Mixed Blessing System

Lothur wanted to take back what his enemies had taken from him earlier, a Diamond-grade Soul Bone. However, to do so, he would have to have the strength to defeat Sages even stronger than those he had faced.

Thinking more about it now that he was out of danger, Lothur was able to estimate the strength of the people who were supposed to have the best bones in the world. As such, he wouldn’t overestimate his situation, and that was why he was in this remote place.

If he hid there, he could improve his strength a little more. In any case, he only had seven bones. He could still absorb two bones and save the last space for a Diamond-grade bone.

However, he would first have to investigate the type of Diamond-grade Soul Bones that existed. Unlike when the hybrid died and formed a missing bone in the one that killed it, these bones already had defined shapes.

Not just any bone could be absorbed by Lothur!

So before absorbing new bones, he had to be careful, or he might soon have no room in his body for any bones of that quality!

‘I’ll wait for Viktoria and the others to return from the war with my ‘food,’ and I’ll order them to get this information for me.’ Lothur thought to himself as Daemon, and that beast stared at the impressive world of Concordia’s high-level specialists.

“Then you need to go into seclusion…” Daemon muttered. “But how exactly are you going to do that? With your capabilities, wouldn’t it be better to travel around the continent?”

Lothur looked at Daemon and understood that he was talking about his ability to devour the power of others. “Yes, I’ll do that. But first, I’m going to raise my soul power a little. Then I’ll hunt demons to do what you have in mind.

But now it will do me good to stay hidden in this area for a while. There are many Sages looking for me around the continent, and I’ll soon have some great helpers. They will help me a little in this time of seclusion.

When I’ve achieved my goals, I’ll hunt demons on Demon Island.”

“Oh?”

Unlike many on the continent who didn’t know about the demons’ home, Daemon was aware of Demon Island since Fabienne had told him about it a long time ago.

Demon Island was a distant territory to the south of this world, a place slightly larger than Leopoldine but totally dominated by demons, where many frightening creatures existed.

According to Fabienne, more than 8 million demons lived there among many dark races.

Going to such an island was definitely a great danger for even Sages! ｂｅ𝚍𝚗ｏｖｅ𝚕．𝚗𝚎𝚝

But Daemon knew it would probably be the best place for Lothur to grow stronger and help humanity even more.

Even though he had given birth to a terrible creature together with Fabienne, Daemon didn’t hate humans. On the contrary, he hated demons, especially those of low rank, who couldn’t control themselves and were extremely dangerous.

Even though he had been in a relationship with an Emperor demon for years, he sincerely preferred these creatures dead!

“Do you need anything now? I’m not strong enough to help you now, but I can still do many things, kid.” He said, willing to help Lothur and watch the rise of a truly invincible warrior.

As Lothur’s father, Daemon wanted to see this young man reach the peak of the world!

Upon hearing this, Lothur looked not only at Daemon but also at that level 19 beast. “Indeed. While I was watching the borders of Linn Province earlier, I saw some groups of demons in this territory.”

“Do you want us to hunt them down for you?” The beast asked.

“I want you to seize them. You don’t have to kill them. Just collect the groups of demons I’ll show you and bring them to me.” Lothur replied.

“Won’t that get you into trouble?”

Lothur said to his father. “No. These are weak, 3rd stage demons. So no Sage will be looking out for them, especially if you were the one hunting them.”

“But at your level, does it make a difference to hunt demons like that, Lothur?” The red-furred beast asked.

“In normal situations, I wouldn’t care about them at my current level. But they’re within my reach, and I can give their bones to people in my group. So bring them to me.”

Lothur quickly gave the location of three groups of demons around Linn Province before watching the two leave, going to gather their own teams to carry out this mission.

Being alone in those ruins, Lothur knew he didn’t have much to do at the moment since he didn’t know how to meditate to raise his soul cultivation.

Even if training could raise his physical attributes, these improvements were practically insignificant for the current him.

He would even train daily to keep getting stronger, however slowly. But with the chance to produce things to raise his family’s strength, Lothur felt that his time would be better used if he focused on helping his group grow stronger.

With the number of resources Lothur had gathered on his journey here, collecting spatial rings and things in his path, he could produce many useful things for his people.

With this in mind, he soon crossed the space of the ruins in front of him and found an excellent place to produce his resources in peace.

…

While Lothur used his skills as an alchemist while entering seclusion, the beast groups from earlier and Daemon set off from the Three Great Lakes Region.

Meanwhile, to the north of that area, Viktoria was finishing absorbing the second of the two Soul Bones that Lothur had given her.

Opening her eyes and feeling her new strength, Viktoria realized that she was now no longer a Saint but a 1st Catastrophe Sage!

Having reached level 22 in soul and body cultivation, she felt the power she now had and noticed her surroundings much more easily.

The difference she felt in her being was so great that she could hardly believe she was still a human!

Sensing everything in her surroundings, she quickly realized that Rebecca had also become a Sage but was still absorbing the last of her 3 bones.

But as she sensed the men around her tent, she was much more surprised, noticing the Transcendents who had earlier been between levels 16 and 18, now between levels 18 and 20!

Noticing this, she smiled as she imagined that this was Lothur’s doing. She then paid attention to the border where she was, noticing the enemies to the north coming from Lenz.

“Time to work.”

But just as she was about to leave her tent, one of Lothur’s men knelt down in front of her with a letter in his hand.
