Mixed Blessing System



"Found it!" After some time searching for the name said by Lothur, the 3rd-grade member attending, he exclaimed upon finding such a name.

Upon finding it, he immediately infused some of his spiritual power into that book, causing Mathias' name to shine brightly.

A flow of information coursed through his body and reached his brain.

He then began to speak. "Mathias Scheidemann, a 3rd stage demon hunter from the ancient Grapia Kingdom. His name became known almost 5,000 years ago. According to rumors, he had more than 5 Soul Bones the last time he was seen in combat.

However, he was expelled from the Seraphim Church after becoming involved in a love affair with someone from the Ancestral Folk. After that, he joined the Real Army of Grapia and participated in the war that eventually destroyed Grapia."

The information the Cultivation House had regarding the man behind the soul fragment that Lothur met was just basic. But it was still much more than this young man had.

'So that's why he left his family...' Lothur wondered.

A man had to work to pay his bills!

Experts needed a lot of resources to keep advancing, get good items for their family members, etc.

Demon hunters usually received financial support, with resources and many more from the Seraphim Church, while they had a lot of freedom of where and how to act.

Apart from some extreme situations, in general, a strong demon hunter like Mathias could even stay away from the Church for years without a problem.

But by being expelled from this organization, this man had ended up in a situation where he had to join a new force, one that limited much of his freedoms.

A war broke out as soon as he joined the royal forces of Grapia. The rest was history.

"Five Soul Bones?" Natali exclaimed upon hearing it, shocked that there were people like that in the world.

"Yes, he was a good demon hunter, miss." That man was also impressed.

It was not easy to achieve that feat!

"But among demon hunters near the 4th stage, it is common for them to have at least 4 bones. But there are reports of such people with 6, 7, even 8 Soul Bones!" He said with a gleam in his eyes, looking at that woman.

"But that's terrible. Are there such people? They must be invincible!"

Lothur heard that and was momentarily distracted. "Actually, no. Talented demon hunters don't accept just any bone. Many will not absorb new bones to strengthen themselves unless it is a bone from a well-ranked demon.

So certainly the stronger ones are further behind in the number of bones than others of lesser talent who will absorb any bone they lay their hands on."

Soul Bones could not be removed. The only way for one of them to separate from a body and spirit was from that person's death. So as they grew stronger and filled parts of the Spirit Body, demon hunters became more selective.

This was why it was so difficult to find people with a complete Spirit Body in this world.

Even those who made the mistake of absorbing lower quality bones until their 7th or 8th bone would eventually not absorb the missing bones until they found well-graded bones or were close to their deaths.

Upon reaching their last years of life, these hunters would try to absorb any type of Soul Bone and complete their Spirit body in an attempt to increase their life expectancy and test the legend that said people like this became immortal.

But even doing this with low-quality bones was not easy. After all, there were 10 spaces in the human body. Upon reaching 8 or 9 spaces used, one would have few options left.

It could happen that the missing bones would be a rare, hard-to-find type. In that case, even finding a low-quality one would be difficult.

The only option for a demon hunter in this situation would be to find a hybrid of humans and demons.

In addition to generating the best possible bone in terms of quality, the hybrid would generate a bone that was missing for such a human!

"Is that so?" Natali asked.

The officer of the Cultivation House agreed. "Indeed. By getting more bones, one naturally becomes more demanding."

Lothur looked at that man and asked. "I would like to know if there is any information about that person from Ancestor Folk who got him kicked out of the Church."

That man looked again at the book before him and saw a secondary information option about that man.

"All there is here is that he lived for 3 years with this Ancestral Folk woman and then separated from her to join the Royal Army. There is no information about her here, so I would advise you to look for that in one of our posts closer to the Ancestral Region or the Seraphim Church.

This person motivated a rare expulsion of a demon hunter, so there is probably a file on her at the Church headquarters.

In one of our posts near the Ancestral Region, you can search for Ancestral Folk women expelled from their tribes for getting involved with humans.

You might be able to find information that connects to this man doing this. There certainly aren't many cases of such women in the period that Mathias was expelled from the Church."

Upon hearing that, Lothur accepted that man's advice and paid for the service regarding this information.

Leaving the Cultivation House, he stopped in front of this place and said to Natali. "Now, I would like to stop by the Formations Masters Association and also the local Alchemy Guild."

She heard that but asked. "Egon, who exactly are you? Why did those people at the Cultivation House treat you so well when normally that doesn't happen?"

"I can tell you that, but only if you give me something in return..." Lothur grabbed her waist and brought her closer to himself, looking into Natali's cherry lips.

Natali looked into his eyes in silence for a moment, feeling goosebumps run through her body.

Even though his appearance was slightly altered by the pills he had been taking, Lothur was still extremely handsome. And even though such a young woman was used to being flirted with by handsome and powerful young men, Natali couldn't help but feel nervous about him, a little turned on by the mystery and looks of this man.

She swallowed her saliva and let go of him, taking a deep breath. "We have to go in a few more places, don't we? Let's not get lost in our daydreams."

She walked in front of him, going towards one of those places, while Lothur smiled and watched the swaying of her bountiful hips.

'But I want to get lost in these 'daydreams'...'
