Dual Cultivation: Beasts and Women!

Lazarus was slumped against a rock, convulsing, with several purple marks all over his body and blood oozing from a large wound in his abdomen.

Only Robert remained of the Leopards' men who had come this way.

In contrast, only two members of the Crimson Rebels remained nearby to tell the tale. Myles and a 2-Star Spirit Earth cultivator were facing off against Robert, using their Spirits to pressure their lone opponent.

The other members of their faction who had come to the area were all dead on the outskirts, each in their own terrible situation, some less injured, others more deformed, their faces destroyed in ways that would inspire the creativity of the onlookers.

Liam and his companions didn't hesitate when faced with this situation. They sent the five Spirits they had on their side toward the enemy Spirits or Spirit Masters.

The weaker Spirits in the group acted from a distance to make room for Robert to retreat to their side, while the stronger ones, such as Thal'Korr, went in search of the most powerful in the area.

Liam had nothing else in mind but the two remaining demons. With a specific command, he made Thal'Korr join the Spirits' fight and facilitate his action.

Robert felt his companions join him and saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Frankly, he wasn't optimistic. He already had some injuries on his body, and only one of his Spirits was fighting to defend him. If it wasn't for his Third Class items, he would be dead already.

But when Liam and the others showed up, he saw his chances of survival increase.

Myles also noticed the enemies, spotting Liam approaching the fight while the other members of the Leopards stayed further back, commanding their Spirits from afar.

"Liam!" the man shouted like an animal, seeing for the first time the man responsible for his brother's death from such a short distance and in a place so conducive to revenge.

Liam ignored the man and continued to focus on reaching the demonic Spirit that was now only 5 meters away from him.

The creature turned its attention to Liam and attempted to attack him, apparently unaware of its enemy's capabilities.

The master of this Spirit stood next to Myles, thinking of using his demon to wound his boss's mortal enemy, giving Myles the chance to execute this opponent.

But just when he thought he'd made things easier for his boss, the man shook from head to toe as he felt Liam not only dodge his demon's attack, but pin the creature's arms with his bare hands.

"What's he going to do?" the man asked before swallowing his own saliva in horror.

While Liam dealt with the weaker of the two demons, giving his allies a chance to entertain Myles and the man's Spirits, he used {Black Art} again, looking forward to the qualitative progression of his Spirits.

Myles tried to reach him by jumping towards him, but before the Crimson Rebel leader could reach him, the Leopards' Spirits got in the way, giving Liam the time he needed to get what he wanted.

Boom!

Another demon exploded from Liam's hands that night, and mana once again flowed through Thal'Korr's body, giving him the strength to pressure his opponents even more.

Thal'Korr would have to progress a bit more to reach the qualitative pinnacle needed to evolve to the Sage grade. But at that moment, Liam felt the demon incubus within his soul space change, with mana enveloping the creature and physical transformations appearing.

He also absorbed much of the surrounding mana in that area into his body and soul, and felt physical and spiritual improvements in himself that were related to the strengthening of the incubus.

Liam felt the progress of the incubus to the Low-level of the Sage grade and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

'With the progress of the incubus, all I have to do is pass Thal'Korr and I'll complete the second phase of the Secret Hunt mission!'

He thought to himself as his appearance improved, along with his regeneration factor and seduction attributes.

By the end of his current evolution, he would be able to seduce much more easily, and even without using his mana to do so, he would be able to attract women even slightly stronger than himself!

Unfortunately, the practicality of his incubus powers was not great in terms of combat. Still, Liam could feel his senses improving and the mana he had used up a few moments ago recovering, gradually filling his soul to a higher level.

He wouldn't level up in this situation, but his cultivation would improve by 15% in one go, revealing his true cultivation to those around him for the first time.

Myles frowned as he noticed Liam's 3-Star Spirit Earth Realm cultivation. Meanwhile, his ally felt a blow through his back, a spear piercing his back and chest, hitting him just after he was seriously weakened.

Myles took three steps backwards as he realized his deteriorating situation, and the thought of fleeing crossed his mind.

"Now that you've done what you've done, are you going to run?" Robert asked as he stood in the enemy's path. "I'm afraid that's not possible."

Robert was also an ambitious member of Demon Gate. With the fall of Enos and Eleanor, and the likely fall of Myles, he would rise to number 3 in the rank without having to fight in the Arena. His benefits would be greatly increased and he would be one step closer to becoming an inner member of the sect, his current goal.

Seeing the chance to eliminate this tricky enemy, he smiled mischievously as he led his group against Myles, knowing that Liam would act against the enemy's demon and make the situation easier for them, even if the enemy was still stronger than them.

And that's exactly what happened in the next few moments. With Thal'Korr's help, Liam surrounded the demon of his last living enemy, while the Leopard's men surrounded Myles, using their Spirits against him and even daring to attack.

With the death of the 2-Star Spirit Earth cultivator, they fought Myles for about a minute, and some of them were injured and lost their Spirits. But when only Robert and Myles were left to fight, and the others were removed from the battle, Liam finally got what he wanted.

"Shit!" Myles shouted as he looked in Liam's direction with red eyes, while his color paled severely.

At that moment, he wasn't afraid to die; he was ashamed. Aware of what was about to happen, he was disappointed in himself for not being able to avenge the death of his brother and the woman he had loved.

"You're going to die, Myles!" Robert was the one who viciously attacked the remaining enemy, with none of his Spirits on his side, while his companions watched the end of the battle.

Robert's weapon pierced Myles' neck, keeping the exhausted and badly wounded Spirit Master on his feet.

But amid his last moments in this world, Myles suddenly smiled as he saw something he enjoyed approaching.

He opened his mouth to speak, but could not get his words out.

'Pity,'

he thought as his eyes darkened, but he was content with the fate he had just witnessed.

Robert laughed at his enemy's death and held him upright for a few seconds, enjoying the taste of victory.

After resting from this fight, it would be time for him to hunt down the Silver-Winged Leopard and get his third Spirit. When he got it later, he would be in the best position since he joined the sect!

"Boss!"

But while he was thinking about his future, one of the wounded people nearby, waiting for the effects of his potions to wear off, suddenly shouted at him in panic.

Turning in the direction from which he had been called, Robert was confronted with the problem they had just encountered.
