Mixed Blessing System



As he faced his 100 slaves, the only ones standing in this prison, Lothur felt the awe and wonder in the hearts of these people.

They still had part of their freedom to think for themselves, so some naturally couldn't help but feel a little afraid of him.

He had reached level 20, but what if he wanted to advance further by using them as his next victims?

But most there were more confident that they would not be used in the same way as the hundreds of inmates of this prison who died at the hands of Lothur.

Which was better? To have the highest level possible alone or to have a slightly lower level but several helpers?

As much as being the strongest possible was preferable in many situations, not having anyone to work for you would force you to do everything yourself.

So even specialists usually had helpers to fulfill less difficult tasks in their places as they preferred not to waste their time getting involved.

Several people there felt that they were the people who would do the missions that Lothur had no interest in doing, so seeing him at level 20, they were not at all concerned about their safety.

The opposite of that, in general, they were thrilled, as they would have a better future as their master grew stronger.

Lothur then said. "Get ready. In the next few days, we will leave this place once and for all. I already have everything prepared, and I need you to move according to my plans."

Upon hearing this, these people felt anxious, for most had been there for decades and had long wished they could cultivate in the outside world once again.

"What should we do, master?" A middle-aged man asked.

"I will manipulate the space once we leave the area protected by the formations of this prison. At that time, all of you should move as close as possible to me and contain the spiritual fluctuations within your bodies.

I will make our group invisible to the guards of this prison as we reach one of the forests near this area." He saw that these people fully agreed with this and would follow his words without difficulty.

Lothur continued. "After that, we will pass two places before we go to Peters City. One is in a forest near where we are, and the other is near the capital of Leopoldine."

"Near the capital?" The oldest of those people asked. "Master, would it really be good for us to do that? The risk of being noticed in that area will be very great."

Lothur replied. "It is worth the risk. I heard a rumor before I came here that in this place, there is something that interests me a lot. If I obtain it, I will become even more powerful!"

Risks without good reason would always make people question the actions taken by their leaders and comrades. But if there were a great prize behind such a thing, then few would question it!

The man who asked understood the great purpose behind this visit to such a dangerous area and said no more.

"After this, I will leave you in Peters City under the control of my women. I intend to leave afterward on a trip to the north, so I won't be able to take you all with me. At most, I can take one or two to assist me in some matters."

"Please, master, let me serve you on this trip." A woman stepped forward and asked, being the quickest to try to take advantage of this opportunity.

The others in the surrounding area clenched their fists upon hearing her offer herself so readily, cursing their slowness.

Lothur then said. "I will decide that before I leave Peters City. But I warn you that I will not necessarily take the strongest of you but rather those who could best help me on the journey...

That's all for now!" He said as he felt Rebecca would finish absorbing her second Soul Bone a little earlier than he had anticipated.

After sensing this, he disappeared in front of these people, momentarily leaving them still on their knees in the surrounding area while no one else was among them.

...

Upon returning to Rebecca's side, Lothur saw the final part of the absorption of that Soul Bone, noticing her Spirit Body becoming stronger as her attributes rose.

[Name: Rebecca Böttger]

[Soul Cultivation: level 15]

[Body Cultivation: level 15]

[STR: 138.6] [CON: 595.4] [DEX: 145.8] [AGI: 145.1]

[INT: 286.8] [PER: 157.3] [WIL: 180.2] [SOU: 222.6]

After a few moments, she finished absorbing that bone, and her attributes stabilized at those new values.

Rebecca was still at level 15 in both soul and body cultivation. However, Lothur was satisfied with her progress, as she was now at about similar values for her attributes as his other women.

Only her Constitution was a little higher since she and he had been having fun in this prison while the others were out of Lothur's reach.

But in a short stint in Peters City, he felt that he could easily fix this and leave them with more or less similar values in this characteristic.

In any case, even though she didn't advance in level, Rebecca was at the peak of the 2nd stage and would probably advance before Lothur said goodbye to her once again.

That was good enough for him!

As soon as she opened her eyes, he went over to her smiling to hug her and say a few more words of congratulations.

But before he could say anything, she felt his cultivation. "You have advanced again? Impressive!"

"Well, I have advanced, but I will probably stay as I am for quite a while.

When I leave the Imperial Prison, I won't be able to use my bloodline casually, or I will draw the attention of powerful enemies... So you'd better get used to it. I'll stay with the current cultivation for a certain period." He laughed as he played with her little waist.

Rebecca smiled at him and joked. "Good... If you keep advancing, even our world can't handle you. Just imagine the world dying because of you?"

"It wouldn't come to that..." He said before directing his lips to hers and taking her on his lap.

Rebecca didn't resist, happily accepting Lothur's fierce advance, eager to celebrate their improvements a little.

She then ran her hands down the buttons of his clothes and her own, helping her man with what he was starting.

...

After hours of fun with Rebecca and the preparation of his men, Lothur was finally ready to begin his escape from the Imperial Prison!

With mid-afternoon approaching, he and his people were just waiting for nightfall to begin!
