Chapter 832 Enemy Prison
While Lothur's women were being held, he finally caught sight of the great dinosaur who had spent the last few months traveling alongside his group.
Seeing Cykad breathing, but very badly while surrounded by formations on large chains and also inside a cell, Lothur sighed in relief.
Although Cykad's situation was not good, he was still alive and could recover with the right help.
However, the place where he was being held was by no means simple.
As a traitor who had allied himself with a hybrid, Cykad had been brought to the most protected place in this world, where he could pay for his crime against the continent.
In the middle of the Ancestral Region was one of the prisons of the Ancestral Folk, where a level 24 warrior was standing guard!
Seeing that being's attributes on the system screen, Lothur couldn't help but admire the most talented race on the continent.
[Unknown Male Ancestral Folk] [Soul Cultivation: level 24]
[Body Cultivation: level 23] [STR: 11,100] [CON: 12,990] [DEX: 11,994] [AGI: 12,055] [INT: 7,125] [PER: 9,456] [WIL: 10,995] [SOU: 49,111]
'That's an absolute monster.' Lothur thought to himself, aware that he could handle such an opponent, but he simply couldn't get in and out of the prison in front of him easily.
More than 20 level 23 sages were nearby, an impressive group by continental standards.
That was just a prison post, so Lothur soon reasoned that there must be one or two level 25 Sages among the Ancestral Folk tribe, which would imply that there were more level 24 Sages like that individual.
Even though there was only one of them in this place, it didn't mean he was the only one in the region.
When it came to dealing with the Demon Emperor, only level 25 Sages could be considered, as only they would be able to withstand the challenge. Therefore, the strongest race on the continent had to have such specialists in case anything strange happened.
However, even if level 24 cultivators weren't enough to fight the Demon Emperor, they were undoubtedly important to deal with the demon leaders below the Demon Emperor.
They couldn't just stand around in a place like this, which was why there was only one person there at the moment.
Lothur surmised it as he scanned the area, hiding nearby.
Then, aware of the dangers and problems he might face there, he moved, manipulating the space around him to go directly to the cell where Cykad was.
There was no way he could enter that place unnoticed. With such strong enemies nearby and several high-level formations in the way, Lothur would either act quickly and attract a lot of attention, or he would act slowly and give the observers of this prison a chance to spot him.
Either way, getting in without attracting attention was extremely difficult.
Lothur chose the more violent route, breaking in while using his disintegration skill to destroy the barriers in his path.
At first, he crossed a long space in a matter of seconds without encountering any barriers that could impede him.
But immediately after his offensive move, Lothur alerted practically every guard in the prison, causing even the level 24 Sage present to look in his direction.
"I didn't expect you to make this move." That Sage said in surprise as he moved and appeared in front of Cykad's cell. No one would have expected that. 'Did he really come here to rescue this guy?' He asked himself, surprised by Lothur's behavior.
Cykad was not in that prison because of the risk that Lothur's group would attack those who had captured him. That was a prison that the area's sovereigns had for a long time, where they would always have one of their 3rd Catastrophe Sages as a guard.
That level 24 man was not there for Cykad, and Cykad was not there for him.
As an Ancestral Region beast, it was only natural for Cykad to pay for his crimes there!
But when that level 24 Sage saw Lothur there to rescue Cykad, he immediately realized that as much as they weren't expecting a rescue, that was what was happening.
Gravity!
Lothur saw the man in front of Cykad's cell and immediately used another of his skills, pushing the pointy-eared man down so that he could quickly reach his destination.
Feeling the weight of Lothur's Gravity and the sensation this hybrid gave off, the level 24 Sage's expression changed as he realized how far the creature in front of him had come.
'4th Catastrophe? You must have an impressive body to have already reached this level.' He immediately realized the reality as he saw how outdated his people were.
At Lothur's current level, the Sages of the coalition hunting him would not even be able to tickle this creature!
Only level 24 and 25 Sages would be able to fight him.
However, there was a big problem with this! Sages of such a level were very few in number, scattered all over the world, members of many different races, and usually didn't come out of seclusion unless chaos threatened the existence of their races.
In short, a high-level coalition against Lothur would not form simply because he existed!
Even humans who could benefit from the Soul Bone that Lothur could form would not move against him without good reason. That's because humans at those levels were beings with complete Spirit Bodies, with no room for new bones.
Many of them were individuals who had already lived more than 40,000 years and lost their entire families. Would they act for the sake of a third party? Lothur's bone would only be useful to others, not to them.
Aware of the reality, that being immediately realized Lothur could already be considered victorious in his journey and unstoppable to those opposed to hybrids!
Still, as level 23 Sages appeared around the cell where Cykad was, that level 24 man had no intention of taking Lothur lightly.
"Perhaps you're invincible to those who hunt you. But I'm not one of them, hybrid." He radiated light from his body, easily countering Lothur's Gravity, a skill based on Will. As the one with the greater Will of the two, he easily countered Lothur's movement before looking at him and attacking.
A beam of white light pierced through space and instantly reached Lothur's body, already facing Cykad's cell and about to break through the bars surrounding his companion.
Feeling the light burn through his being, Lothur smiled and allowed himself to be attacked, using the Prometheus Flames to melt the metal bars of the cell while simultaneously dealing with the formations inside it.
As he did so, his resistance to the element of light developed! nove/lB.In
