Mixed Blessing System

After the head of the man last attacked by Lothur fell to the ground, still with a terrified expression on his face, this young man momentarily looked at the three people still breathing.

They were not well at all. Each had already lost the ability to see due to severe blood loss from their injuries. But they were still having their last breaths.

Lothur saw this and wielded his ax, quickly ending their sufferings by butchering them.

"Lothur..." Elke called his name after a few moments when this young man finally stopped moving his ax, and the blood stopped breaking from the pieces of flesh on the ground.

"Elke, stay there for a moment. I\'ll clean up the mess." He commented without looking at her, ignoring the blood of his opponents on his body.

,m But Elke did not obey him and quickly moved closer to where everything had happened, seeing the state of those people who had disrespected her.

She swallowed her saliva at seeing such a terrible scene and then started to help him.

"What are you..." He looked at her and started to say something.

But then she interrupted him. "We are partners, so I won\'t let you do everything yourself. Then, of course, I\'ll help you clean up the mess."

"Elke, you don\'t have to. I don\'t want you to get your hands dirty." He commented in a low voice.

"You\'re right. I don\'t have to. But I want to. I\'m your woman, your accomplice. So, if you\'re getting dirty for me, the least I can do is help you." She said as she set up the fire for those bodies.

"Sigh..."

"Fine!" He sighed and quickly collected the spatial rings from his enemies\' bodies before placing them on the fire prepared by Elke.

After every bit of those bodies began to burn, the two returned to the banks of the lake, cleaning themselves up from what they had just done.

In particular, Elke had helped Lothur clean himself up, massaging the parts of this man\'s body that his brutal work had stained.

"I\'m glad you stood up for me..." Then, when she had finished cleaning him, Elke hugged Lothur, looking into his eyes with affection in her eyes.

"You are mine. So, of course, I will defend you." Lothur held her buttocks tightly while her legs were crossed against his back.

"Oh? Lothur, don\'t tell me that\'s what I\'m thinking?" She blushed as she felt something, surprised that he felt this way after what had just happened.

"What can I do? I\'m a healthy man with a beautiful partner..." He smiled before warmly kissing her lips.

"Mmmmm~"

...

After a few minutes, Lothur and Elke finished their special \'training\' and left that area to avoid any significant problems.

They obviously cleared the spot where a fire had destroyed the bodies of those four, having also headed back to the city by an alternate route.

Lothur had killed the man who wanted to threaten him with Harry\'s past, but that did not mean that Elke\'s companion had not heard such a thing.

It was just that it made no difference at that moment. Their death was the best thing to lessen any kind of suspicion or chances of trouble getting closer to him and Elke.

As such, Lothur had mercilessly killed that person who tried to threaten him.

However, he was aware that this could bring trouble. So, as he did his best to erase the traces of what had happened earlier and set off back to Lewerenz, he and Elke were already taking the necessary steps to avoid possible investigations coming to them.

More than half the day had passed, and soon would be dark. So, to avoid being seen near the crime scene, putting the mission aside momentarily and returning to Lewerenz was best.

Thus, they soon made their way to the north side of such a city, with Lothur having checked the spatial rings of those people.

In doing so, he discovered that Harry\'s ring had a unique mark that tracked such an item.

Unfortunately for the one who left that, this did not prevent Harry\'s belongings from being accessed after he died, which allowed Lothur to take everything there.

In the end, knowing of such a mark because of the system, Lothur threw away that spatial ring and returned to Lewerenz with a magnificent smile on his face.

...

\'I have earned 300,000 bronze coins and several items that can be sold or used in my activities.\' Lothur sat down on a cultivation cushion in the middle of the room that he and Elke had gotten earlier.

As he smiled with his eyes closed, this young man felt it was time for him to use the most valuable item in Harry\'s ring.

"Six Senses Pill!" He muttered as he looked at the small bottle in his hands.

[Six Sense Pill] [Rank: Bronze]

[Purity: 70%] [1 unit]

[Effect: Enriches the five physical senses of the one who ingests it and also the spiritual sense]]

\'Amazing!\'

"Are you getting ready to take this pill?" Elke sat on the edge of the double bed in that room, wiping her wet red hair with a white towel.

"I\'d better do this now that we\'re going to spend the rest of the day in this city." He looked at her with a determined look.

Lothur had told Elke what he had gotten from those opponents, so she naturally knew the basics of this pill similar to the one that had been auctioned days ago in Peters City.

"Are you sure? This pill will have more significant effects if you wait until you reach the peak of the 1st stage." She commented on this information released at that event her family had attended.

"I know, but it might help me a lot at the moment. And I don\'t know if it\'s good to wait. It may help the people behind that fellow find me if I don\'t consume it." He said in a deep tone.

"Besides, nobody knows about tomorrow..."

"I can leave it until later and regret the missed opportunity in the future... So, I\'d better use this advantage now that I have the chance."

Elke nodded to him as she heard this, starting to get dressed after the shower she had taken upon arriving at this room.

As she did so, Lothur wasted no time watching his partner\'s body and soon put that pill that had two colored lines in the middle of it into his mouth.

As he did so, he felt it melt on his tongue and as it made its way into his stomach, leaving a cold sensation everywhere it passed.

Then, it seemed to diffuse with his body, mixing with his intestinal cells and entering his bloodstream.

Because of this effect, Lothur soon began to feel every part of his body subtly cooling down, while a strange feeling spread even to his soul.

It was similar to the feeling when a person who had been trapped for countless days in a confined place, unable to move, would gain more freedom, and his confinement would increase in size, giving him more room to act.

He felt this way, as if the invisible \'weights\' on his body and soul were decreasing in mass.

But in this situation, Lothur was not feeling any pain, just feeling refreshed and lighter.

By this point, Elke had finished dressing and sat in front of Lothur, looking at him with her flushed face, waiting to find out how much better he would get after this.

\'Damn, even though I\'ve been with him for weeks now, I can\'t help but be charmed by his appearance!\' She watched his closed eyes move, ignoring her companion\'s naked torso.

...

After almost forty minutes of Elke watching him, Lothur felt the pill\'s effects beginning to subside.

\'I am not feeling any remnants of this pill, even though it is ideal for people stronger than me...\' He thought about this as he analyzed the situation of his body.

\'Is that a system thing? Or is it what the auctioneer said about this pill not being dangerous for weaker people?\'

\'Sigh! Never mind...\' He opened his eyes and then saw his status appearing.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: ****]

[Cultivation: level 4]

[STR: 9.5] [CON: 14] [DEX: 8.9] [AGI: 10.6]

[INT: 52.9] [PER: 52.9] [WIL: 49]

\'What?\' He almost jumped up due to the shock of seeing such massive improvements in some of his attributes.

That was particularly true for the attribute related to his talent, which only seemed to evolve through accomplishing the system\'s mission.

Apart from the occasion when Lothur had absorbed one of the Lost Tree Scrolls, his Intelligence had never increased!

Because of this, he could not contain his expression of astonishment, alerting the beautiful Elke that something was wrong.

"Lothur, what happened? Are you feeling unwell?" She left her seat and approached the man sitting in a lotus position.

Lothur still had a shocked look on his face, with his pupils trembling, but he managed to ease the fear in Elke\'s heart. "I\'m fine, much better than I had imagined..."

"I didn\'t expect to get so much better after just swallowing that pill!"
