Chapter 741 Reunion
Chapter 741 Reunion?
Feeling himself grabbed by something, Lothur had nothing to do as he was dragged through the spatial rift, leaving the previous area in the blink of an eye and appearing in a completely different area.
Unlike the green forests of the Petha Empire, the area he was dragged through had almost no vegetation, being a gray, soot-filled area.
Upon arriving at this new place, Lothur saw a large mountain with a trail of smoke coming from its top and realized that there was probably a volcano there.
'Where am I?' He asked himself, as he was unfamiliar with this area.
But Lothur had not paid attention to his surroundings for long when he noticed the large creature that had dragged him to this place.
"Lothur, you have grown up fast."
Hearing a familiar voice, Lothur turned to face a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex, even larger and more ferocious in appearance than the projection he had encountered in the Immortals Well.
"You..." Lothur was surprised but also relieved, feeling that this being was not an enemy hunting him.
However, he couldn't help but be shocked not only by the sight of this creature but also by its cultivation level.
[Name: ***]
[Cultivation level: 22]
[STR: ??] [CON: ??] [DEX: ??] [AGI: ??]
"Are you... Are you a Sage?" Lothur opened his mouth to ask.
The massive creature beside him opened his mouth as if smiling and said. "Yes, I became a Sage some time ago. Since my projection in the Immortals Well was made when I left the area and has not been updated since then, it did not fully show you what I am."
Such projections constantly sent information back to the main body. But the reverse was not true, and the projection would only know things about the being from when it was created.
The only exception was the vital status of their body, which would continue to support their existence as long as they were alive. Once they died, the projection of someone like this beast would naturally disappear.
"This... Well, congratulations on reaching the 5th stage. That's impressive." Lothur sighed, but he could not stop looking at this beast.
This was a creature over 10,000 years old!
Beasts could live longer than humans because their strength was concentrated in their physical characteristics.
This being was not impressed and said. "Don't say that. You are approaching my level. You will become a Sage if you absorb a few more Soul Bones."
This dinosaur could sense that there were "only" 6 bones in Lothur's body. If this young hybrid added 4 more bones, he would surely reach level 23 and complete the formation of his Spirit Body.
This would certainly not be easy to accomplish, considering the difficulty in finding compatible Soul Bones. But it could be done, and by that time, this young man would be one of the strongest in the world!
Few known Sages were at level 23 and above, and not even creatures like this Tyrannosaurus Rex know of much of other Sages.
Theoretically, there were five levels for Sages, but almost all known Sages were at the first two. The rest were so difficult that most died in the 2nd level.
Hence, this dinosaur couldn't help but get excited about Lothur's current level and how far he could go by "only" absorbing 4 more bones. If they were lucky, the young man could reach such a level in a few months!
At that time, this creature and his people would have a great help in the fight against the demons!
Lothur heard this and said nothing about the future. Instead, he asked. "Did you find me because of that Tyrannosaurus Rex from earlier? The one that got away?"
"Yes, that subordinate was chasing a group of creatures you killed. When you went after him, he called me out of fear that you were an enemy." He said, laughing at the previous situation.
Without meaning to, Lothur had shown himself to this beast and even helped him eliminate some troublesome creatures.
"Lothur, how about joining me? Let's hunt demons together." He suggested.
This being still followed his master's will to hunt demons.
When he noticed that Lothur was near an important breakthrough, he couldn't help but be interested in hunting with this young man.
Humans and hybrids had a great advantage in cultivation over other types of beings. With just one Soul Bone in their hands, they could advance in a matter of hours, whereas ordinary beings would need hundreds of years to achieve the same!
He needed a strong partner with the potential to follow his mission of destroying demons, so helping Lothur become stronger could quickly produce such a person!
"Oh? How could I hunt with you, elder? I am so weak compared to you that I fear I would die facing the kind of enemy you will attract." Lothur commented.
"Don't worry. I'll help you from the shadows, showing you places to go and hiding so that 5th-stage demons don't get in the way of our plans."
"5th stage demons?" Lothur wondered. Such demons would create Platinum-grade Soul Bone!
The quality of a Soul Bone could be affected by the demon's cultivation stage, yet it depended more on the purity of its lineage. A 5th stage demon would only reach that stage if it had an Emperor bloodline, so the bone it produced would naturally be Platinum-grade.
A Platinum-grade bone would not only provide more advanced powers, but when one absorbed it, the bonus that would come from absorbing it was much higher than that of a Gold-grade bone.
To give you an idea, one could become 80% to 160% stronger after absorbing just one of these bones!
Therefore, they were much more valuable than any other type of bones, and Lothur could not help but be interested in these existences of the highest demonic level.
If he could absorb such bones, it would be perfect!
"Then I am interested. But I have to take care of something. I'm not in such a hurry right now since this is under control in the short term. But I must resolve it before I go on a longer hunt." Lothur said.
"Very well. How about this? I have a Soul Bone in mind that will suit you very well. Why don't we go get it now, and then you go solve such a problem? I'm sure you'll be able to solve it quickly after absorbing that bone."
