Mixed Blessing System

After striking the man's neck, Lothur used his powers to activate the special ability of the Darkness Scythe along with his current abilities, such as Black Flames and Miracle of Life.

What he intended to do with the old demon hunter wasn't exactly to create a new life, but through his special ability, he could transform the old man's soul into something greater than a spectre.

Even high-quality spectre, like those cast by Lothur, couldn't compare to what this old man would become as a result of the young Ritter's actions!

The old demon hunter felt his soul leave his body amid Lothur's high-level move, feeling no pain but feeling strange when he saw his mortally wounded body in front of him.

'This...'

As he floated out of his body, glowing a blinding white, his body decomposed under Lothur's skill. It quickly ceased to exist, leaving only his 10 Soul Bones behind.

'Sigh... And the legends say that once you reach the complete Spirit Body, you become immortal. What a joke!' Seeing how easily Lothur killed him, he couldn't help but remember the ancient legends of Concordia.

But the fully formed Spirit Body was only one of the requirements for attaining immortality, which didn't invalidate that legend!

In any case, immortality was no longer a possibility for this old expert of the Seraphim Church, who lost his body in less than a minute and saw his 10 Soul Bones enter Lothur's spatial ring.

When Lothur also placed the Darkness Scythe in his spatial ring, he completed the transformation of this man, keeping him conscious and looking much the same as before. 

The big difference between the current version of this Church member and his previous version was that not only did he no longer have the powers of his bones, but his body now looked somewhat transparent. But beyond that, there weren't many differences. His soul had only been weakened by 20%, and everything else was practically the same, from his sensations to his ability to think.

But he was weaker and couldn't go against Lothur's orders, something he couldn't escape after what had just happened.

However, he already knew that this would happen, and when he felt 'ready,' he couldn't help but feel he had lost less than he had thought.

"Thank you for sparing me, master. Do you have any orders for me?" He asked as he hovered in the air.

"No. Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't interfere with my plans. Even though you've become a spectre, you can make physical attacks, and you have the physical strength in your being. Get to know yourself better and then go after your goals." He said as he turned his back on the creature, already channeling his energies into the Space Crystal.

With four bones compatible with his women, it was time for him to check them out!

So, before the old man could say anything, Lothur disappeared, leaving him on that peak.

...

A few moments later, Lothur appeared a few miles from the headquarters of the Seraphim Church in Norid.

Arriving at the place where he had once thought he would only come to attack that organization, Lothur smiled as he saw how much his situation had changed in the past few months.

But he was in a hurry to find his women and quickly used his powerful aura to cover the entire city, finding their location in no time.

'I found you.' He moved, crossing space and the many defenses of the Seraphim Church on his way, while the local experts trembled with fear at the thought that the Demon Emperor had just entered the city.

"Shit! What's going on?" Thought the level 25 Sage who had stayed behind to protect this city and the women of Lothur.

But as this man moved in the same direction as Lothur, the four women in the seclusion of the Church's main temple realized someone powerful was approaching them.

'That feeling...' Viktoria opened her eyes as she sat in the lotus position, an exuberant smile forming on her beautiful face.

"Lothur!" Annaliese shouted as she realized who it was a second before they saw a silver-haired young man appear where they were standing.

"Lothur!" All four of them shouted at the same time as they saw and felt the presence of their man again, now many times stronger than the last time they had seen him a few months ago.

Back then, they had been separated because of that level 24 demon who was stronger than Lothur. 

But if they saw this Sage of the demon race again, these women were certain that Lothur could crush him without moving a finger!

They rushed to his side and hugged him, happy to see him again after so many worries.

Meanwhile, the level 25 Sage of the Church appeared in the place where Lothur's women were, along with other members of his Church.

"This..." One of the level 24 people who had moved with this level 25 elder found it strange how Lothur and his women were embracing each other.

A moment ago, they thought they were fighting to the death against the powerful invader of their headquarters. But then, all their thoughts were overturned by the reaction of this group of women.

"You..." The level 25 man realized who Lothur was, not imagining that a hybrid would enter this headquarters of his own free will.

But he would never dare to act against this powerful being that could already be compared to the Demon Emperor.

Lothur turned his attention away from his women and looked at this man. 'It's a pity that this Diamond-grade soul bone doesn't fit any of us...' He lamented. 

If it didn't, he would kill that man just like he killed the other level 25 sage of the Church.

Lothur then said. "My old enemies, don't worry about my passing through your headquarters. I'm only here to deliver something to my wives."

As he said this, Lothur revealed to his women the four Soul Bones, two of which had come from that 4th Sage of the Church.

When they saw this, the four women were astonished, not expecting Lothur to bring their next bones so quickly.

On the other hand, the Church members looked at two of those bones and quickly realized their origin.

"This Diamond-grade bone..." The level 25 Sage made a horrible face.

Lothur then announced. "Earlier, the Demon Emperor appeared in a city surrounded by demons. The former owner of two of these bones was there when I arrived..." He sighed, withholding some details but not lying. "Fortunately, I was able to save his Soul Bones."

"What?"
