Chapter 834 Departure

Chapter 834  Departure 

While some of the strongest people in the Ancestral Region were talking about Lothur, he and Cykad had already left the region, having reached the north of the Petha Empire after crossing a long region.

Arriving at a place where he could no longer be tracked, Lothur finally stopped while Cykad thanked him for coming after him.

"Thank you for saving me, Lothur. I honestly didn't expect to see you again after that day." Cykad said with difficulty, still quite hurt by what the level 24 demon had done to him.

"No need to thank me. We're companions and old friends." Lothur said as he looked at the dinosaur in front of him.

Cykad was severely injured. He had been treated well enough not to be in danger of dying, but he was far from well, with several broken bones and some parts of his body missing.

His spiritual veins were blocked, and several of his muscles were torn.

As he was, Cykad was practically a cripple!

Seeing Lothur examining his body with one of this young man's abilities, Cykad asked. "And the others? How are they?"

Lothur replied. "I don't know. The demon took Viktoria, Annaliese, Rebecca and Elke.

When I finished killing the eight demons that day, Blood and Smoke managed to use a distraction of the enemy and get me out of the area. Unfortunately, they couldn't help you and the rest."

"I see..." He said, thanking Blood and Smoke in his mind.

Cykad couldn't sense Lothur's level at the moment. But he knew who the elder was who had been knocked down by this silver-haired young man in a single move.

That was a glorious 3rd Catastrophe Sage who had reached this level a long time ago and shouldn't be far from advancing.

The legendary level 25 was said to be the highest level that could be reached without using the Seven Singularities.

Now that Lothur had defeated someone like that, he was so strong that he could probably be considered unstoppable!

'They did well! If these four die, it'll be a shame. But at least the one who can eliminate the demon race is okay.' Cykad thought to himself.

But he would never say that to Lothur because he knew how important these women were to his ally, and it wouldn't do them any good to say it.

Then he commented. "That's a shame... But what are you going to do now?"

"I plan to attack the Castle of Shadows with Blood and Smoke in a few weeks. After that, I'll focus on finding that demon. I have a feeling that as soon as I show myself acting against demons, he'll threaten me somehow and try to lure me into a trap.

That will be my moment to act!"

"Well... Unfortunately, I can't help you much, so I'll cheer for your success from where I will be." Cykad sighed.

"Not so fast, my friend." Lothur smiled. "I have a new skill that may help you rebuild your body.

It won't be enough for you to regain 100% of your strength, but I believe you will be about 80% as strong as you were before that fateful day."

"Is that true?" Cykad looked at Lothur with a gleam in his eye.

80% of what he was that day was already stronger than when he began his journey alongside Lothur!

Lothur nodded at him before he gave permission to do whatever was necessary.

Seeing the great creature beckoning to him, Lothur immediately activated the Nirvana skill for the first time, placing both of his hands on Cykad's wounded chest as the energy in the area condensed around them.

Almost immediately after activating his ability, a cocoon of white light surrounded Cykad's massive body as he watched his wounds change and felt a drowsy sensation.

In minutes, Cykad's body shrank in size and volume, becoming about 20% smaller, something extreme for someone as large as an adult dinosaur.

However, as his body became smaller, his wounds closed, and his broken or fractured bones returned to their best condition while new body structures grew on Cykad's amputated limbs.

'This...'

Cykad was aware of all these changes as he became drowsy, feeling no pain but noticing a strange sensation in his being.

He felt as if Lothur was manipulating his soul while restructuring his body, something very strange and unique.

But trusting Lothur, Cykad didn't despair and soon felt these sensations diminish in intensity while his fatigue waned to the same degree as the power of the young Ritter's ability.

After nearly 40 minutes of intense use of his powers, Lothur was nearly exhausted, but he had finished restoring Cykad's body, having restructured it internally and externally, even subtly altering his friend's soul.

When he was finished, Lothur looked at Cykad's status and saw his old acquaintance's current power level.

[Name: Cykad] [Body Cultivation: Level 22] [STR: 5,500] [CON: 6,000] [DEX: 5,794] [AG: 5,655] "You are not weak, Cykad. With a few pills and some meditation time, you'll be able to reach the 2nd Catastrophe in no time." Lothur said, smiling at his companion.

Feeling his own powers as Lothur spoke, Cykad realized that his ally wasn't just telling him this to give him hope.

He really could move forward easily with the help of resources.

Moreover, Cykad felt that Lothur had healed him and cleansed his body of old impurities that could hinder him from absorbing cultivation resources. As he was now, he felt that in a few weeks, he could become stronger than he had been when the level 24 demon had almost finished his journey in the cultivation world!

"Thank you, Lothur! I promise to do my best to help you with demons and spectres!"

Lothur smiled and said as he threw some resources to Cykad. "Use these things to strengthen yourself. In the meantime, stay here and use these resources. This area will be safe enough for you, and absorbing these essences shouldn't take too long."

Cykad didn't refuse Lothur's help and quickly took what he had.

"After that, do as you see fit. You've already done a lot against the demonic threat. Whether or not you continue your master's mission now depends solely on your will." Lothur said as he turned away from Cykad, breathing more deeply as he prepared to leave.

"Now is my time. I hope to hear from you in the future, Cykad." "Hmm, good luck on your journey. I also hope to hear about your crusade against demons." Cykad said as he watched Lothur disappear, heading southeast toward the coast from where the young Ritter, Blood, and Smoke would leave for the Castle of Shadows.
