Just as the first enemy attacks were about to hit Lothur, a man holding a large sword appeared from the surrounding area, attacking the first of these aggressions.
The same happened for several other attacks simultaneously as 14 figures appeared in the area from behind Lothur's carriages.
Lothur's allies in the Ritter Motor Company already knew this fellow was leaving Peters City. So they promptly put people behind him to help him in case of need.
Because of this, 14 individuals between levels 13 and 15 appeared at this place after the enemies brutally attacked in Lothur's direction!
The enemies realized that Lothur's allies were acting simultaneously with them and became more serious. It would naturally be more difficult to act with these people there!
But while many of these individuals were frowning, Lothur disappeared from where he was after using the Space Belt.
"Where did he go?" Someone shouted, leaving aside the envoys from the Becker, Frost, Christen, Koch, and Teusen families and some bourgeois powers from Peters City.
But before these people could identify where Lothur had gone, they heard the sound of breaking bones coming from a local patriarch.
Crack!
At that instant, Lothur had appeared behind that level 15 opponent and swung his staff with all the force he had to hit the back of this person's head.
Lothur's attack was so swift and decisive that his opponent could not react in time and suffered from the young Ritter's merciless blow!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Such a person was thrown in the opposite direction to Lothur's movement, feeling severe pain in the base of his head.
Lothur's attack had not been strong enough to threaten this person's life since such a patriarch's Constitution was superior to young Ritter's Strength. But since the difference was not great and that staff was tough, that man felt the blow.
Blood began to flow from the wound on the back of his head, coming from his fractured skull. Meanwhile, that man's head began to hurt, with him feeling temporary mental disorientation.
"What?" Lothur's opponents in the surroundings noticed how brutal he had acted, realizing that his strength could not be underestimated.
'Damn!'
'How much was he hiding?' David Baier wondered, feeling a little nervous for the first time in this place since Lothur's blow seemed like it could hurt even him.
Lothur's first enemy suffered because he was unprepared, something that would not be repeated. These men knew this but could not help but respect a little more that young man, who had already reached the level capable of frightening them.
On the other hand, Lothur finally realized that he would have help in this fight, seeing in that dark place some of the elders that his allies had placed to watch him.
He then nodded in the direction of one of those men but did not ignore the opponents in the area. That way, he soon continued with his plans, starting to run around the area, looking for mistakes from his opponents for him to attack them.
"How quick!" One of the patriarchs there said in surprise, seeing the speed with which Lothur was moving, something genuinely frightening.
"Unbelievable!"
"The bastard is a genius!" People in the enemy group commented loudly as Lothur's allies looked at him strangely.
They were wide-mouthed and wide-eyed, not understanding where all that speed, which surpassed everyone's there, was coming from.
Not only that, Lothur was already so fast that even the Transcendent watching the situation from the skies was frowning.
'What the fuck is going on?' He wondered as he saw a figure circling the battlefield. 'Is he faster than my eyes can follow?'
But as a Transcendent, this man soon used the power of his soul to strengthen his physical attributes and reach far enough to spy on Lothur.
Young Ritter's movements slowly became more evident to that man in the skies, revealing his footsteps as he dodged enemy attacks and tackled them.
'Incredible!'
'His speed has reached such a high level! Is that the ability of a cultivator focused on the body path?' This expert from the empire capital wondered, feeling Lothur no longer needed his help.
Lothur was fighting in that place, but with such superior speed to his opponents, this young man could run away, and none of them would catch him. He was there because he wanted to be, which was enough to put many doubts in the minds of those patriarchs and local elders.
With this, while attacking his strongest opponents, leaving the weakest to his allies, Lothur quickly managed to destroy the hopes of these people.
He was not strong enough to put the lives of these patriarchs at risk right now, but he was strong enough to efficiently protect himself from these people!
They could not even hit him, so how could they dare to think of killing him?
Elke and the other members of Lothur's team watched all this in silence from their carriages, proud and also shocked by this person's strength.
To most of them, Lothur was just a talented student. But seeing him on this night, they were seeing a person who had already reached the level needed to protect himself from leaders of local organizations.
That was no small thing, something that generally only faction leaders in the Morning Star Academy could achieve!
As such, they were even more respectful of this man who was just trying to make a mission to join Ice Feathers.
Pow!
Lothur delivered another blow to the back of one of his opponents' heads. But this time, he did not manage to damage the opponent's body as much because such a person had used his soul power to strengthen his body.
But another of Lothur's opponents, David Baier, was now kneeling, ten meters away from this young man, in agony while his hands were on the back of his head.
Lothur had just attacked him. But instead of strengthening his body, like the young Ritter's most recent victim, this patriarch had made an elemental shield around his body, using one of his techniques.
Since such a thing depended on the action of a spiritual element, Lothur's staff had bypassed David's defenses and hit this man's unprotected head.
As a result, he was in agony, angry at his slippery opponent.
"Lothur, you son of a bitch!"
"Come back here and fight like a man!"
But Lothur did the same as the other individuals in the surrounding area. He ignored the angry shouts of that man while acting against his opponents alongside his allies.
Because of this, in just 10 minutes of combat, the previously outnumbered group overcame their disadvantages and made their opponents lose their wills.
No one had been killed, but the side with the numerical advantage was slowly becoming weaker, with several people injured by Lothur's actions. Then, soon, someone took a step back and decided to retreat!
