Mixed Blessing System

Two days later...

As the Church continued their search, slowly leaving Leopoldine behind, Lothur was almost finished recovering inside the Imperial Prison.

His recovery had never taken this long to reach this moment. Still, he had also never suffered this much at opponents\' hands.

The last time he suffered serious injuries was when Mabel beat him. But that had been nowhere near the more recent sufferings of this young man, who had even had to recover from the explosion of his Soul Bones.

As such, his recovery, although quick, had taken longer than at other times.

However, it would all be worth it when he awakened!

When it was already noon, almost three days since the previous incident, Lothur opened his eyes and saw his status while in a dark cell in the basement of a building.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

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

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Soul Cultivation: level 16 -> 18]

[Body Cultivation: level 17 -> 18]

[STR: 337.7 -> 506.6]

[CON: 638.8 -> 1,277.6]

[DEX: 349.3 -> 454.1]

[AGI: 350.6 -> 561]

[INT: 271.2]

[PER: 550.1]

[WIL: 400.6 -> 420.6]

[SOU: 130.6]

[EVF: 0]

When he saw his new physical attribute points, Lothur immediately ignored his surroundings and enjoyed seeing his status so high.

He had increased his level significantly!

With this advancement, he was now at the peak of the 3rd stage, and upon realizing this, he couldn\'t help but smile in joy.

\'That terrible moment was really worth it, haha.\' He laughed internally, wondering what his enemies from earlier would think upon discovering their mistake in letting him recover.

\'I don\'t know why they didn\'t kill me, but I thank those responsible for that!

I will take the opportunity and kill all those bastards!\'

He clenched his fists, remembering the pain of having his Soul Bones destroyed.

Thinking about it, he surveyed his body to see if there were any problems with his bones, but he would soon realize that they were as before, and his abilities were just waiting to be used.

Activating his visual ability, he immediately looked at the place where he was, a cell that could seal the soul cultivation of those inside.

Realizing this, he smiled, for this could have prevented him from leaving three days ago. But now that he had changed considerably, getting out would be easy for him!

He saw that there was nothing else in that underground area, just a ladder and a short corridor outside his cell.

\'They took my spatial rings, the Elemental Staff, the Space Belt, and the Golden Finger.\' He noticed the things missing from his body.

"Tsk! You took this from me, but I will take much more from you!" He muttered, feeling his bloodline ability ready for another activation.

He then looked across the building he was in and saw the strongest enemy he had identified days ago.

Arno was in a cultivation room at this very moment, trying to regain his strength from the situation he had previously experienced.

Unfortunately for him and all the other inmates in this prison, Lothur had greatly increased his strength while the strongest in this place were exhausted and would take months to recover.

Noticing his situation, Lothur smiled even more just before he decided to start his revenge.

He approached the bars of his cell and placed his two hands on two parallel bars.

When he did this, the guard watching the door area, a few steps above where Lothur was standing, finally realized that he was standing and thought about running to alert his leaders.

Unfortunately for him, as he tried to run, he felt a great force on his body, forcing him to lie on the ground.

Gravity!

Lothur activated his younger Soul Bone ability on that individual, preventing him from leaving.

At the same time, he had already bent the bars he was holding enough for him to pass through them without difficulty.

With that, he was out of that cell in the blink of an eye while his opponent felt the pressure of his Gravity.

"Damned half-breed!" That person said with difficulty as Lothur walked toward the stairs.

Lothur was not bothered by this, and Black Flames appeared in his hands.

Immediately when those flames appeared, Lothur could feel that they had strengthened greatly, a reflection of his increased level.

But he didn\'t stop to analyze this at the moment and just used this ability to overpower that level 17 man, turning him into a slave.

After doing so, this slave of darkness began to guide the silver-haired young man, who didn\'t look so young at the moment.

As Lothur came out of that underground place, he passed an area with a mirror and could not help but look at himself and wonder.

His silver hair reflected the time that had passed since he had consumed the previous pill and the situation he had gone through, being beaten almost to death. Because of all this, the medicinal effect of the pill that had changed the color of his hair had worn off.

But the most striking thing was not his hair but his aged appearance!

At the present moment, Lothur looked even older than his grandfather!

His face was dry. Several wrinkles could be seen around his eyes, and the glow of youth that he had previously had been lost.

Seeing this, he noticed the cost of his previous regeneration!

Lothur had no EVF points to support that regeneration, so his body had used its vitality to recover all the damage it had suffered.

Even with a level advancement, he could not regenerate such a thing.

Thinking about his vitality, he immediately opened the system panel that showed this information.

[Host life expectancy: 40 years]

Previously its life expectancy should have already been around 1,600 years due to his cultivation stage.

But even so, such a thing had fallen so far that he had just over 20 years left to live!

\'It seems that when I have no EVF points, my vitality will be consumed...\' He pondered this, soon understanding why this had not happened before. \'Hmm, if I\'m not mistaken, it didn\'t happen the other times because the higher the damage, the higher the regeneration cost.

Before I was fragile, so it was easier for my ability to recover my body. But now I have a high-level body that demands a lot of vitality...\'

"Sigh, that\'s not a problem. Once I advance a stage, I will recover my vitality." He muttered.

Lothur also had the option of using EVF points to improve his vitality. But he didn\'t want to use that, as he preferred to focus on turning those points into Soul attribute points.

With that, he quickly walked back towards his enemies in this building, slowly overpowering those who got in his way towards Arno.
