Upon identifying Lothur as Daemon's son, that creature that had already met with the leader of the group of humans in the area a few times did not even consider turning against this young man.
Even the most powerful beast in the Three Great Lakes Region, level 18, had become Daemon's mount, so it would not be it who would dare rebel against such a monster.
Lothur realized something was wrong and narrowed his eyes, noticing the fear in his opponent's behavior.
But he chose to remain silent despite his curiosity, lest the other side discovers that he had no significant relationship with such a group.
"Senior, I have a business to attend to. Is there a problem if I leave now?"
'Is he asking me this because he feels offended? Is he thinking of taking revenge on us?' That beast remained silent, staring open-mouthed at where Lothur was standing.
Lothur had already climbed on top of Ice and was preparing to leave the area after asking that question.
Since the level 17 being did not answer him anything for more than a minute, this young man clenched his fists and decided to leave, giving the order for Ice to run.
After seeing the movement of the human and fox, that rhino felt that it would not have another chance to defend itself and shouted. "Hey, human, don't take the situation the wrong way. It was just a misunderstanding! Lord Daemon doesn't need to hear about it the wrong way!"
"How about I report to him myself and resolve the situation?"
Lothur saw that being looking and following him and said. "Fine by me."
"Sigh!"
After those words, the creature sighed in relief and stopped running after Lothur and Ice, feeling that if it sent some gifts and showed its respect, the problem would end all right.
Powerful beings could accept that even their children were beaten to learn some valuable lesson. But Daemon was the area's leader, and disrespect from the beasts in the area to his family would be a crime.
That could cause problems it could not handle!
Lothur had no idea what was in that being's mind and just wanted to get away as fast as possible since he still had no confidence to face beasts at that level.
But the reaction of that beast had given him some hints about his predecessor's father!
'That creature seemed frightened... Plus, it acted as if I had direct contact with this Daemon fellow.' His eyes sharpened, with him thinking about the possibility of that being 'his' father's name.
'If he is 'my' father and is the leader of the area, then probably this opportunity I got was because of him...'
"Hmmm, if I meet him one day, even if he's not my real father, I'll have to thank him!" He muttered, already far from the previous area, as he felt the wind messing up his hair.
...
A day later...
Lothur and Ice had finally left the Three Great Lakes Region area and entered the human territory of Linn Province.
They had no more problems making their way through that forest area dominated by beasts as with each kilometer to the west, the beings there were weaker.
So, at this point, Lothur and his furry companion had just entered the first human area on their way, a town larger than a village, where they planned to stop for an hour or two.
But when they arrived there, Lothur immediately attracted the attention of most of the local citizens because he was riding a high-level 2nd stage beast.
Beasts of this strength were rarely seen in the human territory in Leopoldine. When they did appear, they usually accompanied powerful cultivators.
So when a fellow who looked like a mortal appeared riding one of these in this remote place, the few local cultivators came out of their homes and work to observe this strange duo.
"My goodness! Look at the size of this creature!" A girl younger than Elke, saw Lothur passing in front of her property and exclaimed to her friends and subordinates in the area.
"It is a marvelous beast."
That girl's father came up behind her after sensing the cultivation of this beast so close to his residence.
He was at the same level as Ice, so he had an advantage over this fox when it came to battle.
Considering the value of such a beast, he and other local cultivators could not help but covet Lothur's mount.
Young Ritter saw this and readily understood the situation he was in.
"For those thinking what they shouldn't, know those who dare will die. I will give them no chance to apologize and eliminate them without mercy!" He said so that people several blocks away could hear him.
"Oh? You are really arrogant!" An old man said this as he stepped out of the shadows of his house, just a few meters away from Lothur and Ice. "You should be more careful, kid. Just because you have a powerful beast with you doesn't mean you can despise others!"
"Hmmm." The girl from before nodded in agreement and asked aloud. "How much do you want for this beast? I will pay you 500 thousand silver coins."
Lothur looked in that person's direction and felt she was offending him and Ice. Five hundred thousand silver coins were not enough to buy a 5th Revolution beast. After all, this creature was not far from becoming a Transcendent beast!
But this time, Lothur did not say anything. He just let his Mortal Aura speak for him.
He spread darkness in the surroundings and stimulated fear in everyone up to 200 meters away from him.
Gulp!
In that instant, dozens of cultivators felt as if there was a monster hiding in that handsome young man's body, something that would truly kill them.
'How can it be? What kind of training left someone like that?' The old man from before wondered, feeling a solid murderous intent coming from Lothur.
'My goodness! He must have killed thousands of people by now to reach such a high level regarding killing intent!' The father of the girl who made the previous proposal thought to himself as he turned pale.
But he was quick to force one of his hands to cover his daughter's mouth to prevent this girl from causing trouble for them.
They had felt that sensation from Lothur. So this young man obviously had cultivation!
Since he was on the back of a level 14 beast, it was obvious that his strength was not small and that he would really eliminate anyone who stood in his way.
With that, the people in this town mostly did not move, with a few individuals just watching Lothur and Ice from afar.
...
Hours later...
By now, Lothur and Ice had traveled almost all the way between the previous town and Peters City.
After passing through that place, they had gotten a map to direct them to Lothur's city when some idiot chasing them had fallen into the trap of this fellow.
So they had traveled all the way there, avoiding human city and trouble, being only minutes away from the Morning Star Academy, where Lothur had responsibilities to fulfill.
Only one hour was left before the deadline for his mission ended!
