When Lothur opened his mouth to speak, everyone in that place kept their mouths shut, fearing they would meet their end if they declared anything.
Lothur said to everyone there, "Starting today, 50 people will die every day. Only those who swear eternal loyalty to me and accept with an open heart the darkness of those beside me will have a chance to survive.
Don't cling to futile feelings and hopes. You are all mine to do with as I wish. There is no hope of salvation, prisoners.
Tomorrow I will kill all the Divine Soul Transcendent cultivators in the City of Darkness, and after that, those predestined to die will be chosen randomly."
Everyone in that place felt the weight of those words, finding it highly unfair that things were like this, but unable to speak anything in front of Lothur.
These people knew that if they spoke any things, they could be killed in the blink of an eye!
'Damn it. We're in a damned slaughterhouse! That half-breed is going to devour us all!'
'What do I do? He can certainly overpower us with brute force, so is there any point in resisting him?'
'Better to become a slave to the darkness than a corpse!'
'Tsk! These are lies. He will kill us all anyway!'
'The only salvation is to unite against this abomination!'
Several people in that place were actively thinking about what to do, some against it and others in favor of surrendering to Lothur.
But before anyone could decide what to do, he said smiling, "But I have good news for those who surrender wholeheartedly. I will lead you out of this place! I promise you that!"
"Tsk! That's impossible!" Someone shouted, no longer able to stand this situation. "Guys, don't believe the words of the fucking half-breed. If we accept him, we will all be killed and devoured by him!
Our only chance is to unite against..."
That level 17 man was speaking, full of courage to warn the hundreds of people in the surrounding area, when suddenly a red laser pierced his body.
Unfortunately, Lothur had miscalculated, and when he fired such a thing, it destroyed that level 17 man's body, making his body disappear as soon as the red laser touched it.
But not only that, but when that attack hit the ground, it melted a few cubic meters of soil in the surrounding area, turning that into lava.
The people in the surrounding area saw this and opened their eyes significantly, seeing the power of the half-breed.
Gulp!
'What? He... He just melted the ground with one attack?'
'That...'
'A cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul had been wiped out that quickly?'
The people in the surrounding area looked palely at that spot, seeing the ashes of that man spreading out into the surroundings as those closest to that spot moved away from there.
Lothur himself was staring silently at that place, surprised by his powers.
'I didn't expect that to happen...' He bitterly laughed, noting the difference between the before and now of the Laser Vision.
He had targeted only one of that man's shoulders so as not to kill him. But his attack had been so strong that that man's entire body had been incinerated until only ashes remained after only a few milliseconds.
The ground itself had melted with his attack, something Lothur had never seen before!
But he did not lament the loss of the EVF points that would come from that man and said. "That is the fate of the rebels."
With those words, he flew from that place toward the Wildflower Faction headquarters, interested in giving Rebecca the skull Soul Bone so she could start absorbing it.
Halfway there, he looked at those level 18 men flying behind him and smiled.
Two of them had a Soul Bone!
In the entire Imperial Prison, there were four Soul Bones before Lothur's arrival. These bones were in three leaders of the biggest local factions.
Lothur already knew this, so he kept these men to kill them when he recovered his bloodline ability the next day.
As for those bones, he could only absorb one of them once again.
Unfortunately for Lothur, one of those two men had a left femur Soul Bone, just like the one he had absorbed earlier.
The other was a right humerus bone that he didn't have yet!
Anyway, soon, he would arrive at that building where he would live from now on next to Rebecca.
When she awoke an hour later, this woman would finally begin her slow absorption of that skull Soul Bone.
Meanwhile, Lothur would train his soul techniques after collecting all the resources from the more than 100 cultivators he had stolen before returning to this place with them under his control.
None of these people's other techniques would catch his attention much, so he wasn't very interested in learning new techniques.
And in a way, he didn't need many techniques. Soon he would have 5 Soul Bones with five special abilities.
One day he intended to have all ten bones that a body could hold, which would give him enough skills that he wouldn't need techniques!
Then his focus would be to reach the peak of the few he already had, and if one day he came in contact with something very unusual, then try to learn something new.
With the beginning of Lothur's training, the City of Darkness would be under tension for the next few hours, with some gathering to decide what to do and others waiting for the slaughter he had promised.
They didn't have to surrender right away, so for the time being, no one would do that.
...
While Lothur was training in the City of Darkness, Daemon's group was moving through the empire's capital.
After preparing themselves enough, it was finally time for them to attack their enemies' headquarters!
As the group leader, Daemon was standing in one of the alleys of this city, looking at the imperial palace, where he had old memories that were not so good.
There his mother had died and left him without any support, while his father gave him no attention.
But even though he remembered these sad memories, Daemon was not about to attack this place because of this.
His motivation was another, to take advantage of the emperor's absence to get revenge on the idiots who thought they could hurt his son!
"Come on, you bastards! Time to attack those brats!" He said to his men over a communicator.
