Looking at his status after losing two singularities, Lothur sighed in defeat when he saw how much he had been hurt by falling into the demons' trap.

Fortunately, he was still a Sage, which meant he could hide his tracks and use his bloodline ability without attracting the attention of experts far away from where he acted.

'My body cultivation will never be the same... But my soul cultivation will be able to recover to its previous level or even higher...' Lothur thought as he remembered his bloodline ability now had a more favorable conversion factor for him and could be used without limits.

A smile broke out on his face at this thought, and he couldn't help but think he might be able to regain everything he'd lost and become even stronger than before!

'It doesn't matter anymore. What happened can't be changed. It's time for me to move on!' He made up his mind and immediately used his Space Watch to leave the area he was in.

Lothur thought about taking the Space Crystal from the artifact and finally absorbing it. But now he was too weak to risk being tracked down by demons searching for the Immortal Crystal. So he decided to leave it until it was time for him to absorb his 9th Soul Bone.

Thus, Lothur disappeared from the volcanic region where the Space Wathc had brought him months ago.

...

In the blink of an eye, Lothur would reach an area in the north of the continent, where he thought even if the war between demons and humans had already begun, it would be the home of the resistance, where there would be groups that could better resist the enemies.

He didn't know if Concordia had already fallen to the demons. But if it hadn't, this area was undoubtedly one of the best for him to find out about the state of the war.

As soon as he reached the southernmost border of the Petha Empire, Lothur saw the destruction the war had caused so far.

The first small town on his way lay in ruins, with a highly intense aura of death and several souls unable to ascend to reincarnation due to the state of the Wheel of Reincarnation.

There were signs of a battle, with many properties destroyed, blood stains here and there, a lot of blood, in fact.

There was an intense stench of rotten blood in the area, a common sign of places that demons had brutalized.

As he felt it and saw all the destruction in this place that had once been home to 60,000 people, Lothur saw his fears take shape.

'Shit! It can be worse than I thought.' He clenched his fists as he hid and scanned his surroundings.

'But from what I can sense here, what happened in this city wasn't that long ago... It must have happened three weeks ago at the most.' He became more serious after the initial shock.

'The demons won and escaped, with most of the group alive, ready to absorb what they devoured.' Lothur's silver eyes sparkled as he saw his chance.

'That's your mistake! To absorb the energy generated by a city like this would take at least 10 days, even for 5th-stage demons. But I doubt that such beings would act here!'

At this thought, Lothur immediately activated his One With Nature ability and simultaneously activated his sight ability. 

He hadn't lost any of his previous powers, only the incredible energy of the singularities. As a result, his powers were still at his disposal, a little weaker but still as useful as before.

Looking at what the plant creatures still alive in this area had witnessed days ago, Lothur saw his theories were correct. The demons that had attacked this city were mostly 4th-stage creatures, with even 3rd-stage creatures among them.

About 500 demons had attacked the city, devouring more than 40,000 inhabitants. The remaining residents had fought and died, killing a few dozen creatures but still losing.

More than 400 demons had managed to flee this place with their bellies full!

When Lothur saw them fleeing before the experts who had arrived to protect the human domain, he immediately set off, following the same path the demons had taken days before.

Some of them, or even all of them, must still be absorbing what they devoured there. 

Even if they were close to finishing their absorption, it would be impossible for such low-level beings to absorb so much energy so quickly.

Each surviving demon had consumed an average of 100 human bodies!

From Lothur's point of view, this was the demons' big mistake!

They thought he was dead and dealt with groups of creatures weaker than him, who weren't careful enough against his tracking ability.

But that wasn't so strange. After all, Lothur had a tracking ability that could only be described by the word supreme.

No other being in all of Concordia had powers that came close to Lothur's One With Nature!

So Lothur made his way at high speed to where the demons had fled, where he would soon find a group of these creatures in an underground facility near the border of the Petha Empire and Rablus.

The demons had been active in Concordia for a long time, so much so that high-ranking demon hunters even believed that the headquarters of the demon tribe was in this area.

That was not true, but the demons did have bases in the north of Concordia, where their members could seek asylum in these human lands, where they could safely go into seclusion, etc.

Arriving at the location, Lothur saw a few Sages in the area to keep an eye on the place, but none of them were particularly powerful.

Since the strongest of them was only a level 23 Sage, Lothur wasn't afraid of the experts in the area as he made his way inside the underground facility.

There were only 5 Sages there, while about 600 demons between levels 17 and 21 were in the lower levels of this demonic facility.

Seeing so many targets for him, Lothur smiled devilishly, ready to begin his revenge.

'Time to pay back what you took from me, creatures!' He didn't hesitate to activate his bloodline ability, knowing he could make it work as long as he had the energy to activate it.

Using his abilities to quickly disarm the demonic formations in his path, Lothur invaded the facility, reaching where the strongest were guarding the area.

Thus began the greatest massacre of demons in the history of the world!
