Mixed Blessing System



Hours later, Lothur's group would reach the area of the Norid empire near the border with Thasan.

Arriving in this area, Lothur took the group's lead by using his investigative skills, something he had been doing for the past few days whenever his group got close to their targets.

With a skill as good as Lothur's, their group could review their targets' locations in real-time and check for possible enemies without causing a disturbance.

Cykad's men had helped the group a lot over the last few days, but it was also because of Lothur's skill that they had managed to reach this place without facing any problems since leaving the Ancestral Region.

So, after Lothur had investigated the area for a few minutes, he would find his mother's group not far from where he had stopped to investigate, finally leading his people to where Fabienne was.

Fabienne's group was camped near a lake, and only two of the demons in her group were watching the area.

Arriving there with his group, Lothur changed his appearance back to his original one, immediately attracting the gaze of these two low-ranking beings in the demon world.

Seeing who was there, the two demons on guard had smiles on their faces and promptly knelt down when faced with their leader's son.

"Lothur!" They said simultaneously, remembering the day they had rescued this young man from envoys of the Leopoldine family who were taking him to the Imperial Prison.

When they spoke Lothur's name simultaneously, Fabienne and the rest of her group immediately woke up from their rest or their meditations.

After leaving her tent, Fabienne saw her son's face again after months of worry. However, she also noticed his group, which contained not only humans but also three beasts.

The other members of her group observed the rest of the group with some uncertainty, unable to say for sure the level of cultivation of these beings.

With everyone in Lothur's group hiding their cultivation, there was no way these 3rd and 4th stage beings could probe their strength!

But Lothur's group could easily tell the strength of these beings, while young Ritter could see his mother's status.

[Name: Fabienne Vazrath]

[Soul Cultivation: level 19]

[Body Cultivation: level 18]

[STR: 825] [CON: 910] [DEX: 864] [AGI: 848]

[INT: 944] [PER: 774] [WIL: 692] [SOU: 999]

"You've leveled up since the last time we met," Lothur commented as he looked at Fabienne.

Fabienne looked at Lothur, already aware that he had managed to escape from the Imperial Prison, or there wouldn't have been so many reports of hybrids on the loose on the continent.

She walked to his side as she said. "That doesn't compare to what you've achieved. Congratulations on becoming a Sage, Lothur. You make me very proud to have given birth to you."

"And who are these, young master?" One of the demons of the Monarch hierarchy asked while looking toward Lothur's women and the dinosaur.

Judging by the position of the two cats on Lothur's shoulders, it was obvious that these red and gray fur balls were his beasts.

Lothur then introduced his group. "This Tyrannosaurus Rex is a friend of mine who helped me a lot on my journey. As for these humans, they are my women."

With that said, they each introduced themselves, saying their names and greeting Fabienne one by one.

Fabienne wasn't surprised that her son had gathered so many women, but she was pleased they had all reached the 5th stage.

Together, they could face this world and stand a chance of survival!

"You make a beautiful family. I'm glad you're together." She said to the girls before looking at Lothur and asking. "But I'm curious about these two adorable creatures. I get an awful feeling from them."

The others there felt the same way, even more negatively affected by those cats than by the great beast in Lothur's group that looked at them as if he would attack them at any moment.

Lothur looked at one of the two creatures and laughed. "These are my creations, Blood and Smoke. I created them."

They didn't quite understand what Lothur meant. His words to almost all of them meant that he had been taking care of these kittens since they were born...

But Fabienne was different from the rest of her group. With a high-level lineage and being the one with the highest cultivation among the demons in her group, she could sense that Lothur's words had a deeper meaning.

'Did he really do that?' She wondered as she looked at one of those cats, thinking of the taboo that even demons avoided committing.

But as a sinner herself, she could not judge her son.

"Are you sure about them?" She asked him.

"Of course."

"Then that's what matters. Nothing else matters if they won't harm you and your group." She said with a sigh of relief.

But then she changed the subject. "So, what brought you here?"

As the mother of a hybrid, Fabienne was ready to give her Soul Bone to Lothur whenever he decided to absorb her powers!

The same was true for the group of demons under her command, who had decided to do so on the day of Lothur's birth.

Lothur then said. "I am here to help you. You saved my life back there, so I think I should help you get stronger."

"Don't worry about that, Lothur. My purpose is for you to become as strong as possible. You don't have to do anything for me." She said as the demons in the area nodded their heads in agreement.

The commitment of these beings to the hybrid they had helped to protect and create was so great that Cykad couldn't help but be impressed, seeing for the first time some of the legends about these beings.

'Hybrids are so terrible that they are able to affect the lives of those around them before they are even born.' Cykad thought as he looked at Lothur.

'Those who see a hybrid being born will never be able to turn against it. Once you watch the birth of such a creature, you will be bewitched to live only for the hybrid and be ready to sacrifice yourself for it at any time.'

Seeing that the legends were not untrue; on the contrary, they portrayed things as they were, this dinosaur took a deep breath and noticed the strange determination of these beings.

Seeing this, he didn't even feel like killing these demons. They had already lost their essence and would do whatever the hybrid they had helped to create decided!
