"By the way, there are three more villages like this if you go north. Maybe you'll find what you're looking for in one of them, but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't." The level 19 elder explained. "Some hybrids live their lives in the human world.
Since the people you are looking for are from a long time ago, they may have lived in our region but may have already left.
And, of course, there is the possibility that they are no longer in our world." He commented on this part in a lower tone.
Ordinary Saints could live up to 4,000 years. But if a person were lucky enough to find some valuable resources at that stage, living three times as long wouldn't be impossible.
However, such cases were rare, and most Concordia experts either raised their cultivation level to live longer or died when their aging reached its peak.
Even though the Ancestral Folk were a very talented race, only a few of these purebloods reached the 5th stage, so this level 19 elder couldn't help but think that Verna and her children had already died.
This young expert's hope was probably the descendants of Verna and Mathias' children.
Lothur did not think that this possibility was terrible, and when he heard this old man, he just nodded, indicating that he understood these possibilities.
"Dead or alive, I just need to find them to know what happened to complete my deal with the soul fragment. Anyway, since they are not here, I will continue north. Thank you for the information."
With that, Lothur walked away, disappearing from the sight of the half of the village still watching him, surprising those who still didn't understand why their leader was so respectful to him.
Noticing how quickly Lothur had left, the level 19 old man paled.
'Sage? Is he a Sage?' He swallowed his saliva at the thought of that possibility, which might explain why Lothur was so fast.
Only human Sages would have physical attributes as high as those of high-level Saint beasts!
...
Two more days passed...
Arriving near the second village where he would stop to continue his search for Mathias' descendants, Lothur noticed several spectral creatures in the area.
Noticing that there were even level 20 spectres nearby, Lothur didn't hesitate to use his abilities against them.
Before vanquishing them, he combined his Mortal Aura with his Black Flames, overwhelming these creatures.
Lothur had never seen such powerful spectres before, so he was very curious to see what one of these 4th stage beings looked like.
He immediately ordered all of these creatures to come to him, a few hundred meters away from a village of about 400 people.
Even the strongest of these creatures could not resist Lothur's power. Within minutes of the young man noticing them, they were all gathered around him.
Lothur sat on a rock with the Darkness Scythe resting on his legs. He looked at the weapon while wiping its beautiful blade with a cloth, radiating his powerful level 21 presence to these creatures.
"What is your purpose?" He asked the stronger ones there, knowing that the weaker ones could hardly speak with so much chaos in their minds.
But the stronger ones must be different, or so Lothur believed.
"Our purpose, master?" The strongest spectre, level 20, asked, trembling under Lothur's control. "Our purpose is to bring the master to the peak of cultivation."
"Before you became my slaves, what was your purpose?" Lothur rephrased his question.
The creature said with some difficulty, but not enough for Lothur not to understand. "Singularities."
"Oh?" Lothur's eyes narrowed when he heard that. "Why? Why do you want Singularities?"
"Our old masters want them. They can bring back the Demon Emperor."
With that answer, Lothur stopped asking questions for a moment as he looked into the eyes of the semi-transparent creature.
'So that's it! Specters really work for demons!' But he frowned at the thought, not understanding something. 'But how? How did the demons learn to control all these creatures? And could it be that they are behind the rise of so many spectres in recent times?'
Lothur already knew what the demons wanted the Singularities for, but he had no idea that the problem of the spectres of this world was connected to these creatures.
"Besides..." This creature couldn't stand Lothur's dominance and felt it should say something more to protect its new master. "The Shadows Castle is searching for the bearer of this weapon, master."
Lothur narrowed his eyes. "Shadows Castle? What is that?"
"The Shadows Castle is a group of high-ranking spectres who work directly for the Demon Emperor. That is all I know, master."
Hearing this, Lothur clenched his fists and stored his scythe in his ring, sensing that someone might discover him if he kept it outside a protected area for too long.
'It seems I have more enemies than I thought.' He realized he had to be more careful, even if he was a Supreme Saint.
If there were level 20 creatures who did not know everything about this Shadows Castle, then this place must have even stronger spectres, maybe even level 22!
In that case, Lothur did not want to attract any Sage spectral monsters!
With this concern in mind, he gave up on giving these creatures a second chance through reincarnation and ordered them to enter his body.
Seconds later, the many spectres between levels 17 and 20 entered his body and were destroyed by the system, while white smoke came out of Lothur's body.
Due to their number, he would stand there for 4 full minutes, extinguishing the corrupted existences of those creatures of darkness.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm When he finished, Lothur stood up and looked at the village ahead of him, noticing several hybrid creatures looking in his direction.
Some were already moving, having seen the most impressive thing of their lives.
'Are they going to attack me?' Lothur sighed at the thought of such a possibility, imagining that things would be more complicated for him in this village.
But when the first pointy-eared hybrids stopped near him, the creatures immediately surprised Lothur.
"Thank you for saving our village, dear expert! Please accept our invitation and come to our village to feast!" The strongest of them, level 20, shouted in an emotional tone.
