Chapter 854 Awakening

Weeks had passed in the blink of an eye since the first demon attack on the cities of Concordia.

Following the first successful attack by the demon tribe, several similar incidents exploded across the continent, and the local forces saw the beginning of a war that many still hoped would not come to pass.

Unfortunately, those hopes were in vain. In just a few weeks, the first million people to die in this war perished in the face of terrorist attacks by demons between levels 19 and 22.

These attacks greatly alarmed the continent's defense forces, who could not do much to stop the enemy attacks in the first moments of the war, arriving too late to the victimized locations or even being eliminated by the demon groups themselves.

Thus, the war had begun, and the demons had the initial advantage!

However, several thousand demons had fallen in battles across the continent. In particular, most of the demons who had gone to Leopoldine had failed in their missions, having encountered powerful local forces.

The Ritter family had been working like never before, and the spy wing led by the Koch family had expanded more than twentyfold in the past ninety days. However, with the recent increase in the number of vehicles around Leopoldine and the mainland, the family's espionage was unable to keep up with everything happening.

However, the Koch family did an exemplary job within Leopoldine, as they prevented major disasters throughout the empire.

Without them, at least 200,000 Leopoldine citizens would have died in the last month!

lightsnοvεl Meanwhile, the Ritter family, who had noticed dangerous things in their cities a few times in the past few weeks, had successfully eliminated the groups of demons that were trying to act in their state.

With the new Soul Bones generated from these confrontations, several Sages from the Ritter Motor Company's alliance of partners reached the completion of their Spirit Bodies!

Mabel herself had reached her 9th Soul Bone and was one step away from reaching the peak of cultivation on this continent.novE)LB.In

In addition to her, the Jansen Family's 5th-stage elders were doing very well. Some of them had reached level 24, and Mabel had reached level 25 in both soul and body cultivation.

As they grew stronger and the empire remained stable, the demand for Ritter Motor Company's cars remained high, with powers from all over the continent wanting to buy them to use in their communications.

As a continent's defense coalition member, the Ritter Motor Company prioritized the delivery of vehicles to the coalition, gradually dominating communications in Concordia.

The company had access to more than 80% of Concordia's land in just a few weeks!

They could not process 30% of the information coming in, but those numbers were changing daily.

...

While Linn Province was becoming one of the most desirable places on the continent, a group of high-level demons kept a close eye on the area.

After several defeats of their groups in Leopoldine last month, some high-level demons watched this state, especially the richest province in the empire today.

These high-level demons, who had ignored the area for a long time, looked with different eyes at where Morning Star had fallen in the past.

Coincidentally, an unimaginable power had appeared in this city just as they tried to dominate the continent again!

"This is wrong. This place shouldn't be so powerful." One of the three demons observing Peters City from afar commented, sensing the aura of level 24 and even level 25 Sages in such a city.

But as worried as they were, one of them looked in the direction of a level 25 woman who had such high power but such an ordinary soul that he couldn't help but notice the value of her body.

"We need to alert the strongest elders of the tribe. This woman of the 4th Catastrophe probably has a body cultivation of almost the 5th Catastrophe. If our leader can devour her body, he'll be able to increase his strength with ease." This demon said while looking at Mabel.

The other two noticed this was indeed the case. They realized such a woman with a Spirit body at 90% completion must have a strong Constitution for her cultivation level, considering her weak soul energy.

With the possibility that Mabel really did have a powerful Constitution, they didn't hesitate and immediately moved to alert their superiors and send the strongest demons to this city.

...

Though Mabel had no idea of the problems that lay ahead, she continued her work of vigilance and local administration.

But no matter how strong she had become, reaching a Constitution comparable to that of level 25 beasts, even superior to that of the Demon Emperor, she was aware of the danger.

Even though she didn't consider herself a target of the demons, she was fully aware the nail that stood out was the one to be hammered.

As such, she was prepared for anything!

While helping the Koch family increase the number of men spying on people's conversations in the empire and other states, she had stored a Gold-grade Soul Bone in her spatial ring.

This bone was the same type as the last space she had in her body to absorb and complete her Spirit Body!

She didn't want to absorb it yet, as she thought she could get something better in no time. Ideally, she would absorb a Platinum-grade bone!

However, knowing there were dangers nearby, she used this bone as a guarantee. If something worse happened, she wouldn't hesitate to absorb it and complete her Spirit Body!

At the level she was at, with her Spirit Body almost complete, it would take her less than 30 seconds to absorb a Gold-grade bone.

With her Constitution exceeding 90,000 points, she was confident she could withstand the Demon Emperor's attacks for a few minutes, enough to complete her Spirit Body.

Therefore, even though she was tense and dealing with many issues simultaneously, she wasn't afraid of dying.

But she was worried about her daughters, who might become even bigger targets than her!

'I hope the coalition helps them as soon as possible...' She thought to herself in Peters City.

...

Meanwhile, in a volcanic area where very little life could be felt nearby, a space cloud that had been on top of a volcano for 100 days was finally showing signs of disappearing.

After remaining practically motionless for so many days, it suddenly vibrated intensely and began to lose its density, gradually disappearing as if it were an illusion.

Where it had been, the body of a silver-haired young man who had a level 23 of soul cultivation suddenly appeared there.

"I'm finally back. I hope I didn't take too long!"
