Mixed Blessing System



After seeing two of his partners turn into Soul Bones, the level 23 demon still standing felt a deep hatred for Lothur but an even greater fear of those bones being absorbed by him.

"Let's destroy the damned bones!" He said to the still-standing level 22 demon, determined to limit Lothur's ability to grow stronger.

But seeing this, Lothur immediately used the water wheel of darkness to cover the two bones and hide them in the River of Souls.

Gravity!

He covered the Darkness Scythe with his gravitational ability and connected the body of the level 22 demon to his weapon. Immediately, a strong gravitational force caused the demon to attack one of the Soul Bones to lose control of his body.

Exhausted, he could not shake off the opponent's movement and promptly felt his body fly toward Lothur.

"Shit!"

The other shouted as he noticed this but continued to attack the water wheel of darkness.

But as he threw weak blows at his level in that direction, Lothur extended some of his spiritual energy and covered the entire water wheel.

When the level 22 demon flew toward him, Lothur's energy covered that particular form. When it was hit by the final attacks of that demonic creature, all of his attacks disintegrated before it even reached that Platinum-grade skill.

Seeing this, the remaining level 23 demon trembled as he lamented his and his companions' misfortune.

"Nooooo!"

Swooish!

Meanwhile, the second demon's body finally got close enough to Lothur, and he moved his weapon, slicing the creature's body in half in one fell swoop!

Using the Darkness Scythe, Lothur destroyed the essence of that being, marking the death of another 5th-stage demon!

But he did not relax as the creature's corpse fell into the River of Souls, glowing as it already formed a new Soul Bone. Lothur looked at the remaining demon as he slumped to the ground, too tired to do anything.

"This is just the beginning, creature. Soon, I will send all your companions to the same place you are going." Lothur said before disappearing and reappearing behind the human-looking creature.

In a single instant, he moved his weapon and decapitated the level 23 creature with ease.

With this blow, the battle against the demons was finally over!

"Hah... Hah..." Lothur took a deep breath as he watched the last two Soul Bones of the day form while the River of Souls degraded every remnant of those demons.

A minute later, the four Platinum-grade Soul Bones of the Emperor demons were in a spatial ring of Lothur.

Unfortunately for the young Ritter, none of these bones would fit into his body. Not only did he not have room in his skeleton for 3 of the 4 Soul Bones, but the last one had an ability that did not interest Lothur.

He thought it would make more sense for Viktoria to have that ability.

He did not want just to absorb bones to increase his powers at any cost. He wanted the best powers!

Once he reached 10 absorbed bones, he could no longer change or add anything to himself, so he was much more selective than before.

Finishing his business there, and with no intention of absorbing the bones in his hands, he looked north with hatred in his eyes. 'I will hunt demon hunters in the future, damned Seraphim Church. That Diamond-grade Soul Bone you stole from me will be collected!'

With that in mind, Lothur did not hesitate and opened a portal away from there while using his own energy to change his appearance.

Once again, he would have to hide!

...

While Lothur returned to Leopoldine to complete his mission and see his women again, the powers of that state were already gathering to face a threat against them.

At the emperor's request, the entire state began to move to defend itself against the outside powers moving against its borders.

A great war could begin at any moment, as the enemies were less than a day away from reaching this territory.

For this reason, temporary military camps were set up all over the empire, where noble, civil, and imperial forces gathered to defend the state.

If you went to the big cities of this state now, you would find a rather strange situation, with a great lack of specialists in these cities.

But that was only natural for the current situation of the state. Everyone above level 16 in Leopoldine was in some camp on the many borders with other states.

Even the members of the Ritter family had been forced to move from Peter City to the outskirts of Linn Province, which was in the most complicated situation at the moment.

Viktoria, Elke, Annaliese, and even Rebecca were divided into two groups around that province, one near Lenz and the other near Ashen.

But even outside their headquarters, these formerly reclusive women were still hiding their strength, using the last moments of peace before the war to strengthen themselves further.

Besides them, almost all the powers of Peters City, from the Becker family to the Waldeaur family, were with their strongest specialists around a defensive belt of the province.

The only power that didn't follow that was House Koch, which continued to keep watch over the many Ritter Motor Company vehicles that roamed the province.

As such, Peter City seemed to be somewhat devoid of experts at the moment, with only low-level personnel.

Not even a 3rd stage cultivator had stayed in this place to maintain the local defense!

But then, a spatial crack opened above this city, and a black-haired, brown-eyed young man appeared above the area.

Looking at this place and realizing that none of his women were there, not even his many men, Lothur frowned.

He was already in no mood for what had happened to him more than an hour ago. Faced with this strange situation, he could not help but feel annoyed.

"What the hell is going on?" He wondered as he ignored the many cars and buses that passed through the main streets of Peter City.

Using his skills, Lothur soon spotted his family's headquarters and went to the Koch patriarch, who was there at this very moment.
