Chapter 811 Problem

Chapter 811 Problem

After hearing the spectre's answer, everyone in Lothur's party was a little impressed by the number of Sages in the Castle of Shadows.

All in all, between the 1st and 4th Catastrophes, there were 84 Sages in such a force, several experts that certainly exceeded the number of any force on this continent!

Even though Lothur had immunity to spectres, he was a bit impressed and took a step back in his plans.

'There is even a level 25 spectre... I can't deal with someone of that level.' He thought to himself, imagining that the soul power of someone like that must be several times his own.

His skills definitely wouldn't work against such a spectre!

'Besides, their numbers are pretty high. If I go alone, I'll have problems, but I definitely can't take my women with me while they're at their level.' He looked at them before turning his attention to the two kittens.

'Blood and Smoke would be the only help I could count on right now. But they would probably be easily destroyed by these level 24 and 25 creatures.'

Thinking about all this, he closed his eyes and sighed. "We're not going to the Castle of Shadows yet. It's too dangerous, and we don't have the power to do anything against them."

"Then what will we do?" Cykad was also afraid, especially because he didn't know there was such a powerful group of spectres in this world.

Considering how vulnerable beasts could be to spectral creatures, he was the most frightened of all.

He knew the group couldn't do anything about the problem now. They really were weak. But he couldn't help but feel anxious about solving this problem, which could greatly facilitate the demons' plans to destroy Concordia.

Viktoria looked at that spectre and suggested before her husband spoke. "Why don't we use this one to bring others to us?

We definitely can't risk going to the Castle of Shadows. But these high-level spectres, at least those at the 1st and 2nd catastrophes, must constantly leave that island.

If we have the information about where they're going, we can gradually dominate this organization from the outside."

As everyone looked at Viktoria, Lothur smiled in agreement with his wife.

"This is the only thing we can do now. We'll continue our journey hunting demons and 4th-stage spectres while he returns to this spectre island to work for us.

With his help, we won't be able to defeat the 3rd and 4th stage spectres, but we can learn about the demons, secret locations of these creatures, and much more." Lothur said with a sigh.

Seeing that the people in his group agreed with him, he looked at the spectral creature and asked. "What did you want to do here today?"

"I was going to give orders to a group of subordinates to travel south and find another group of our 4th-stage spectres. I was going to initiate one of our people's plans to possess some members of the imperial family of Ashen."

Everyone in the group narrowed their eyes when they heard this.

"Why would you do that?" Lothur was also surprised by this move.

"Recently, the imperial family of this state lost its only Sages. Also, our allies from Demon Island have already reached four of the Seven Singularities, and it will only be a matter of time before they have all seven.

The Castle of Shadows is preparing to implement an old plan of us spectres together with the demons."

The people in this group didn't need to hear anymore to know what this was all about!

The Castle of Shadows wanted to possess important people all over the continent, probably to prevent a possible primary defensive action before the great war between the living beings of this continent and the creatures of darkness began!

With infiltrators within the main forces of this continent, the group working for the return of the Demon Emperor and the completion of his plans would be able to do much to diminish the chances of Concordia's humans and beasts.

With that in mind, Lothur gave an order. "Now, I want you to return to the Castle of Shadows and act as if your encounter with those 4th-stage spectres went well. I want you to act as if everything is going well for the completion of these spectres' plans."

"Okay, master."

"Also, from now on, I want you to inform me about the departure of the 1st and 2nd Catastrophe spectres from your island to the mainland. I want to know where they're going whenever possible.

You must also inform me of any other such plans to possess relevant people from the states surrounding Concordia." He ordered and asked the creature to analyze some things he had in mind.

"I will do that, master. For now, I can only inform you that besides my group, which was supposed to meet me today, two other groups are already acting to possess important members of the ruling families of Thasan and Utrary. n-(0velbIn

Those who gave these orders arrived on the continent weeks before I did, so our 4th-stage spectres must already be moving through these states."

Everyone was alarmed to hear this!

No matter how weak the leaders of those states might appear to them now, these were individuals who could significantly affect the lives of tens of millions of living beings.

The presence of spectres infiltrating these families could make it easier for demons to devour humans and become much stronger!

Most people were weak, but if one gathered the people of an entire state, even 5th-stage demons could benefit greatly.

For example, imagine a state with 50 million people, with an average Constitution of 10. This meant that if Lothur were the one to act against them, he would receive 500 million points, which could provide him with more than 16 million Soul points.

Lothur didn't know the limit of cultivation in this world. Yet, he knew that the Demon Emperor's level 26 must be far from it. Otherwise, the group of 4th Catastrophe Sages from thousands of years ago wouldn't have been able to fight him.

Therefore, the human population of one state alone could probably produce 200 to 400 peak Sages, individuals between levels 25 and 26.

This was terrifying!

If the demons could sacrifice a single state, they might be able to muster enough power to destroy the rest of the continent!

Aware of this, Lothur, his women, and Cykad broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this urgent information.

They had to act immediately!
