Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 598 Demon Ambush

?

Sometime later...

The two imperial guards carrying Lothur and Ice finally left the Imperial Army barracks in Cavaliere, heading south, where the Imperial Prison was located.

This time they were accompanied by two more men responsible for entering and registering new prisoners from the Imperial Prison.

The Third Prince already intended to imprison Lothur in the Imperial Prison, so for some days now, these two men had been waiting for the arrival of the guards with this enemy in Cavaliere.

The Imperial Prison was a special place that few could access due to the many restrictions required for its operation.

Only authorized personnel could get close to the place, and they were the only ones who had the means to enter.

Anyway, they were flying at great speed, following a relatively short path for them. At the same time, they had the silver semi-transparent sphere with Lothur and Ice trapped inside.

As they flew silently, Lothur made a pained expression as his eyes moved beneath his eyelids.

After a few breaths and coughs, with some blood dripping from his mouth, he opened his eyes, showing exhaustion and pain as he did so.

'Uh? Where am I? What happened?' He saw that he was flying and immediately began to look around for where he was, who was in his surroundings.

As he did so, he remembered what had happened when he left the Secret Realm.

'Damn it. I've been caught!' He clenched his fists as he couldn't move inside that sphere, both because of the items limiting his movements and Ice's presence there.

He saw this fox and sighed in relief that it was still alive.

To Lothur, Ice's action had shown how loyal it was to him and that he could always count on this beast.

So he couldn't help but thank it. "Thanks for trying, mate."

Ice still didn't understand human language, so it only showed concern in its eyes, feeling that they would meet their end at the end of this journey.

'What are we going to do?' That was the meaning of the look on its face.

Lothur could not read minds but knew what his fellow beast wanted to ask.

"I don't know. First, I have to recover. Then, if I can activate my bloodline again, I'm confident we can free ourselves from this situation." He muttered as he felt that he would have to wait at least another 16 hours or so before he would have a chance to try such a thing.

But as he was thinking about this in frustration, he suddenly saw something in the distance that caught his attention.

He may have had his strength saddled, but his visual ability was still working.

In his current state, he couldn't use the maximum of what he had, much less the laser ray. But he could see better than cultivators of his level, so he was the first of this group to notice something in the way.

'Uh? What's that?' He saw a shadow hidden in a tree, while several similar ones were in the surroundings, forming a geometric figure he knew well.

'A pentagram? Is that some kind of formation?' Lothur frowned and immediately controlled his emotions to avoid attracting attention from these four individuals.

After a few more seconds, suddenly, a woman appeared in front of that group, floating above the area where the pentagram was.

She had a beautiful face, white hair, red eyes, and lips in a pulsating red that contrasted greatly with her snow-colored skin.

Her contours were extraordinary, with both her lower and upper body measuring large but totally in balance with the rest of her body.

She looked perfect!

Because of this, Lothur immediately placed her at number 1 among the most beautiful women he had ever seen.

'Who is this?' He wondered, looking at Fabienne.

Fabienne ignored her son and looked at those four men. "Please, please help this lady... Demons are chasing me!"

Immediately those four stopped flying, looking at that beauty while all of them, including the only woman there, felt flames in their bodies ignite.

They all looked lustfully at that woman, unaware she was a demon!

Emperor demons were no different from humans in their appearances. Everything about them was made so that they could integrate into human communities and hide perfectly.

To understand how terrible these beings were, even a member of the Seraphim Church, a demon hunter, would have a hard time identifying an Emperor demon just by its appearance.

If the Emperor didn't show its demonic mark and its abilities, it was impossible to identify them!

Precisely because of this, upon seeing that seductive, hard-to-take beauty, those individuals did not doubt that this was just a helpless beauty running away from demons.

Her clothes were torn, and there were some mud and blood stains on her arms and legs, with a demonic aura around them.

Because of that, these four immediately believed her story and put up their defensive positions to prepare for the nearby demons.

"Where are they?" The level 17 man asked, while the others felt a little fear in their hearts, for if a level 16 woman like that was running away, that could only be an awful sign for them!

Fabienne was using one of her abilities to lower her cultivation level to level 16, but even if all four of them were level 17 cultivators, fighting against demons capable of endangering Soul Core Transcendents was a risk for cultivators who didn't know how to kill demons!

This was the case for the four of them, so they were a little afraid to hear of demons nearby.

Fabienne looked at them silently for a moment, seeing that she couldn't just kill those people. Without one of them being alive to deactivate those formations around her son, she would have difficulty freeing him.

Since this was a crucial moment when he had to escape as quickly as possible, she couldn't fail to get his freedom in full as quickly as possible!

"This way." She pointed away. "They are coming in that direction. I found them finishing devouring a human village, and unfortunately, I drew their attention."

One of those four clenched his fist, feeling that at least one of them should make their way to the Imperial Prison while the others solved this problem.

Lothur being arrested was important to the Third Prince. But at the end of the day, this young man was only a 'human.' However, one demon capable of threatening that woman's life was enough to throw the entire empire into chaos!

They had to act, even amid their mission!

That man looked at his companion and said. "Take Lothur and that beast to the Imperial Prison. We will accompany this little lady to deal with these demons."
