Mixed Blessing System

“Place that necklace on the tomb in front of you, human. This place is where my master should rest and the spot that should be the strongest in the seal if he had been buried here.” The beast said. “He was not buried here, so this is the weakest point.

If your item works, we will soon be surrounded by Nascent Soul Transcendent spectres and beasts manipulated by them.”

“OK,” Lothur said, seeing no problem facing some spectral beings.

That insect noticed the absence of fear in this human, even though it itself was not so sure it would be safe to stay there.

It and the other powerful beasts of the Secret Realm didn’t understand what exactly was happening in this place. There shouldn’t be so many spectres, even considering the slaughter of millennia ago.

But the Secret Realm was full of these shadow creatures, and some of them could even threaten level 17 beings like it. So what they were about to do there was dangerous, and this insect was nervous.

As Lothur was about to place it on Steven Peters’ grave, it asked. “Aren’t you afraid? If this item works, we will have to flee immediately.” It wanted to know this human’s plans before there was no turning back if it really worked.

Lothur noticed the creature’s nervousness and said. “Rest assured. I am the nemesis of all spectres and demons!”

An awkward silence came after Lothur’s words as the skies seemed to grow darker and the temperature in the surroundings decreased.

The insect said nothing more. Instead, it just braced itself as it watched Lothur place that item above its master’s tomb.

When Lothur dropped that necklace on top of the tomb, terrifying sounds immediately arose in the cemetery’s surroundings as if something in the depths of that area was in agony.

The mere presence of this artifact began to agitate the many spectres and the remnants of demons in the area.

In a matter of seconds, several spectral creatures appeared in the surroundings, with their hideous bodies and extremely deformed faces.

Their screams were strange, the kind that no living being could replicate but that was capable of alerting any living soul.

Lothur and the insect immediately looked away from that tomb, seeing more than two dozen level 17 creatures appear in the area, staring at them uglily.

“It seems that this item does indeed work!” That creature was satisfied with this but also eager to get out of there.

The fact that it worked was great, as its group could do business with Lothur and gain something new to strengthen the seals over the Secret Realm. But this meant that now it and Lothur would be pursued by creatures capable of killing them!

As soon as it realized what was happening, it made up its mind and said. “Human, take the item. Let’s leave immediately.”

But Lothur said. “We’d better take care of them while they are here. If we take them to the underground area where we are going, their people will be in greater danger than here.”

“If we stay here, we will die!” The insect said in an agitated manner.

Lothur smiled and activated his second Soul Bone ability.

Dark Flames!

When those dark flames appeared, Lothur immediately made every spectral being in the area look at him. ｂ𝚎ｄｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

None of those beings could see the insect beside Lothur anymore. All that was in their ‘hearts’ was this human emitting energy that frightened them all.

These beings had their senses and naturally cherished their freedom. As such, the moment they sensed the aura of someone who wanted to dominate and enslave them, they considered Lothur a danger to their existence.

After looking deadly at him, more than a dozen spectres flew toward him, making the insect beside Lothur tremble with fear.

“Damn it! Human, what shall we do now?”

“Stay where you are. I will annihilate them.” Lothur said, standing in the same position, waiting for these beings to try to possess him.

These spectres did not know what he was capable of, and their natural instinct was to control others through possession.

When they saw this being who at the same time threatened them but also had no spiritual fluctuations, these spectral beings soon began to enter his body.

Lothur did nothing at first, making the system take longer to annihilate those creatures so he could draw as many of them into his body as possible.

The insect watched this with wide eyes, trembling with fear, as it saw the human beside it being invaded by 15 spectral beings.

But just when it thought this human would lose control of himself and become an enemy, Lothur sneezed before white mist, rich in energy and laws, left every pore of his body.

That mist was so intense that for more than 15 seconds straight, it kept coming out of Lothur’s body until the surrounding 20 meters away from him was completely covered by it.

‘What?’ The beast didn’t understand what was happening, but it realized that one way or another, Lothur not only exterminated the enemies that entered his body but frightened everyone else in the surroundings.

Even the demonic remnants in that area stopped getting agitated as if fearing the person present in that graveyard.

After a few more seconds, Lothur opened his eyes and looked at that beast, showing that he was still the same.

“Now we can leave. They won’t chase us, and your people can use this place to grow stronger.” He smiled, feeling that this was compensation for the deaths he had caused.

Lothur had nothing against these beasts from the Secret Realm. In fact, after hearing the history of this place, he even felt sympathy for them. So he exterminated these spectral beings both to ease his path and to help these beings in some way.

He didn’t feel sorry for what he had done. But he was fully capable of helping these beings and was not against compensation.

So after his words, he took Viktoria’s necklace and climbed on the back of that insect that was still shocked by the events.

“How did you do that? I’ve never heard of anyone who can annihilate spectral beings like that!” It said after it left there, returning to the area it had departed from earlier.

“I don’t know. I was born that way.” Lothur replied, smiling, for in a way, that was true. “By all means, fly fast. I want to absorb what’s in the leaf of that labyrinth as fast as possible.”
