After completing the enhancement of two of his attributes, Lothur felt much stronger, regaining a good fraction of his recently lost powers.

The energy he had just absorbed was tremendous, improving him so much that he almost felt like he had absorbed a singularity.

Looking at his status, he couldn\'t help but smile when he saw that he could quickly regain his powers by fighting demons!

\'Excellent! That\'s what I needed!\' He clenched his fists in excitement, feeling that he would regain all of his strength if he encountered three more groups like that one.

But now, he could do it quickly since he didn\'t have to wait for 24 hours after using his bloodline ability. He could resolve his situation in hours or days if he were lucky!

With that in mind, Lothur wanted to leave immediately and return to hunting his targets. 

Looking at the many Soul Bones in the area of this demonic facility where he had finished his massacre, he thought of the Ritter Motor Company.

\'I will go to Peter City. There, I can try my luck with the Ritter Motor Company\'s spy network and deliver these Soul Bones to my men.\' He thought, having no idea what had happened to his women or how his company had developed.

Lothur hoped his company was still in operation and his vehicles were already rolling through all over the southern region.

If they were, he could use his spy network to look for news of human cities attacked by demons, from where he could use his ability, One With Nature, and then make his way to such outposts.

As for his women, he believed he would learn something about what had happened to them in Peters City.

But Lothur wasn\'t very hopeful. Since he had died before he could save them from the Demon Emperor, he thought the chances of his women being alive were less than 10%.

That made him feel bad. However, being weak and without many alternatives, he focused on strengthening himself to at least avenge his family if necessary.

With all this in mind, he would soon finish collecting all the Soul Bones. He could not find any Platinum-grade bones that were compatible with him.

Among the many other bones, there were Soul Bones that were compatible with him, but they were too low in quality for him to consider absorbing.

With that, he would soon leave for Peters City and use the Space Watch to quickly cross the continent and reach his city.

Within moments of the massacre north of Concordia, a space cloud appeared over Peters City, unnoticed by the local powers due to Lothur\'s manipulation.

Upon arriving in his city, Lothur felt the black flames on the bodies of many of his local slaves while noting the place was still in one piece.

Not only that, but the city seemed four times larger than the last time he had been there, and the number of local experts multiplied many times over the past few months.

\'Effects of the war, I would say...\' Lothur wasn\'t surprised when he sensed the partners of the Ritter Motor Company had all moved to this area, while some of them had increased their forces with his help.

The result of these two things was the apparent increase in local power and wealth, which attracted people even in normal times. In times of war, this place was much safer than many others on the continent. Hence, war migrants naturally looked at it differently.

But when Lothur saw the city was still standing, the factories were working, and the most important local producers were there, he sighed with relief, realizing his 100 days hadn\'t been long enough for Concordia to fall.

He quickly made his way to the Ritter family headquarters, leaving the Ritter Motor Company, Mabel, and his other local acquaintances behind to join the Koch patriarch.

As he passed through the walls of the Ritter headquarters, Lothur surprised the Koch family leader, who was currently at level 21, having been one of the great beneficiaries of the young Ritter\'s months of hunting.

When he saw Lothur appear before him, the Koch patriarch thought at first that it was a soul there to scare him. But when he saw how solid that person\'s body was, and also his cultivation, he soon realized he was facing the true leader of the Ritter family!

"Lothur!" He shouted as he turned pale, staring in awe at this person who should have died at the hands of demons.

The Koch patriarch was happy. But to see someone who should have died missing was rather shocking!

Considering Lothur\'s miraculous deeds, this man couldn\'t help but feel his breathing rate change as he looked at the young man before him.

"Patriarch Koch, it\'s good to see you. A while ago, I thought I\'d never see my friends again." Lothur said as he smiled. "Fortunately, I was able to return in time...

Anyway, we don\'t have much time, so I can\'t answer your questions. Just tell me about the situation of my women and the continent."

Patriarch Koch took a second to process this comment, full of doubts. But being in the middle of a war that had already killed millions of people, he soon put his curiosity aside.

"Annaliese, Rebecca, Viktoria, and Elke were alive until the last time we checked their information, three days ago. But considering their last position, I don\'t think anything has changed."

Hearing that, Lothur felt a great weight lift from his shoulders as he closed his eyes and sighed softly.

\'That must have been Blood and Smoke.\' He thought, as these two would be their only hope in his absence.

"As for the war, it broke out over two months ago. In that time, we\'ve had no news of the Demon Emperor taking action. Still, groups of demons have already decimated dozens of towns across the continent.

The only reason Leopoldine hasn\'t suffered losses of this magnitude is because of our constant monitoring of the state, which has allowed us to anticipate events and act in time before tens of thousands of people are killed.

Nevertheless, the situation is not good. Patriarch Koch said, feeling a great weight for what had happened so far.

They had saved many people. But each time they acted, they had to accept losses of a few hundred people, little compared to what had happened outside Leopoldine, but a lot for the victimized families.

"I see. All right, here\'s what I want you to do..."
