YM778.TV Chapter 436 Emergency Measures
As Lothur\'s group was traveling through the forests adjacent to Peters City, suddenly, the front carriage stopped, bringing the one where he and Elke were to a halt shortly after that.
When this happened, Elke, who was meditating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes in surprise since it was not in their plans to make any stops at this time.
Only an hour and a half had passed since they had left Peters City, so they were far from reaching their goal.
Lothur also stopped paying attention to his books to look out of that vehicle while using his visual ability to check the surroundings.
"Is something wrong?" Julia, their traveling companion, asked as she looked from one side of the windows of that carriage to the other, not understanding the reason for this unexpected stop.
Lothur then said. "There are enemies ahead blocking the way."
"What?" Elke and Julia asked simultaneously, both getting worried, with one more or less understanding of what that meant. Yet, at the same time, the other was experiencing such a situation for the first time in her life.
Lothur explained further as he stored his books in his spatial ring. "A group of 40 cultivators is watching us from the outskirts while a rock blocks the path ahead..."
"They are here for me." He saw the status of Alric Baier\'s father, readily recognizing his enemies.
[Name: David Baier]
[Soul Cultivation: level 15]
[Body Cultivation: level 11]
[STR: 70.1] [CON: 81.4] [DEX: 71] [AGI: 70.9] [SOU: ???]
"40 people?" Julia asked, thinking it an exaggeration but quickly becoming willing to help him. "Lothur, if you want our help..."
"No, they are 2nd stage cultivators. You better not get involved in that." He said as he prepared to leave that carriage.
"Spiritual Warriors?" That woman turned pale as Elke began to get worried about her man.
Lothur then said. "Don\'t worry. I will talk to them and sort this out. But, in the meantime, stay here."
\'Talk to them?\' Julia could not believe it, but she and Elke could only accept that.
The two knew that Lothur was much stronger than them, and if they tried to get involved, they would only get in his way. So even knowing the situation was not good for him, the two stayed behind, fearful of what might happen.
Lothur left that carriage, already manipulating the system to turn some EVF\'s points into Constitution\'s, fearing the power of those individuals would be enough to kill him.
\'Looks like I\'ll have a tough fight here...\' He noticed that besides David Baier, six more level 15 Spiritual Warriors were around, along with fifteen level 14 individuals and the rest, level 13 men.
All of them were pretty strong, armed, and looking maliciously in his direction.
In this situation, Lothur could no longer keep his EVF points!
[50 points added in CON at the cost of 1,000 EVF.]
...
[CON: 205.1 -> 255.1]
...
[EVF: 1,143 -> 143]
Immediately upon doing this, Lothur felt something compelling run through his body, as if he were being electrocuted.
But this time, he had acted so decisively that the effects on himself became visible even to the people around!
At that moment, as he felt his level rising, Lothur seemed to have a powerful energy source moving inside his body, his skin glowing in a golden color. At the same time, tiny sparks were leaving his body, making him look like a child of thunder.
The young men in the carriage in front of Lothur\'s carriage saw this as they left that vehicle to understand the situation and did not need to hear anything from him. On the contrary, they immediately understood that something was wrong and would only get in the way of this silver-haired person, who, at the moment, was shining like a small star.
\'What is happening to him?\' The Transcendent watching Lothur saw this and was in doubt, curious to know what kind of art the son of Daemon was practicing.
The other individuals in that area also saw Lothur\'s condition and felt something was wrong.
"What\'s going on?"
"I don\'t know. Maybe he is using some technique?"
"It seems he has realized why we are here and is preparing for the worst, using everything at his disposal." One patriarch thought about this as he watched Lothur with his eyes narrowed.
\'It seems that he is really dangerous... He was still hiding something in the end!\' Such a person clenched his fists, seeing that his families were right not to give this fellow any more time.
As Lothur\'s enemies began approaching him, coming out of their \'hiding places\' to stand face-to-face with those chariots, he saw his status.
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: Life Devourer]
[Cultivation: level 11 -> 12]
[STR: 55.7] [CON: 255.1] [DEX: 50] [AGI: 65.9]
[INT: 93.4] [PER: 106.6] [WIL: 87.3]
[EVF: 143]
He saw his status as his clothes became soiled with the impurities leaving his body.
But now Lothur had no time to pay attention to this and continued with his clothes, which contained Bronz-grade armor that protected his vital organs, except his head.
On the other hand, he was already holding tightly to his Elemental Staff as he prepared to use his Space Belt.
\'The Elemental Staff allows me to destroy up to 50% stronger attacks than my body power. That means it will help me deal with spiritual attacks worth up to 382.65.\'
\'Hmmm.\'
\'That will probably put me in a position to fight these people.\' He pondered as he stopped and looked in the direction of the stronger enemies, who, at the moment, had stopped on top of the rock in the middle of that narrow dirt road.
\'That staff again...\' The Transcendent flying over the area continued to stand still, watching what Lothur would be able to do.
He could not let this young man die there since it was in the interest of Daemon\'s father to take Lothur to the empire\'s capital. But this envoy was curious to see that young man fight, so he did not decide to act immediately.
\'I will see some of his prowess... If he can save himself from this situation on his own merit, I\'ll give him a chance to spend a few more days with his little girlfriend before I take him to his grandfather.\' He thought as he looked in Elke\'s direction.
Meanwhile, Lothur finally said. "I see that some leaders of the province cannot handle the idea of me leaving and have come to say goodbye..."
"Or am I mistaken?"
"Tsk!"
"You really are a brave brat!"
"Humph! You\'re talking nonsense before you die!" David said this, glaring furiously at Lothur, feeling that today was his day to avenge his son\'s humiliation.
He and the other enemy experts there noticed the smell of impurities on Lothur\'s body and noticed that he had advanced. Naturally, they were curious to understand how this fellow had done it. Still, since the goal of everyone there was to eliminate him, none of them touched on the subject.
They just looked at each other, having one more reason to kill this person without any more second thoughts.
"Brat, today you will die! Don\'t try to stop us with words. That will be the end of you!" The patriarch Vogel said as poisonous clouds began to depart from his hands.
At that moment, several of these enemies attacked in Lothur\'s direction while this young man looked at them motionless.
Then...
Clang!
