Mixed Blessing System

When Lothur heard the rumor about the actions of a hybrid like him, he immediately became interested in the opportunity to kill someone like him and obtain a Diamond-grade Soul Bone!

A bone of that quality, and one of a type that the hybrid’s killer did not yet have, was extremely valuable to him!

If he killed the two demon Emperors, absorbed at least one of those bones, and went after the hybrid, he could have 8 Soul Bones in an instant!

If he was lucky with the Emperors, he could even reach 9 bones!

Thinking about this, Lothur could not help but feel his heart beat faster as he swallowed his saliva in anticipation.

‘I must hunt this creature down!’ He thought to himself as he walked and listened to the many local rumors.

Apparently, the creature that was like him was wreaking havoc between Norid and Rablus, killing entire villages without bothering to draw attention to themselves.

Upon reflection, Lothur immediately felt that this creature had already reached his cultivation stage, or it would not have acted so openly.

Below the 4th stage, hybrids were considered weak. Not only could they advance by killing less because they were weaker, but they could also evolve faster.

Normally, below this stage, these creatures would keep their thirst for power in check and not create large massacres to announce their existence.

But as they became Saints, these creatures required increasingly ridiculous amounts of sacrifices, Soul Bones, and resources to keep climbing to the top. As a result, their traces became more obvious, and they attracted attention even when they didn’t want to.

‘But even if this one is a Saint, Sages must already be looking for them.’ Lothur quickly realized that if he had found out about this hybrid casually while walking through a city, then the demon hunters should have had this information for a long time.

Considering this creature’s bone’s value, Sages would surely be keeping an eye on the region, creating a dual problem for Lothur.

On the one hand, he would have to be more careful from now on, as he could be mistaken for the creature wreaking havoc on the northern continent. On the other hand, he could lose that Diamond-grade bone if he took too long.

Not only would humans hunt this creature, but even demons would move to kill and eventually destroy this high-quality bone!

‘I’ll have to go against the old dinosaur’s plans.’ He clenched his fists before using his sight to search for the demonic creatures.

Earlier, Lothur had not known how the beast was sure his targets were Emperors. But it wasn’t because the young man didn’t know how to identify them, but rather because he knew how complicated it was, and he also didn’t know what the abilities of that Sage beast were like.

However, he had already seen the essence of Emperors through Fabienne and was confident that he could identify someone like that with his Gold-grade vision. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡

While searching for these creatures, he moved to a less crowded place in this medium-sized city, hiding his aura as best he could.

It was not an easy task to find these creatures, even with his ability. After all, this place was not small, and of course, such demons were very good at camouflaging themselves.

Choosing an empty and inconspicuous spot, Lothur sat down on the ground before using one of his unique abilities.

One With Nature!

Using his soul ability, he searched for information from the plants around this city, using them to extend his senses.

He could easily find those demons waiting for the dinosaur people to come to him. But since Lothur didn’t want to wait, he searched for them by himself, in hard mode.

After doing this for 3 hours straight, Lothur was already feeling a bit tired when he suddenly saw something that caught his attention.

‘Huh? Those two…’ He sharpened his focus as he looked in that direction and saw two individuals sitting on the porch of a house, drinking tea and chatting quietly.

Demon Emperors were excellent at imitating human manners. Some even seemed harmless, and even if one told their neighbors and friends that they were demons, people would not believe it.

Not only that but even if the truth of such a being were revealed, a friend who heard it might even be inclined to think that even if it was a demon, it might be a good being.

After all, personal experience was often worth more than rumors and legends.

Besides, if there were good and bad humans, couldn’t the same be true for demons?

But things were not that simple. An Emperor who lived in peace was just as dangerous as one who acted for the good of their supreme leader.

The power of such a creature was terrifying, and they could easily strengthen themselves by eating powerful humans. Perhaps one of them was extremely peaceful with weak humans, but powerful beings might be on their radar.

After all, even if demons strangely wanted to go against their instincts and the demonic hierarchy, they would still be dangerous to the human world. They could lure other demons to where they were, and to stay out of trouble, they could sell information and more.

But even in the remote chance that one of these creatures had a ‘pure’ heart and no longer acted like a demon, Lothur wouldn’t care.

‘Innocent’ or not, demons were holders of what he needed most!

Some might find it sad or wrong that the hungry lion devoured the innocent zebra. But for the lion, or for Lothur, ‘eating’ their prey could save them from starvation or a precarious situation.

Lothur didn’t care if these two were demons like his mother or the worst creatures in the world. When he saw them, all he saw in his eyes were two Soul Bones that could make him stronger and save him from a horrible death.

Sure that they were indeed demons, Lothur did not hesitate and moved towards them!

‘Two 4th stage demons, huh? It won’t be easy, but I must eliminate them! Otherwise, I might die before I complete my mission with the Jansen family!’

Lothur didn’t run but walked calmly to where those beings were, knowing that he couldn’t alert them or his plans might fail.

‘I don’t know if there are any Sages in this city. But I must take my chances. If I don’t act inside the city, I will lose any advantage of a surprise attack.’ He thought, resolved.

‘I will take my chances and kill these creatures. I’ll deal with any problems that arise after that!’
