Chapter 391 No Easy Alternatives

As Lothur came upon the three men who had quickly surrounded him in that forested part of nearby Peters City, he noted the statuses of all three.

[Name: ***]

[Cultivation: level 11]

[STR: ??] [CON: ??] [DEX: ??] [AGI: ??]

[Name: ***]

[Cultivation: level 12]

'Shit!'

'Three people stronger than me...' He pondered as he continued to hold tightly onto the Elemental Staff but also prepared to use the Space Belt in case of need.

It was not a problem for Lothur to deal with one such individual at a time. After all, this was real life, not a tournament that limited the devices he could use.

But facing three at once would often be more problematic. That's because they could supply each other's weaknesses, prevent him from acting at the best moments, and still team up to attack him simultaneously.

So his current situation was complex. Not only that, this young man could even risk attracting more people to his position as he would have to fight and flee from these individuals.

He then said. "Are you sure you want to stand in my way? If you guys back off now and punch yourselves in the face until you pass out, I'll pretend it didn't happen."

"Tsk!"

"Damn bastard! You're too cocky to talk to us that way!" The weakest one shouted while the veins on his forehead trembled considerably.

"It seems that Viktoria has been giving him confidence... Tsk! But with a body like that, it wasn't for nothing. Even a fool like him would feel great!" The strongest one there said, teasing Lothur by talking about this young man's wife.

Lothur was no fool. So he temporarily stayed silent, even though internally, he already planned to teach a lesson to the one who dared to talk about Viktoria in front of him.

Where Lothur came from on Earth, men who desired the wife of others ended up seven feet under the ground. Thus, he would not be the one to approve or accept this kind of humiliation.

"What family are you from?" He asked, to remind himself well that he would have to look it up later.

The three young men had symbols on their clothing and artifacts, but since Lothur did not yet know the emblems of all the provinces' powers, he could only question such a thing.

"Oh? Wondering who will kill you?" The one who had not yet said anything asked as he smiled in satisfaction upon 'noticing' that the enemy was already beginning to accept his own fate.

Lothur did not answer and prepared to run from there when the enemy began to attack him. 'I will use one of my belt's teleports when they least expect it and run after that.'

'My speed is probably higher than theirs, so I'll be able to escape from those people.'

The strongest of those three family members passing by the place said proudly. "Know that those who will kill you are from the Vogel family!"

'Vogel?' He stored this information in his mind and saw the enemies attacking him, launching several spiritual blows.

With the blows of these three individuals, Lothur saw several shapes appear in his surroundings, condensing semi-transparent objects that were coming toward him.

One of them was a giant spinning scythe, slicing toward his neck, making soul-crushing sounds for the weak.

On the other hand, a series of greenish blades were slicing at him, like a horizontal rain of blades focused on his back.

Finally, the weakest of these individuals produced several roots that came out of his feet and moved like snakes toward his position.

Lothur waited for the right moment and activated his space belt, jumping in the blink of an eye to a new position, 25 meters ahead of his previous position.

When he did this, he immediately surprised his three opponents, particularly the strongest of them, who had his back on him.

"What?" The three wondered as they realized that Lothur had simply disappeared, and their blows were heading toward the void.

But then, they all turned their necks in the direction of where Lothur had just appeared, where he wasted no time and started running towards Peters City.

"The bastard's getting away! Get him!" The leader of this group shouted as he turned to run in pursuit of Lothur, beginning to feel nervous.

He thought this might be his big chance to contribute significantly to his family. However, Lothur had easily gotten out of that vulnerable position, making this person feel bad.

Since claiming his own negligence would not change the situation, he started running with everything at his disposal, even using his soul power to strengthen his Constitution.

Unfortunately, even though they all did this, he and his companions still could not overcome the difference in positions with Lothur within a few seconds.

Thus, these individuals soon began a several-minute chase that would not take long to get more people's attention.

"Hey, isn't that Lothur, the son-in-law of the Frost family?"

"Yeah, looks like that's him."

"He's being chased by people from the Vogel family..."

Some mercenaries on the outskirts of that valley commented similar things as they watched the chase unfold.

But to Lothur's misfortune, more than one group of enemy family cultivators noticed his situation!

"Lothur is outside the Peters City security boundary?"

"Isn't there anyone accompanying him?" Some of these people wondered as they cautiously checked the situation.

'If there is no one, this is our chance!' One woman pondered the matter, feeling that even if she could not beat Lothur alone, alongside the many individuals there, it would be possible.

Since, for her, the very fact of helping to put an end to Lothur would be enough for her to be rewarded and congratulated, she soon suggested it to one of her acquaintances in the area.

"Peter, let's team up against him. If we can kill Lothur, we will solve one of the problems in our families' alliance."

"Oh? That's not a bad idea..."

These two agreed while Lothur's more than ten enemies watching him run away from those three individuals also decided to participate.

None of them were stronger than the level 12 man leading those individuals from the Vogel family chasing Lothur. But since there might not be time for them to call for reinforcements and together they could give the enemy a lot of trouble, they were already running against him!

Lothur realized that more people were getting into the chase of those three from the Vogel family and felt that overcoming this situation would not be easy.

'What do I do? If I use the Space Belt one more time, I will run out of energy and have to be at the mercy of the enemies' wills...'

'On the other hand, it wouldn't be good to show my bloodline ability to so many people without me having the chance to eliminate them before they leak information...'

Lothur felt his sweat dripping down his body, staying in this troublesome situation where he had no easy alternatives.
