Chapter 880 Final Battle (1)
Chapter 880 Final Battle (1)
The moment the Demon Emperor's party, led by this level 26 peak creature, began to invade Demon Island, Lothur sensed the arrival of his opponents.
Sensing that someone had destroyed some of the storms around this area, he stopped slaughtering the demons to look in the direction the Demon Emperor was coming from.
But unlike last time, Lothur was confident enough to face his enemy this time!
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

After improving his attributes a bit more because of the killing of a few dozen thousand more demons, Lothur had made qualitative progress in his resistances, reaching Diamond-grade regarding poison and ice.
As a result, his Perception had improved dramatically in the past few hours, while several of his other affinities and even some of his Soul Bones were close to breakthroughs.
When he saw the Demon Emperor, who had also strengthened a bit in the past few hours, Lothur was ready to fight the strongest creature in this world.
[Demon Emperor]
[Soul Cultivation: level 26]

"I really underestimated you. I didn't think I'd make such a big mistake at this point in my journey, but that's also to your credit, Lothur Ritter." The Demon Emperor said as he saw the young Ritter in the distance while he and his level 25 tribemates flew to where the enemy was.
Lothur heard it and smiled. "You're not bad yourself. But I think your Soul Bone will soon be in my hands... There will be no chance for you to come back to life this time. I'll erase your existence completely."
"You haven't won yet, Lothur. You will have to kill us all." The enemy said, showing off his companions, each with more than 70,000 Soul points.
Lothur was alone, but he didn't feel threatened. "You are formidable, but I am here to exterminate your race. Starting with you, I will kill almost all the demons in this world in the next few days and reach the highest level ever achieved in these lands!"
"That is if you can defeat me and survive the one who helped you get here." The Demon Emperor said with a sinister smile. "Do you really think that guy will let you reach his level?"
The Demon Emperor knew very well about the level 27 human, the system's creator. How could he not use this existence to sow doubt in Lothur's mind?
He wasn't sure if his enemy from the past would really act against Lothur in the future. Yet, considering the danger this young man could pose to that person's position, nothing was impossible.
So why not use something likely to happen to plant doubt in an opponent's mind?
"You are truly impressive, Demon Emperor. You are very strong and know when you're at your weakest and need to use secondary strategies to reduce your disadvantage. I'm truly amazed at how good you are." Lothur said with a smile.
"But today, I have to end your journey. Do you have anything to say before I kill you?" Lothur asked as he pointed the Darkness Scythe at the black-haired individual.
The demon emperor also smiled and said. "I will devour your body after I defeat you and then kill the wretch who trapped me in the Lost Tree.
Lothur, do you think you can scare me? You're lost on your own!"
When he said this, the Demon Emperor used the Soul Crystal in his being, causing a spiritual pulse to start from his center and spread out in all directions for 20 kilometers.
As he quickly established his domain, the Demon Emperor saw his men move to the area's outskirts and said to Lothur. "You are truly unbeatable with your bloodline ability. But what can you do without it?"
Lothur's eyes narrowed when he heard it, and he immediately realized how well the power of the Soul Crystal blocked his special abilities.
'Tsk! No wonder I couldn't use my bloodline freely before.' Lothur felt that he couldn't use his special power now, feeling the power of that Immortal Crystal in the hands of someone of the Demon Emperor's level.
"This is not the only ability I have. If you want to kill me, or rather, survive me, you'll have to have much better moves than that!" Lothur's eyes turned extremely red as he decided to move and begin the final battle against the demons.
After this battle, there were only two possibilities for this world. One was a victory for the demons with the death of Lothur, which would make the Demon Emperor much stronger than he was today and diminish the chances of victory for the young Ritter's wives. Or two, Lothur's victory, which would lead to the end of the demon race in the coming days or weeks.
If Lothur were to win today, nothing would stand in his way. He would slaughter the demons of this world and decide to whom the Soul Bones in his possession would go. In other words, he would be free to distribute power in the world as he saw fit.
After this battle, there wasn't much that could stop either side.
Knowing that the victor's path would be relatively easier after today, the two sides moved almost simultaneously to attack each other.
The first to strike was Lothur, who shot a laser beam with his eyes in the direction of one of the level 25 Sages that were in the formation around him.
But given his speed, the young Ritter also physically attacked one of his weaker opponents as he moved, determined to make the Demon Emperor run a bit behind him.
Since the enemy hadn't come to this battle alone, it meant that he thought he could win by using his numbers.
Lothur then decided to eliminate his opponent's numerical advantage by melting the body of the first Sage he saw before cutting the body of the second Demon he saw in half.
Swooish!
The Demon Emperor appeared behind Lothur just after the young man had killed the second of the level 25 peak beings in the area and let the darkness of his powers show as pieces of skeletons emerged from the ground and space around the young Ritter.
Seeing his enemy's movement, Lothur used his Gravity to push down on his hands and feet in an attempt to strike him while a transparent golden armor formed over his body.
At the same time, a giant of orange flames formed beside him.
Prometheus Flames!
