Chapter 828 8th Soul Bone Absorbed

828 8th Soul Bone Absorbed While Blood and Smoke led Lothur away, the level 24 demon finally killed the creature created by his target after suffering a few bites from the pit bull.

'Damn it! That wretch has such extreme power?' He looked at the bloodied body of his opponent while he could no longer feel Lothur's spiritual fluctuation in the area.

Even though it was one level weaker than him, the pit bull that Lothur had used to buy time had been created based on the strengths of this level 24 man.

He had some strengths that could cause problems for this demon, forcing the creature to be careful with that black-furred dog.

But even though he had to be careful, the level 24 demon only needed 25 seconds to kill his opponent.

Unfortunately for him, that was enough time for Blood and Smoke.

'There were still two rats hiding in the area...' He clenched his fists, regretting that he had not noticed Lothur's two creations.

'They were probably similar creations to this animal.' The demon looked at the slaughtered dog on the ground. 'To hide from me, they probably had a high elemental affinity for light... Hmm, they must have been created from the bodies of members of the Ancestral Folk.'

After thinking about it, the demon understood the whole situation and sighed because he had lost his target.

"Guys, I need reinforcements. The bastard I chased escaped with a Soul Bone compatible with his body." He said as he took a high-level communicator from his spatial ring.

A few seconds after he spoke, a voice from the other side reached him. "Is this serious? How did he get this?"

"It was an oversight on my part. That bastard has a lot of abilities. But I think I've seen everything now. As much as he will probably get stronger, it won't be enough for him to challenge all of us." He replied.

"But what guarantees you that he will show himself again? Now that you've shown our goal of capturing him, he'll hide."

"No. I have an ace up my sleeve." He said as he looked at Lothur's women, whose bodies he had already brought closer to him, using his strength to keep them from dying.

"I believe I have things of value for him. He will come after them after he absorbs that bone."

"Oh? Okay, we will send a group of elders to you. Hide for the next few days."

"I will wait." He said before using one of his hands to make the seven Soul Bones that had formed in the area appear there.

Then he closed his hands and destroyed the seven Platinum-grade bones while some of the human Sages in the area looked at him ugly.

But this creature wasn't there for them, and they weren't there for him either.

Since the hybrid had fled, no one else there had any reason to stay!

...

Hours later, Blood and Smoke had stopped running, ensuring that their tracks would not be easily traced by their enemies.

09:50

Arriving in a sparsely populated area of a forest in Lenz, they led Lothur into a cave, where they immediately manipulated the surrounding space to disguise their presence.

"Creator, everything is ready for you." Blood said as she looked at Lothur, who had recovered considerably from the level 24 demon's blows during their escape.

But Lothur was still weakened and had pains here and there in his body.

However, he was fully capable of absorbing the Soul Bone in his spatial ring!

Eager to go after his women, Lothur picked up the bone and saw the system warning.

[Emperor Demon Radius Soul Bone] [Rank: Platinum]

[Feature: Once absorption begins, it will replace the right radius bone. It will become one of the 10 Soul Bones, increasing mental attributes by 115% and physical attributes by 130%. Its user will gain the skill called Nirvana.]

[Absorb the Emperor Demon Radius Soul Bone?]

'Yes!' Lothur replied without delay as he saw the standard Soul Bone absorption process begin, with the bone quickly entering his right arm.

Since he already had a 70% complete Spirit Body, absorbing this Soul Bone wouldn't cause him pain or labor.

It was just absorbing another essence.

With several bones closer to becoming Diamond grade, when the new bone entered Lothur's Spirit Body, such an essence would be quickly dominated.

But this time, he noticed something that hadn't happened to him for a long time.

'Remnant of a demon, huh?' Lothur remembered the sensation he had felt earlier coming from that bone.

'Nirvana... This must be related to some kind of second chance. That's why you're still here.' He realized it, even though he hadn't yet seen the system showing him the characteristics of this ability.

But as the superior there, even though that remnant was almost as strong as his original self, Lothur destroyed it again.

In doing so, he immediately felt the bone losing any restraint it had to fully bond with him. From then on, absorbing it would become much more straightforward, while Lothur would begin to feel the benefits of this absorption.

[Radius Soul Bone successfully fused with the host.]

Lothur saw the system's message when he opened his eyes just over two minutes after starting to absorb it.

At that moment, he felt as if he had become a different person, with power pulsing through his body in a totally different way than before.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Lineage: Life Devourer]

[Soul Cultivation: level 25]

[Body Cultivation: level 24]

[STR: 11,937] [CON: 24,150]

[DEX: 12,305] [AGI: 12,420]

[INT: 3,437] [PER: 14,598]

[WIL: 7,632] [SOU: 47,300]

[EVF: 5]

Seeing his status with new values, Lothur clenched his fists as he stood up, full of the desire to return to where that demon had attacked him, take revenge for all that, and lead his women to Demon Island.

'With my level having reached this level, I'll be able to deal with anyone! Even a level 25 being won't be able to kill me with my current situation!' He thought confidently before looking at his new ability, but he was already planning to go on the hunt.

[Nirvana] [Rank: Platinum]

[Characteristics: Nirvana is a physical-spiritual ability. It can be manipulated to change the fate of those marked by death, preventing the end or even giving a new start to those already without salvation.]

[Progress: 35%]
