Mixed Blessing System



"Mother?" Lothur opened his mouth in shock, not expecting to find the mother of his predecessor now. 'That woman is my mother? But wait a moment. She's a demon. How can that be?'

But then he remembered the conversation he had had with Viktoria months ago when he first heard of the creatures hated by everyone in this world.

'Is this body a hybrid of demon and human?' He swallowed his saliva, understanding his situation even before those demons explained the problem.

'It's not for nothing that my bloodline can steal the powers of others! This is actually that devouring ability that they say these beings can use against demons, humans, and beings of all kinds!'

His eyes narrowed a little, and he thought about the system. 'But the system can't be because of my origin... And it probably changed the way my powers work.

Hmm, what is the purpose of the system other than what it says? I don't believe my body's situation is a coincidence.'

But amidst Lothur's thoughts, Fabienne landed beside him and Ice as this white-furred creature tried to understand the situation.

"My son, you must flee immediately. The Seraphim Church will hunt you down now that you have awakened your powers." She said as she saw her son again, this time being able to approach and hug him.

Lothur let that woman hug him, with some doubts in his mind. But he did not become emotional just because she was the mother of this body he was using.

"Seraphim Church? Will they come after me because I get my soul power back?" He asked.

"Exactly. Your father and I put several seals on your body so you wouldn't show yourself to the world and have a normal life. But unfortunately, things got out of the way, and now extremely powerful people will come after you." She said after releasing Lothur's body.

The creators of hybrids like Lothur were highly emotional about them to the point of even sacrificing themselves for them.

A father or mother of a demon-human hybrid and the close followers of these beings would never be able to raise their hands against these dreadful creatures.

This was what made them so terrible, as it often allowed these beings to develop quickly at their weakest moment.

So these demons would not raise their weapons against Lothur and be willing to risk being persecuted by the Seraphim Church just to try to help him!

'So that was what was preventing me from cultivating my soul...' Lothur understood this relevant point about himself.

"In any case, you must run away, my son." Fabienne grew more serious. "Go south to the farthest point of Asken. You will eventually find a tribe of demons who owe me favors. They helped you get to Demon Island, the home of the demons.

You will be safe there!"

"Demon Island?" Lothur had never heard of such a place, but he knew demons would also hunt hybrids like him. "Wouldn't that be more dangerous?"

"No, as long as you don't show your bloodline skills, the demons will think you are a high-ranking demon, Emperor, like me. You will be protected as long as you look like me." Fabienne advised. "But you should avoid cultivators at the 4th stage. They will be able to realize what you are if they probe you deeper. So be cautious and discreet.

It would also be interesting if, on the way there, you raise your power to the 4th stage. That could create a defensive barrier over your aura and really hide you from Saints."

Lothur understood her advice, keeping it in his heart. "And where is this island? For that matter, how would the members of the Church find me if I don't go to that place?"

"Demon Island is in the South Sea, at the south pole of our world. That is a tough place to get to, where the few humans who have ever gone have died and have not had the opportunity to return.

That's where the main demonic base is, not in northern Concordia, as many think." She gave this crucial information to him. "The strongest demons live there. At least, that's how it is while their plans don't succeed."

"Plans?"

"We don't have time for that." She said before answering Lothur's other question. "The Seraphim Church members will not stop searching for you until they find and kill you. Not only are you an abomination that threatens everyone, but you are also the only one who can generate a Diamond-grade Soul Bone.

Someone like me can only create a Platinum-grade Soul Bone, so demon hunters will hunt you with much more voracity than me.

And for them, it will be effortless. Unlike me, who can contain my demonic aura even using my abilities, you can't do that when you devour the powers of your prey.

When you do this without proper safeguards, they will sense your direction and direct their investigations of your whereabouts closer to you!"

Lothur had a shocked expression on his face, not expecting that he could generate a Soul Bone of such quality. But upon hearing that danger would surround him only when he activated his bloodline, he felt that his life was not as much in danger as that woman was saying.

At the same time, he remembered the information he had about the Imperial Prison, something he had learned from the Koch family documents.

'As far as I know, the Imperial Prison is covered by Gold-grade formations, capable of blocking Saints' senses.' He pondered, not knowing if it would even be advisable for him to flee to Demon Island, where powerful, hard-to-kill enemies would surround him without him being able to use his bloodline.

'If I use my bloodline inside that place, I believe no one can track me through it. And many powerful prisoners will be there to give me their powers.' He considered, feeling it was worth the risk and seeing if his thoughts were correct.

He now had soul power, so he could already be considered a 2-star formations master. Confident in his abilities and the resources he had picked up from the Formations Masters Guild over the past few months, he was confident that he could check this out without taking any chances if he were in that place.

He then said to his mother and the demons in the surrounding area. "No, I don't think I will live long following that plan. On this island, I can be surrounded by enemies wishing my death if they recognize what I am. Plus, I have a plan that I want to test before that."

"Oh? What plan?" Fabienne asked.
