Mixed Blessing System



At the end of the battle around Viktoria and Larissa, Lothur saw these two cultivating to recover, then looked at the result of their short struggle.

Around that underground chamber, several bodies of mutilated beasts were piled up here and there, especially at the entrance to this chamber, where those knocked down by Viktoria and Larissa were.

But most of them had died when Lothur and his slaves arrived, so there were beasts' bodies, pieces of limbs, and blood all over that dark area.

Other than that, Lothur could feel demonic energy flowing in a statue, something he immediately associated with the items Viktoria and Larissa had with them.

'That is...' His eyes narrowed, noticing that those items were somehow related to the demons that inhabited such an area in the remote past.

'Hmm, that's probably some kind of crystal capable of nurturing demons. I can feel something hiding in that statue, where those two things should be.' He saw where Viktoria and Larissa had taken those items from and focused on that statue, which had a strikingly negative spiritual fluctuation, like the demon he had killed.

Thinking about this, Lothur frowned and activated his bloodline ability as he brought his hand close to what should be the neck of that statue.

The red mist spread out from his hand, and red tattoos appeared around his eyes and forehead.

When Lothur touched the neck of this statue, he immediately felt something strange, similar to a spectre but different from these beings he had dominion over.

This was a much more vivid sensation, which contained much more understanding than a normal spectre could have.

So Lothur immediately associated that with his knowledge and identified the spiritual remnant of a powerful demon!

'Is that what those beasts said they are afraid of?' He frowned, feeling that this was really scary.

He would fear it if he didn't have many skills and characteristics that protected his life from that kind of being!

Fortunately for him, he was different, and as he touched that statue, Lothur felt the desperation of that remnant as he absorbed the understanding and cultivation affinities of it.

'I don't know who you were, but you will help me pave my way, demon!' He said in his mind as a smile formed on his face.

In the midst of this, the system showed him some relevant messages!

[Special form of dark energy detected...]

[Host's secondary ability got in sync with his bloodline...]

Mortal Aura!

At that moment, the demon remnant trembled in fear as it felt its negative Natural Laws being quickly absorbed by Lothur!

[PER: 244.1 -> 269.9]

Lothur saw many of his features improving, slowly feeling that being within the statue in front of him had vanished from the world, just as the demon of some time ago had.

He had annihilated that ancient creature!

Realizing this and that there were others in this underground area, Lothur could not help but regret it, for he would not have time to check each of these areas and absorb something vital to him.

Anyway, when he finished destroying that remnant, he turned his attention to placing it around Viktoria's neck.

After watching her intently for a minute, Viktoria opened her eyes, feeling a little better after absorbing a fraction of the spiritual energy in the surroundings.

Her brief cultivation wasn't enough to restore her energy reserves. But she had managed enough to get out of her exhausted state of moments ago.

Larissa also got similar results and opened her eyes almost simultaneously as Viktoria.

"Thank you for saving us, Lothur." She said while Viktoria was already hugging her husband, feeling the body heat of this man.

"Haha, no need to thank me. I came here because I need something that is with Viktoria... It was just a coincidence everything that just happened."

"Good then..." That brown-haired woman said to her husband, grateful for that coincidence. "Anyway, what do you want?"

"That necklace on your neck." Lothur briefly explained his interest. "I have secured a deal with a Divine Soul Transcendent Beast for something I believe will help me immensely. To complete that, I need that leaf on your necklace, Viktoria."

"Oh? You need that?" She was surprised, for although she had that item with her daily, as a prize she had received in her family's treasury years ago, neither she nor anyone else knew its importance.

She and the rest of her family knew that it was valuable to their ancestors. But they had no idea of the usefulness of such a thing other than as something decorative.

Hearing that her husband wanted it, she was curious but did not hesitate to give it to him.

Lothur had already done many things for her family, and anything he would do with it would probably bring her better results than keeping such a necklace.

So, upon receiving that item, he smiled and looked at the two. "What are you going to do now? I intend to settle my affairs with these beasts, something that I don't know how long it might take and where you cannot get valuable items or resources.

But I won't bother taking you if you want to accompany me."

Hearing that, Larissa was the first to respond. "I intend to absorb the contents of this crystal, so I don't intend to follow you."

Lothur nodded to her and looked at his wife.

Viktoria said. "I also intend to absorb the crystal I got, and I don't know how long it will take for that to happen. So I will stay behind, Lothur."

"OK. Then I will leave. If you want to stay here, feel free. All the beings on the way here are dead, so this area is pretty safe now."

"Hmm, thanks for that." The two said before Viktoria remembered Elke.

"But Lothur, before you go on with your plans, I think it would be interesting for you to find Elke and take her with you or leave her here. It will be better for everyone that way."

"Oh? I'll do that!" Immediately after that, he departed, looking for other humans in this area.
