Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 870 Lost Battle?

By activating his Storm skill, Lothur immediately caused the air pressure above the city to change dizzyingly, creating winds of more than 2,000 kilometers per hour.

Meanwhile, the black clouds in the sky reached their maximum, bringing down rain so heavy that if it weren't for the city's defenses, it would have pierced the houses like mighty needles hurled at high speed.

Blades of air and water formed on the city's outskirts as Lothur flew at high speed to escape the Demon Emperor, concentrating on brutalizing the demons surrounding the city.

Swooish!

Several demons fell to Lothur's movement without a chance to do anything, their bodies brutalized and losing their fighting condition.

Even if they weren't killed, they were so badly wounded that any Sage with the ability to kill demons would be able to deal with the first ones to fall.

But Lothur had no intention of letting his nutrients fall to the ground without leaving EVF points behind.

As he fled from the mighty Demon Emperor, he kept his bloodline ability active, using the red mist around him to drain the life force from his helpless victims.

The Demon Emperor saw Lothur incapacitate more than 200 demons in a single moment but also escape their initial attacks, which was truly impressive.

'This is a really strong hybrid! I have to take him seriously, or he will become a formidable enemy.' The black-haired man thought as he flew faster and faster, causing dark skeletons to appear around him as he tried to get closer to Lothur.

As he did so, and Lothur followed his plan to diminish the enemy forces, the surrounding beings suffered the consequences of the two men's movements.

While the demons found it immensely difficult to move around the area or even suffered from the abilities Lothur used to brutalize them, the members of the coalition in the city suffered from the spiritual pressure in the area.

Even though Lothur and the Demon Emperor weren't targeting them, the people in this city, especially the protectors outside the local defensive barrier, were suffering from the pressure of the two's movements and their remaining blows.

As he acted, the Demon Emperor left a huge trail of death, creating more and more demonic skeletons capable of corrupting the ground they touched or the people around them.

The Demon Emperor's diabolical energy was so strong that one only had to stand close to him to be affected.

"Shit! Stand firm!" One of the strongest Sages saw some of his men losing their minds and starting to attack their own comrades.

"Damned Demon Emperor! Your power is too extreme!" A level 24 Sage shouted as he realized why this demon could unite the demons of Demon Island and form his own state.

With his special power, he could corrupt the weakest, turn enemies into temporary allies, and weaken his opponents from within the opposing forces.

At the same time, the Demon Emperor could use powerful skeletons as his tools, bringing ancient beings back into the world and forcing them to act in his name.

As he hunted Lothur in this area, he demonstrated some of these powers, bringing forth more and more powerful skeletons of level 24 and 25 creatures to join him against the hybrid.

With increasingly more skeletal creatures chasing him, Lothur quickly lost space to maneuver.

Even before he killed the demon number 401 there, he realized he would have to flee this place without completing his mission, or he would have trouble escaping later.

[EVF: 19 -> 80,000.]

Looking at the amount of points he had absorbed in this place, Lothur regretted not being able to continue. 'If it weren't for that bastard, I could get three times as many points.' He thought, considering that after the enemy leader's arrival, he had only been able to act against the weakest.

Thinking it would be better for him to flee, he immediately put those points into his Constitution, which would make it faster for him to escape from this place.

[5,333 points added to CON at a cost of 79,995 EVF.]

...

[CON: 60,800 -> 66,133.]

...

[EVF: 80,000 -> 5.]

As the skeletal creatures under the Demon Emperor's control were about to reach Lothur's body, his speed increased by nearly 10%.

"We will meet the other day, Demon Emperor. Today, I give you this victory." Lothur said before disappearing from the area with the help of the Space Crystal.

When the Demon Emperor realized he couldn't catch up with his enemy, he was naturally furious, for for the first time, he had to watch his opponent flee.

'Wretch! He's really good at running. I didn't expect him to leave this city like that.' The Demon Emperor made an ugly face when he realized Lothur was no ordinary person.

Not being a member of the alliance and not caring about leaving a city with thousands of living beings who would surely die for the demons, Lothur turned out to be a much more formidable enemy than the demon had previously thought!

The greatest weakness of the people and creatures of the continent was that they had to protect their own people, family, and so on. But Lothur didn't care if thousands died to his right and millions to his left.

He was willing to do almost anything to strengthen himself and reach the level that would allow him to achieve his goals.

Sensing this, the Demon Emperor couldn't help but worry.

"Damn it! Lothur, mark my words. I will hunt you down wherever you are. I will kill you, you damned hybrid!" He shouted angrily, causing the spiritual energy in the area to tremble as the weakest in the area put their hands to their ears with that deafening scream.

Meanwhile, the people of that city were trembling with fear as they saw themselves abandoned by the warrior who seemed to be going to save them just a few moments ago.

However, the strongest experts left there didn't blame Lothur and even agreed with his move.

'Someone with so much potential must grow up before worrying about life on the continent. If he stayed here and fell to the Demon Emperor, that would be the real tragedy.' One of the level 24 Sages over there thought to himself, willing to die to protect human territory but not blaming Lothur.

Someone had to act for the greater good of winning the war, even if it meant losing the battle!

While some understood this and the surviving demons tried to control themselves in the face of the new situation, one of the level 25 men in the group defending this city looked in the direction where a space cloud was disappearing.

'Why did the hybrid take the elder Faas?' This person wondered as he noticed that Lothur hadn't left alone.
