Mixed Blessing System

The moment the three men in black entered his target's room, Lothur immediately saw their statuses, each at level 5.

'Who are these?' He wondered as he watched through the kitchen wall of that estate, just one door away from those people.

But then, as he watched, Lothur heard the voice of one of those people. "Boss, are you sure this will work? How are we going to associate the fate of this brat with the second Miss Frost?"

"Idiot, that girl attacked him in public!" Their leader said, not caring if the young student of the Morning Star Academy would listen to them. "If this brat dies, naturally, she will be the first suspect!"

"And with us spreading some clues here and near the Frost estate later, our leader will get enough evidence to act against that family!"

"Oh? That sounds promising!"

"Hmmm, but it's a pity that only the second Miss Frost will be harmed... I hear her talent is less than her father's." The third one commented, grinning from beneath his mask.

Having heard all this while unable to move, that young man beaten by Annaliese was trembling with fear. "Who are you, people? Do you know who I am?" He asked in a tone that mixed his terror and a bit of arrogance.

"Tsk!"

"Brat, sit still and die peacefully. We'll make it painless..." The three surrounded that young man, each of them with a different weapon in their hands.

"No! Please don't do that!" He pissed himself, terrified. "I'm against the Frost family too. I even helped to plot against their son-in-law twice in the last few months!"

"Look what happened to me! That is his fault!" He looked at each of them, trying to find someone to listen to his words. "We are on the same side! There is no need for us to kill each other!"

"Kill each other? Brat, you are the only one who will die!" Their leader said before getting serious and trying to ease the fears of his target. "I know it's not fair, but rest assured. Your death will help us harm the Frost family, a millennial power! Be proud of yourself for that!"

"Hmm, we will remember your sacrifice, boy..." The other two agreed while laughing under their masks.

"No!"

But just as that young man was about to be attacked, already with his underwear smeared with something, Lothur appeared at the door of that room, from an angle that the window there gave no view of him.

Immediately upon realizing the arrival of this person, the three members of the local guard and the terrified young man looked in Lothur's direction.

"You..." The man who had seen Lothur and Annaliese earlier frowned upon seeing this person.

But as he noticed the pentagram spinning on Lothur's forehead, he shivered in fear, sensing that something was wrong with this mortal.

"So, you were planning to act against Annaliese, huh? You were plotting against my woman!" Lothur felt his blood boil as the fingers of his hands gripped the air, letting a red mist spread to the surroundings.

"Worms, I will make every one of you pay with your lives for this!" He said in an icy tone that made the backs of those four shivers.

Gulp!

"Lothur... I have nothing to do with them! I am your fellow academy student! Save me!" The young man appealed to his old enemy, his only salvation in this place.

"Tsk!"

"You are the one who most deserves to die! Because of you, my Elke was injured." Lothur looked coldly at that person but then laughed as he remembered how such an individual had stopped him earlier. "You want to know what happened to Elise, right? Then let me show you how I killed her!"

After saying those words, Lothur saw the first of those men being touched by the red energy coming out of his fingers. In that instant, such a person was consumed, losing every fraction of power in his body while leaving behind a dried corpse.

"Behold! That is the fate of each of you, worms!" He said, seeing how those people looked oppressed in his presence.

Lothur's bloodline was exceptional and not only consumed his targets' strength, turning it into pure life energy. It also had a suppressive component that temporarily weakened opponents with powers not so different from his.

Because of this, Elise had not been able to escape it before, and these people had no escape from this place!

The guards' leader who had invaded this house then said in a terrified tone. "Brat, we are members of the local guard! If you kill us, no one can save you! Even your family will be implicated!"

"Oh? Threatening me, huh? I'll tell you something. After people who threaten or covet my women, the ones I hate the most are those who threaten me!" He said, as his eyes and marks on his face shone brightly.

"If you have the power to do something, do it now! Otherwise, shut up!"

Lothur then looked into his academy colleague's eyes and laughed. "Don't be too sad. You'll get a death just like hers, bastard!"

"No!"

As he saw tears dripping from that youth's eyes, Lothur did not stop 'pressing' on that fellow's wound. "And don't forget, she died because of you. She could still be alive if you hadn't plotted against me!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

The three individuals vigorously shook as they tried to shout for help, but the entire room was filled with a red cloud of energy in the blink of an eye.

Because of this, within moments, the voices and sounds of terror leaving the throats of the three ceased, leaving only the sounds of their bones and joints reverberating as they fell to the floor, malnourished, dry, dead.

Noticing this, Lothur soon deactivated his bloodline and saw the system warning.

[EVF: 41.2]

'Oh? Apparently, the EVF absorbed depends on the average value of my targets' physical attributes...' Lothur noticed this as he realized that the sum of the averages of the physical attributes of his four targets was precisely 41.

'If I convert this into attribute points for myself, will I receive 41.2 points?'

But since Lothur did not believe in free lunches, he had no expectations about that. His ability to steal his opponents' power and add it to his own was already good enough, so whatever the conversion rate was would be good enough for him.

But for now, he did not want to use these EVFs on himself since he had Elke's case to solve.

He had a lot of matters to deal with, and he was not an assassin who could worry about just killing people. And as much as he had many enemies, he did not have the power to take on most of them.

Thus, not knowing when he could absorb more EVFs, he decided to save the ones he already had in case his woman needed them!

So, while putting that aside, Lothur quickly collected the bodies of those people, checking their spatial rings and items that might have trackers on them.

With that done, he quietly departed from there, not touching anything, using his visual ability to follow the best escape route!

"Sigh..."

'Time to infiltrate the Becker estate!'
