Chapter 844 Escape

"What the hell is that?" He asked himself, feeling a powerful restriction nearby, something even he, a level 24 Sage, felt helpless against.

\'Blood, I think I found something.\' He used his mental communication with his sister. \'I believe this is related to the disappearance of our creator. Whatever\'s causing it is certainly beyond us.\'

\'Oh? If we can\'t look at it directly, let\'s look at the surroundings.\' Blood replied as she moved, almost instantly leaving the place where she had been miles away from Smoke to appear near him.

After arriving near Smoke, the red-furred being realized what had attracted her brother\'s attention. "Let\'s have a look around. Something here must tell us what\'s behind this barrier." 

"Yes." Smoke agreed, turning his attention to what lay beyond the area where the Demon Emperor\'s awakening ritual was taking place.

With the two of them working together and in a much smaller area than the one they had examined earlier, Blood found the signs of Lothur\'s women within moments!

"I have found the women of our creator!" She said to Smoke as she moved towards a cave not far from the spatial distortion, quickly reaching the entrance to the cave, where only a few level 22 demons were hanging around.

Under the current circumstances, all the high-level demons in the area were participating in the ritual to bring back the Demon Emperor.

That was a high-level ritual that was complicated to perform, and it was fraught with the risk of failure. As the main plan of the demons, there was no reason for any of these experts to divert their attention from something like this to protect a place that had never faced an opponent in thousands of years.

As a result, only level 22 demons were left to take care of the hostages there to feed the Demon Emperor, and Blood easily defeated them by sucking out their souls in a matter of seconds.

One of the humans trapped with Lothur\'s women frowned as he saw something happening to the demons on guard.

"What\'s going on?" He rose curiously from where he was waiting to die.

Before Blood and Smoke entered this place to rescue Lothur\'s four women, all the trapped beings, about 15, counting the four humans, realized that someone was acting.

"Someone is breaking into this place!" The three-headed beast saw the miracle he thought was impossible unfolding before him and could not contain his voice.

The women of Lothur watched without much emotion, but as soon as they saw a red and gray glow, they all opened their eyes wide in awe.

"Blood! Smoke!"

They screamed almost simultaneously, seeing that Lothur\'s creations had survived even after all that had happened.

Seeing his creator\'s women trapped and injured, Smoke took the initiative to destroy the entrance to the cells they were in.

"Where is our creator? What has happened? Why did his spiritual fluctuation disappear four days ago?" Blood asked as she looked around.

"Lothur...Lothur..."Annaliese hesitated, her eyes filled with tears again.

"Lothur is dead." Elke finished Annaliese\'s speech, while they all felt terrible about having to talk about the incident of days ago.

Gulp!

The two cats couldn\'t believe it at first, feeling that something like this shouldn\'t be possible and that it was a bad joke.

But when they saw the expressions and tears of those four humans and felt their heartbeats, they soon understood this was the case.

"Anyway, we have to avenge him!" Viktoria clenched one of her fists, finally free after Blood had destroyed the bonds that had held her for the past few weeks.

"Yes, we must. The damned demons are resurrecting the Demon Emperor as we speak." Rebecca said to the two cats, thinking that they should attack with all their might.

But then the horse with white hair and a pointed horn on its head said. "Do not do this! The ritual is nearing its end, so we won\'t be able to stop it. Attacking now will only endanger us all."

"If we do nothing, it will be much worse!" Annaliese said.

The three-headed beast sighed. "No, young ladies. You will only die in vain. So if you\'re willing to risk it, free us and escape with us. We\'ll gather allies to face the damned Demon Emperor!"

Smoke didn\'t disagree. "The beast is right. If our creator died, it was at the hands of those resurrecting the Demon Emperor. However, our creator had reached the 4th Catastrophe before he died. If we try to stop this ritual, we will all die."

"We\'d better run." Blood agreed. "If we stay to fight and try to sabotage the enemy\'s plans, we will surely fail and die with no chance of avenging our creator.

Now, the best thing to do is to retreat and plan our next steps." She said, remembering the ten Platinum-grade Soul Bones she had in a spatial ring, something that could help Annaliese and Viktoria but also human allies willing to fight alongside them!

\'Miss Viktoria, we have a bone for you and one for Annaliese. Our creator left them with us before we separated... I believe he foresaw trouble and left them for you.\' Blood said in Viktoria\'s mind, aware that even if she wasn\'t the strongest of Lothur\'s women, this woman was the one who led the others.

Hearing this, flames of hope rose in Viktoria\'s heart.

If she could absorb one more Soul Bone, she would reach 90% of her full Spirit Body and advance one level.

That would be essential if her group were to have a chance at revenge!

"All right, Blood and Smoke, free everyone in this place." She ordered. "Let\'s escape from here and start our plans to deal with the damned Demon Emperor!"

The others didn\'t disagree as they helped the beings in this place to leave just before they all fled under the leadership of Blood and Smoke, the only ones with enough energy to escape quickly.

With that, in less than five minutes, the group was out of the demons\' reach, free again on this continent to pursue their goals!
