Mixed Blessing System



When Lothur arrived where Viktoria and Larissa were almost passed out, only two meters away from the many beasts and spectres in their vicinity, all the creatures there looked in his direction.

Not because of his presence, since Lothur did not display such a powerful aura without activating the abilities of his Soul Bones and his bloodline. But because of those three slaves of his running through the tunnels after him.

But seeing Lothur there, those creatures immediately turned part of their attention to him, feeling strange, for an opponent that could not be fathomed was very dangerous.

Lothur saw that Viktoria and Larissa were fine, although bruised and exhausted. So he moved, determined to act to end this situation quickly.

As he moved, he fired a laser beam toward the beast's head nearest him, killing that creature by melting that part of its body.

Instantly, the level 16 spectres in the vicinity, horrid and cruel semi-transparent beings, looked at him uglily and began to move in his direction.

Lothur could exterminate them by letting them invade his body, as he had done months ago when he was with Annaliese in the Finn Mountains.

But he preferred to test the evolution of his second Soul Bone, the Black Flames ability!

So, as he moved to stand next to Viktoria and Larissa, black flames appeared in his hands, and soon after, pulses began to rise from them.

When these pulses that only spectral creatures could feel started, all the spectres in the surroundings began to suffer as if they were feeling shocks through their bodies.

The beasts in the surroundings got out of control of these beings but continued to act violently, feeling their instincts.

Because of this, when the three slaves of Lothur arrived in that final chamber of this underground area, they immediately considered these beings as enemies and began to fight.

The three of them could ignore pain, unlike these beasts. So being powerful soul cultivators, they soon began to push those creatures in a way that Viktoria and Larissa hadn't been able to until then.

"Uh? Those three... Why are those three with Lothur?" Larissa breathlessly asked as she leaned on Viktoria to keep herself from falling.

Viktoria could see the situation more clearly and also knew her man well. So she understood what was happening immediately. "They are not with Lothur. He is controlling them to fight on his behalf."

"That..." That white-haired woman opened her mouth in shock, seeing that Lothur could do such a thing even against people almost as strong as her!

'Has he reached that level?'

Viktoria then smiled and asked. "Lothur, have you advanced a stage?"

Viktoria could feel that Lothur was faster. His abilities coming from his Soul Bones seemed more refined, and his appearance looked slightly different, a sign of a marrow cleansing.

Lothur confirmed the suspicions of this brown-haired woman. "Yes, I am currently a Soul Core Transcendent!"

"What?" Larissa was shocked once again, feeling surpassed by this man.

As for Viktoria, she didn't mind being surpassed by her husband. But, the opposite of that, she was delighted and couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as she finally relaxed.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, and thank you for coming to our rescue." She said, sitting down where she was.

Meanwhile, the spectres in the surroundings had finally stopped moving. At the same time, half of the previously agitated beasts had died at the hands of those three fearless men.

They had been considerably injured in this confrontation with these creatures. However, they were still fighting to ensure the end of all enemies there.

Lothur stopped paying attention to those two women and focused on the spectres suffering for his ability.

'Time for you to accept your new master!' He said in his mind as the black flames brought those beings into his domain.

Some of them were still trying to rebel, but after a few seconds, they were all practically in Lothur's hands for him to do whatever he wanted.

When they were all controlled, suddenly Lothur felt something strange, like a mental connection with these spectral beings.

"Uh?" His eyebrows drew together as he felt the pain and remorse of those creatures.

Amidst this, he could feel some of what was in the minds of these beings.

'The gate... Broken is... The gate... is...'

'Release them! Release the... Evil us... Freedom...'

'No... They are in us...'

But those creatures' feelings and thoughts were chaotic, full of regret and hatred, unable to answer the doubts in Lothur's heart.

The only thing he could feel was that there was something wrong with these spectral creatures, which should have some mental capacity to maintain even slightly sensible thoughts.

These creatures looked broken, incomplete, or even damaged. Naturally, this made Lothur immediately think that something was wrong.

He tried to communicate with these creatures and make them speak more clearly, but he didn't have much success. Even when these spectres became his slaves, they continued to emit incomprehensible sensations to Lothur.

After more than a minute of trying to understand the situation, Lothur finally gave up and made those creatures enter his body.

[15 level 16 spectres detected in the host's body...]

[Exterminate?]

'Yes!'

"Atchim!" He sneezed hard while a white, dense vapor, full of energy and laws, left his mouth, glowing brightly as if on fire.

Larissa and Viktoria saw that for the first time and opened their eyes wide, seeing how Lothur had exterminated so many of these beings so quickly.

'How is that possible?' Lothur's associate wondered.

But when she felt what was coming out of Lothur, she immediately tried to absorb it!

That white mist, although it looked disgusting because it came out of him, was the condensation of all those beings' remaining understanding before they were annihilated!

Since spectres were beings of only mental attributes, this was highly positive for soul cultivators like her and Viktoria.

Only Lothur couldn't absorb that because of his current situation.

'It seems that higher level spectres can release useful things to cultivators when exterminated...' Lothur realized this as he saw those two women starting to cultivate to recover.

During this moment, he sighed and stored his doubts in his mind to resolve them in the future.

As he looked at the beasts in the surrounding area and his slaves, Lothur saw that two of them had died, and only the strongest, a young man from the Leopoldine family, was left to face the last beast.

He saw that fellow in front of that remaining beast and did not hesitate!

Laser Vision!

Two red light beams came from Lothur's eyes, pierced the chest of that slave, and then struck the body of the remaining beast in that area, killing two in one movement.

With this attack, the battle there was finally over!
