Mixed Blessing System

Sometime after the emperor’s group started their attacks, the cracks in the barrier around those ruins were so large that they stretched for tens of meters.

As the decisive moment awaited approached, both the Emperor’s group and Daemon’s group were in fighting positions, just waiting for that barrier to break.

Both sides were nervous, with the experts sweating as they imagined the problem ahead.

Did Daemon’s group already have the Platinum-grade weapon?

Would the emperor’s group victimize how many of Daemon’s group?

Both sides had their own concerns.

But amidst these people, the emperor fixed his eyes on his eldest son while Daemon also looked at him, knowing he would have to face his old man.

Then…

BOOM!

After the last attack collided with the dense barrier over that area, the cracks on it reached such a level that the spiritual structure of it could no longer hold.

At that instant, the barrier exploded as if made of glass, sending small fragments in endless directions.

Both sides of this conflict about to begin were already prepared for this, with their spirits high above.

As the small fragments of the barrier passed through them without hitting them, both sides flew into each other, leaving no room for either side to oppress the other and get gaps.

Daemon collided his sword with his father’s, floating in the surroundings while their auras were at their peak.

“Daemon, how dare you steal from me?” The old emperor shouted at his son, looking into this man’s eyes.

“Old man, you are already near the end of your life… Isn’t it natural for me to take my inheritance?” Daemon teased.

“If you want an inheritance, you’ll have to kill me first!” 𝒷𝓭ℴ𝓋𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Meanwhile, Lothur ignored the fight and looked toward the interior of those ruins in search of the Blood Crystal.

Immediately upon doing so, he saw a red glow in the basement of that building, where several formations masters were trying to connect that thing to a weapon.

Lothur watched with interest the inscriptions used by these people, noting the innovative methods of the Daemon group’s formations masters.

‘It is not for nothing that they are such a strong group and feared by the empire. In addition to having great cultivation bases, they have formations masters capable of producing codes far superior to most of those I’ve seen in Leopoldine.’

Lothur couldn’t help but praise the abilities of these people to use such great techniques to create codes for their formations.

Even though they were 3rd stage people, he was getting close to successfully building a Platinum-grade item!

Normally this would not be possible, but given the Blood Crystal’s quality, they could achieve such a feat!

All the other components of that weapon being produced would be Silver-grade, but when it was successfully connected with the Blood Crystal, its abundant and special energy would raise the whole to a much higher level.

‘But that’s also a waste… I can’t let you guys waste something so valuable.’ He thought to himself, certain that he could produce something much stronger using the Blood Crystal.

As a level 20 soul cultivator, Lothur was a 4-star formations master, one of medium to high-level, by the way.

As such, he could certainly manipulate the other items of a Gold-grade weapon and its formations to produce an item close to the Quasi-Platinum grade, which would match that treasure best!

Seeing that they were 98% away from achieving the formation of that weapon, Lothur moved through space in the blink of an eye traversing the battlefield around those ruins.

When he arrived in the underground room where half a dozen formations masters were working on that weapon, he didn’t hesitate to show himself.

As he appeared there, Lothur immediately used his Gravity skill, causing everyone in the area to fall to the ground due to the force weight of their own bodies.

“Aaaaahg!”

At that instant, the formations masters screamed in surprise, losing control over their techniques as the space around the formations flags destabilized.

The Blood Crystal was too powerful for just one of those people to manipulate, so when their group lost control over what they were doing, that jewel immediately rejected the inscriptions on it.

It glowed intensely, and then all the items forcefully connected to it exploded, being sent away burning in red flames.

Boom!

“No!” one of the men in that underground location shouted as his eyes fluttered, ignoring Lothur due to the terrible shock at having the fruit of days of his labor destroyed like this.

It was already so close to them reaching their goal. It was really frustrating.

“My friends, do not despair. An artifact of this level can only reveal its greatness in the hands of someone powerful.” Lothur commented as he walked over to the Blood Crystal. “Only someone capable can recognize the true value of something like this.”

Lothur summoned the Elemental Staff from his spatial ring and picked up that jewel with one of his hands, viewing its characteristics through the system screen.

As he smiled, the people there saw him doing something amazing.

As the Elemental Staff floated around Lothur’s waist, the Blood Crystal slowly moved closer to his belly high while golden inscriptions appeared on the surroundings.

The space above these two objects distorted as Lothur manipulated the space without using formation flags.

Meanwhile, his eyes were glowing brightly, his hands with orange and black flames on them, manipulating something semi-transparent, made from the flames of two of his Soul Bones.

Lothur placed inscriptions on those two artifacts without using objects from formations masters!

However, what shocked the surrounding formations masters the most was not Lothur’s ability to manipulate the Natural Laws without using special artifacts, but how he was stealing their techniques!

While inscribing his rules on those two objects with one of his hands, with the other, Lothur was holding one of the most important books of this group.

“Hey! That’s stealing!” Someone unconsciously shouted as he saw Lothur’s lines of code quickly creating a sphere of golden lines that pushed those two items to merge.

Lothur smiled upon hearing this, but he was not simply stealing them. The opposite of that, he was improving the technique created by that group to produce a Platinum-grade weapon!

“See how a Platinum-grade weapon is made, my friends!” He smiled brightly, watching the glow on the crystal increase as his inscriptions ‘tied’ the staff and crystal together.

The strongest of those formations masters opened his eyes wide as he saw that, noting Lothur’s progress jumping from 10% to 50% and then to 75% in the blink of an eye.

‘Is he going to make it?’

Gulp!
