Chapter 836 Lothur's Means

An instant after alerting Blood and Smoke, Lothur appeared above the Castle of Shadows, where he could feel more than 90 auras above the 5th stage at that very moment.

Immediately on stopping above that place, Lothur felt the strongest of the Castle of Shadows sensing him coming, giving him no room even to make his initial move.

[Unknown Spectre *] 

[Soul Cultivation: level 25]

[INT: 19,028] [PER: 31,258] 

[WIL: 39,654] [SOU: 79,999]

Lothur saw that creature that only had mental attributes and opened his mouth, seeing how powerful that creature could be considered.

'Almost 80,000 Soul points... If Blood and Smoke could devour it, they could improve more than a thousand Soul points in a single meal. Lothur looked into the eyes of that terrible creature while the two kittens on his shoulder trembled from the crackling sensation it was exuding.

But before anything could happen, other high-level spectres appeared in the area, individuals with Soul attributes of between 10,000 and 50,000 points.

As well as spectres, more than 10 demons also appeared in the vicinity, most of them level 23 beings, but two level 24 demons among the group.

Lothur saw the status of the strongest one.

[Unknown Demon *] 

[Soul Cultivation: level 24]

[Body Cultivation: level 23] 

[STR: 13,000] [CON: 15,200] 

[DEX: 13,500] [AGI: 14,200]

[INT: 9,028] [PER: 11,258] 

[WIL: 13,654] [SOU: 41,899]

Seeing all these creatures around him, Lothur prepared to pick up the Darkness Scythe, but he didn't move immediately, aware that this would frighten his target.

Meanwhile, the level 25 spectre glared at Lothur, understanding who he was and why he was there.

"Hybrid, you made a mistake coming here. As strong as you've become, it's nothing against me." He said, emitting a powerful aura that could make even the demons in the area tremble.

Without waiting for an answer from his enemy, the leader of the Castle of Shadow flew towards Lothur's body so fast that only the level 24 Sages in the area could see his movement.

But even to them, the spectre was instantly ahead of their entire group, and then it entered Lothur's body.

As he felt the spectre enter his body, Lothur smiled.

[Level 25 Spectre detected in the host's body...]

[Exterminate it?]

Yes!

While inside Lothur's body, this level 25 spectral creature looked into what should have been its target's sea of spirit and saw a demonic energy approaching it.

Suddenly, the ancient creature's expression changed as he realized his mistake.

'So that was it... You do have that mark. No wonder you dare to enter my castle. Tsk! Unfortunately, I fell into your trap.' He made an ugly face, but he knew he was completely defenseless against that.

'Who would know... I fell for the chosen one of my own...'

Before he could finish his thought, his existence was extinguished entirely as steam billowed from Lothur's pores, marking the end of a powerful level 25 spectre.

"Shit!"

'Don't touch him!' A level 24 demon immediately understood what had just happened and told those in the area through his mental communication. 'That hybrid is the chosen one of the Demon Emperor. Spectres are vulnerable to him!'

'What? How is that possible?' Asked the second strongest spectre in the area.

'The Demon Emperor created you and made the Castle of Shadows possible. But if he created you, he could certainly destroy you!' The other level 24 demon shouted.

'What? Why didn't you tell us this before?' Another level 24 spectre asked as everyone in his group backed away a few feet from Lothur.

'We didn't know this hybrid had such a characteristic. But seeing what just happened, it's the only explanation. No one but the Demon Emperor should have this ability. That is clearly a mark of his!'

While they talked, Lothur took the Darkness Scythe from his spatial ring and immediately activated the ability River of Souls.

As he moved his weapon, a water wheel of darkness quickly formed, displaying an aura and size ten times larger than when Lothur had last used it.

Not only had his soul power recently increased significantly, but his affinities and resistances had also improved greatly.

With a more complete Spirit Body and not far from reaching the Diamond grade, Lothur now had much more ability to use the full power of the Darkness Scythe!

"Shit! That bastard has that weapon!"

One of the level 24 spectres shouted, feeling the power of that thing attracting not only him but all the ghosts in the place, nearly 80 individuals!

"Time to say goodbye, you damned creatures!" Lothur said for the first time, flashing a devilish grin at those around him.

But he was no fool. Before anyone, demon or spectre, could attempt to flee, walls of black flame appeared around the area while a storm of blades formed behind the dark wall.

Anyone who tried to escape would face two powerful barriers that could seriously injure even level 24 Sages!

He was there to exterminate all these creatures, and he wouldn't be pious or foolish enough to let some of them escape!

"Damn it! We have to use everything!" 

The demons realized it wouldn't be easy for them to get out of this place alive and started to move to attack Lothur.

Seeing it, Lothur said to Blood and Smoke. "Time for you to act! Attack the level 22 and 23 spectres. I'll trap them in the spectral pull of the River of Souls."

"Okay!" Neither of them was bothered, knowing that without Lothur's help, they wouldn't be able to survive so many spectres from those levels.

There were more than 70 individuals from these two planes in the area!

They would surely die if they actively fought them without Lothur's help!

Since they were there to strengthen themselves and reach a level necessary to help their master, these two didn't ask Lothur for anything and continued doing what they were supposed to do.

While his two feline companions acted against their first targets, Lothur activated his gravity to draw some of the demons towards him.

But against the strongest in the area, he would need more than that.

With that in mind, Lothur used another of his abilities, creating a giant of flames to attack his targets, forcing them to come closer.

'Come to me... I will devour you as I will devour the cursed one who took my women.' Lothur thought with hatred in his eyes.
