Mixed Blessing System

As night fell in the region where the Imperial Prison was located, Lothur and his people were standing by at one end of the City of Darkness.

In that place, all the 101 people with Lothur were in their vicinity as they watched this man.

Lothur was at the moment watching the sky outside through the thick walls of this prison, waiting for the best conditions for escape.

The sunset was almost over, and the darkness of night was quickly covering the skies.

As he watched this, he said. “Get ready. In less than five minutes, I will begin opening the breaches over the formations about this place.”

Everyone increased their concentration even more upon hearing this, sweating in anticipation of this escape.

Rebecca was the only one who was not nervous as she waited for her man to act, smiling in satisfaction.

Besides being about to return home to Lothur’s side, she had this afternoon advanced a level and reached the 3rd stage of soul cultivation!

With her two Soul Bones, she could also now easily control over 80% of her Physique, and situations like the previous one in Peters City would no longer be out of her control.

While she was very content watching Lothur waiting for his moment to act, he saw what he wanted and moved!

The moment the darkness in the surroundings of the Imperial Prison reached its maximum, Lothur began to manipulate the space in his surroundings as he prepared to use his formations skills.

Lothur was merely going to inscribe something over those formations, something that would open a ‘doorway’ for him and his group to pass through without alerting the guards of that unit about the formations of this place being corrupted or broken.

In a sense, he was rewriting the code of those formations in his way, creating a new ‘key’ to that place, something only he could access in the way he was about to do.

As he did this, his cultivation pressure was making his men sweat, feeling a great weight on their bodies and cultivations.

Everyone had been waiting for this, so none had been surprised, and they were managing to keep their consciences upright.

If they fainted, no one would carry them, which would end their journey!

Fortunately for them, Lothur had above-average skills when it came to formations, and within minutes he was able to reprogram these formations.

As he was finishing, the gigantic barrier that existed over this space opened a ‘door’ for them, through which its characteristics would not affect those who tried to pass through at the time.

Lothur realized he was ready and said, indicating the wall in front of him. “Come on, come through here!”

After his words, space distorted at his command, making what looked like a portal appear in that wall over 30 meters wide.

Those 101 people saw Lothur’s space manipulation skills working for the first time and slowly began to move into that portal that would get them through that dense wall.

Rebecca was the first to go in there, seeing how strange Saints’ spatial manipulation abilities were.

Saints could travel through space because of their spatial manipulation abilities. But that didn’t mean that one of these individuals could open a door in one place and instantly travel to another on the other side of the continent.

That was something the Saints could not do!

What Saints could do with their spatial manipulation skills was to traverse things, shorten distances, and use small, short-range portals to reach things instantly.

For example, Saints could open portals like the one Lothur opened and go through walls as thick as that prison.

They could travel through the vacuum of space, where they could not easily be noticed, and increase their movement speeds above what they could traveling through ordinary space.

Finally, for things relatively close to them, they could manipulate space in order to reach those things easily. For example, a Saint at a banquet could be sitting at one end of the table and, using their spatial abilities, picking up a bowl from the other end without stretching his arms or asking for help.

However, this latter ability could only be used for things in short range. So they could not travel long distances using it. At most, they could have better control over their position and those of things within a few dozen meters of them.

Hence, when passing through the portal created by Lothur, Rebecca didn’t simply pass through that wall and appear outside the prison. She entered inside the wall, where she would have to take a few steps to reach the other side.

The wall was over 13 meters wide, but she and the others would only have to walk 5 meters to reach the other side, given the distortion created by Lothur.

As she watched what it was like inside those walls, others from her group entered there, quickly filling the place that had enough space to hold all of them very close together.

Lothur was the last to enter there, maintaining the situation of the formations in that prison and closing the passage he had just passed through to open the passage out of prison.

He said. “I won’t be able to hide you right away as we leave this wall. So as you go through this portal, you must keep a low profile while we all go through, and I will put the formations in this place the same way they were before.

You will be without any protection, but that is only for 1 minute. After that, I will be able to lead you out of this place through the vacuum of space.”

Those people nodded, indicating that they understood what they had to do.

With that, the first of them passed through that last passage out of the Imperial Prison, taking their chances for the next second that they would be fully visible to anyone looking in their direction.

As they passed through that portal, one of them saw the night of the continent after decades trapped in the City of Darkness, feeling the searing of the night and the smell of wet soil.

He smiled as he noticed all these sensations and the spiritual energy in the surroundings, which was unaffected by the prison formations.

‘Ah, finally!’ He closed his eyes as he positioned himself beside that long wall on the side of the prison they were escaping.

The others did the same, barely breathing so as not to cause a disturbance that would draw the attention of the observers of that prison.

At the same time, everyone was controlling as much of their cultivation as possible.

After 60 seconds, Lothur finally joined them and closed the passage through that wall after making the formations in that place work as before.

With that done, he muttered as he distorted the space in the surrounding area, covering up all his men.

“Time to go!”
