When his opponents hit him, Lothur was barely hurt because his physical attributes had been significantly increased as he endured the 22 rays of his tribulation.
Meanwhile, he instantly activated his bloodline ability, making those two Sages stronger than him feel the pressure of the Life Devourer.
Seeing Lothur's eyes change color and sensing the demonic energy in his body, the two level 23 Sages immediately realized that their opponent was not human.
Noticing that he wasn't a demon either, they turned pale as sheets of paper, terribly shocked that such a being was in this place.
Not all of the continent's Sages had awoken from their seclusion to hunt down the hybrids reported before. Some organizations were not so up to speed on the subject, while some of these elders were not demon hunters. In other words, they were people disconnected from the major opponents of Lothur.
That was the case with these two!
Once they understood what Lothur was, they were both immensely worried, not only because they were within this creature's reach but because he was probably generating the changes in Leopoldine.
If they didn't escape this place in a few years, Lothur could bring chaos to this continent!
"Shit!" One of them shouted as he tried to escape.
But being trapped by Lothur just like the other level 23 Sage, this individual could not escape and soon felt his powers and features being devoured by his enemy.
Lothur saw his features improving, seeing how beneficial it was to deal with strong people like these two.
But even absorbing their powers, Lothur only obtained 3,900 EVF points, not enough to improve his current self.
[EVF: 0 -> 3,900]
As the bodies of these individuals turned to ash, six Soul Bones appeared from them, floating in the air as Lothur finished absorbing their features.
Seeing the quality of these bones, Lothur didn't get too excited but promptly stored them in his spatial ring to distribute later.
'Time to move.' He looked around the mountain peak he was on, aware that one of the catastrophes of the 5th stage would attract a lot of attention.
Also aware that there should be several enemy Sages around Leopoldine, he decided to leave the Three Great Lakes Region this afternoon to help his group.
He still wanted to get stronger and reach level 23 before starting his journey alongside the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But before that, he still had to resolve the conflicts around this state.
...
After Lothur left that area of the Three Great Lakes Region, other specialists around Leopoldine would soon appear there, searching for the Sage who was experiencing one of the catastrophes.
Unfortunately for these groups, he was long gone by the time they arrived, and there was no trace of where Lothur had gone.
Some of these Sages even scouted the area in search of Lothur and came across his men nearby. But there were no Saints among these individuals, so none of these experts connected them to the one behind the previous phenomenon.
Even though Lothur had been there and had one of his groups stopped in that area, they hadn't caused any problems for his people by leaving without warning them!
So, while Lothur began his search around the empire, these Sages did so in the Three Great Lakes Region, delaying their meeting.
...
After several hours since the previous post-catastrophe confrontation, Lothur had placed several special formations around Leopoldine, by which he could connect his powers to them and easily keep an eye on these locations.
With more free time to develop his formations, he was applying some of his current understanding of the world with the land monitoring items.
While doing this, Lothur found more of his family and handed over the Soul Bones he had with him, creating some more Saints for Leopoldine.
He also found one of his women inside Leopoldine and spent a little time with her before leaving her with some defensive and life-saving items.
With that done, Lothur would continue his purpose of covering this state with surveillance items, not to watch everything that happened in this state but to have more practical methods of finding demons and enemy groups infiltrating the empire.
He already had a spy service run by the Koch family, keeping an eye on the domain. However, enemies who came to this state for whatever reason would not use the communication formations of the Ritter Motor Company cars.
This was a complementary action to that of the spy center at the Ritter family headquarters, something only he could do due to his unusual special abilities.
Most Sages had one profession at most and usually didn't have as many skills as Lothur. This gave him a great advantage over the others, most of whom were only warriors and limited to where they were.
...
So three days passed quietly while Lothur's men followed his orders, and he finished setting up his observation points around the empire.
The enemy's actions in Leopoldine had lessened in intensity after one of the catastrophes of the 5th stage had occurred in that area, and the enemy had become aware of the presence of a powerful local Sage.
At the same time, due to the small number of demons traveling through the domain, the last of them had been gathered by the groups sent by Lothur and were waiting for their moment to be exterminated.
Lothur hadn't encountered any enemy groups during those days, as he had been concentrating on building up his observation network. But that afternoon, he finally finished what he had been doing and prepared to return to the Three Great Lakes Region to see his people and begin to truly resolve the current war.
Having finished resting after placing his last formations in that state, he sliced through space and returned to his area.
Arriving there with his aura covered, Lothur surveyed the surroundings and realized that the Sages who had come to this place had already left.
Using his visual abilities, he observed the surroundings and noticed some items left behind by the 5th-stage enemies.
'Tsk! Too bad for you that I'm a 5-star formations master. None of that works against me.' He laughed as he deactivated all the items left behind by his enemies.
After that, he soon found a suitable place and activated his One With Nature skill and his visual skill, connecting them to the formations he had scattered across the realm!
