Mixed Blessing System

‘So they’re after me… I probably killed their young master inside the Imperial Prison.’ Lothur realized the problem and was momentarily silent.

But then he said. “What are you people going to do with this person?”

Those people observed how defensive Lothur was about this and immediately came to the conclusion that they could not be sincere.

“We just want to find out what happened to our young master.” Their leader said in a low voice.

“That won’t do,” Lothur commented, tightening his fingers behind his back. “Why don’t you guys go back where you came from? Your young master is dead and cannot be brought back. Nothing will change that.”

One of the three did not like to hear such a thing and showed his irritation. “That’s impossible! Even if we don’t get the truth now, more people will come looking for it!

Senior, I advise you not to get involved. Even this entire state is at risk if we don’t get our answers.”

“Oh? Are you threatening me?” Lothur looked directly into that person’s eyes, causing him to immediately stop that approach.

The Celestial Saint of the group stepped in front of his companion and said to Lothur. “Demon Hunter, you are strong, but there are three of us. On the other hand, even if you can defeat us, our family will not stop.

The opposite of that, if we die seeking revenge, the whole family will turn against this empire!”

“Really? You shouldn’t threaten me like that…” Lothur’s eyes sparkled, slowly turning red. “Well then, let me tell you this, I killed your young master and gave his item to that man you seek.

So? What are you going to do?”

“You? Impossible!”

They refused to believe it, for their young master would never get involved with someone so much stronger than him.

On the other hand, it was somewhat obvious that Lothur was trying to protect the person they were looking for.

The three then prepared to attack, feeling they would have no chance to talk to this Celestial Saint.

However, Lothur was faster!

Laser Vision!

The activation of Soul Bone skills was much faster than that of techniques.

In the blink of an eye, Lothur’s eyes turned as red as the lava of an erupting volcano, shooting toward the strongest of this group.

Such a thing happened too fast, and that man had almost no time to dodge.

But like a Celestial Saint, he managed to change the position of his body enough for the attack to miss his heart to hit his shoulder.

“Aaagh!”

But such an attack was still brutal to take!

The moment he was hit, the laser beam pierced through his left shoulder, leaving behind in his shoulder a hole capable of containing a closed fist.

“Fucking bastard!”

The other two shouted as they turned away from their leader, noting how monstrous this attack was.

If it were against them, they would be dead now!

Their luck was that there was someone stronger than them there that Lothur was prioritizing assassinating.

But Lothur would not go easy on these other two. The moment after his first attack, his 5th Soul Bone glowed, and several flaming spears appeared in the vicinity of those men.

Prometheus Flames!

He manipulated his new ability, forming spears of flame and then distorting the space to make them fly under those three men.

When they realized this, these two men tried to protect themselves because those spears were too fast for them to dodge.

However, just when they thought they would be hit, a golden shield appeared beneath them, forming a large cocoon covering them all.

The man with a hole in his shoulder appeared between them, putting his hands up as he tried to keep his shield upright.

“Quick, attack him!” He said.

Seeing that, Lothur pressed that shield with his Gravity skill, pushing his spears even harder.

But as he did so, one of the Origin Saints appeared behind him, already holding a sword ready to slash toward his neck.

Lothur moved one of his hands toward that blade, quickly reaching for it and preventing such a thing from striking him.

As he did so, the other Origin Saint appeared there and attacked his chest with an axe.

“Die!” He shouted as he made that move. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠

As he and his companion, being held by Lothur, watched this opportunity unfold, young Ritter stood still.

When that weapon struck him, it deformed the invisible defenses on Lothur’s body, causing the two of them to change their expressions as they noticed that there was invisible armor on this man’s body.

More than 90% of the power of that attack was lost when that weapon overcame the defenses of one of Lothur’s Soul Bones and hit his body.

“That’s it?” He asked as he felt that merely scratching his skin.

“Impossible!” The man who had attacked said as his eyes trembled.

Lothur maliciously laughed, and black and orange flames surged from his body as if he were a bomb.

When this happened, the flames spread several meters away from him, reaching the two Origin Saints.

“NOOO!”

The group leader shouted upon seeing this, finally removing the pressure caused by Lothur and the flame spears.

Unfortunately for those two, it was already too late!

By staying within range of Lothur’s body, they suffered terribly from the combination of his two abilities.

The Prometheus Flames destroyed their physical defenses, and the Black Flames penetrated their bodies, quickly beginning to erode their minds.

The Black Flames were still Silver-grade, so it would be impossible for Lothur to control these men as his slaves. However, he could corrupt them enough for his orange flames to degrade them more easily.

“You shouldn’t have come to this place!” Lothur said before making a hand seal.

Omnipotence!

As soon as he activated his soul technique, he started a pulse from his body, creating a domain in his surroundings.

The next moment, Lothur crossed the space and appeared behind that Celestial Saint.

When he appeared there, Lothur quickly formed a giant of flames holding a sizeable orange axe.

He wasted no time and immediately attacked that level 20 man with everything he had.

“Die!”

The opponent realized that Lothur had suddenly become much stronger and faster and trembled as he tried to re-establish his defenses.

‘Damn it! What is that Soul Bone?’ He wondered as Lothur’s attack and his defense collided.

For an instant, Lothur’s attack stopped, but then…

BOOOOM!
