'Sage-level demons...' Lothur noticed some trouble approaching his location.
However, he soon noticed that these creatures were not heading toward him but to a place close to where he was.
'These are level 22 and 23 demons. I can't just attack them, thinking I'll get their Soul Bones.' He thought to himself as he moved in the same direction as such creatures.
As he moved, Lothur suddenly felt something different, and his eyes twitched.
"Damn it!" He muttered as he noticed a terrible sensation coming from about 80 kilometers to the south. 'The damned hybrid is close, but these creatures are heading for it!'
Realizing the problem, Lothur immediately rushed forward.
...
Meanwhile, a group of 4 demons of levels 22 and 23 was on their way to the location of one of the hybrids they were chasing.
After several days of Lothur's advancement to the 5th level, the 5th stage beings of this world had worked hard to find and eliminate the hybrids.
But while Lothur could hide his tracks with relative ease, the same could not be said for the other hybrid weaker than him.
The group of demons had just located the other hybrid and were moving toward him at high speed, intent on killing and eliminating his entire existence, including his Soul Bone!
These demons had a slight advantage over the humans due to their alliance with the spectres. But there were Sage humans nearby, and if they delayed, a battle for the Soul Bone of such a creature would happen.
The demons were powerful, but even they would have trouble against the various experts nearby!
"Let's do this cleanly and quickly." The group leader, a creature with nearly 9,000 points of Soul attribute, said to his companions. "Once his Soul Bone is destroyed, we'll go back and look for the other hybrid's tracks."
Another demon commented. "But we cannot fail. We can only relax a little if one of the hybrids has their Soul Bone destroyed. We'll have too much trouble if one gets hold of the other's bone."
They all agreed, their spirits already high.
In a few moments, they would face this creature!
...
Meanwhile, in a cave near the border of Rablus and Cesha, a blue-haired, fair-skinned individual with a refined appearance and aesthetic shape was meditating in that dark area.
But he was not there by choice. Strangely enough, many high-level cultivators had appeared on the continent, and it was dangerous for him to move around.
As a demon-human hybrid, this Origin Saint faced many problems to keep strengthening himself!
He had even been forced to go into hiding again, something he hadn't done since he was a Spiritual Warrior.
With his freedom restricted, this human-looking and extremely attractive creature could not help but feel irritated.
'Damn it! Why is this happening to me?' He wondered. 'These damned humans seem much more aggressive and afraid of me than my parents told me,' he thought.
Unfortunately, he couldn't ask anyone for advice. When he turned 40 and reached the peak of the 3rd stage, he devoured his parents and all his followers to reach level 19.
Unlike Lothur, ordinary hybrids literally devoured the bodies of their victims. But after doing so, they had no immediate improvements. They had to sleep and meditate for some time equal to the amount of power they had ingested.
Thus, several decades older than Lothur, this creature was severely hampered by the actions of his fellow race mate, who had been causing him trouble.
He was stuck in his current situation with no one at his side to advise him or provide him with food.
However, as he stood in the cave with his eyes closed, this creature suddenly sensed something strange and opened his eyes.
Looking back, he saw a tall, handsome man dressed in black armor with stunning silver hair appear in his cave.
"I found you," Lothur said in a low voice as he looked at the creature for a moment.
Looking into Lothur's eyes, the hybrid immediately understood who this person was.
"You... You're like me!" He swallowed his saliva and immediately realized what this newcomer wanted with him.
"You've made good progress, creature. Now be nice and become my next Soul Bone!" Lothur used his Gravity skill, and the body of this other hybrid floated toward his hands.
"Shit!"
The hybrid promptly tried to use all his strength, causing Lothur to see him escape his gravity and appear a few meters away from him.
"Oh?" Lothur opened his eyes wide. 'What did he just do...'
Lothur was shocked. What this creature had done was not like a simple escape!
Realizing this, Lothur took his Darkness Scythe from his ring and tried something.
He moved through space and appeared behind the hybrid, not hesitating to use his weapon to split the creature's body in two.
But when he touched the creature's shoulder and sliced it in half diagonally, Lothur saw the creature reappear dozens of meters ahead of him, intact.
"What a fantastic ability!" Lothur said as he realized the power of this creature.
To the eyes of an ordinary person, it would appear that this creature had simply 'jumped' and escaped from Lothur.
But to Lothur's eyes, this creature had clearly reversed time to recover from that blow, then temporarily stopped time to run to his new position.
To ordinary people, it would simply appear in a new position after being attacked, as if it had used a life-saving device and escaped the worst at the last moment.
However, his true ability was time!
"Time! Your ability is perfect for me!" Lothur said, feeling twice as interested in killing this creature and absorbing his Soul Bone.
"Shit!" The hybrid shuddered in fear as he realized Lothur had easily understood his ability.
Never before had he encountered someone capable of understanding his special power so easily.
Knowing the origin of one's powers was the starting point for finding a way to counter such a being effectively!
After realizing his opponent's 'trick' and knowing that demons were nearby, Lothur did not hesitate to activate his own special ability.
Life Devourer!
Lothur circled energy through his bloodline ability and promptly spread his red aura over a distance more significant than the creature could travel by stopping time.
Unfortunately, for this hybrid, there was a limit to how much time it could stop time.
Unable to escape the space under the effect of Lothur's innate ability, he was soon trapped under the pressure of that ability, desperate as he felt something begin to suck at his being!
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"
