BXBX NOVEL Chapter 619 Bad Omens
While carrying Lothur, Arno had to guard him for much of his way to his faction\'s headquarters.
He was the strongest cultivator in the Imperial Prison and the one who had stood against Lothur who was in his best condition. But with less than half of his available strength at the moment, the more than 20 level 17 enemies chasing and attacking him were enough to bother him greatly.
But even in front of this group, he managed to move and reach his headquarters, where more members of his faction were in the vicinity to help him.
"Attack the damned chasing me!" He shouted as he saw his people on the outskirts, watching in his direction with strange expressions.
Everyone in that faction knew what Arno was doing until a few moments ago. But they didn\'t expect him to return to this place with the hybrid of human and demon still alive!
They even expected their leader to return while being pursued since they faithfully believed he would be with the Diamond-grade Soul Bone.
But those chasing him were weaker than the ones they had prepared for, and Lothur was still alive!
"Boss, what happened? Why is the damned hybrid still breathing?" One of the stronger men in the surrounding area asked Arno.
"Those damn worms have rebelled against us sovereigns!" Arno shouted as he entered his faction\'s protective area. "Several of our allies were badly wounded when these worms prevented us from killing the half-breed.
So we had to back off our plans to avoid a carnage that would only benefit them!"
Upon hearing that, the men in the area understood the problem and cursed the names of the mothers of those enemies in the surrounding area.
One of them then exclaimed. "Come on, you bastards! Fight to exterminate the vermin opposed to our ascension!"
"Yeah!"
Several shouts broke out from that group before those men flew toward the enemies approaching that location.
Meanwhile, Arno took Lothur\'s body to the most protected spot in that location, where he would keep it safe while things didn\'t get better.
\'Come on, half-breed. You just need to finish recovering your Soul Bones...\' This man felt anxious, thinking Lothur\'s recovery was taking too long.
However, considering the level of injuries Lothur had just sustained, his recovery happened at the average speed of recovery for a hybrid of human and demon.
Amid his recovery, Lothur was dreaming once again of a destroyed world filled with bodies, blood, and darkness.
This place he had seen a few times before was a little different this time, without the presence of the voice he had heard more than once.
Under his feet was a tombstone, the only thing in dozens of kilometers that was not covered with blood or bodies.
On that tombstone was written a text he could not understand and a big name unmistakable to him.
\'Lothur Ritter.\'
Upon seeing this and opening his eyes meaningfully, Lothur began to feel pain in his head, chest, and right leg, quickly driving him away from this terrible place.
\'What\'s with this place? Is this a system thing?\'
...
As Lothur slowly recovered in the City of Darkness, Peters City became accustomed to his absence.
The local powers continued to perform their duties, and most locals continued with their routine while more cars appeared on the local streets with each new morning.
The Ritter Motor Company was slowly increasing its supply of vehicles while the families behind the company were doing their best to improve their numbers.
Viktoria, Annaliese, and Elke were already running behind the formation of the Ritter family\'s military force while everyone in this city was still in the dark about Lothur\'s \'escape.\'
But amid this, as night was developing in this city, on the Frost estate, something strange was \'brewing.\'
In the former home of Simon Frost\'s family, that place abandoned after the slaughter prior to the battle of that fateful day when the family\'s forces had defeated their many local opponents, darkness filled the surroundings.
The ground where Simon, his son, and his wife had died had a negative aura concentrating over it. At the same time, the spiritual energy in the surroundings seemed to vibrate with this darkness from there.
If one were to get any closer to that ground at the entrance to Simon\'s house, one would feel a chill in one\'s soul while a crackling sound spread through the surroundings.
From there, strong feelings of resentment and the will to kill would depart, little by little consuming the life in the surroundings, causing the plants around that house to die.
As the night developed, this phenomenon would grow stronger, slowly maturing something terrible in that place.
Fortunately for the living on this estate, such a thing would be temporarily neutralized and even weakened when the day came.
But unfortunately, this would not happen permanently, and with each passing night from now on, the darkness in this house and elsewhere around the Frost estate would intensify!
...
As a new day dawned, the inhabitants of Peters City and particularly of the Frost estate were still ignorant of what was happening in that place.
Meanwhile, after hours since the previous day\'s beating, Lothur had finally recovered enough for all his Soul Bones to return to their previous condition and his Spirit Body to recover.
Lothur was still unconscious, slowly recovering from the injuries of the previous day\'s beating. However, with his Soul Bones recovered, Arno didn\'t miss the opportunity to end the rebellion in the City of Darkness.
Once he was sure of young Ritter\'s situation, Arno publicly displayed his body, even allowing the many rebels to attempt to act against this unconscious subject.
Several tried, noting that Lothur\'s recovery was indeed magnificent and that only level 18 cultivators could hurt him enough to threaten his life.
Because of this harsh reality, the many rebels were forced to give up the insistent fight that had lasted for hours.
At the end of it all, the strongest in the city was still alive, but everyone was more or less exhausted, and to keep fighting without the chance to get a Soul Bone was ridiculous, so each side retreated after Arno\'s action.
One side still wanted to kill the other, but with no major reasons and everyone needing time to rest, things settled down locally.
In this temporary peace, Lothur would continue to recuperate while he had been left in an inner cell of Arno\'s faction.
There he would spend his next few days!
