Chapter 821  Increasing the Difficulty 

Seeing these improvements, Lothur quickly converted his EVF points into Soul points as much as possible while his bloodline ability slowly dissipated with the end of life of the last of his targets.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

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

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Soul Cultivation: Level 23]

[Body Cultivation: Level 22]

[STR: 4,680] [CON: 7,600] [DEX: 4,900] [AGI: 4,980]

[EVF: 10]

As his characteristics stabilized at new levels, Lothur naturally felt the incredible sensation of becoming stronger.

But he didn't pay much attention to it. As the system showed him the data of his improvements, he looked at the Soul Bones of the two human bodies that had just turned to dust.

The two humans who had just been thrown at him were demon hunters with 7 bones each.

As soon as Lothur's bloodline ability eliminated their bodies, their bones separated from those existences and fell to the ground, emitting powerful spiritual fluctuations.

Even the first bones absorbed by a cultivator, which were usually of poor quality, could improve greatly over the course of their user's cultivation. As a result, even these bones could emit powerful spiritual fluctuations that were comparable to those of Platinum-grade bones.

When the 14 bones appeared near Lothur, his women looked in that direction and saw the result of their first battle with satisfaction.

They were helping Blood and Smike finish off their targets, preventing them from running or screaming. But with the battle almost over, they were all safe enough to pay attention to things other than their targets.

Cykad sighed at the sight of his group's victory, which had been easy for them but surely the only time it had happened.

After today, the groups behind the demons and humans killed there would change their protocols. The next time they attacked, their enemies would be more numerous, and the battles would be more difficult.

'I hope you can raise your level as soon as possible.' He thought about this while looking at these bones, hoping that as many of them as possible would be useful to this family.

While that dinosaur was thinking about it, Lothur quickly collected the bones and divided them into those that came from Emperor Demons and those that didn't.

Seeing their shapes, he already knew that of the bones from those humans, there were two that were compatible with his women but none that were compatible with him.

By combining them with the bones produced by the demons, he had a total of four bones that were compatible with his women, considering only their shapes and quality.

'Let's see their characteristics...' He thought as he touched the first of these four bones and quickly analyzed it.

A minute later, Blood and Smoke had finished their targets when Lothur opened his mouth to announce.

"We have obtained three soul bones that can be absorbed by you. Viktoria, Rebecca, and Elke, you'll be the first to raise your powers." He said while indicating to whom these bones would be useful.

Unfortunately, the last of the four bones was not spiritually compatible with Anna's powers. Even if one of them could be absorbed by her, it wouldn't bring her as many benefits as a compatible bone. Therefore, Lothur would not recommend that his women absorb such a bone.

But getting bones for three of them was already very good. This will probably not happen again in the future, and from now on, it will be much more difficult to find at least one compatible bone.

Finally, Lothur gave the bones to his women and said. "Let's go. We'll find a place for you to absorb these bones while I recover my innate ability. We'll fight again tomorrow!"

They soon left, fleeing the area that would soon be visited not only by demons but also by humans and beasts.

...

While Lothur and his women hid and began to absorb their bones, what had happened earlier quickly became news to those hunting for the demon-human hybrid.

The earlier group had been unable to make any distress calls before they were eliminated. However, the humans and the alliance of hybrid hunters checked on their groups every 24 hours to prevent them from suddenly disappearing.

When that group stopped sending their signals 5 hours after the incident, a group of investigators went to the place where they had been last.

Now, three level 23 Sages were at the place where four humans and three 5th-stage demons had been eliminated hours ago.

When they noticed the characteristic signs of that area that had been generated every time the hybrid had been seen in action over the past few months, they did not doubt what had happened there.

"It was him. He's finally moving!" The only beast in the group, a giant, six-meter tall, black-furred, very muscular ape, said, sensing the time had finally come for his alliance to act.

"Yes, but apparently he's much stronger." A white-haired old man dressed in the robes of the Seraphim Church commented, noting that those whom Lothur had targeted had died easily without showing any reaction.

This could only mean that he was much stronger now!

Hearing it, the last Sage there said. "We must warn all of our groups. They must return from their hunts and join our comrades who are watching the high-level demons on the continent.

The enemy will act again. So we must be ready to destroy him if he dares to show himself to our allies!"

Everyone there agreed.

But before they left the area, the beast asked. "But we must be careful of the demons. I sense that someone powerful from that race has come to this place before us.

It must have realized we're using its people as bait for the damned hybrid."

The stronger man narrowed his eyes, for that wasn't his only concern. 'This demon that was here is not normal. I'll have to warn the Church about him. Maybe we'll have to call one of the founders.' The man thought, a little worried about the aura left in this area, which belonged to a level 24 demon, a type of being that had not been seen on the continent for thousands of years!
