Mixed Blessing System



A few more hours passed, and it was already evening in Peters City.

At the end of the day, practically the entire city had already gotten used to the idea that, as of today, two local families would no longer exist, and another one would probably lose its position.

At the same time, only those associated with Lothur Ritter would have a chance to prosper locally since practically all the remaining families in this province were allied with or favorable to him.

But even though they were already getting used to this new reality, discussions regarding today's events were still happening in the city, especially in the square where the population had been following the Secret Realm.

After more than a whole day of Secret Realm, the first death had taken place, and the event's ranking had changed a few times.

Some of the youngsters had increased levels in the period, while Lothur continued the 'meaningless' killing from before.

As the event developed, more people became interested in standing around the plaza before the Morning Star Academy, discussing this event and the local happenings.

Among the people hanging around nearby were the two level 17 Transcendents, waiting for Lothur's return to arrest him.

"When the bastard returns, I will make it a point to beat him until he loses consciousness!" The man said, clenching his fists in anger, for they could not act against the local powers for today's events.

The two favored the Third Prince, and their faction had lost badly with today's events.

As such, they were angry and wanted to hurt Lothur in any way they could.

Since they could not act against these families since they were not there on the emperor's orders, they would do so against Lothur once they took his freedom!

"Yes, we will do that." The woman said, in agreement with her companion. "But let's not get careless. Lothur will probably get stronger if he doesn't die in the Secret Realm.

So let's neutralize him before then and put the sealing formations on his body without letting him escape or surprise us."

"Oh? Do you think that will be necessary?"

"I don't know. But it's good to be safe." She said. "Lothur is a little box of surprises and has already irritated His Highness enough.

It would be best if we secured his downfall before anything else."

"Hmm, that makes sense." The man put in, putting his anger aside so as not to underestimate Lothur.

He then picked up a formation on his spatial ring and asked. "Then we can use that. That way, we will guarantee his imprisonment even if he becomes stronger than us."

The woman didn't like hearing the 'becomes stronger than us' part. Still, seeing that formation capable of seizing even level 18 cultivators, she accepted that man's suggestion.

'That way, we will ensure he is arrested!'

...

Meanwhile, at the imperial guard detention in Peters City...

In this instant, Rebecca was being held in one of the cells in that place, where there was no one but her at the moment.

It was not common for prisoners to be kept for a long time in places like this. Either they were sent to an empire prison or released after a few days in places like this.

As such, she was lying on one of the beds there without having to bother with other people, waiting for what would happen next while thinking about Lothur.

But just as she was staring at the ceiling with the figure of that silver-haired man in her mind, the guards of this post came to her cell and started to open it.

"Rebecca Böttger, you have been found guilty of the downfall of the Vogel family and sentenced to 500 years imprisonment in the Imperial Prison for your evil deeds on this day.

This order takes effect immediately, so you will be sent to your new home!" The commander of this post read Rebecca's sentence, causing this woman to stand up and look at him with a pale expression.

The Imperial Prison was the place where only Transcendents were sent. So her being directed to such a place was a horrible sign!

"No! That's not fair!" She shouted, feeling wronged. "Normally, someone in my position wouldn't have to suffer such punishment!"

"True." That stronger man over there laughed. "But you refused to reveal your accomplices in the Vogel family attacks and how the other two local noble families were attacked. So the jury found you guilty of all the empire's losses this morning.

But we can lessen your sentences if you agree to talk." He suggested once again.

It was useless to try to torture this woman. The poison produced by her body was so strong that if 2nd stage people tried to cut her skin, electrocute her, or injure her internal organs, the poison would come out of her body and poison those in the surrounding area.

That was how terrible the Ancient Poison Body was!

That's why these people couldn't torture Rebecca to get the information they wanted to harm Lothur's allied families!

Rebecca would not give up her mistress and all of Lothur's allies. So she clasped her hands together, feeling herself in this terrible situation of suffering the consequences of everything that had happened today.

'I can only hope that Lothur keeps getting stronger and gets enough influence to rescue me before it's too late...' She thought, holding on to this young man, who had proven himself capable of many things, giving her one last hope.

So, she soon refused once again to talk about it, annoying the guards nearby, who soon put her into a carriage to send her to the Imperial Prison, which was in the southwest of Leopoldine, near the border with Asken.

As she settled into that carriage, she heard the last warning from those men. "Are you sure you won't talk? Otherwise, we will send you now, and in less than two weeks, you will be in the Imperial Prison.

You won't be able to escape from there or escape dying there..."

"Fuck you!" She cursed him, prevented from spitting in that man's face because of the formation around her mouth, which merely allowed her to speak, drink and eat.

That man smiled hatefully and said. "Well, good luck. You'll need it!"

"I'll tell you the same. Once Lothur leaves the Secret Realm, you will be the first one he will look for."

That man was not bothered by this, knowing that Lothur would be keeping this woman company in the Imperial Prison before long.

"Haha, your hopes are on him? I hope you won't be disappointed..."

With that, the carriage with Rebecca departed Peters City in the dead of night without the local powers knowing what had happened.

Everyone thought she would have more time in Peters City, so no one moved in time to try to stop it from happening!

...

Meanwhile, inside the Secret Realm...

At this moment, Lothur had just finished resting after overcoming the second level of the maze and was walking toward the entrance to the third.

As he did so, he immediately saw that only two others were on the way to the end of this underground area after the third level.

'So I only need to get through three more mazes, huh?' He looked down in anticipation before running towards the first monsters in his path.
