Mixed Blessing System



Sensing more room for an escape attempt, Lothur looked at the two enemies chasing him, a dragon and a human and activated his two main techniques.

Omnipotence!

Cruel Underworld!

Combining these two techniques, he increased his power a bit, and in a few moments, several fallen creatures in the area came to serve him!

Lothur had plans for these creatures that were chasing him, while he had not used all of his powers when he was most vulnerable.

If he had acted then, he would have had a lower chance of success, as his enemies would have been less worn down.

From the beginning of this hunt, the goal was to find a way for him to absorb one of those two bones and raise his level. He couldn't do that without temporarily escaping the sight of those beings, so he hadn't used all of his until he thought he wouldn't have the best results.

But now, after more than 2 hours of battle, with the enemies already quite wounded, tired, and even scattered, he was confident to make his main move!

Against only the two strongest enemies, he raised a group of a dozen dead creatures, all at the beginning of level 21!

"Fight these bastards!" He shouted as he sent the creatures of darkness at them, causing the two creatures to give him ugly looks.

But Lothur would not wait to see the outcome of this confrontation, knowing that the rest of the dragons and humans were nearby and could find him quickly.

He fled the area and searched for a good cave where he could have at least 5 minutes of peace.

When he found such a place, he erased all his tracks and promptly hid, already holding one of the two Soul Bones in his hands.

Unfortunately, the two Emperor demons had formed the same type of Soul Bone!

This was a rare situation, but it could happen.

Fortunately, it was a bone that Lothur did not have yet.

Lothur quickly chose the bone from that female demon, knowing that her skill was the more impressive of the two.

[Emperor Demon Patella Soul Bone] [Rank: Platinum]

[Feature: Once absorption begins, it will replace the right patella. It will become one of the 10 Soul Bones with the Decomposition skill. It also increases all physical attributes by 95% and all mental characteristics of the one who absorbs it by 100%.]

[Absorb Emperor Demon Patella Soul Bone?]

'Yes!'

Lothur smiled as he gave the order, quickly closing his eyes and ignoring the ten enemies in the area that were slowly approaching his location.

Immediately after his command, the right patella flew to his right knee, glowing brightly before quickly entering his body and beginning to fuse with the common bone.

The process this time was even faster than Lothur's last Soul Bone absorption, even considering the higher quality of it.

In the blink of an eye, Lothur felt his patella bone becoming something different, something that would give him a lot of power!

He once again felt the will of the demon in that bone, the remnant of the soul it had left behind when it died from the blow of the Darkness Scythe.

'Thank you for leaving this behind!' Lothur quickly absorbed it, giving the demon no chance to take his heart and reappear in his body.

Lothur could feel all of his bones progressing a bit along with his mortal aura.

However, for the time being, they were not improving in quality. They were just approaching new levels.

Five minutes after the absorption of these bones began, Lothur felt a sudden surge of power in his body, and any pain he felt during the process subsided.

His wounds finished healing, and his tired aura from earlier grew stronger, this time reaching a new level!

[EVF: 2]

A huge crack appeared from within his body, and Lothur felt as if the world had changed, and a vortex of energy formed above where he stood.

In this area of the Ancestral Region, tens of thousands of creatures sensed the birth of a Sage in this direction!

All of Lothur's enemies suddenly looked toward the cave he had entered, sensing an indescribable power emanating from that area.

Not only the Saints but even the Sages sensed Lothur's progress.

But even at a critical moment, Lothur quickly collected the bonuses from leveling up, gaining new advancements in his affinities and the advancement of his bones!

[PER: 3,255 -> 3,525]

In the blink of an eye, Lothur's entire cultivation comprehension skyrocketed, and his techniques that had not yet reached the Grandmaster level suddenly reached the last phase of mastery.

Feeling this, Lothur opened his eyes, and an extensive smile appeared as a red glow returned from the center of his being.

"You bastards, Seraphim Church, I'm back!" He shouted as he stood up, and without hesitation, he activated his bloodline ability, causing a giant of blood to surge out of his body.

After a long time, red marks appeared around his face again, and Lothur felt every creature within 5 kilometers of him fall under his control.

"Now you are all my food!"

Lothur reached the ultimate control of his ability, and outside of that space of up to 5 kilometers from him, no one else could sense his powerful ability!

Thus, the most powerful ability on the continent was back, now with no restrictions!
