Chapter 843 In Search of a Miracle

After Lothur's body disappeared before a group of demons, four days passed in the blink of an eye.

The demons didn't despair at Lothur's sudden disappearance so soon after his death. They had all sensed that he had been killed, that his soul had collapsed and vanished from this world.

Still, they had begun to search for his body because there were 8 Soul Bones in it that could be very useful to high-level humans on the continent, and he also seemed to have something else with him.

They knew that Lothur had the Darkness Scythe, but what interested them the most was the device that could teleport him to another place without leaving a trace.

It worked even after his death. That could only mean it was a high-level essence!

That was what interested the demons who were currently searching for Lothur's body!

However, none of the strongest demons in the demon tribe were busy with it. Just before Lothur fell to the group of high-level demons on that fateful day, a level 24 demon had received the 5th singularity his tribe was searching for.

With what they had taken from Lothur's body, the demon tribe had finally gathered the Seven Singularities, and their leaders were currently performing the ritual to bring back the Demon Emperor!

Not far from where Lothur had fallen, where Viktoria and the other three were trapped, there was what looked like a gigantic tree, over 300 meters high, with a trunk at least 30 meters in diameter.

That was not the Lost Tree of Legends but an imitation of it, created by the second split of the Seven Singularities when the Demon Emperor was defeated thousands of years ago.

In that tree was the corpse of the creature that had terrorized Concordia in the past, where its body had been left after the group of Concordia experts had defeated it.

Around this tree, the tribe's strongest demons held the seven singularities, using their powers to bind these essences to the Prison Tree of their supreme leader.

Space barriers protected the area, as this ritual could take days to complete. During this time, the spiritual fluctuations would be so intense that if they weren't prevented by powerful barriers, beings from all over the continent would feel the awakening of the supreme leader of the demons.

To prevent the continental experts from gathering again and attacking the Demon Emperor during his awakening, these elders sealed off the area where they were almost perfectly.

While this was happening, the giant tree seemed to glow and gradually become more transparent while something inside it pulsated as if it were a heart.

That was the Demon Emperor that was rapidly evolving, coming back to life after being imprisoned in that tree for thousands of years!

But as the ritual continued, with dozens of hours to go, the prisoners near the area knew something was about to happen.

They weren't in the demon-protected area where everything was happening. Even so, they knew that something had happened days ago and that the demons were about to do something even worse.

In that place, the horse with white hair and a horn on its head said to Annaliese. "I think they have completed their mission. The Demon Emperor must be brought back to life!"

Hearing this, Annaliese didn't doubt it, but she didn't care either. She remained depressed, full of regret, staring at the ground as if she had lost something of herself.

A few days ago, a demon had visited her and her harem sisters to tell them that Lothur had returned to rescue them and had fallen to the demons.

So Annaliese, Viktoria, Elke, and Rebecca were already aware of the death of their beloved man!

They were all extremely sad, almost giving up on life.

But it was no wonder! They had lost the man they loved, who was the most talented and capable person they knew!

Besides, their situation wasn't good. While the Demon Emperor was being resurrected, they were wounded and imprisoned, waiting to become demon food.

In such a terrible situation, with virtually no chance of escape, there was no way they could not become discouraged and sigh in defeat at the bottom of the pit.

That was really the end of the road for them! It couldn't get any worse!

"It looks like we're all going to die very soon... I'm sorry for giving you false hope. I had no idea that demons were so capable."

"Don't blame yourself, Anna. There was no way we could have known. To bring down Lothur, these creatures must have had a mighty weapon." Viktoria muttered, feeling sad too, but not as badly as her younger sister.

"Let's look at the bright side. Soon, we'll all be with him again..." Rebecca murmured.

But then Elke wondered. "Would that really be good? I don't mind dying. But I wanted to at least avenge Lothur's death. If we're going to fall, wouldn't it be better to do it by killing some of them?"

"But how would we do that? We're wounded and in the hands of our enemies..." Viktoria said quietly.

The other beings in the cells sighed, also feeling that it would be incredible if they could face the demons once more before their deaths. Unfortunately, it didn't seem possible.

'Only a miracle would allow it now...' A three-headed being shook his head as he sighed in failure, feeling that perhaps this time, the whole world would fall into the demonic clutches.

That could be the end of all non-demonic life in Concordia!

...

Meanwhile, near where Lothur had last breathed a few days ago...

Suddenly, small areas of space distorted, and two individuals arrived in the area, crossing the space and then camouflaging themselves.

A small red creature with bristly fur looked at her gray companion and exclaimed.

"This is where our creator disappeared days ago." Blood said as she smelled the scent of Lothur in the area where they had last sensed him.

After absorbing the powers of all the spectres in the Castle of Shadows, the two began their journey back to Concordia, heading toward where they had last sensed their creator four days ago.

On that fateful day, they had strangely lost all contact with Lothur.

Since they had rushed to this place, these two cats, who had reached level 24 of soul cultivation and level 23 of body cultivation, were naturally worried about what might have happened.

"What should we do now?" She asked Smoke.

"There's no trace of where he went. Let's search the area for clues. Maybe we'll find something that will tell us what happened." 

"Okay."

With that, they split up in that area and quickly started searching for clues that wouldn't take long to bring results!
