Chapter 767 Improvements And New Orders
Upon meeting his women and Mathias' descendants, Lothur promptly thanked them for following his orders to the letter.
Knowing what Lothur would do with these kidnapped victims, his wives didn't take their time and let him do what he had to before they sought his affection.
The three Sages of the Jansen family gathered happily together. It was great to be on a new level, increase their vitality, and see their siblings achieving the same!
As they gathered, making room for Lothur's wives and him, this silver-haired young man soon activated his bloodline ability.
By doing so, the space around him was completely under his control. No one outside could sense what he had just started.
With that, Lothur didn't hesitate and was quickly watching as his ability sucked out the vitality and characteristics of the unconscious people in his surroundings.
The system showed him his improvements.

Most of those bodies turned to dust in the blink of an eye, while Lothur's EVF points rose significantly.
Most of these people were high-level Transcendents and low-level Saints. There were few Supreme Saints around, so his results were not as gigantic as they would have been if he had acted against high-level Saints or even Sages.
[EVF: 0 -> 59,536]
Even so, 800 people were a huge number of people. Even though most of them were many times weaker than Lothur, they provided him with high value together!

Seeing his status, Lothur noticed the red mist around him decreasing in density while the surroundings were completely devastated, with no bodies, no vegetation, and nothing alive. Only dead things, empty of laws and without essence, remained behind.
But he didn't care about the destruction his ability caused in the surroundings. Seeing his soul power approaching the level at which he could advance to level 23, Lothur was more than satisfied.
'At this rate, I'll be able to reach level 23 before I absorb my next Soul Bone... Perfect. I'll be able to build up a bit of strength to make better use of the bonus from the future bones I'll absorb.' He thought to himself, already looking in the direction of where his women were.
In doing so, he stopped manipulating the space around him and finally walked over to them, checking their status.

His wives had made good use of the opportunity to absorb several Soul Bones in the space of a few hours.
By adding the bonus of one bone to the other, they had easily increased their attributes by 5 to 6 times!
Lothur was happy to see these excellent attributes because now he could count on his women. He could go hunting with them without worrying about putting them in danger.
There would always be a danger. But the strength of these women was equal to or greater than his own!
Thinking about how much stronger his family was, Lothur said with a smile on his face. "Congratulations on your progress. We are all Sages now. But don't get complacent. As much as we have become legends to most of the people on this continent, there are still those who would easily destroy us with one look.
You need more Soul Bones, and I need enemies willing to challenge the family."
"You want us to hunt for you?" Viktoria realized that Lothur couldn't move around the continent casually, as his situation was delicate.
"More or less. I want you to focus on resolving the current tensions over the empire. Those enemies who are interested in the Ritter Motor Company will be good nourishment for me." He said seriously before looking at the spatial ring that held everything those 800 or so bodies had left behind.
"Not only for me but for our people. Those individuals who just died for our cause left behind countless resources and 15 Soul Bones. None of these bones are compatible with people with our characteristics. But they can be used to strengthen our men."
They were all interested, as they had family and friends who would like to help if given a chance.
Viktoria and Annaliese had one person in mind: their mother, Mabel.
But they didn't want to talk about that right now because they knew their husband had too many things on his mind to mention that woman's name.
"So I want some of you to watch the war with these Jansen family elders. But I want two of you to spread out throughout the realm. There must be some groups of demons hiding around Leopoldine. Kidnap them and bring them to me. No matter what level or demonic hierarchy. They are all useful to me."
When he said this and saw his women nodding, Lothur looked at the three siblings and said. "As for you, order some of your men to come here and build something in the place I destroyed. Let's camouflage the area."
"We'll do our best." The three said before leaving, leaving Lothur and his women behind.
As they stood alone, his wives gave him a different look, and Elke soon asked. "When do we start following these orders?"
"Tomorrow." Lothur smiled before leading one of the women to a place in the underground part of the area.
The other women smiled, but they all looked forward to their chance to be with him!
It was time for a passionate reunion between them!
