Chapter 866 Fusion Failure?

When he heard Annaliese\'s voice, a smile appeared on Lothur\'s lips.

"Anna, I thought I would never hear your sweet voice again." He used the communication crystal in his hands and said in a pleased tone.

Laughter came from the other end of the line as Lothur identified each of his four women.

"Lothur, how are you? Are you well?" Viktoria asked in a more serious tone, still worried about him.

He looked at the crystal and said. "I am very well. Those damned demons almost killed me earlier. But fortunately, they underestimated me. Now I\'m even stronger than when I faced them months ago."

"That\'s great," Elke said. "We are stronger too. We\'re currently on the side of the continental coalition with the Seraphim Church... As much as we were their enemies in the past, we\'re allies now, and we\'ve even received Soul Bones from them."

"Oh?" Lothur wasn\'t surprised by this information, nor was he unhappy that his women had allied themselves with their former enemies.

As much as Lothur disliked the Seraphim Church, he hated the demons who had almost killed him even more!

"This is good." He said. "How many Soul Bones do you have now?"

"Eight." They all said at the same time.

"Perfect. I\'ll get you new bones very soon. We\'ll meet again then!" He said, not intending to bring his women to his side in the short term.

"What about you?" Rebecca asked. "Do you have any new bones?"

"Yes, I currently have nine Soul Bones. My soul and physical strength should be about the same as the Demon Emperor\'s. But he certainly has other attributes that are stronger than mine, so I don\'t intend to go to him now."

"Incredible!" Annaliese commented in an excited tone, happy that her man had become so strong even after an overwhelming defeat at the hands of demons.

"Anyway, you should be careful from now on. The demons are hunting mighty humans to devour those who can be of most use to them. Mabel was their last target before she completed her Spirit Body."

"We are aware of that," Viktoria said. "How is our mother?"

"She is well. But she\'s not out of danger. As long as the Demon Emperor is alive, she will be a potential target for him. But for now, I don\'t think anything will happen. Many demons have died in Peters City, and the strength of our men there must have exponentially increased since I left.

That\'s why you must be careful. The demons will probably move on to easier opponents in the short term."

"Sounds like you underestimate us." Rebecca laughed.

"Not at all. But Peters City has me as a supplier of Soul Bones. Does the place you\'re in have anyone like that?" Lothur commented seriously.

He had recently secured over 700 Soul Bones for the powers of Peters City. On the other hand, he had just eliminated more than 300 demons in the facility where he was now. With these bones, which he would soon leave in that city, his forces could be strengthened even further.

Meanwhile, the headquarters of the Seraphim Church had received only 80 Soul Bones since the war began, three of which had been given to Annaliese, Elke, and Rebecca.

Knowing how efficient Lothur was at obtaining Soul Bones and making sure they weren\'t destroyed, the four women weren\'t offended by his speech, knowing that they were easier targets for the demons.

"Don\'t worry. We don\'t intend to move. We haven\'t fought in this war against the demons yet, so they don\'t even know about us." Elke said.

"Do they?" Lothur wasn\'t so sure. "Where you are, you can only rely on yourselves. Demons are very good at controlling weak minds. Someone from the Church could betray you at any moment."

"We\'ll keep our eyes open." Viktoria commented.

"Okay, now I have to go. Ah, where are Blood and Smoke? I can sense them, but they don\'t seem to be in the same place as you." Lothur remembered the two cats.

"They\'re hunting spectres all over the continent. We let them go so they could grow stronger." Rebecca said.

"Okay. I\'ll try to find them and send them back to their position with some resources. Anyway, that\'s all for now. Take care of yourselves."

"You too."

After saying their goodbyes, the conversation ended, and Lothur placed his communication crystal in his spatial ring.

Having already collected all the Soul Bones from the area he was in, he manipulated space seconds after he finished talking to his wives and returned to Peters City.

...

Arriving in Peters City, Lothur was soon in the area of his family\'s treasures, but he had no information on other locations like the one he had attacked earlier.

There were many cities around Concordia that demons had attacked, but Lothur needed to know their exact location and whether the attacks had occurred only a few hours ago.

Even his advanced tracking skills would be limited if too much time had passed. After all, demon tracks were more complex than those of other races.

Not only that, but many demons could change their level and position after a short time since their \'meal,\' which could make things difficult for him.

With nowhere else to attack, Lothur decided to "play" with the new Soul Bones he had just obtained!

If he could fuse the Soul Bones and create what he needed to complete his Spirit Body, he could make the breakthrough that would end the war in a matter of hours!

So he would soon take two Soul Bones of the same body part, Gold grade, and fuse them together, trying to create something of a higher level.

As he did so, the usual semi-transparent golden cauldron appeared between Lothur\'s hands, and the two bones inside it accelerated, orbiting each other and coming closer and closer together.

But amid this fusion, Lothur noticed a problem, as he felt his spiritual energy being consumed considerably by the process, something that hadn\'t happened even when he had fused Gold-grade weapons into Platinum-grade items!

\'Huh?\'

Realizing that his fusion would fail, Lothur used the Space Crystal and teleported himself and the cauldron with the two bones away from Peters City.

A second after appearing over the island where the old Castle of Shadow was, he teleported again and appeared on the coast of Leopoldine.

Then, a huge white mushroom appeared in the direction of the Dark Sea, while massive winds and waves began to form in the opposite direction of the explosion.

"Shit!" Lothur groaned at the sight, feeling the power of the explosion that could hurt even someone at his level.

"I can\'t fuse Soul Bones!" He concluded, regretting that he had lost two bones only to discover that the power of one Soul Bone could not transform other Soul Bones.
