Chapter 211 Physique Skill In Action Again

After a few seconds of swinging her belt against Lothur's body, Mabel felt her anger subside somewhat and slowed the pace of her attacks.

But even though little time had passed since she started hitting him, she had already left him ultimately wounded, with purple marks all over his body.

Lothur's clothes were soiled with blood, and his face was swollen, with various fluids oozing from his nose and mouth.

At the same time, he had stopped screaming due to the exhaustion and volume of injuries in that part of his body, but he was still conscious, trembling in pain.

"That was for you to learn not to mess with my family, you bastard!" She said this, looking into his eyes, feeling hatred that a good-for-nothing like Lothur had touched her precious daughter.

"And don't think about touching my daughter's body again! Maybe we can still work out a way to make her look whole to a man who deserves her!" She invisibly stepped on Lothur's pride, making him hate her even more.

She saw the hatred in his eyes, which showed that if he could, he would curse her in every possible way. But she said nothing, having cleaned her belt and put it back in place.

"The next time you step out of line, you will not come out unscathed, Lothur." She threatened him before walking out of there to call the servants.

When Mabel did that, it was not long before the group of people from her residence came to take Lothur to his room, where some doctor would surely come to find him.

But in the meantime, Viktoria returned from where her father had taken her, extremely worried about her husband.

"Lothur..." She said in a low voice as her eyes grew watery, seeing the sad situation of this man who had won her over.

"Lothur, forgive me. I didn't know my mother would do something like this!" She said in sincerity, walking beside the servants who were carrying him.

"First Mistress, let's take him to his room. Why don't you..." One of the handmaids was about to suggest something, but Viktoria stopped her.

"No, bring him to my residence. I will take care of him." She said, surprising everyone there.

But like good subordinates, they did not argue with this woman and promptly helped to bring Lothur to her residence.

"Viktoria!" Mabel shouted to her as she realized the situation.

Hearing her mother's voice calling her from another part of that estate, Viktoria glared at where Mabel's voice was coming from.

"What is it? Don't you think that's enough? Look at what you've done to him!" She angrily shouted.

"Enough of that. He's not important. You will not continue with this nonsense!" Mabel appeared in front of Viktoria.

"I'll go on as I please! Lothur and I will live as husband and wife from today on!" She challenged her mother, feeling anger at this woman for the first time in her life.

"Why? What's wrong with you? Why would you want that?" Mabel looked strangely at her daughter.

Viktoria looked away. "That's not for you to know. I'm staying with Lothur, and that's final!"

"Are you challenging me, Viktoria?" Mabel approached her daughter, and her aura became more oppressive.

"What are you going to do if I am?" She looked into her mother's eyes and said. "Are you going to arrest me? What about the Province Conference? For that matter, what are you going to do if Lothur changes his mind about helping the family identify the traitors?"

Mabel clenched her teeth against each other, feeling like teaching her daughter, who was becoming rebellious, a lesson, but Viktoria was right. This woman could not risk her family's future for something so small.

Her daughter's purity, or with whom Viktoria had sex, was essential to Mabel, as this woman wished the best for her daughter. But the fate of one person could not be compared to that of a family, not even if that person was her favorite daughter!

"Tsk!"

"Do what you want!"

"But don't come complaining about how you regret giving yourself to someone with no future!" She growled. "Don't forget, he's just a mortal. In 50 years, he will be old, while you will only get prettier."

"What will you do when that happens, Viktoria? Even if you love him, he will die after only a fraction of your life expectancy."

"Do you want to get dirty for a pretty little face that will last so short?"

Viktoria heard her mother's words, but she said nothing, just leaving that place to check on her husband's condition.

Viktoria knew all that, and it had been complicated for her to give herself to Lothur. But the desire she had to be with him had overcome her reason, and for the time being, she did not want to stop being with him!

'Damn it!'

'Everything was going so well! But now I won't even be able to have a peaceful night with him...' She was thinking about that when she suddenly remembered that Lothur wanted to go on a mission tonight.

'He'll be furious that he has to give that up.' She swallowed her saliva and went into the living room of her residence, where the servants had left Lothur.

Seeing him in that place, she knelt beside him and began to clean the blood on his body. As she did this, tears streamed from her eyes, for all this had been her responsibility.

If only she had kept the secret about her relationship with him, they could be okay now, without him having a single wound on his body.

For thinking like this, she felt terrible as she wiped his already naked abdomen with a damp towel.

But as she did this for a few moments, Viktoria soon noticed Lothur's regenerative ability kicking in, only this time much more impressively than last time.

[Super Regeneration activated.]

[Consuming all EVF points...]

At that instant, Lothur's skin glowed in a golden light as his wounds and injuries rapidly healed as if they were being erased.

At the same time as this was happening, his body was constantly shaking amidst countless black dots beginning to be expelled from his body.

'What? Marrow cleansing? Is he advancing levels?' Viktoria was surprised by this, promptly sealing off her sense of smell and taking him to the bathroom.

'What's going on? Why is he going through this?' She was shocked as she saw the impurities leaving Lothur's body in great quantity, something she did not see in ordinary advancement situations.

But this indeed could not be considered an ordinary breakthrough. After all, not only did Lothur already have a Soul Bone, something that breakthroughs could also purify, and he was experiencing not just one breakthrough but two!

After the beating he took from Viktoria's mother, Lothur managed to activate his Physique, generating a benefit that took him from level 6 to the beginning of level 8!

In this situation, he opened his eyes and saw his status appearing.
