"Put that away, Lothur." The giant dinosaur said shortly after seeing the young hybrid's Platinum-grade weapon in front of him. "This weapon emits an extraordinary fluctuation that Sages like me can feel. If you use it for a few moments, you won't get into much trouble, but if you leave it outside your spatial ring for more than a minute, you'll get into trouble.
Keep that in mind, and avoid using it if you don't have to. If you have to use it, do it quickly."
Lothur immediately followed the beast's advice and stored his weapon in the spatial ring.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm With that done, the Tyrannosaurus Rex said. "About this Castle of Shadows, I have never heard of it. But I have a feeling that it will be difficult to deal with it. Spectres are very troublesome creatures.
So, let's concentrate on the demons. If the spectres are helping the demons, we will have to deal with them sooner or later. Until then, you'd better put that threat aside and focus on what's closer to us.
Unlike spectres, demons can help you grow stronger!"
Lothur agreed and asked. "So what do we do now? Where is the bone you spoke of?"
The dinosaur led the way out of the cave while answering him. "That bone has not yet formed, of course. As you know, I've been fighting demons ever since I left the Immortals Well.
That's why I have observers all over the northern region, where the demons' headquarters are supposed to be.
Among these observers, I currently have three groups on the trail of the Emperors. The bone I told you about is being watched by my teams."
"Oh? How do you know for sure that they are demons?" Lothur asked.
Demons of the Emperor lineage had bodies just like humans. There was nothing visually about them that would indicate their true nature.
Lothur had already seen this when he met Fabienne. The only way a normal person could recognize her is by seeing her use her powers, revealing her demonic nature. But without using them, she seemed as human as Viktoria and Elke.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex laughed. "Lothur, it's really complicated to see the true face of these creatures. But just as I can see what you are, even when you hide, I can see what these creatures are."
"Is that so?" Lothur understood and felt that it made sense.
After all, he was a hybrid of a demon Emperor and a human, but a Sage could still notice him. A pure demon Emperor should be easier to detect.
When he thought about it, he also felt an urgency to become a Sage because only then could he protect the truth about himself from the strongest in this world.
If he became a Sage, he could hide perfectly and even use his lineage ability without worrying about attracting enemies!
With this in mind, he clenched his fists and decided to assassinate one of these demon Emperors.
"How are we going to get this bone? How exactly are you going to help me?"
The magnificent creature replied. "I will not go with you. I will watch you from afar, or beings stronger than we intend to face will come your way.
The 5th stage demons do not always watch their juniors. They rarely do unless it is someone critical in the demon tribe. However, they are always looking for the movements of experts at my level.
So all I can do is tell you when to attack one of these creatures. You will have to fight for yourself."
"OK. What do I do now?" Lothur wondered, eager to go.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex stopped in front of Lothur, a short distance from his cave, and said as he slashed the space with his claws. "I will send you close to where two of these creatures are.
I will watch them from here for a few days to see if any Sages are watching these two. If not, I will send you a signal to act.
My men will help you identify the demons, but they cannot fight alongside you. But the demons are Saints like you, so I believe you have a chance to defeat them."
The Tyrannosaurus Rex had been working on the tracks of these creatures for several years. It was not easy to find such creatures!
Like Lothur, they could hide very well. If someone powerful enough to understand what they were didn't look directly at them, they could easily go unnoticed.
In the same way that Lothur had visited the imperial family of the Petha Empire and managed to escape without being identified as a hybrid, several Emperors had managed to move about the continent in secret.
But for creatures focused on finding such beings, like this dinosaur, who had resources and personnel to keep an eye on different parts of the state, finding them was more likely to happen over time.
It wasn't sure that you would eventually find them just by looking. But by making an effort to seek out information and news, by having people spread out over several powerful states, more areas would naturally be watched, increasing the chances of seeing one of them in action.
The dinosaur in front of Lothur had identified 15 demon Emperors in his lifetime and had recently encountered 2 of those 3.
He had identified those two a few days before Lothur had passed through the Immortals Well, and since then, he had been analyzing their situation to see how he could act.
Someone at his level could not simply move to kill these demons, or it would draw too much attention. So, this dinosaur's current job was to confirm the demons' identities, check how dangerous it would be to act against them and use his many contacts to send demon hunters to kill them.
All of this work was complicated and took time to produce results. Luckily for Lothur, this creature had been 'saving' these 'walking bones' for him, so he hadn't sent anyone to 'collect' them yet.
Seeing that Lothur understood what he had to do, the dinosaur said. "Now go. Kill these two creatures. If we're lucky, at least one of their bones will benefit you."
In the next instant, Lothur jumped into the spatial rift created by the beast and quickly arrived at a completely different place, this time in an area he knew.
'Norid...' He immediately identified the area, as he appeared nearly 3 kilometers high, above a famous mountain range of this state.
From there, he saw a human city not far away and immediately flew closer to the ground, planning to wait for the moment to act there.
But just as he reached the city, Lothur heard a rumor.
"Ah, a whole village has been devoured by a damned hybrid!" A woman shouted at the door of an inn, where several people were standing in line with fearful expressions and bundles of clothes on their backs.
The terrible news had spread throughout the state, and many people from smaller towns and villages were migrating to larger cities for fear of being the next to be devoured.
Hearing this and seeing how crowded this city seemed for its size, Lothur frowned.
'A hybrid? Is there another like me?' His eyes narrowed, and he became extremely interested!
