Mixed Blessing System

Seeing the silver-haired man looking and smiling at them, the three spectres, the only ones remaining in that area, grimaced.

They watched all their companions and enemies overpowered, earlier being exterminated by this strange creature, a mortal who did not emit an iota of spiritual energy. But even so, he also emitted a terrifying sensation that made them tremble with fear.

And seeing the strange patterns in the man’s face returning to normal, they could not help but feel relief, feeling better such a pentagram was gone.

Lothur continued to watch them while the system brought him some great news.

[EVF: 399]

‘Holy crap!’ He exclaimed in his mind in surprise, delighted that he had gotten so many points just for dealing with these beings.

‘I think after we’re done here, I’ll play with these points a bit to see how I can use them…’

While he was planning, Annaliese was open-mouthed, shocked to have seen such absurdity unfold in front of her.

One moment Lothur had come face to face with a bunch of scorpions and some humans, and then in a minute, they had all died horribly.

At the same time, Lothur looked pleased, as if he had just achieved something incredible while looking intensely in a direction where there was nothing.

‘It looks like he is about to finish, but there are still opponents…’ She pondered, noting that it was still not safe to move.

But amidst her thoughts and shock at Lothur’s special powers, Annaliese was happy for him as it was essential to be powerful in this society.

In this case, Lothur’s future would be bright, which could guarantee his long-term survival and the success of his projects!

As she thought about him, Lothur began to walk against those spectres, watching them float away from him.

“Come on! You know I won’t let you stay here any longer. Let’s end this once and for all.” He said, always with a smile on his face, as he moved, trying to surround his opponents.

But those creatures did not want to give up their plans so easily and tried to escape from him, afraid of being wiped out.

Unfortunately for those spectres, there was no escape for those who had limited space for movement.

Not only was Lothur faster than them, but he could also move freely through that area, pushing them against their limits.

And with the benefit of seeing them, it did not take long for this man to use his advantages and ‘touch’ one of his enemies!

[Level 9 Spectre detected in the host’s body…]

[Exterminate?]

‘Yes.’ He replied to the system as he saw that having part of his body ‘touched’ by these spectres was enough for the system to act on.

After giving his permission, Lothur saw that spectre being sucked through the spot he had touched, entering through his hand, and then…

“Atchim!” He sneezed, eliminating another one of those creatures.

The other two spectres trembled in fear at the sight that their opponent could exterminate them so easily, while Annaliese understood the situation more or less.

‘It looks like he tried to touch something and then sneezed…’ Her eyes sharpened. ‘Hmm, from the number of spectres he said were here and his sneezing, I can tell that these reactions are related to the end of these beings.’

‘So, he has already eliminated five, and two remain?’ She wondered, seeing that Lothur’s smile could only indicate that he was ending his business there.

And so, it was not long before Annaliese saw her brother-in-law sneezing twice more, finally finishing cleaning that area.

“Anna, I’m finished. You can come now.” He looked at her and waved one of his hands.

Hearing this, she sighed in relief and ran toward him, satisfied that it was all over. ‘He has very unusual powers… Or is that how spectres are eliminated?’

Since Annaliese did not know what happened to a spectre when it was eliminated, she could only wonder about Lothur’s method.

“Lothur, you are so strong. I had no idea we would solve this problem so quickly…” She hugged him after kissing him, proud of this man’s accomplishments.

“Hmm, I didn’t expect it either. We were compatible, and things went more right than they should have…” He vaguely commented, feeling that the gains in those last 5 hours in this cave had been significant.

Not only had they cleaned up the place, which would give them the prize of the mission, but he had also collected several items from the dead mercenaries in that place and parts of the beasts.

At the same time, he got a lot of EVFs and time with his sister-in-law… So, it was a significant gain for him!

But as he hugged his beautiful sister-in-law, feeling good after this victory, Lothur did not take long to realize what was happening there before they arrived.

With his visual ability, he soon found some inscriptions of a complex formation, along with encrypted text that he could only half understand.

“Hmm?” He pushed his sister-in-law aside and walked over to what looked like a tombstone.

“What is it?” She asked in curiosity as she saw that he had become more serious.

Lothur then replied. “Here is written: ‘the wheel **** is broken and the dead are lost. The arrival *** will not be prevented, *** they will do everything, ***. We can only fix it on our own or this ****.'”

“Uh? Why did you skip some words?” She asked as she looked at that thing that she could not see, the words Lothur saw.

“I don’t understand those words. They are written in a formation, but since I know few inscriptions, I cannot understand that message completely.” He commented briefly, still looking at that tombstone.

“But I have the impression that it has to do with what these spectres were doing here. It looks like they were trying to fix something.”

She frowned her eyebrows. “How is that possible? They shouldn’t be conscious…”

“Hmm, I guess they weren’t. But doesn’t every organism act on instincts?” He looked into her eyes. “Maybe they were created with the instinct to solve that problem.”

As he said this, that tombstone and what the scorpions and humans from before seemed to be building in this place began to decompose, turning to dust in a snap of his fingers.

“That…” Annaliese looked at that without understanding. ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ

As for Lothur, he too was surprised, even more so that now the said formation had disappeared, leaving no trace for him to investigate when he had more knowledge.

‘Damn it!’

‘I guess that wasn’t simple…’ He felt frustrated at losing such traces, but there was nothing he could do about it.

What had happened there was important, but only those with abilities could understand such a thing.

Unfortunately, he was too weak for that and lost the only trace that could explain this place.

He then commented in a low voice. “I have the impression that there are other places with information like there was here…”

“Oh? Why do you think that?” She looked at him.

“That’s the impression I get. Besides, spectres are strange. Maybe there’s more to this subject than meets the eye…”

“Sigh!”

“Anyway, let’s collect what’s left in that place and leave. We still have to ask the group that controlled this cave to come and check the situation so we can finish our mission.” He commented after sighing.

“OK.”

After saying that, it did not take long for them to collect what was left there and return to the village where they had eaten breakfast.
