Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 845 Beginning of the Resistance

Minutes after escaping from where they had been held hostage by demons for weeks, the women of Lothur, accompanied by Blood, Smoke, and the beings who had been there, finally stopped in a relatively safe place.

Arriving in the forested area of the Three Great Lakes Region where the two cats had taken them, the group immediately showed different reactions as they looked around.

Some were extremely happy; after centuries, they had returned to the surface, free to do as they pleased.

The feeling of freedom was great!

Not only that, but they had spent a long time being restricted by demonic formations that blocked their natural instincts, soul powers, and so on. It was no easy thing to endure, and some were tormented by being unable to cultivate for decades or even centuries.

Of course, when they were released, some felt happy, or at least relieved, because they could return to cultivation, see their friends, and eliminate the threat of being devoured by the Demon Emperor.

But others were not in a good mood. They also felt relieved, but knowing that the Demon Emperor was returning to the world, they couldn't help but feel afraid.

"We don't have much time. We must prepare our coalition." The white-furred horse with the shining horn on its head, a unicorn, roared to the entire group.

"We must quickly gather powerful allied forces and tell them of the Demon Emperor's return." The level 24 Cerberus said, agreeing with his old war friend.

Looking at the women of Lothur and the two cats near them, a human from the group said. "You four must guide us. You must know the continental leaders, right? We need you to take us to them so we can start moving."

Looking at Annaliese, the unicorn who had shared a cell with her for weeks said. "Now that the Demon Emperor is returning, there won't be much time for the continent. In a few weeks or months at the most, wars will break out all over Concordia. We must act quickly, or this time, the entire continent will perish in the face of the enemy."

Hearing this, Viktoria touched one of Annaliese's shoulders and answered on her younger sister's behalf. "I have good and bad news to tell you.

The bad news is that we don't know many of the continent's leaders, and most of them see us as enemies. So even if we were to lead you, we wouldn't be of much help at first.

The good news is that we will join the continent's defense and have some Platinum-grade Soul Bones with us. Of the ones we have, only two are compatible with us, and we intend to send only one or two of them to our supporters. I intend to distribute the majority to demon hunters willing to join us and kill those wretches!"

Viktoria could give all eight of the remaining bones that would be left over after she and Anna absorbed theirs to the people of the Ritter family. But why wouldn't she? Because there were few people in Lothur's family, or even allied with him, who could actively participate in defending the continent against demons.

Killing demons took more than just strength. One had to have unique techniques, special affinities, and much more.

If a war broke out, everyone would fight against the demons. But those who could give this world a chance of victory against the demons were the strongest on the continent, especially the demon hunters.

Aware of it, Viktoria was willing to give some of the bones that Blood and Smoke had brought for her to former enemies, believing it was the best decision she could make.

'This way, we'll have a better chance to avenge Lothur's death!' She thought as she clenched her fists, not needing to explain it to her harem sisters as they easily understood her decision.

"Oh? Do you have Soul Bones?" The level 24 man asked with interest. 

He currently had 9 Soul Bones. If he had the chance to get the 10th, his power could increase significantly!

"Yes, we have 8 bones that are incompatible with us," Viktoria commented while Blood and Smoke looked at the man from the shoulders of the two Frost sisters.

"Do you have a skull bone? It's the only thing I lack. I'm willing to absorb any Platinum-grade skull bone, even if it doesn't have the ability most compatible with me." This man said without showing any greed.

He wanted to become stronger, but his fear of demons drove him to make that request.

As someone who had been held hostage by these creatures and almost become demon food, he had a deep hatred for them but also fear.

Viktoria didn't hide the truth. "I have it. But I have one condition to give you the bone."

"What condition? I agree to anything!" The man said as he took a step forward while the others looked on. 

"You must help us avenge the death of our companion. No matter how dangerous it is, you'll have to help us hunt down each of the demons involved." 

If he absorbed a new Soul Bone, he would immediately reach level 25 and have a complete Spirit Body. 

Even the Demon Emperor wouldn't be able to kill him easily if he achieved such a feat!

However, those who had dealt with her companion were not such beings but subordinates of the Demon Emperor.

"Alright, I agree." He said with a confident expression.

"Okay. I'll give you your Soul Bone after we sign a blood contract." Viktoria spoke before adding. "In the meantime, I advise the group to recover from what we've been through before we look for allies.

My sister and I will also absorb Soul Bones, while this senior will do the same. So get ready to leave this place in an hour or two."

Everyone there agreed, knowing that they couldn't search for allies as they were.

Everyone who had escaped from demonic captivity was wounded, exhausted, and even malnourished.

Since they were Sages, they could recover quickly. Still, they would have to stay there for an hour or two, so they all followed Viktoria's suggestion, knowing it was necessary and unavoidable.

They were in a hurry to resolve the situation of the alliance against the demons. However, they wouldn't leave until they were in top condition.

Soon, this level 24 human would sign a blood contract with Viktoria before she gave him the skull bone and then took her own and her sister's bone from the ring Lothur had sent her.

"Blood and Smoke, secure the area while we make our preparations." She told them almost everyone in their group was already meditating, eating food, medicine, recovery pills, etc.

As soon as the two cats were in position, Viktoria began to absorb her 8th Soul Bone!
