Mixed Blessing System

When the spheres thrown by Lothur came within just 2 meters of his surprised opponent, the two stopped spinning and exploded!

Boom!

The first created a highly bright beam of light, causing people from various parts of the coliseum stands to try to hide their eyes with their forearms.

That was particularly true for Lothur's opponent, the young man looking toward the spheres when they exploded.

He unconsciously closed his eyes at that moment while raising his arms toward his face.

His defensive shield was in his right hand, already activated, something he had done the moment Lothur had initiated his attack movement.

This young man was confident in his offensive formation, so he felt he could defeat his opponent by dealing with this sudden attack first and then attacking in a second moment.

Unfortunately for the Frohberg family's black-haired young man's plans, Lothur's second sphere exploded along with the first, hurling several fragments at him.

The first sphere contained a formation to distract the target. At the same time, the second sphere contained an explosive formation, which launched numerous nails from its interior in all directions.

Due to that young man's fright, thousands of tiny nails flew rapidly into his body as he tried to shield his eyes from the intense light produced by the first sphere.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The instant this happened, his defensive item could not contain all the nails, and some of them penetrated his skin hard.

As much as these nails were tiny, smaller than fingernails, such a thing did nothing to lessen the pain of being penetrated by several of these at once.

At the same time, as much as heavier projectiles were more destructive, in general, speed played an essential role in the power of such projectiles. Therefore, since those nails were launched at very high speeds, this young man from the Frohberg family suffered from Lothur's attack!

"Ahhhhhh! Bastard! You hit me!" He screamed in pain as he dropped his shield from earlier and fell with his butt on the ground, feeling his legs and arms punctured by those nails.

So many nails had hit him that his clothes were soon stained with blood, and he lost all sense of touch in his hands and feet.

Once in these circumstances, even if his formation could defeat Lothur, what could he do if he was not even capable of throwing such a thing?

Seeing this, Lothur sighed in relief and soon heard the announcement that he had won the match!

"In this match, the participant..."

"Disgrace!" The Frohberg patriarch slammed his hands on his seat, cursing Lothur in his mind, for that was the only candidate from that family competing in the finals.

Not only that, that black-haired young man still had three other matches to compete in today. So by being injured at that level by Lothur, this person's chances of gaining points for this family had just decreased significantly!

"Cruel brat! What's the need to attack so viciously?" He rose from his seat and shouted while Lothur ignored the many sounds that came to him.

Few people in the world had regenerative abilities as good as Lothur's. So those injuries would not resolve themselves quickly, not even if the black-haired young man drank potions, used pills, or did medical service.

Any option demanded that his body absorb substances and regenerate his injured tissues. But that took time, something that any competitor in this place did not have this day!

As such, the Frohberg patriarch could not help but feel bad to see how wrong his move had been!

Meanwhile, his daughter, Nora, that beautiful redhead that Lothur already knew, clenched her fists as she listened to her father.

She had already suffered a defeat to Annaliese during the tournament and had been eliminated in all her trials on the third day of the competition. So all this time, she had been watching Lothur's performance and that woman who should not have been so strong just a few weeks ago.

'Damn it!'

'I shouldn't have given up that Soul Bone!' She regretted it once more. 'If I had absorbed it instead of her, I would probably still be competing!'

She then looked in Annaliese's direction, full of hatred in her eyes.

But Annaliese did not even notice such a thing as she intently watched her brother-in-law coming up to her in the competitors' area.

Annaliese no longer had spiritual profession trials. However, since she would fight in group battles with Viktoria and Lothur, she could still use the competitors' area.

So she soon joined her brother-in-law and her sister, not taking long to start hearing how their coming to the coliseum earlier today had gone.

...

Sometime later, Lothur once again had to fight in the second round of the formations masters competition, this time against someone from the Klassen family.

The opponent in this match was not as different as the previous one, so Lothur managed to beat him by using a slightly different strategy than the one used earlier.

1-star professionals like him usually had limited repertoires. Even more so considering that all the individuals competing in this Province Conference were young, with only a few years of education.

So most competitors suffer from a lack of options when fighting their opponents. However, this was not a problem for Lothur. He was very creative and always used his knowledge of physics and chemistry from his previous life to produce his items.

Because of this, he had a much more diverse repertoire than his opponents and was able to surprise opponents even after days of demonstrating his capabilities.

With this, he had moved on to the semifinals of this formations masters competition!

However, it would not be long before he eliminated the Koch family formations master, hurting his former teacher's family a bit.

But Anneke did not care much about this result, being happy to see Lothur reaching the final, where it was now time for him to face the Waldauer family.

This opponent, unlike the others, was someone at level 11, one of the strongest Lothur had ever seen in this competition.

Aside from Viktoria, no one else was at level 12, so the strongest was at the 2nd Revolution.

But even though there were some of these individuals, they were not many. So only on this last day of competitions did Lothur find them outside of the battles for warriors.

He saw the opponent climbing up the central platform of this coliseum and felt that this match would be difficult.

But since he had already gone so far, he would do his best to get the winner's prize!

In this way, the final match for formations masters began, with both young men greeting each other and then beginning to inscribe their rules on the combat objects.

Everyone in the coliseum was anxious for this match to be over, and soon the time passed, and the sand stopped falling from the top of the hourglass on the side of that platform.

At that instant, Lothur and his opponent took their eyes off the formation flags and acted almost simultaneously!
