Mixed Blessing System

Orange flames covered Lothur's surroundings as if the air were a sea of flames of more than 20 cubic meters, causing the enemies to move further away from him while using their defenses.

The first pieces of the Demon Emperor's skeletons burned under Lothur's power, while Gravity prevented them from moving.

As the Demon Emperor felt Lothur's power crush and burn some of his skeletons, he glared at the young Ritter, realizing he had let this hybrid go too far.

But fortunately, this demon's opponent was not yet invincible.

'Damn, you. You've already reached the level where you can threaten me.' The strongest demon in the world thought as he landed dozens of meters away from Lothur, forming seals with his hands.

Shifting his spiritual energy to his main ability, he increased the darkness around him, causing various spatial distortions to form around the area where Lothur had just massacred a city.

As the darkness and flames spread, an army of skeletons began to appear in this area of Demon Island, with hundreds of long-dead demonic beings rising up to fight.

Sounds that frightened even powerful experts emanated from the surrounding area as the Demon Emperor's men moved away from Lothur and their leader.

The Demon Emperor's power was so terrible that it didn't distinguish between allies and enemies. It sought to corrupt everything and everyone and was even capable of destroying life in the soil it passed through, killing plants and microorganisms.

This power was so negative that it could even make planting impossible in certain areas forever!

For this reason, the high-ranking Sages who were there to fight Lothur moved cautiously, not only with the enemy's movements but also with their leader's.

While fending off Lothur's flames and their leader's darkness, they also used their offensive skills, launching attacks in the direction of their target.

Their goal was not to kill Lothur, for they had no chance of doing so. They wanted to distract the enemy long enough for their leader to deal a fatal blow.

The Demon Emperor had the power to do that, which is why these men were actively moving and attacking Lothur, trying to limit the enemy's room for maneuvering and drawing his attention to the movements of the strongest demon in the area.

"This is an interesting power, Demon Emperor. But can it defeat me?" Lothur asked as he moved into the darkness of the skeletons closest to him, causing not only the strongest demon in the area to doubt his actions but also causing everyone there to pay attention to his unlikely move.

While the Demon Emperor looked at Lothur doubtfully, bringing one of his hands close to the diabolical energy of a level 26 skeleton, Lothur smiled as he covered his dominant hand with a special energy.

"Witness the power of decomposition!" He said aloud as he finally touched the skull of the level 26 being.

The Demon Emperor's power was of the necromancer type. He could bring dead creatures back to the world with their bodies, giving them practically the same level of power as when they were alive.

However, if the Demon Emperor wanted, he could make some of his overpowered corpses display higher powers than those beings had before they died!

Of course, he couldn't increase the power of all of his skeletons, but some of his summoned ones could display levels similar to his own!

When the Demon Emperor and his men saw Lothur touch the head of this level 26 skeleton, they opened their mouths in shock and watched anxiously to see what would happen.

Logic would say that the Demon Emperor's special darkness should invade Lothur's body, something that would make him squirm and even lose control of himself.

Demons and hybrids had an affinity for darkness, but that didn't mean they were immune to all darkness!

Since the Demon Emperor was born with a special variation of the element, his darkness could be considered poison to all demons in the world, justifying Lothur's downfall there.

But nothing happened to the silver-haired young man when Lothur touched the skeleton shrouded in darkness.

The next moment, the skeleton broke free from the Demon Emperor's control before its bones and darkness were reduced to elemental particles invisible to the naked eye.

"Impossible!" The Demon Emperor shouted in disbelief.

"Is that so?" Lothur laughed as he heard the sounds of several demons swallowing their saliva.

An even more evil smile formed on Lothur's face as he thought of something and moved over to where two level 25 skeletons were "trapped" under his orange flames.

Fusion!

He decided to test his latest skill on the Demon Emperor's power, curious to see the result.

Not feeling threatened by the level of his opponents' power, Lothur decided to act more freely with the dominant side, the one that would dictate the pace of the confrontation.

The difference in their strengths was not great, but he had more skills in his favor to put himself in such a position of superiority!

"Shit!"

Feeling something strange in his spine, the Demon Emperor shouted. "Attack with everything! Don't hesitate! Plan C! Plan C!"

The demons had agreed on two plans when they came to this place. One was Plan A, which their leader would handle alone against the enemy, and the other was Plan B, which they would follow before their leader's call.

But Plan C... They had never talked about it, which meant only one thing!

'Shit! We're in trouble!' One of the strongest men there thought to himself as he realized that not even their leader was confident, and it was time for them to go all out before they ran!

They all circulated their energies to the maximum and prepared their final attacks against Lothur.

Meanwhile, the young Ritter felt forces forming around him that were threatening even to him, but he completed the final stage of the fusion he was performing.

This time, his fusion didn't fail, and soon, the golden, semi-transparent cauldron before him glowed brightly with the formation of an entirely new creature.

Just as the enemy attacks were about to hit him, Lothur saw the result of his fusion!
