Mixed Blessing System

When some girls screamed in the vicinity of this combat platform, blood gushed out along with Oliver's brains, hitting Lothur's clothes and the surroundings.

At the same time, this person's agonized arms and legs lost their energy, slowly relaxing along with the death of this member of the Dohmen family.

Realizing that he had successfully destroyed his opponent, Lothur pulled his hands back a little from the bloody mixture, seeing the brains of his target in his hands.

But not only was he looking at this, hundreds of people there were open-mouthed, seeing how this battle had developed to a point unexpected by everyone.

Many people there already expected Lothur to win, but nobody but Amelie, Lina, and Annaliese thought about the possibility that Oliver would also lose his life in this battle!

That was only competition for tailors, and not even spiritual techniques could be used, so the risks of death there were small. But, on the other hand, it was not easy to kill a level 9 person like Oliver by using one's hands to crush a head!

After thinking about it, many were even more shocked by how Lothur had finished his opponent, incredulous at his physical strength and the gloves' ability.

Even Lina, Amelie, and Annaliese were looking at Lothur's hands in surprise, as none of them expected him to kill Oliver like that.

"How can that be?"

"Did he just crush Oliver's head with his bare hands?"

"I'm not dreaming?"

"Unbelievable!"

"What a wild boy! How can someone so barbaric participate in a competition for mere tailors? That's like putting a lion among chickens!" Someone said, offending all the competitors in the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, the Dohmen family members were pale, with their hearts beating strangely and hands shaking.

Oliver was their hope not only for this competition but to regain the family's position in the future.

However, he was murdered right before them when one of them even asked for the match to end.

Thinking about it, the match referee was at a loss as to what to do in this situation, while he was also incredulous at the point this match had reached. His team had helped the Dohmen family to place Oliver as Lothur's opponent, but it was that organization's problem if their competitor was weak.

On the other hand, he had heard about the withdrawal of that family, but he did not even have time to think about it properly as Oliver's brains splattered all over that combat platform.

'What do I do now?' He wondered as he saw Lothur rising from his place in victory.

"Well, that's my victory. You can announce the result now, match referee. My opponent will not stand up..." Lothur said aloud as he stretched his body in front of Oliver's body.

"No!" A shout came from the middle of the Dohmen family group. "That wretch murdered our participant. Match referee, I demand justice!"

"Yes! We all saw how that demon mercilessly killed young Oliver when we had already given up the match!"

When those people least expected it, Amelie said aloud. "Nonsense! Lothur was in the middle of his match, and the referee did nothing to stop him. So it's natural that he didn't commit any infraction."

"That's right!" Lina nodded in agreement. "It was participant Oliver's choice not to give up the fight while he had the chance. As for his death, he can only blame himself for not being good enough by facing the wrong opponent!"

Hearing those two women on Lothur's side, the Dohmen family members made ugly expressions, understanding their lines' reasons.

'Wretched Christen family!'

'So you are after this!' The oldest of that group clenched his teeth against each other, feeling hatred for this organization plotting against them.

The match referee realized that Amelie and Lina were right. So as not to risk his own position, he declared Lothur's victory!

"Contestant Lothur Ritter has killed his opponent, so he wins this match and goes on to the second day of trials of the tailoring competition."

"Wow!"

"That was the first match of the tournament where someone died!"

"Hmmm."

"Deaths in the Province Conference are not common, so we can be considered quite fortunate to have watched such a match!"

"Even more so considering the way Lothur killed that fellow..."

The people who did not care about the power struggles in the province and were there just for fun exclaimed in satisfaction, starting the discussions that would dispel the previous silence in that area.

Meanwhile, another point was added for the Frost family, with that family finally moving back up in the ranking!

[... 11th Frost Family: 22...]

With that, Lothur came down from that platform and went to Annaliese's side, along with Amelie and Lina following him.

At the same time, the match referee stood in the middle of the combat platform while people from the Dohmen family and coliseum officials began removing Oliver's body for the area to be cleaned up.

"All competitors here, pay attention." He said aloud. "Deaths can happen in matches, so if you are not confident or feel that your opponent may kill you, quit your matches while you can."

"There's not much we referees can do about situations like that." He said to rid himself of any blame people there tried to throw on his shoulders.

And with that warning, many young competitors looked in Lothur's direction with terrified eyes, fearful of eventually facing this monster.

'Why do we have to compete with someone like that?'

'Damn it!'

'This guy is a lunatic! What kind of person kills someone like that?' One young man thought about it in silence, while several others doubted Lothur's perfect appearance, noting that he had a terrible bloodlust with him.

"Ah, but he's so handsome... How can he be a bad person?" Some more superficial young women wondered similar things as they saw Lothur and those three women departing the area.

Along with them, the enemies of Lothur and House Frost, who were there to follow his final match in this competition, left the area with terrible expressions.

From the Frost family's current position, this organization would benefit rather than lose in this Province Conference. But, at the same time, Lothur had shown how wild he could be!

So many of them were feeling particularly bad at the moment.

Because of this, it would not be long before the news regarding Oliver's horrible death would spread throughout the coliseum, increasing Lothur's prestige and making his opponents tremble with rage.

Meanwhile, he quickly cleaned himself up and changed clothes before heading alongside Annaliese to where they could meet Viktoria.

It would be time for the traditional battles to begin in a few hours, so since they would both be fighting, they were in a hurry to eat and say goodbye to each other.

It was time for the most critical part of the day to start!
