"Lothur?" Rebecca asked as she looked strangely at that person who seemed to be close to his death.
Even with a totally different appearance, Lothur's voice was still unmistakable to her.
Lothur looked at her and nodded, indicating that it was himself, after all.
The men in the surrounding area heard this but had no time to pay attention to such a thing. The fact that Lothur was there was something shocking to them, which indicated that something wrong had happened in Arno's faction.
"Half-breed, where is Arno? How did you get here?" The leader of that faction questioned as he circulated his energies.
Lothur looked at those people and laughed maliciously. "He is dead."
After speaking this, he made a golden armor appear over his body, taunting the people in the surrounding area with the Soul Bone previously belonging to Arno.
"Bastard!"
"Impossible! How did he do it?"
Some of those stronger men in the surroundings wondered, not understanding how Lothur had managed to recover and advance in level to achieve the feat of killing Arno.
"Humph! I was preparing to absorb your powers, worms, but since you were oppressing my woman, I will kill you now!" Lothur snapped his fingers, beginning to walk toward those men.
But Lothur's steps were not easy to follow, and after one of them, he appeared in front of the strongest of that faction.
'None of them have a Soul Bone. How sad...'
Then, without using any technique, Lothur moved one of his hands toward the heart of that individual.
Without any difficulty, his hand entered the body of that person who had less than 150 Constitution, reaching his heart in less than a breath.
That man had barely seen Lothur appearing in front of him when he felt his heart in one of Lothur's hands and looked into the silver eyes of this creature in terror.
"Abomination..."
That was all he could say before Lothur ripped his heart out of his chest!
Upon seeing that, all the men in the surrounding area wanted to flee. Unfortunately, they were very weakened compared to Lothur.
If it weren't for this, they would either be able to fend off his first attacks or have the possibility of trying to run.
Unfortunately, after all they had done days ago, they could not do anything to save themselves from the terrible fate ahead of them!
Gravity!
Lothur pressed all these men with his third ability, causing them to remain motionless where they were.
This ability depended on Will, but no one there could compare to Lothur in this regard.
So even though they were powerful level 18 warriors with good mental attributes, these men were in Lothur's hands to decide their fate!
After another breath, he took another step and appeared before another person. With this individual, he made his Black Flames erode his mental foundations, quickly driving him insane.
The Black Flames could dominate through mind and soul. But they could also degrade one's mental structures until that person went mad.
Lothur made this man go so far that after only 10 seconds, he was already self-flagellating and screaming mad.
Then he crushed another man's neck, leaving the last survivor trembling with fear.
But he would not forgive such a person, and after the deaths of all three of these individuals, he would use gravity itself to crush the body of that fourth opponent.
'Die!'
He thought as he watched that body rapidly turns into a ball of flesh and blood.
Rebecca saw this carnage and was open-mouthed, for although she could not sense Lothur's level from where she was, she knew that these people were level 18 cultivators.
Lothur was suddenly stronger than they were!
That was impressive!
"Lothur, you have advanced in level? How is that possible? This place shouldn't allow something like this to happen!" She said while feeling weakened due to the situation she had been experiencing for the past few days.
The men of this faction intended to use her body, but while waiting for the pills they had taken to take effect so as not to be poisoned, they had kept her locked up in a cell for all these days.
Because of this, she had been for days in a cell that she could barely stand up in and where she had barely been fed.
She was weak, with pains in various parts of her body, so she had a weakened tone, even though she had not suffered the terrible fate at the hands of those men.
Lothur looked away from those four people and looked at Rebecca. "It's complicated. But the fact is that I am now a Divine Soul Transcendent for both my body and my soul."
"Soul? You can cultivate your soul now?" She didn't know that since she hadn't participated in the Secret Realm.
"Yeah." He walked to her side and quickly used his brute strength to open that cell, ripping open a small metal door.
Rebecca saw this man's strength once again and was impressed, and couldn't help but smile at him.
"But what about your appearance?"
"I lost some of my vitality to achieve this feat... Anyway, that will be resolved when I become a Saint." He surprised her once again.
For someone from Peters City like Rebecca, becoming a Saint seemed beyond her standards. So hearing Lothur talk about it seemed like something far away, even considering that he was already at the peak of the 3rd stage.
Gulp!
"Saint? Sigh, it looks like you'll become unreachable even with your special ability..." She sighed, imagining that one day she, Elke, Viktoria, and Annaliese would be left behind as the difference between them would be too great.
But Lothur had something different in mind.
"Becca, I didn't expect to find you here. But since you are, I will help you get stronger as I did with the rest of the family in Peters City.
The Secret Realm helped us a lot..."
"And how will that be?" She looked into his eyes, feeling her heart beating faster.
He laughed as he saw what was on her mind. "Before that, you will absorb this Skull Soul Bone. I just got it and noticed you don't have one like that yet."
Considering how valuable a Soul Bone was, she was surprised to hear such a thing.
"Soul Bone? Wouldn't it be better if you absorbed it yourself?" She questioned him.
Of all the women in Lothur, Rebecca was the one who had joined him most recently and, therefore, the most ignorant about his abilities.
He laughed and said. "I already have the bone corresponding to that one... And don't worry about Elke, Annaliese, and Viktoria. They all already have at least one Soul Bone."
