Mixed Blessing System

"Hybrid, if you're here to kill us, do it quickly. We'll never help you..." The strongest man there spoke, even though he was afraid to die. But before he could finish, Lothur interrupted him.

"Do not misunderstand me. I can take the information I want from you. I'm just giving you a chance to cooperate." Lothur said, smiling at the man.

"If you can do that, why didn't you do it in the first place?" Another asked, full of hatred for the creature before him.

There was a long history between the creatures of this continent and the hybrids. Many have suffered greatly at the hands of these terrible creatures throughout history. So, of course, the chances of an enemy side trusting Lothur were very slim.

But Lothur was now more than ever aware that the demons and their plans were going better than anyone believed, and there was a great chance that this continent would soon have to unite against the demons.

He was only one and couldn't be everywhere. Even if he succeeded in his plans, he couldn't defend these lands if he was hunting on Demon Island.

With that in mind, Lothur didn't want to kill these men who couldn't hurt him. Moreover, he wanted to try to warn them without making them hate him even more.

He said. "I want to ally myself with you." He said, making all the men look at him in disbelief, not believing that a hybrid would have the courage to say such absurd words.

Lothur continued. "I have never slaughtered innocent people. I've always acted against enemies with my own life or the lives of my companions in mind. You can easily verify that. My concern and real enemies are demons, who can strengthen me with their Soul Bones.

It should be the same for you. You must know that a 3rd Catastrophe demon recently appeared on the continent, right? He was after me because of the Demon Emperor's resurrection plans."

'Demon Emperor?' Some people there couldn't help but listen to Lothur's concerns, even though they believed this hybrid was not good.

Perhaps he really had no interest in dealing with innocents these days. After all, at his level, it wouldn't make sense to massacre innocents to strengthen himself. It was much more practical for him to find a group of ten or so demons, kill them, and maybe find the last few bones he was missing.

But that didn't mean he was a friend or potential ally of the living beings of Concordia.

'Absurd! We would never ally ourselves with you, aberration!' One of the strongest there thought to himself, even considering his preoccupation with the Demon Emperor's affairs.

Lothur didn't expect to change these people's minds in one meeting and said. "Take this message to your people. Those who do not attack me from now on, whether equal to you or stronger than you, I will not consider them enemies and will not attack them.

But since you can't trust me on this day, I'm sorry, but I'll have to use my powers against you. But don't worry, I'll just take the information I want and leave."

After saying this, dark flames exploded from his body and covered the entire camp area, reaching all the bodies of the Sages in that place in a single instant.

With that done, Lothur quickly made the men answer his questions and discovered where Cykad might have been taken.

Lothur had arrived there thinking he might find Cykad, but the moment he entered the camp, he already knew that such a dinosaur wasn't there.

However, Lothur hadn't wasted his time there. Armed with new information, he had work to do.

After hearing the answers to his questions, he withdrew his black flames from the men and tried to start a new relationship with these beings.

He still felt hatred for those who had destroyed his Diamond-grade Soul Bone, and he still had plans to steal one of the Diamond-grade bones from the Seraphim Church. However, Lothur no longer saw everyone in the coalition hunting him as enemies to be eliminated.

With the demonic threat growing by the day, he wanted to save as many specialists as possible for a possible war against the demons on the continent.

After removing his black flames from these men, women, and beasts, he left without harming them, shocking some of them, for they knew how 'nourishing' they could be to Lothur.

...

After a few hours, Lothur was already searching for the information he had received from the group of hybrid hunters when he suddenly felt someone was trying to communicate with him.

Lothur could communicate with some of his Black Flames-dominated slaves if both he and the other side trying to talk to him used all their strength to establish mental communication between the two sides.

That couldn't last very long, let alone work over long distances.

However, after Lothur's advancement to level 25, his range had increased significantly, and his 5th-stage slaves could more easily establish communication with him.

As he moved to analyze the new information, Lothur sensed something and stopped to check what it was.

'Master, it's me.' He heard the voice of the 5th-stage spectre he and his group had encountered weeks ago on a beach on the continent's east coast.

Remembering the mission he had given to many of the spectre groups, Lothur narrowed his eyes and imagined something problematic would happen.

'What is the problem?'

'I have two things to tell the master. First, something will happen in Ashen in the next few weeks. A group of high-level spectres would travel to that state to help my men, who should be there if the master hadn't eliminated them.'

'Oh?'

'Second, I have information that something big is about to happen. The leaders of the demon tribe are beginning to move, and some of their representatives are expected on my island in a few weeks. I think they may have found a new singularity.'

'That is very worrying.' Lothur thought and ended the communication shortly afterward.

"What is it, creator?" Blood asked, seeing that something had changed.

And indeed, Lothur's plans had changed.

"Blood and Smoke, I want you both to go to Ashen. Something is about to happen, and powerful spectres will go to the capital of such a state. I want you to absorb these creatures and then return to me. In the meantime, I intend to find Cykad, and when you join me, we'll go to the Castle of Shadows."
