Mixed Blessing System

After looking fearfully at his older brother, Lars didn’t take long and soon screamed in pain, feeling his brother’s power.

Daemon didn’t intend to kill this person so as not to anger the old man. But he would leave Lars incapacitated for at least a few months with that day’s action.

Lars had crossed the line with Lothur, and now that young man had no home to call his own, for the Church would persecute him for the rest of his life.

If he had not been arrested in Peters City, Daemon’s men would have been able to warn him of what would happen, and they could have moved him to the Three Great Lakes Region and kept him safe there.

But with Lothur’s arrest, he had been exposed and forced to flee alone, with no chance of returning, as the Church would control that state’s borders from now on.

If he wanted to return to this place in the future, the Church would understand!

So Lothur’s life now was to flee across the continent, and at least in the short term, he could not return home!

‘Lars, that’s for getting in the way of my son’s life for months!’ Daemon landed more and more blows on his level 16 brother’s body, causing that man’s screams to reach the remotest depths of this imperial palace.

But this memorable beating would not last long. After only four minutes since his reunion with his brother, Daemon saw his teleportation formation signaling its activation.

“Sigh… Time to go.” He dropped Lars’ bloodied body and prepared to leave.

At that instant, an old man with silver hair like his appeared in that place, glaring at Daemon.

“Old man, the next time I visit you, it will be at your funeral.”

Those were Daemon’s last words before he disappeared from the area without the emperor being able to do anything against him.

As powerful as he was, the emperor was not omnipotent and had his limitations.

Acting against an already activated teleportation formation was difficult, so he just watched his eldest son depart the area helplessly.

“Daemon!” He shouted so that the entire imperial palace shook at his voice.

Unfortunately for the imperial family group, at this instant, all of Daemon’s men had already left after accomplishing their objectives there.

As the old emperor roared, one of his trusted men appeared near him with an ugly expression on his face. “Your Majesty, I fear I bring bad news…”

“Worse than Daemon’s visit? What is it?” That man looked at that level 18 elder, the same as him and his eldest son.

The Supreme Elder of that family closed his eyes and said. “The damned Daemon distracted us well this time.

His goal here was not to scare the princes! While he was confronting Lars, one of his men stole the Blood Crystal!”

“What?” The emperor opened his eyes wide upon hearing this, for the Blood Crystal was a mineral loaded with power that, if combined with a suitable weapon, could even help produce a Platinum-grade item!

The imperial family of this state did not have a decent weapon, but rumors said Daemon and his group did have one of those!

After thinking about it, the emperor couldn’t help but be shocked by this information that could change his state!

“Damn it! How did you people allow this?” He shouted at that man, not understanding how after a few weeks since he had gone into seclusion, so many things had gotten out of hand for something like this to happen.

“Well…”

That old fellow soon began to explain to his leader the family’s concerns about Lothur, the death of experts, and the princes’ mistakes in their movements.

…

Meanwhile, Daemon and his group reappeared at an altar in the Three Great Lakes Region, all of them with smiles on their faces.

“Did you make it?” Daemon looked at that man who had stormed the imperial palace next to him.

Everyone else looked at him, too, as he smiled mysteriously.

But after a moment, a red stone, the size of a human head, appeared in his hands, and the surroundings began to become chaotic due to that violent energy.

“Hehe, are you doubting my stealth skills?”

After seeing that, each person took a deeper breath, feeling that their plans could advance a few more steps with that thing.

‘If our theories are right, even high-level Saints will have to be careful against the bearer of this weapon…’

…

The next day…

News of Lothur’s escape had finally reached Peters City, where the local powers tried to continue their affairs in his absence.

With this news, some did not know whether to celebrate or lament such a thing, as doubt about Lothur being a half-breed would increase with his escape.

If he was in prison, the people of the Church could easily tell whether or not he was that dreadful creature. If he wasn’t, then if one day he returned from that place, everything would be fine.

If he were, he would die, and they would no longer have to worry about the matter. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But while some were disturbed by his escape, the women of Lothur were happier than ever to find out about it.

If he had escaped, he would find a way to find them again sooner or later!

With this in mind, at the beginning of this new day, they went ahead with their plans, starting the hiring of mercenaries by the Ritter family.

Outside the second factory of the Ritter Motor Company, a place still under construction, hundreds of mercenaries from all over the province were there to participate in this occasion.

The news that the Ritter family would be hiring had spread throughout the province quickly, and many people interested in getting full-time jobs had come to this place.

Viktoria, Elke, and Annaliese were in the courtyard of that place around a small camp when one of them gave the order for the men to open the gates to that place.

With that, the filtering of possible candidates for the first members of the Ritter family army finally began!

This process would not be so demanding, but not everyone who wanted to could join the Ritter family.

By the end of that afternoon, Viktoria would have the first group of Ritter family soldiers under her command!
