Chapter 837 The End of Castle of Shadow

Under Lothur's attacks, more than half of the group of demons around him were quickly immobilized, unable to move as his Gravity pressed them down.

At the same time, the two level 24 creatures and some of the strongest level 23 Sages tried to keep their distance from Lothur, afraid to get too close.

Prometheus Flames!

However, with the burning flame creatures attacking them and Lothur himself flying through the area at high speed, there was no way they could escape him for long.

In just one minute, only the two level 24 demons were conscious and moving around this area of the Castle of Shadows. At the same time, Lothur attacked them, flying at high speed and giving them no time to react to his movements.

'Damn it, that bastard's too fast!'

'Bloody hell! How did we let that creature get to such a high level?' The other wondered, seeing that even the high elders of his tribe would have a hard time dealing with Lothur the way he was right now.

In this situation where they couldn't attack Lothur and were hit by his powerful blows every few moments, these two demons soon lost control of their bodies and fell under the influence of their opponent.

Life Devourer!

Finally, Lothur activated his bloodline ability, causing a red mist to appear in the area while all the demons, conscious or not, had their vitality and characteristics stolen by the young Ritter.

In the blink of an eye, he saw their resistances jump a few points towards the top of the progress bar, with the first resistances passing 80% and the most advanced of them reaching 88%, very close to the peak.

His Soul Bones also improved immediately upon receiving the attributes of these demons, increasing by an average of 5%.

While this happened, Lothur's EVF points skyrocketed, quickly surpassing 100,000 points!

[EVF: 5 -> 108,026]

...

[3,600 points added to SOU at the cost of 108,000 EVF.]

...

[SOU: 47,300 -> 50,900]

...

[EVF: 108,026 -> 26]

Lothur saw his improvements take effect quickly, while Blood and Smoke had already devoured 8 spectres together and continued to advance. 

Meanwhile, the level 24 spectres were getting closer and closer to the water wheel of the River of Souls, not far from being exterminated and sent back to the cycle of reincarnation.

Seeing it developing, Lothur moved in and activated his Black Flames to dominate most of the creatures in the Castle of Shadows that were not already under his control.

He easily overpowered all level 23 spectres, leaving the level 22 ones trapped under the River of Souls, knowing that Blood and Smoke would finish them off in a few moments.

Looking at the level 24 Sages, the weakest of which had 37,000 Soul points and the strongest of which had just over 50,000, Lothur decided to tame those with less than 40,000 Soul points and eliminate the rest.

Blood and Smoke were unlikely to be able to absorb the stronger ones, and Lothur couldn't easily tame the more powerful ones.

Feeling that it would be better to wipe them out right away, Lothur regained control of the River of Souls, causing all the stronger ones to be drawn even more strongly to the water wheel of reincarnation.

'Return to the world the power you should not have!' Lothur made the wheel of reincarnation absorb the spirits of those creatures, quickly cleansing their souls of all their emotions and powers and returning their pure essences to the world.

The water wheel of the River of Soul grew larger after absorbing those spirits, attracting Lothur's attention.

'Hmmm, maybe if I use this on a large scale, I might have a chance to repair the wheel of reincarnation.' He anticipated a solution to the problem of the spectres.

Unfortunately, it would require him to use a great deal of his power, which would cause a great deal of spiritual disturbance that would attract the attention of all the experts in this world. He had no way to do this at the moment without exposing himself, and he thought it would be dangerous and inefficient.

'I will test my theory when I reach level 26.' Lothur thought, imagining this would be possible when he absorbed his 9th Soul Bone.

Unfortunately, he didn't know when that would be. None of the 10 Platinum-grade Soul Bones that had just formed in the area above the Castle of Shadows were compatible with him.

However, two of these bones were compatible with his women, one with Viktoria and the other with Annaliese.

If Lothur could save them, he could help them greatly increase their strength in a short time!

That would be the next step in destroying the demons of this world!

Looking at Blood and Smoke, Lothur dispelled the River of Soul while the spectres under his command knelt down to await his orders.

Meanwhile, the two felines dealt with the level 22 individuals who were now loose but completely at a loss as to what to do in this situation.

Lothur was a terrible monster that could easily kill them, and the two cats had already devoured seven level 22 spectres each and didn't seem interested in stopping what they were doing.

With their allies dead or overpowered, these creatures were doomed.

Their fate was to perish here with the fall of the Castle of Shadows.

"Damn, you! You'll pay for this, hybrid! Don't think you're the strongest in the world! You will suffer bitterly for what you have done!"

Lothur ignored the creature, and with a wave of his hand, the flames that covered the area and the storm of blades above it disappeared.

"Blood, Smoke, I want you to stay here and devour all these spectres. You will not accompany me for a while." Lothur looked around the castle, looking for things that could help him.

While fighting their level 22 opponents, Blood and Smoke asked Lothur.

"What will the creator do?"

"It will take you at least two weeks to devour all those spectres and digest their power. I can't wait for that, so I'm going to the mainland to look for my women." Lothur said, already inside the spectre's castle. 

"We will do our best to get back to the creator as soon as possible." The two said.

"Hmm. I'll leave these Soul Bones with you. I want you to come to me when you're done. I think I'll be close to saving my women by then. So your job will be to save the four of them and give them these bones." He said.

"Okay."

As Lothur's creations, these two could meet their creator whenever he wanted.

Lothur intended to let them sense his location while they were apart so that they could go to him as soon as they landed in that place.

With these spectres, they could certainly increase their powers a lot, which would allow them to help save Viktoria, Elke, Annaliese, and Rebecca.

But before he left that place, Lothur saw something in the castle's depths that caught his attention!
