YM778.TV Chapter 471 Counterattack
While Lothur was touching each of the medicines he found with his visual ability, the demon looked at these plants and fruits and searched for something for itself.
It had not yet given up on running away from Lothur. The opposite of that, after seeing this enemy absorbing the darkness of that previous pool, this creature had become even more decisive in its convictions.
If it did not find a way to escape, that is, get stronger and reach the minimum necessary to escape from Lothur, it would die at the hands of this person!
So even with all its suffering up to this point, it was still faithful to its beliefs and searching for resources to regain its strength.
\'In the other chamber, I couldn\'t do anything against you, Lothur. But that was thanks to that damned snowman!\' It thought about it silently as it surveyed the surroundings of where the silver-haired young man had dropped it.
\'However, in this place that doesn\'t have those damned beings, when you get into one of those pools, I\'ll use that chance to prepare a surprise for you, you bastard.\' It clenched its fragile fists.
...
An hour later...
After much searching of the area, Lothur had found four interesting items, one Bronze-grade, two quasi-Silver, and one Silver. One of them matched Elke, while any type of cultivator could use the others.
In addition, he found several good-quality medicines. Still, none of them were compatible with him or the people he knew.
Since there were beasts in the area, he avoided taking more than necessary, satisfied with his gains on this place.
But to harvest one of these resources, Lothur had to develop a unique resistance to the wood element.
When he tried to harvest one of these medicines, Lothur\'s body suddenly began to turn into the wood, while little plants grew out of his skin.
He had felt the strangest sensation of his entire life at that moment. Still, after more than 2 minutes of suffering, the system appeared to notify him of a new resistance.
Because of this, he now had a Bronze-grade wood resistance, and he once again received a small promotion in terms of Perception.
[PER: 120.9 -> 131]
Other than that, he had a few fights against beasts in that area, beings interested in the medicines he had collected.
But after little \'training\' with these individuals, he had escaped with that demon to the area of the green pools, where he could experience the latest offerings of this area.
Before entering one of the pools, Lothur tied the demon to a tree, so this creature would not escape unless helped by some beast.
After this, he began his meditation, preparing himself for possible improvements in his physique that this beast sanctuary might end up bringing him.
But while things were going well for Lothur, for the first time, this demon had achieved one of its plans!
After staying in the vicinity of this arboreal place for over an hour, much of the time with Lothur fighting or identifying resources, it found some medicines helpful.
Not only had it found resources that matched its qualities, but this creature had also collected three fruits from two different plants.
It had stored these items inside its body, in the special storage these beings usually had in their horns.
Demons, especially those of high demonic rank, were either privileged beings or cursed by mother nature, depending on who was analyzing them. Because of this, they had some advantageous characteristics for their survival, such as spatial storage.
Because of this, it had managed to hide these medicines from Lothur, and when it realized this human had fallen into an unconscious state, it immediately did what it had to do.
Still tied up in that place where Lothur had put it, this demon made its spatial storage release a fruit that looked like a plum. It appeared above its face and immediately opened its mouth at an angle of more than 110 degrees, showing its terrible teeth.
\'Finally!\' It celebrated as it felt the energy from that item coursing through its body, slowly recovering the damage that Lothur\'s bloodline had done to its body.
Such a thing was so significant that it felt like it was coming back to life, feeling its energy jump overnight to the point where it felt like screaming.
Its dehydrated and malnourished body began to recover. Still, before the effects of that first medicine were over, the demon acted to maintain its previous appearance.
Demons could manipulate their own regenerative powers!
This ability was most refined in beings of good rank, as was the case with this individual. So if one of them wanted to keep a wound open, they could do something like this.
This demon, who looked like a human child, used its ability to maintain its previous appearance to fool Lothur with it.
\'Hehe, let\'s see what happens next, human.\' It looked in Lothur\'s direction and smiled in anticipation. \'Keep getting stronger... The one who will benefit from this at the end of the day will be me!\'
\'In the meantime, I\'ll let you believe you\'re in front of me using my clan\'s most secret skill!\'
That was indeed a secret skill known to few humans, even among demon hunters.
After all, this skill had its best effects on Emperor demons, those beings able to blend thoroughly between human groups and remain unrecognizable.
So it did not take long for this creature to ingest the second medicine, advancing its recovery, not caring about the medicinal effects of that on its body.
Medicines could be used in different ways, depending on the type of medicine but also the circumstances of the one using it.
In this demon\'s case, besides these medicines being compatible with its body and soul, the overall quality of its body was superior to those items, and it was injured significantly. For this fact alone, even if those medicines were the kind used to promote one\'s physique, it would first serve to recover that physique before promoting anything.
Since it was easier to recover something one already had, those medicines did not have any adverse effects, nor did they take any time to give results on this Monarch demon.
Some beasts in the surroundings of that area sensed that something was happening but did nothing against it. Besides the fact that this creature was tied up, they had no orders to take possession of Lothur\'s demon.
On the other hand, they had no way of sensing much of the changes in that creature\'s body, so they were too in the dark to do anything about its improvements.
That way, hours passed in that place, and soon Lothur awoke to see messages from the system, some that were somewhat different.
\'That feeling...\' He realized something as he saw the system updating him.
