Mixed Blessing System

“Annaliese…” Mabel looked at her daughter and noticed she was not home. “Where are we?” She asked in a somewhat weakened tone.

Even though she was almost fully recovered from her healing injuries, she was quite weakened after days without eating and a long time in a coma.

Annaliese felt her eyes watery and knelt beside her mother’s bed. “Mother… Mother, we are in the Ritter family home. We had abandoned our property because of the spectres in that place.”

“Spectres?” She opened her eyes more meaningfully. “And Aiken?”

“Fath… Father died. We extinguished the spectre inside him, but it was too late.” She said with heaviness in her heart, barely able to speak properly due to mucus forming in her airways.

Hearing the confirmation of what she already knew, Mabel remembered the fight of days ago, when she had felt that creature had evolved after consuming all of Aiken’s soul.

She closed her eyes, and tears dripped from them.

“Where is your sister? What happened after that?” She asked with her eyes still closed, feeling her heart beating faster.

“She is here. She’s fine.” Annaliese said before turning her face toward the door and shouting. “Viktoria, our mother is awake. Come over here!”

As Viktoria headed over there, Annaliese briefly summarized what had happened after Mabel passed out. “After the end of the battle that day, Viktoria led the family out of our old headquarters and merged our family with House Ritter.

Eventually, Lothur returned stronger from his escape and eliminated all the spectres in our old house. He was the one who healed you, Mother.”

Upon hearing such a thing, Mabel opened her eyes and saw that her youngest daughter was not deceiving her.

‘Lothur who saved me?’ She felt extremely ashamed to hear this.

But the pain of losing her husband and waking up from days in a coma was too great for her to think much about it now.

At that instant, Viktoria appeared in the doorway of that room, running to where her mother was still lying.

“Mother!”

“Viktoria, thank you for caring for the family in your father’s absence. I’m sure you did your best.” She said as she saw her eldest daughter, confident that this girl had had a hard time.

“Hmm…”

“So, tell me how your father’s funeral went. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend.” She said with sadness in her voice. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

“We haven’t done that yet, mother. We were expecting you.”

“I see… Then we will prepare for everything to be done. Your father deserves a big funeral and then to be buried in the family treasure.” She said as she straightened up in that bed, feeling a bit of difficulty in doing so.

Noticing such a thing, she frowned and looked inside herself, feeling that the energy in her body was not moving correctly.

Then she noticed that she couldn’t send her soul force to her hands and part of her legs.

Noticing this, she felt her heart beating faster and readily understood that she was crippled.

Mabel could still use her soul in many different ways, but she could no longer transfer her powers to essential parts of her body for activating techniques.

Even though she couldn’t be compared to a mortal at the moment, her combat proficiency should be more or less similar to that of someone like that, even though she was at the peak of level 16.

Realizing this, she closed her eyes and sighed.

Viktoria saw this and immediately explained. “Mother, Lothur said some of your spiritual nerves have broken. For now, he can’t do anything for you, but he has promised to keep trying to find a solution.”

Mabel smiled upon hearing this, knowing that this promise was of no value since there was no way for spiritual nerves to be regenerated. “Then I thank him…”

But then she realized a problem. “But shouldn’t he be on the run? That… Don’t tell me he’s the hybrid wanted by the Church?”

When she said that, Lothur appeared in that room, looking significantly into her eyes.

His level 20 cultivation was fully on display, making Mabel stop looking at her daughters to pay attention to him.

Viktoria and Annaliese looked at Lothur in surprise and listened to him.

“Mabel, I hope you will keep this a secret. After all, I saved your life, cleaned the Frost family headquarters, and still eliminated the spectre inside your husband’s body.” He said in a solemn tone, looking at that woman he didn’t like at all.

Gulp!

‘Celestial Saint!’ She shouted in her mind, feeling the terror of Lothur’s soul power.

‘How? How is that possible? He didn’t have any soul cultivation before!’ She looked at him with wide eyes and open mouth, totally incredulous.

“Lothur, my mother will not betray you.” Viktoria moved closer to him, feeling that this was unnecessary.

“I hope so. For we would all be harmed if she does the opposite of that.” He said, looking at that woman.

If she hadn’t had her future ruined and hadn’t just lost her husband, Lothur would honestly beat the crap out of her and take revenge for everything that had happened.

But he couldn’t do that to this woman after all she and his women had been through.

“I understand… I know you have no reason to trust me, Lothur, but I would never talk about something that could harm my daughters.” She said as she looked at him, feeling less weakened now that such a colossal problem had arisen before her.

At that moment, her survival instinct had kicked in, and she could only do her best to at least save her daughters from the persecution of the Seraphim Church.

‘After everything that has already happened, there is no way we can disassociate ourselves from you.’ She thought, considering the baby growing in her daughter’s belly, and sighed.

However, looking at Annaliese’s body, she realized this woman was no longer pregnant.

‘I see… Anna has lost her baby.’ She didn’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

What would come of his and Annaliese’s mixed bloodlines?

But as she thought about what her daughter had gone through, she couldn’t help but grieve for Annaliese, for this girl had certainly significantly suffered from her loss.

“Don’t worry, Lothur. All I want now is to stay by my daughters’ side and bury my husband.”

“It will be better for everyone,” Lothur remarked before leaving there, returning to his work.
