Mixed Blessing System

Six hours later...

After hours of sleeping inside one of the pools in that blue chamber, Lothur was still unconscious. Still, his body had regenerated all the previous wounds.

Also, while he was sleeping in that pool, with his entire body submerged, a dark red liquid was oozing out of some of his facial orifices.

Traces of blood could be seen in his nose and ears while his eyes glowed as if they were on fire, and his eyelids looked as if they would melt at any moment.

Simultaneously, his entire face was sweaty and flushed to the extreme. Meanwhile, his skull Soul Bone was changing due to that special liquid in Lothur's surroundings.

If one were there and could see through the skin, such a person would see Lothur's skull Soul Bone taking more space from his skull and pulsating as if it were a heart. But not only that, but such a thing was glowing in shades closer and closer to golden, leaving its silver behind.

[Detected amount of energy and substance compatible with Skull Soul Bone needed to complete its advancement...]

The system notified Lothur, even though he was unconscious.

When the progress bar reached 100%, a golden glow and halo appeared above Lothur's head as this young man trembled in pain, bringing his hands to his face.

At that instant, the Soul Bone in his skull stopped growing, turning into an utterly golden bone.

Along with this, his eyes shone even brighter, receiving the changes of such an evolution and reaching an extreme saturation point.

One of the beasts in that pool area, the yellow crocodile, opened its eyes upon noticing this new disturbance in its meditation and saw what was happening.

"What?" It exclaimed in surprise upon noticing such a human in that state but with no chance to do anything about it.

Just as it was getting ready to check on Lothur's condition, this still, unconscious young man had his eyelids totally burned off by a laser that shot out of his eyes!

Such a thing was extremely red and hot, immediately piercing the bluish stone layer above where Lothur was standing.

That creature saw this and stood with its mouth open, noticing that such a human was not normal.

'Who is he? Why was he allowed in here?' It took its eyes off the two small craters on top of that area after the laser in question had disappeared.

But as it looked into Lothur's exposed eyes, it frowned as it saw this fellow's eyelids slowly beginning to grow in place of the burning.

'Monster!'

'He's like a demon!' It got out of its pool, feeling that Lothur was too dangerous to be left beside it.

This crocodile activated its claws and opened its mouth slightly, showing its razor-sharp teeth, as it slowly walked towards Lothur.

But as it did so, trying to approach that human, the white fox from earlier appeared in front of it.

"What are you doing, Ice?" The crocodile asked in the common beasts' language.

"I ask you the same, Vleedat! What do you intend to do?" The level 14 fox questioned, barking at this level 16 crocodile.

"That human is dangerous! Didn't you see what he just did? Someone like that deserves to die before he becomes uncontrollable!" It said as it stepped forward and made that fox jump back.

"No!"

"You can't do that..."

Before the fox could explain the situation, that yellow crocodile looked at it and closed its mouth before shaking its head and throwing that white being away in one move.

'As if I have to justify myself to an inferior being!' It thought about it as it set its eyes on Lothur again, noticing that this human's eyelids had already fully regenerated.

'He really is dangerous!'

'I must kill him, or he will become worse than a demon!'

He jumped up and motioned to bite toward Lothur's neck, prepared to decapitate this opponent.

But when this beast made this move, Lothur felt a chill throughout his body and opened his eyes.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 12]

[STR: 62 -> 71.3]

[CON: 272.7 -> 286.4]

[DEX: 55.3 -> 66.4]

[INT: 93.4]

[PER: 119.6 -> 120.9]

[WIL: 92.2]

[EVF: 0]

He immediately saw that his eyes had improved during these past six hours and his body also benefited from this opportunity.

When a Soul Bone evolved, the parts of the Spirit Body would become stronger, generating benefits not only for the soul but also for the fleshy body.

As for his eyes, Lothur noticed their evolution immediately as he opened his eyes with the sense of danger he had just felt.

As he looked ahead and saw the creature's teeth approaching his head, he saw the situation as if time was passing more slowly. At the same time, he promptly found a weak spot in his opponent's mouth and acted.

Just when that crocodile thought it would cut Lothur's neck with its movement, it suddenly felt two hands preventing its movement.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Lothur shouted as he positioned himself to hold his opponent's teeth with his hands, preventing its jaw from closing.

'What?' The creature realized what was happening and did not understand how this fragile human could withstand its bite.

To do that, Lothur would have to have a Constitution almost as strong as its, a level 16 creature!

But Lothur still had slightly less power than this being, and without delay, he acted to get rid of this creature.

He felt a burning sensation in his eyes and focused on a slight wound in one of the creature's teeth.

Immediately a laser beam slightly weaker than the previous one shot out of his eyes, turning Lothur's entire vision red.

But since the focus of his Soul Bone ability was to 'see' things well, he could see perfectly, even in this situation.

With that, Lothur was not hindered by such a thing as he prepared to propel himself in the opposite direction of this beast after his attack.

"Ouch!"

"Bastard!" That yellow crocodile screamed as it felt pain in its mouth, opening it wide enough for Lothur to escape its grasp.

Simultaneously, Lothur jumped further away from that creature, falling into the outdoor area where those pools were.

As this happened, the snowman that had abandoned the demon to go after the unconscious white fox looked at him and started running toward its new target.

Lothur felt like 'relaxing' once more, feeling full of energy. So he activated his newly acquired ability once again!

Poof!

As the red laser beam passed through the middle of the creature's forehead, that body part melted, and the snowman fell to the ground!

'What?'
