Mixed Blessing System



"Miss Elke is right. Better to kill these bastards early than give them a chance to harm our creator." One of the two cats, now with a full belly, said this childishly, causing everyone there to look at her with wide eyes.

The other cat ignored the behavior of these people and said. "My creator, we must leave. If we stay, the members of that race will catch up with us. We'd better go through one spatial rift and then another to throw off any possible investigators."

Lothur's creations were far more intelligent than anyone could have expected. They didn't have many things on their minds and could easily focus on the problem at hand.

When they had finished eliminating these creatures, all they could think about was the danger the group would be in if they delayed their escape. With this in mind, one of them had already devised a plan to distance his creator from this place and make himself 'inaccessible' to the investigators who would be there in a few minutes.

Hearing that, Lothur agreed. "Let's move on to our previous destination."

"But what about them?" Cykad asked, feeling a bit scared.

"Don't worry about them. They're not what you think." Lothur said before opening a spatial rift for his group.

They all moved towards him when he did, while the two cats quickly climbed onto Lothur's shoulders and sat down.

Lothur looked at them and decided to give them names.

"From now on, you will be called Smoke and you Blood." He said, naming them after the colors of the fur of these two adorable animals.

One had dark red fur, the color of wine, while the other was completely gray.

The two creatures loved to be named. After Lothur's words, they rubbed their little bodies against their creator's face in gratitude.

Meanwhile, they quickly reached a place hundreds of kilometers away from where they had dealt with the members of the Ancestral Folk.

Arriving in that area, Lothur once again opened a spatial rift, this time in a direction indicated by Cykad, to where he knew one of the groups of demons unobserved by humans, beasts, or 5th-stage demons would be.

Doing so without delay, in less than ten minutes, Lothur had led his group out of the Ancestral Region and into the interior of the Petha Empire, where it would be almost impossible for the Ancestral Folk to reach them.

Arriving there, Lothur looked around and remembered the last time he had passed through this state when the local ruler was about to advance to the 5th stage.

"Where are we going, Cykad?" Lothur asked.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex looked around, sensing where exactly Lothur had brought him. After a moment of silence, he answered. "Let's head north. There's a group of 4th stage demons in an area about 2 hours from where we are."

Meanwhile, the two kittens looked around, scanning the area for enemies.

Their defensive instincts regarding Lothur were excellent. Even without command, they scanned the area for their creator.

If they saw something, they would act!

But as the group began to move north, they stood on Lothur's shoulders, sensing nothing alarming on the path Cykad had indicated.

Rebecca then asked the beast leading the way. "Elder Cykad, why aren't these demons being watched? Wouldn't it be in the interest of those searching for Lothur to watch all demons? After all, they can all be used to strengthen him."

Cykad continued to stare ahead but answered the woman. "It is not that simple. Unlike us, the beings who are after Lothur don't know how his abilities work. For these Sages, the young Ritter would have to devour his enemies and spend weeks absorbing their powers.

At Lothur's level, he would need to devour a surreal amount of low-level beings, or a small amount of powerful ones, to become stronger.

These Sages keep an eye on these two extremes. They're watching for powerful demons that can give Lothur a lot of power at once, and they're also watching for news of possible massacres.

As for the middle ground, they simply can't monitor that many beings at once.

Since Lothur is less likely to go after these demons because they wouldn't make interesting bones for him, these Sages only focus on the strongest."

There weren't many Sages on the continent, and some still had to investigate Lothur's possible tracks. If they relied solely on observations of possible disasters or hunts that he might have created, they might lose him altogether.

Hybrids could also become stronger through cultivation!

If Lothur was hiding in a cave and meditating, he could still grow stronger and become a greater threat to the continent.

Because of this, some Sages in the coalition against him had to search for his possible locations to avoid this possibility.

And this, of course, reduced the number of demons being watched!

"Not only that but after Lothur's persecution began, the powers of the continent stopped hunting demons, which gave this tribe more courage to increase the number of these beings running around the continent.

I have a location of more than 40 groups, but I'm sure the number of demon groups in the northern region alone is more than 200. No one is hunting them, and they are seizing the moment to pursue their hidden goals.

With the hybrid threat in our world, few are watching the demons.

In the case of the first groups we will attack, they won't be watched by anyone but my people." He finished speaking, sure of this.

Cykad had been studying and observing groups of demons for months. Recently, he had increased the number of groups under observation exponentially and noticed that several groups, like his, had stopped looking for demons to go after the hybrid.

He himself had run several tests, approaching these groups with no intention of acting and without drawing the attention of his targets after noticing that no one was watching them.

He could have done so with relative ease if he had wanted to act and kill those demons!

Everyone in Lothur's group listened to these words, confident in what Cykad had done so far.

Even though Cykad wasn't as strong as they were, he was much more experienced, and his tips were better than acting in the dark.

So, the group flew north, hiding their cultivations to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Flying at the maximum speed of level 20 Saints, two hours after arriving in the Petha Empire, they finally arrived near the group of five demons Cykad had chosen for Lothur to begin his journey.
