Mixed Blessing System



This time the fusion of the Soul Bone with Lothur's body and spirit went much more smoothly than at other times.

This was not only a reflection of his strength that already put his body on the same level as the bone he was absorbing. It was also a reflection of his Soul power, something that was previously incomplete.

Now with that power fully complete and the fact that he already had three Soul Bones, meaning that his Spirit Body was already stronger than in the past, the Soul Bone absorption had to be easier.

So he didn't feel the same pain as at other times, and the whole absorption process had been even faster!

With that, after a few minutes in the headquarters of that now destroyed faction, Lothur opened his eyes and felt the improvements that bone brought him.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Soul Cultivation: level 18]

[Body Cultivation: level 18]

[STR: 582.6] [CON: 1,469.2] [DEX: 522.2] [AGI: 645.1]

[INT: 325.4] [PER: 660.1] [WIL: 504.7] [SOU: 371]

[EVF: 0]

'Still at the same level... However, I'm probably close to advancing to the 4th stage.' He smiled, feeling that he could regain his appearance soon and more, get enough to hide from Saints.

As his mother had told him, once he became a Saint, 4th-stage cultivators could not identify him even if he stood before them.

Only by using his bloodline ability could someone trace his position, but even with that, it would be difficult to find him after he moved.

Knowing how important this advancement would be for him to live in peace once he returned to Peters City, Lothur couldn't help but look forward to level 19.

But he knew it would still take him some time to achieve this, so he quickly focused on the present moment, asking the system to show him this new skill.

[Golden Armor] [Rank: Silver]

[Characteristics: ability related to the user's Soul. With it, the user can transform Soul power into armor capable of covering the entire body and increasing the user's defenses twice as much as if he was using Soul power directly to strengthen his constitution.]

[Progress: 69%]

Seeing this, Lothur immediately activated this ability, making a spirit armor gradually appear over his body.

After a few moments, every part of his body, including his eyes, was covered by an extremely dense and beautiful golden armor.

However, when it finished activating, all of it began to disappear, as if it were deactivating itself. But this was not happening. Instead, the armor was merely becoming transparent.

As it turned invisible, its spiritual fluctuations disappeared, and besides the user himself, no one else could notice it around his body.

Lothur realized this and imagined that he could use this ability well in the future.

'This is very good. I will be able to use it continuously in times of uncertainty, and no enemy in my vicinity will be able to hurt me with a surprise attack...' He considered.

'My Soul is still weak, but I'll fix that while I'm in this place... Once I leave here, this ability will become powerful!'

After standing in that ruined place for some time, where a lot of ash was piled up in the surroundings, Lothur stopped contemplating his own powers and looked at that area.

As he did so, he noticed many people watching in his direction, but he was not bothered by these people. No one in this city could stand up to him at his current level.

With that, it was time for him to actually dominate the Imperial Prison!

He had suffered at the hands of some powerful local leaders, so now he intended to visit each of them.

He smiled at the thought of the terror he would put these people through and opened his eyes, activating his visual ability. When he did so, he saw each of the inmates of this place as he looked for the strongest spiritual fluctuations.

As he did so, he soon identified each of the four leaders of the largest factions of this place still in existence.

When he saw his third one, Lothur suddenly noticed an aura he knew near that person.

"Rebecca? How is that possible? What is she doing here?" He wondered, seeing this woman trapped inside a cell.

After that, he took off in that direction!

...

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Wildflower Faction...

Rebecca was still trapped in the same place as before, but her fears had changed considerably from days ago.

Before, she was fearful about what the men of this faction would do to her. But with the incident involving Lothur, each of the strongest of this faction had exhausted themselves considerably and no longer had the strength to venture out with her.

Not only would their lives be at risk if they tried anything with her, as they were weak, but these men were also not interested in worldly pleasures. All that was on their minds was to regain their spiritual strength to kill the half-breed and fight for the Diamond-grade Soul Bone.

Therefore, each of them was cultivating diligently right now, and even with chaos spreading outside that building, they were not aware of Lothur's awakening.

But Rebecca was feeling the terrible spiritual fluctuations spreading throughout this city and couldn't help but look fearfully in the direction of where something seemed to have just happened.

'What's with this place? Who could be responsible for this?' She wondered, ignorant of her man's presence in this place.

But while she was thinking about that, Lothur appeared in front of that building with an ugly expression on his face.

He had already seen the condition of some of the women in the surrounding area, so he couldn't help but worry about Rebecca's situation.

"Fucking sons of bitches!" He said loudly, causing his voice to spread throughout the entire City of Darkness.

Amidst this, his Mortal Aura surged intensely, causing the darkness in the surroundings to intensify as those nearby began to feel fear.

At the level he was currently at, Lothur could make even the strongest people in this city piss themselves in fear with his Mortal Aura!

But he didn't simply stand still and soon stormed into that place without stopping for anything, soon reaching the room where the strongest of that faction were standing near Rebecca's cell.

"I'm going to kill all of you!" He said as he made each of those men open their eyes and see him there.

Gulp!

"Lothur?" Rebecca noticed the tone of this elderly man's voice and questioned in incomprehension.
