Chapter 850 Negotiations Before the Meeting

It had been a few days since Elke's group arrived in the Ancestral Region in search of allies.

At first, things hadn't worked out for her and her group. Some of them had a recent history of enmity, while many still doubted the return of the Demon Emperor.

It would be very complicated to bring that creature back to life, and even if he were brought back, the demons would need time and "food" for him to recover after being imprisoned for so long.

However, as the days passed, the conversations progressed, and the news began to reach them, the conversations changed.

Some elders' rigid tone from before had changed to more concerned ones, and some of the continent's greatest experts began to consider 'what if they were right.'

That thought was frightening, and once again, the continent might be threatened with a perilous war for all living things there.

Just in case, that area beings decided to go deeper into their investigations and not take Elke's group away immediately.

While they were doing this, news of other groups like Elke's roaming the northern region of Concordia reached the Ancestral Region, and more and more experts were talking about it.

The more they talked about it, the more fear arose among the Sages of Concordia, which quickly grew to such a level that even before they had confirmation, the forces of the continent agreed to arrange a meeting to discuss the matter.

Eight days after Elke's group arrived in the Ancestral Region, powers from seven states and three major continental organizations agreed to meet in a forest in Rablus in five days.

The first meeting to discuss the formation of a coalition would take place in that place, which was the same distance from several of the main headquarters of the many high-level organizations!

...

In the Petha Empire...

Rebecca's group was still in this state, trying to gather powerful allies to join their alliance against the demons.

However, her group would be leaving for Rablus in the next few hours, the time limit they could stay in Petha Empire in order not to be late for the big meeting that was about to take place in Rablus.

While they were using their last moments in this territory, the group was trying to gain the support of the imperial family of this state, the Von Weber family.

Now, Rebecca was in the family's imperial palace, next to a level 24 beast and Blood, facing the former local empress whom Lothur had met months ago.

Jil Von Weber had succeeded in her attempt to advance to level 22 and, after becoming a Sage, had resigned from her position as leader of the empire to live in seclusion, as the elders of her family usually did.

However, as one of the Sages of the Von Weber family, who had been the head of the family and the state before becoming a Sage, she was one of the most influential among the 5th-stage cultivators in her family.

Even though she was one of the weakest, she was as influential as the level 24 warriors of her family, the strongest of that house.

"Elder Jil, please lend your family's strength to our coalition. Together, we can stop the Demon Emperor and end the demonic threat." The green-haired woman with the red-furred cat on her shoulder said as the former local leader listened to her words while sitting in a luxurious chair.

"Miss, why do you think I can help you with this? I'm only a low-level Sage. You'll have to find stronger people if you want support." Jil said to the beautiful and powerful woman in front of her.

Blood then said. "Jil Von Weber, my creator has met you. He told us you promised to help him one day if necessary."

"Are you saying that the hybrid called Lothur met me?" Jil asked with a strange expression, already knowing who Lothur was and how he had died. "Impossible. I wouldn't remember him if that were true."

Rebecca said. "Lothur was wearing a false appearance when he met you. But he has been with you. You two talked about the family of a soul fragment he had to fulfill a mission. Today, the descendants of that family are called Jansen."

"Jansen family?" Jil's eyes widened when she heard that, remembering the young man she had received in her imperial palace months ago and who had told her about that poor family.

'How is that possible? Are you telling me that he was that young man?' She was surprised because Lothur was not only much weaker then but also very calm and didn't show the bloodlust of hybrids.

"Are you serious?" She asked.

"That was Lothur, elder. When we and Cykad decided to fight alongside him against the demons, it wasn't because we were being controlled or choosing the least bad path. Lothur never showed any other intentions than a human concerned for his own family and existence. He never acted like a hybrid." Rebecca said, pointing out the continent's mistake in pursuing him.

'If it hadn't been for you, we would have had an easier time hunting demons, and maybe he would still be here with us.' Rebecca thought to herself, bitter about the whole situation.

Unfortunately, she had to ally herself with her enemies now, or else the whole continent and her revenge would be in danger!

Jil clenched her fists, believing that the hybrid they'd been hunting until a few weeks ago really wasn't that bad and could live in society.

After her experience with Lothur, she was sure he wasn't simple.

"So that's it..." She sighed, imagining what a shame it was for someone capable of growing up so quickly to end up like that. 'If he were still alive, dealing with the demons would be easy. Unfortunately, it's too late now.'

She decided what to do. "All right, I oddly believe you, Miss. I'll see what I can do with my family, but there are no guarantees. One of my elders will be attending that meeting in a few days, so that will be more important than my attempts."

"That will be enough, elder." Rebecca was thankful for the opportunity.

After Rebecca took care of Jil, it wouldn't be long before she and her group left for Rablus in the Petha Empire, and the days passed quickly.

On the eve of the great gathering of the continent's Sages, Viktoria would arrive in Rablus ahead of her harem sisters, finally getting the chance to make contact with the upper echelons of the Seraphim Church, old enemies of her family, but with whom they would now have to work together.

Since the worst had already happened, anyone with power willing to fight on the continent's side would be considered a great ally!
