Chapter 840 No Choices
He didn\'t think too much about why these creatures were there and moved toward them, determined to eliminate the whole group without too much wait.
\'Time to collect some bones...\'
He was thinking when one of the demons in the camp suddenly looked in his direction and smiled.
"Lothur Ritter, if you want to see your women again, don\'t you dare think of acting against my group!" This individual said as he looked into Lothur\'s silver eyes.
Lothur wasn\'t surprised that the demons already knew his name, let alone that they would use his women against him.
\'They\'re finally moving.\' He thought, imagining that the time had come to settle things with the one responsible for his previous defeat and the kidnapping of his women.
"Creature, what do you want? Don\'t think I won\'t act because you have my women." He said in a threatening tone, showing his powerful aura to the demons in the group, the strongest of which was only a level 23 Sage.
That being felt the tension in the area rise but trusted the orders of his superior. "If you want to see your women again, come with us! We\'ll lead you to where they are!"
"A trap?" Lothur laughed. "That won\'t do. Do you think I\'m a fool? Tell me where they are, and I\'ll go there myself."
If he were led to them, he would surely be watched the whole way and placed in a position where all enemy traps would be against him. But if he went to such a place using the Space Watch, he could greatly disrupt the demons\' plans, even though his situation would still be bad.
"Don\'t think you can bargain with us, Lothur." The speaking demon shouted. "If we don\'t get our way, we\'ll kill your women. Then come with us. That\'s the only way they won\'t be killed because of you!"
Hearing it, Lothur clenched his fists as he looked around and saw the demons staring at him in fear.
The level 24 demon who had acted against his group on that fateful day had realized that Lothur was not like the hybrids of legend. However, the demons around him were unsure that such a creature, capable of devouring his own parents, would even risk himself for human women.
\'Will he fall for it?\' One of them wondered, fearing that he would die for a bet made by his superior.
\'What should I do?\' Lothur also wondered, unsure of his fate and how to save his women.
He was powerful now, really powerful. But so was the demon holding his women. And as much as Lothur wasn\'t afraid to face him right now, such a creature could very well have his claws aimed at the vital points of his women.
Any rash move on his part could cost Viktoria, Annaliese, Elke, and Rebecca their lives!
As much as he was a hybrid, Lothur\'s mind was that of a human who had grown up on Earth. He loved these women and couldn\'t just abandon them, even if it was the logical decision that would benefit him the most.
\'Damn it! What am I going to do? They\'ll have a trap for me, for sure!\' He thought as he saw that he could only follow these creatures\' plans for the time being. \'And that bastard surely knows that I\'ve absorbed a new bone. He\'ll be ready to face me as I am now!\'
Thinking this, he looked at his watch, sensing that this would be his only chance to escape the demonic trap.
\'I have to consider the possibility that my women won\'t be where they take me. In that case, I must be prepared to flee if the situation proves too unfavorable for me.\' He quickly moved one of his hands and placed a special program on the artifact.
The demons there were not formations masters and obviously didn\'t understand Lothur\'s movements.
But he was quick enough not to make a fuss in that place and said. "Very well. I\'ll do as you say. Where shall we go?"
The demon leader of the group there secretly sighed in relief when he heard those words, seeing that he wouldn\'t die today. "This is good. We\'ll travel north. If we start our journey today, we can reach where your women are in 11 days, Lothur."
"All that? Will we have to travel on horseback?" He made an unhappy face.
"We\'re not as fast as you." The creature said, lying, of course.
Their plan was as Lothur had thought. They wanted to lead him into a trap so they wouldn\'t fly at top speed and give the observers on the way time to inform their leaders of their group\'s every move!
Lothur realized this was the case, but with no alternatives, he accepted his terrible passive situation.
\'I hope Blood and Smoke finish what they\'re doing as soon as possible...\' Lothur thought as he watched the demons in the small camp quickly take down the tents in the area so they could leave.
\'I\'m going to need their help a lot!\'
With that in mind, Lothur would soon leave that area with the demons he had just met, following their lead as they began this long journey towards the defining moment of his life.
Would this be the end of him? Or would this be the beginning of the turnaround of Concordia\'s forces against the demonic threat?
In the darkness of what awaited him, Lothur could not say what lay ahead.
Not arrogant enough to think he was immortal, he was aware that there was a chance that he would finally fall without a chance to get up again in the coming days!
While he felt the tension of being unable to control his fate for the first time in a long period, the demons were thinking along similar lines, feeling that if they failed, they would meet their end. Still, if they succeeded, everything would finally change for them.
That was the turning point in their history: they would resurrect the Demon Emperor, rule Concordia, and reach the peak of cultivation in this world.
After that, they would be the masters of these lands and could look out over their world\'s dangerous and mysterious seas!
\'I hope the elders are prepared...\' The strongest of the group thought as he looked at Lothur out of the corner of his eye. \'This bastard isn\'t easy!\'
