Mixed Blessing System

As he made his way to Arno, Lothur left no enemy behind.

He would not allow any of those people to run away from him after all that had happened, so while those many enemies inside that building were trying to attack him or run away, he was fighting them with his powers.

Against some, it would be enough for him just to use his Gravity, but for others, he would have to actively control them using the Black Flames.

One way or another, he was overpowering everyone in his path, making them, against their own will, accompany him to the top floor of this building.

Even walking slowly, he and more than 40 people would arrive at that place in no time without Arno or some of the stronger people around him realizing the problem.

They were trying to recover from the fight of days ago, so they were too focused on their recovery to notice what was happening within their own faction.

When Lothur kicked open the door that separated him from these people, they were all taken by surprise!

Boom!

When they heard the noise of the door being destroyed in one kick, all five men next to Arno in the cultivation room opened their eyes with ugly expressions on their faces.

But when they saw that silver-haired, aged-looking person, they all swallowed their saliva, feeling they knew this individual from somewhere.

"Half-breed!" Arno shouted as he noticed all his subordinates dominated by Lothur in the surroundings, while the different appearance of this being did not fool him.

"What?"

"That\'s the damn half-breed?"

"But how did he escape from that cell?"

Those men and Arno wondered, already standing, as they circulated their energies.

They were weakened but not totally exhausted to the point that they had nothing to do against Lothur.

As such, they prepared to fight!

However, while maintaining a defensive position, Arno couldn\'t help but turn pale, sensing Lothur\'s new cultivation level.

\'How is that possible? Did he advance in level in that place after being beaten? That\'s absurd!\'

The others would also think similar things after a few moments, each of them shocked at the recovery, advancement, and power that Lothur was now emitting.

This elderly-looking young man watched them intently for a few moments and smiled. "I have you to thank. I wouldn\'t be at this level now if it weren\'t for you.

And from what I hear, it\'s also because of you that I wasn\'t killed, huh?"

Lothur had made those men under the effects of the Black Flames reveal why he had not been killed.

In possession of this knowledge, he couldn\'t help but thank these people for bringing him to this moment.

However, Lothur was not merciful!

"But you have made a grave mistake, my friends. Standing against me in the first place was the worst choice you ever made! Now you must die to pay for what you did to me!" He shouted angrily, as red marks appeared little by little around his face.

His silver eyes turned as red as blood, while red mist appeared in the surroundings, gradually forming a demonic silhouette behind Lothur.

As it appeared, he said in a loud voice. "Get ready. I will devour the power of each of you!"

The six men, still out of his control, clenched their fists as they felt a very strong oppression coming from that silhouette behind Lothur.

They were not exhausted and had some power to counterattack or flee. But in the face of this oppression, none of them could move a single muscle!

Arno paled as he sensed this, noting that he would soon fail in this place, where he had been the most powerful for decades.

\'No! It can\'t be! I can\'t die here!\' He pushed himself as hard as he could, trying to use his two Soul Bones to escape from there.

Unfortunately for him, Lothur had already seen those bones days ago, and the current oppression was particularly greater in Arno.

Lothur wanted those bones for himself, so he would not allow this man to escape!

\'Too bad one of them is a skull bone, something I already have...\' He thought as he felt the first lives in the surroundings being consumed by the red flames and the system beginning to issue updates regarding the EVF points absorbed.

The weakest in Lothur\'s surroundings were the first to be consumed by these flames that reached as far as 100 meters away from Lothur, reaching even people outside that building.

But even those level 18 individuals would not last long and would soon agonize in pain as they were burned to death by those flames of blood.

It wouldn\'t last long, and soon Arno would be the last human standing in that place, with over 70 people having been extinguished from that world by Lothur\'s horrible soul ability.

With Arno, Lothur had had to be more careful not to harm the Soul Bones of this man, one of the few in that prison who had such things.

Soul Bones were really hard items to find, so even in a place full of 3rd stage cultivators, few there had such demonic traces.

However, even though he had been careful during Arno\'s extermination, this man didn\'t last much longer than the others, and after a minute of suffering, most of his body had been burned until only a few handfuls of ashes remained.

The only part that remained were the ones where his two Soul Bones were, the skull and one of his legs.

From these two pieces of flesh, two colored bones would detach, revealing a skull bone similar to the one Lothur already had and another left femur bone.

Lothur saw this and even ignored the total EVF points he had absorbed in this situation.

[EVF: 0 -> 5.358]

He then directed that skull bone into the spatial ring he had already recovered and immediately drew the left femur bone into one of his hands.

As he touched it, the system showed him its characteristics!

[Monarch Demon Femur Soul Bone] [Rank: Silver]

[Feature: once absorption begins, it will replace the femur bone of the left leg. It will become one of the 10 Soul Bones with Golden Armor ability. It also increases by 15% all physical characteristics and 20% all mental characteristics of the one who absorbs it.]

Lothur saw this and smiled, then immediately started absorbing this Soul Bone while he had already given the order to the system to turn as many EVF points as possible into points for the Soul attribute!

[Absorb Monarch Demon Femur Soul Bone?]

\'Yes!\'

With Lothur\'s order, soon, the fusion process began!
