Chapter 590 Sudden Change



As he positioned himself near the tomb of the creator of this Secret Realm, Lothur smiled mysteriously before joining his two hands together as if he was about to say a prayer.

However, he was not going to do such a thing. Instead, he would use his soul power in conjunction with his physical power to activate his lineage ability in this way for the first time.

The great toad felt something terrifying coming from Lothur and jumped away, leaving that graveyard in one leap.

'What is it?' It wondered as it slowly saw a red shadow appearing behind Lothur.

Simultaneous with the escape of that level 18 beast, the patterns that normally appeared on Lothur's face appeared in the same way as always, with his eyes turning red and a pentagram appearing on his forehead.

But instead of a red mist leaving his fingers, as it normally happens, a red silhouette began to form behind him.

This silhouette first appeared with its legs, arms, and torso, without its head. But in a second instance, this relevant part appeared, while some traces on it became clear for beings at a distance from that graveyard to see.

A pair of shiny horns covered by black inscriptions were on this creature's head. In the middle of this silhouette's forehead was a crystal pentagram, glowing in a deep red that would make anyone in the vicinity feel afraid of this glow.

Lothur continued with his hands joined, but the silhouette behind him raised his arms vertically, with his palm facing the sky.

When he made this movement, red flames appeared all over that graveyard, especially in the tomb in front of Lothur, where the weakest point of the seal about this place was.

Lothur looked in the direction of where the remnants of the demons there should be and saw that they had all turned away from the weakest point of the seal, fearing it.

He then made his red flames devour the remnants of the corpses in that graveyard, which gave this seal strength to continue standing.

Once he broke the seal, nothing else would stand in his way, and he could deal with these three remnants!

The toad saw what Lothur was doing but could do nothing. All that was in its mind at the moment was an absurd incomprehension about how this human could do this.

It didn't have as powerful sensory abilities as its master. But it was a powerful level 18 beast, so it could tell what Lothur was doing was not simple.

Those flames could burn even the soul remnants of powerful demons!

Those demons had been Saints in life. Now, they were dead, and their remnants had only a fraction of their greatness. But even so...

In front of Lothur, they were no more than children hiding behind a flimsy door!

It was just a pity that to break through that door, Lothur would have to destroy the remnants of the human elders who had for so long protected this place after their deaths.

'Sigh... At least now they will be able to rest in peace.' It thought as it watched the red sea in that graveyard.

At the same time, the spectres that had fled earlier slowly disappeared from the surroundings, burning in red flames for just looking in the direction of the silhouette behind Lothur.

Beasts in the surroundings, even beings at level 17, were watching in his direction with wide eyes, feeling as if the day of final judgment had come.

In front of that display of absolute power, all beings in the surroundings could die with just a thought from him!

'Who is this? Why is there such a monster in the Secret Realm? Where did he come from?'

These questions arose in the minds of beasts while they were paralyzed with fear.

...

While Lothur was acting to overcome the barriers in that graveyard, Viktoria, Elke, and Larissa were looking in his direction from where they were now.

They were in area 17, a stronger area than the one he had left them hours ago.

But even though they were several miles away from Lothur, they were all looking in his direction with wide eyes, feeling the terrible sensation coming from that graveyard.

Gulp!

"What is that?" Larissa wondered while Viktoria and Elke were thinking the same thing.

'That's Lothur's ability!'

'But why is she so much stronger?' Viktoria wondered as Elke asked herself her own questions.

'Has he succeeded in his plans?'

Besides them, the other young people in the Secret Realm were also shocked, even those in Area 16 watching toward where Lothur was acting, feeling fear.

...

Meanwhile, in the plaza in front of the Morning Star Academy...

"How is this possible?"

"How did Lothur raise his score so suddenly? For that matter, did he advance twice?"

"That must be wrong. If Lothur advanced twice, he would already be a Nascent Soul Transcendent, at the very least!"

People were discussing the sudden change that had just happened in the Secret Realm's overall ranking.

In the last few minutes, Lothur suddenly moved from the 8th position in the ranking and reached 1st place!

- 1st Lothur Ritter: 4,999

- 2nd Viktoria Frost: 1,236

- 3rd Larissa Carstensen: 1,110

- 4th Elke Becker: 959

...

- 15th Boris Huwe: 19

This is how the ranking looked after the recent change brought about by Lothur.

Amidst the discussions in that place, the Nascent Soul Transcendents there to apprehend Lothur couldn't help but worry about what was happening.

"Has he reached our level?" The man asked the woman.

"Possibly. That alone would explain such a high score." She said, with concern in her voice.

"Then we must prepare ourselves. He will leave the Secret Realm in a few hours, and if we are not ready, he can escape."

The woman agreed. "If he escapes from us, the empire will face the greatest crisis in its history. Alongside Daemon, he could destroy the local order!"

The two immediately began assembling their formations, items that the emperor had paid dearly to use against invaders from his state, individuals at the same level as him, level 18.

...

Meanwhile, in the Three Great Lakes Region...

A woman dressed entirely in black was eating roasted fish from a fire in front of her while alone in one of the most dangerous areas of that region.

But she was not alone in lack of choice. After all, a powerful Divine Soul Transcendent would not lack options to accompany them.

She was alone by choice, and when she felt something strange, she couldn't help but scream at herself.

'That feeling...'

"Lothur!" Her eyes opened suddenly, shaking vigorously with the fear of what might happen from now on.

"Damn it, I have to talk to the damned Daemon!" She left her campfire and flew off in the direction of where that man was supposed to be.
