bringing him just a step away from the mid-stage of a Sky Knight.

Without any hesitation.

Count Engle swallowed another drop of the Essence of Life.

This time, the Essence of Life did not need to repair his body, and the enormous Life Essence Qi erupted swiftly. The Life Source Power within Engle began to grow rapidly, and the forces of the sky and earth started to quickly solidify.

A moment later.

"Boom!"

A majestic aura surged up, and with the aid of this drop of Essence of Life, Count Engle stepped directly into the mid-stage of a Sky Knight.

He glanced at Michael, who was still meditating in the distance, and swallowed another drop of the Essence of Life.

Time slowly passed.

Unfortunately, as two drops of Essence of Life were ingested, their effects began to diminish.

His aura continued to rise but ultimately did not reach the late stage of a Sky Knight, instead getting stuck at the mid-stage peak.

Opening his eyes, Count Engle couldn’t help but shake his head.

Even though he had anticipated this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed at the moment.

After a slight hesitation, Count Engle didn’t bring out another drop of the Essence of Life. Although he knew that, at most, he only needed two more drops to likely break through to the late stage of a Sky Knight, using them this way seemed wasteful.

The effect of a single drop of the Essence of Life was even comparable to a bottle of High-Level Life Potion.

He simply couldn’t bring himself to waste it like that.

At that moment.

"Boom!"

A massive eruption of Life Source Power occurred, and the turbulent Life Source Power within Michael’s body turned into something tangible in an instant.

"He broke through!"

Count Engle instantly looked over at Michael, his expression filled with excitement.

Even though he already knew that with the Silver Moon Breathing Technique and two drops of the Essence of Life, the possibility of Michael failing the breakthrough was negligible,

When the breakthrough actually happened, Count Engle couldn’t help but feel exhilarated.

A Sky Knight—another Sky Knight was added to the Dressrosa Family.

With two Sky Knights, the Dressrosa Family could potentially become not just a Marquis but a formidable Marquis, and if managed well, might even advance to a top-level Marquis.

Once they became a top-level Marquis, the Dressrosa Family would have completed several tiers of ascension, truly stepping into the top circles of the Kingdom.

The resources and opportunities they could access in the future would be completely different.

Even a powerful Marquis rarely had the possibility of having a Sky Knight born in each generation, but the top three Marquis could almost reliably produce a Sky Knight, which meant the Dressrosa Family truly rose to prominence.

Yet, it wasn’t just Michael who was breaking through at this moment.

As the Essence of Life was bestowed.

On the other side, Chesire also stepped into the Earth Knight Peak, and various other remaining knights began to break through as well.

Even more than just breakthroughs, their talents increased dramatically in a short period.

Their future was undoubtedly broader than the original trajectory.

When one after another opened their eyes, the hardships and horrors faced during this time transformed into excitement and enthusiasm.

Many even trembled with excitement.

Especially as two figures actually crossed into Earth Knight.

Earth Knight—it was a level they might never have had the chance to reach in their entire lives, but in this moment, after just a brief period of cultivation, they had already crossed into Earth Knight.

This moment filled them with emotions so intense they nearly cried.

Although others didn’t break through to Earth Knight, they clearly felt a change in their own talents.

This change was even more thrilling than their cultivation breakthroughs.

After the group had stabilized for a while, about a day passed.

Count Engle, along with everyone, began heading back the way they came.

Even though he didn’t break through to the late-stage Sky Knight, the mid-stage peak Sky Knight, Count Engle, now had enough ability to protect himself against a Tier Four Peak Magical Beast alone, not to mention the newly breakthrough Michael, along with Chesire, who also stepped into Earth Knight Peak, and two more Earth Knights.

They were more than sufficiently prepared.

And that Tier Four Peak Magical Beast had a Law Fragment; resolving it would undoubtedly yield another.

The choice was obvious.

Meanwhile, as Count Engle and his party prepared for a significant harvest and revenge,

On the other side, Thor had already taken action.

No danger was indicated in the daily reports.

The next day, he took Anna and set out.

Instead of returning to the Harbor, they went to find the Ice Attribute Law Fragment first.

After all, it wasn’t too far away.

The Abyssal Storm had ended in time.

However, without the Abyssal Storm, they still faced issues; many magical beasts converged in the core area, making the number of magical beasts overwhelming. As soon as they left the cave, they encountered several groups of magical beasts.

Tier One and Two magical beasts backed away after sensing the Earth Bear’s presence.

But Tier Three magical beasts got more excited sensing the Earth Bear.

Because an Earth Bear cub could enhance their bloodline.

Unavoidably, battles erupted.

Thor and Anna killed over a dozen Tier Three magical beasts, yet many more Tier Three magical beasts kept approaching.

"Damn, these magical beasts are too many!"

Thor cursed under his breath, although these Tier Three magical beasts posed no real threat, they were indeed irritating.

And because these Tier Three magical beasts posed no danger, coupled with a significant amount of important intelligence now available, their presence wasn’t indicated in the daily reports.

More crucially, the recently sealed Pet Beast Contract’s space was still under construction, requiring a few more days, so he couldn’t store the Earth Bear in its Pet Beast Space just yet.

Left with no choice, Thor changed his plan, opting to rendezvous with the Knight Order first.

With the Knight Order, dealing with the magical beasts would be relatively easier.

Otherwise, continuous slaying was exhausting even for him.

"Anna!"

He called out.

Anna nodded, raising her magic wand to release a glow.

The next moment, both figures rose into the air, flying towards the Knight Order’s Harbor in the distance.

Although magic flight could not compare to the flight of a Sky Knight,

Without obstacles and the Abyssal Storm, they returned to the Harbor in about three hours.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

Seeing Thor’s return, the Knight Order members couldn’t help but smile.

Reine and Marshall quickly came forward to greet them.
