Mixed Blessing System



While Lothur was standing beside the beasts of one of the lakes in the Three Great Lakes Region, one of Emperor Leopoldine's investigators encountered Daemon's group!

The moment he noticed the ruins that the ancestors of the Leopoldine family had attacked the powers based there centuries ago, this level 17 man immediately called his group over there.

"Your Majesty, I believe I have found Daemon's lair!" The voice of one of the high-level elders of that family reached the emperor through a short-range communicator.

The moment he heard this from the crystal-like item in his hands, the old emperor quickly looked in that man's direction and said. "Let's go ahead, attack the place under Daemon's control with everything!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Two dozen cultivators from that group exclaimed simultaneously.

The time had finally come for them to confront the cursed Daemon and retrieve their precious item!

They all quickly flew to the spot where the investigator had discovered part of the ruins where Daemon's group was hiding.

In the blink of an eye, their group gathered around that spot and, without delay, began their attack!

The weaker, level 16 men controlled the group's offensive formations and soon began firing on that property.

Leopoldine's emperor's group was no fool. They knew that there were certainly magnificent formations around that place!

Before they used their powers, they would unload their weapons under Daemon's headquarters!

So the first of these weapons fired, throwing a green beam in the direction of this place.

As everyone in this group was circulating their energy, preparing for combat to begin, a bluish, semitransparent barrier appeared under that area.

BOOM!

But still, as defense and offense collided, a powerful explosion erupted in the vicinity, alerting everyone up to a few miles away of what would happen in the next few moments.

Daemon saw this and stopped meditating on the outskirts of his property, opening his eyes and looking in the direction of where his old man's group was already attacking them.

"Get ready! The old man is here!" He shouted to his staff, already standing in front of one of the boundaries of the defensive barrier under the area.

"Damn it! Boss, the emperor is furious!" One of the men closest to Daemon shouted this when he saw the face of the old emperor, who was green with anger at the moment.

"It's only natural... We stole the most valuable thing he had."

Daemon turned to someone else and asked. "How is our progress? Do we already have our weapon? Our defenses are good, but it seems that the Leopoldine family formation masters have had major advances in their formations. We won't be able to stand being under attack for long."

One of the men in the development area of Daemon's group heard that and shouted to his leader. "Our progress is at 95%. Chief, we need more time.

We will focus the entire staff to finish everything, but we won't be able to do it in less than an hour!"

"An hour? All right, I'll get that time for you." Daemon said in a determined manner. "But don't delay! After an hour, we'll have to run away, or we'll crash here!"

Gulp!

Daemon's group was strong. He had a great composition, and each of the men and women in his group was armed with quality equipment, a little better than those of the imperial family.

However, the emperor's group had more quality. After all, the Leopoldine family was a millennial power with countless favorable conditions for their talents to grow.

The family might not be as advanced in terms of technology, but their numbers of warriors and the levels of these individuals were higher than Daemon's.

So as capable as they were, this group from the Three Great Lakes Region didn't have enough to take on the Emperor head-on and be able to stop them for long!

If they took too long, they would have to give up their project and run away!

The people in Daemon's development group understood this and soon began to focus on their project even more.

Either they would finish the production of this Platinum-grade weapon, or it was the end of decades of their project!

Amid this, various elemental forms of attacks were hitting the barrier above them, little by little creating points of tension and small openings.

The emperor's group saw this and held their positions, preparing for the invasion.

"They will try to use the Blood Crystal somehow, so be careful. That thing will be tough to fight against if Daemon's people have managed to create something that at least uses a fraction of its powers!" The emperor shouted amidst the explosions in the surrounding area.

...

Hearing the noises coming from the direction of the emperor's group, Lothur finally realized that something was up and stopped talking to the beasts from earlier.

"Guys, time for me to leave. I don't know if we'll see each other again, so this is goodbye." He said as he looked with a smile in that direction.

"Good luck, Lothur. I hope you achieve what you seek. If we can help you one day, we definitely will." The big level 17 toad said as he chewed on something.

After those words, he saw Lothur disappearing from that area.

Lothur moved through space, heading towards the place where the emperor's group was attacking the forces of Daemon's group with everything.

When he got there, he saw the large barrier over those areas and the weapons of his grandfather's group, feeling the power of both parties.

'Gold-grade, eh? It won't be easy for me to ignore those defenses and invade the area.' He smiled bitterly, noting that his father's defensive items were of great quality.

If given time, he could find a way to manipulate those barriers, as he had already done in the Imperial Prison.

But he judged that he wouldn't have that kind of time, or rather, there was no point in him worrying about it. The weapons of the Emperor's group were also Gold-grade. If he waited a few minutes, those defenses would fall, and nothing else would be in his way!

Seeing this, Lothur stood still, flying above that area as he watched the defenses of Daemon's group weaken little by little.

He saw his old father's face for the first time and noticed the similarities between the two.

But Lothur didn't care what blood ties he had with these people. He just had a little curiosity in his heart.

As an earthling in this cultivation world, he didn't feel attached to these people. All he wanted was the Blood Crystal, something he intended to use to strengthen the Elemental Staff!
