Mixed Blessing System

When the burning beam of light shot out of Lothur's eyes, Larissa barely had time to move, only making a defensive motion with her arms.

She did this, causing a screen of green energy to appear in front of her, like a sheet of steel to protect her.

That was Larissa's Soul Bone ability, which could project shields around her body, with the power limited by her soul force.

Because of this, the moment the red light hit that thing, it didn't melt immediately but was only gradually eroded.

Larissa realized that even with her soul powers, she couldn't withstand Lothur's blow and moved to deflect it while keeping that shield upright.

Sss!

She moved a few inches before Lothur's laser beam went through the thing, missing her right shoulder only to 'graze' the skin on her upper right arm.

Larissa expressed pain as she fell to her left side, already manipulating her energies to undo her previous shield and strengthen her spiritual armor.

Meanwhile, she ordered the various energy fish in her surroundings to attack Lothur, hoping to make at least this associate of hers feel some pain.

Lothur saw that his first move went wrong and ignored the energy fish with sharp teeth approaching him. He stopped near Larissa and moved one of his open hands, striking horizontally toward her face.

He had one leg in front, the other a little behind, supporting him to move his arms, making palm strikes with his open hand.

His hands were covered in the black flames of his Soul Bone ability, and each time he moved his hands, the air seemed to shift, creating pressure in the opposite direction.

Vuup!

He made the second move and made the air move in such a way that when it missed its target and hit the wooden floor of that platform, the wood where it hit cracked!

Gulp!

Some onlookers saw this and opened their eyes wider, seeing how powerful a palm strike from Lothur already was.

If only the air moved by his fists could damage the floor of the fighting stage, then how powerful wouldn't his punch be?

After three movements, Lothur formed a palm of dark flames that flew in the direction of his movements along with the displaced air.

Sss!

Larissa saw this and tried to move on the ground to dodge Lothur's merciless attacks.

Meanwhile, the energy fish created by her finally reached Lothur, biting his body in several parts.

However, Lothur's skin was so tough while the Steel Body was active that these energy beings couldn't even scratch him!

Only Lothur's clothes were being ruined by these creatures, as they were not tough enough due to the rules of fighting.

On the other hand, Larissa could not regret her waste of energy on those creatures unable to hurt Lothur. All she could do now was move as best she could to avoid the opponent's attacks.

Lothur's palm strikes were very strong, and with those black flames, she knew that if hit, she would somehow be doubly weakened.

'Damn!

I didn't expect that!' She lamented, feeling that it was a shame. After being the strongest in the academy for so long, she had found someone she couldn't beat!

She had tried hard to prevent Lothur from surpassing her, but his strength was abnormal. His body was so strong that she could not hurt young Ritter, even using all her soul power.

To achieve this, someone would have to be at level 16, a level Larissa was far from reaching!

In this situation, she realized she could not beat this opponent, no matter how hard she tried.

He was faster, tougher, and more agile, and his every attack could hurt her. Thus, as she lost energy, Larissa slowly began to slow down, being hit by Lothur's first full blows.

"Ahhhh!" She let out a cry of pain after 4 minutes of fighting, feeling some of her bones cracking as the dark energy in the form of flames invaded her body.

Realizing this, she put all her attention into protecting her mind, leaving her fleshy body vulnerable.

Gulp!

'So that was it...' She broke into a cold sweat as she realized Lothur's skill of manipulation, which was trying to corrupt her mind and make her obey him. Through this, she understood the situation of the Baier family competitor who had killed a family member and then died from his serious injuries.

Amid this situation, Lothur increased the difficulty of the fight for Larissa a bit and stopped attacking her from afar to get closer to this woman and strike her body.

He stopped in front of her without her even preparing to defend or retreat and punched in the direction of her belly, ready to end this fight.

Pow!

Lothur made a quick move, but less potent than Elke's, just enough to knock his opponent out.

Larissa lost all attention to the dark energy trying to eat away at her mental structures. Her eyes widened as she opened her mouth, and blood poured out of it.

Almost immediately, she lost consciousness, beginning to fall toward the ground.

Lothur had won the match!

"Wow!"

"Lothur really is a monster!"

"Yes, I don't think even the principal is at his level!"

"He could easily be considered the strongest in the province!"

Students who liked Lothur, partly because of the cars, began to chat simultaneously, quickly raising the noise around that arena.

Meanwhile, he stopped his opponent from falling to the ground just before the match referee declared his victory.

"Contestant Lothur Ritter wins this battle and remains in competition for the Soul Bone and the spot in the Secret Realm of Sector 6!"

With that settled, Lothur smiled in satisfaction, one step closer to achieving his goals in this competition.

He then left Larissa with the high-level members of Angelic Feather, preparing to return home and get ready for the next day.

With that settled, by the end of tomorrow, he could get stronger by absorbing another Soul Bone!

'I just hope this Soul Bone isn't one of the ones I already have...' He thought to himself as he walked towards his women.

But seeing Annaliese and Elke, he sighed. 'Well, even if it is a bone I already have, I can exchange mine with one of the ones they will get.'

So Lothur, Annaliese, and Elke would soon join Viktoria, then leave for their home to continue training.

But not only that, tomorrow the Ritter Motor Company transport business opening would occur in the morning, something they had to attend.

For his best preparation, Lothur would not go on a mission tonight but would only focus on caring for his women and training his skills!
