Mixed Blessing System

Looking at the women of Lothur and seeing the allies of the coalition against the hybrid raising their defenses in the face of Rebecca's ability, the level 24 demon moved.

'I would leave you for these humans and beasts in the area. But since you're so dangerous, I'll take care of you first!' He moved, moving through the space while aiming at Rebecca first.

Seeing this, Elke understood Viktoria's order, and without hesitation, she manipulated space and appeared in the path of that level 24 demon's blow, putting all of her power into her Constitution while raising her arms in front of her face as if they were shields.

When that elder appeared in front of Rebecca to mercilessly attack her, instead of hitting the beautiful green-haired woman with his fist, he hit the arms of a red-haired woman.

Pow!

"Aaaaaagh!"

Even if she used everything she had, Elke's defense level was inferior to the demon's power. In a single collision between her arms and one of the creature's fists, she howled in pain as she felt both arms broken in several places.

Meanwhile, she was thrown away from where she had appeared next to Rebecca, feeling the power of a level 24 demon that actually had attributes common to beings of that level.

As the demon looked in Elke's direction with a smile on its face, Viktoria appeared behind it and did the opposite of the redhead, attacking the demon's back with everything she had.

The demon didn't even bother to react. Sensing Viktoria's power level, he stood still, using his powers to withstand the brown-haired woman's kick.

"Not bad. Even though you're weak, you have something interesting." He felt a part of the hit area freeze.

Unfortunately for Viktoria, this demon's special power was completely focused on brute force. His body was powerful, and all of his physical tributes received bonuses when he used this ability.

To give you an idea of how terrifying he was, if he were a Soul Bone, he would give his user a 100% bonus to physical attributes during his activation!

His brute strength was so great that he could transform his body into an impenetrable armor, allowing him to withstand even the attacks of those stronger than him.

If he moved while using this ability, he could seriously injure even those who were 100% stronger than him.

Viktoria and Elke didn't stand a chance against such an opponent!

Seeing that his party would be wiped out if he didn't buy some time, Cykad crossed the space and stood between Viktoria and the demon.

Just as the dinosaur appeared in front of Viktoria, the demon attacked with the back of his hand, aiming for the face of Lothur's beautiful wife.

But all he struck was the torso of the great Tyrannosaurus Rex, sending it flying away in a single motion, badly wounded.

"You are very quick to defend yourselves." He commented, but Viktoria had already shifted position, breaking into a cold sweat as she tried to ignore the pain in one of her feet.

'How can that be? I almost broke my foot when I kicked him in the back!' She exclaimed in her mind, frightened by the creature's power.

But the movements of Viktoria, Elke, and Cykad were enough to buy Rebecca some time.

Just as the level 24 demon was about to act against her, the energy flower exploded, causing a poisonous fog to spread through the area, capable of severely affecting even a 3rd Catastrophe Sage.

"Shit! Use all your healing potions!" One of the Ancestral Folk members present shouted when he saw that even with the intervention of the level 24 demon, they couldn't escape the power of the Ancient Poison Body.

Even that demon flinched at Rebecca's move, for even though he was much stronger than her in terms of brute strength, Rebecca's poison could overcome even his defenses.

'Very good! No wonder that creature left you alive. You can really help him a lot.' The demon thought as he brought one of his hands to his nose and moved away from where Rebecca was standing.

But as much as he had to watch out for that poisonous mist, it didn't mean the battle was over, and Lothur's group had won.

This was just one more problem for him to deal with if he wanted to eliminate his target's followers!

As soon as he saw the 15 observers in the area suffering from Rebecca's poison and the worst of that ability beginning to wear off, the demon struck again!

While he moved against Rebecca, Annaliese, and Viktoria, the last ones in fighting condition, Lothur finished eliminating the eight demons.

Almost all of his resistances had improved after absorbing the characteristics of those demons, and all of his bones were evolving and getting closer to becoming Diamond-grade bones.

However, it would still take a long time for him to reach that level, as the diamond grade was the highest and very different from the platinum level.

Anyway, seeing the EVF points at his disposal, Lothur immediately turned them into Soul points.

[EVF: 10 -> 52,115]

...

[1,737 points added to SOU at a cost of 52,110 EVF.]

...

[SOU: 20,263 -> 22,000]

...

[EVF: 52,115 -> 5]

Before the red mist disappeared from his surroundings, Lothur glanced at the eight Soul Bones nearby and saw two with shapes that matched two of the three empty spaces in his Spirit Body.

Curving his lips into a smile, Lothur suddenly noticed something special around one of those bones and quickly approached it.

When he saw a dark glow surrounding the bone, his expression changed to one of shock.

'A remnant... The demon that created this bone managed to survive my ability?' He narrowed his eyes and became more serious.

The demons there had clearly died for him, their essence consumed by his bloodline ability. But now he felt the remnants of a demon in that bone, something that shouldn't happen.

'Interesting. I think this demon's ability could be useful for...' He was thinking about this as he put the bone away in his spatial ring when he felt a terrible sensation approaching him.

Sensing someone attacking him, but also the powerful poison of one of his women, Lothur distorted space and appeared dozens of meters away from where he had 'fought' the demons, having no chance to collect the other bones.

"Hybrid, you truly have impressive power. But your journey ends here. It is time for you to come with me." An older voice reached Lothur's ears as he saw what had happened in the moments he had focused on devouring the life force and traits of the eight demons.

Looking around the battlefield, Lothur saw his four women lying in different places, all badly wounded, still breathing, but not far from death.

Cykad was even worse off, having lost a leg and currently unconscious, as were half of the fifteen people who were there for him.

Those still conscious were trying to counteract the poison in their

bodies and naturally weren't paying attention to their surroundings.

'Fuck!' Lothur looked at the level 24 creature and saw that such a person had ruined his plans.
