Mixed Blessing System

"So that's it..." Lothur put one of his hands to his mouth, imagining that that dark aura was probably eating away at these people's lives. "It looks like something is plotting against these animals and beasts. That is the reason for the unusual behavior of these beings."

"Oh?" The five individuals around Lothur showed interest, not doubting this young man, even if they had not yet accessed any information.

The farmer from these areas of the Finn Mountains looked at this group strangely, not understanding how these people could make assumptions from a mere injury. But since they all seemed to accept such a theory, he said nothing, just watched these young people cautiously.

Lothur continued. "There is a dark aura in his wound, which indicates that the beast or beasts responsible for these cuts are affected by some kind of evil aura..."

There were no beasts with the ability or affinity for evil elements in this world. Therefore, all the young people coming from Peters City knew that an ordinary beast could not have caused what Lothur was saying.

Unlike humans and other beings who could have evil attributes depending on their birth circumstances and life experiences, a beast or animal could not experience the same. They were beings with innate affinities with elements contrary to darkness and evil things.

Hence, if one of them came into contact with something like this, it would be like a disease that would eventually lead to their death if not dealt with in time.

Light and darkness could not be brought together when a soul had a preference for one of the element types. That is, a soul with no affinity for either, under exceptional circumstances, could even stand the combination of both. But this would be impossible if such a soul had a preference for one of the two.

The union of the two types of elements in a being with a clear 'preference' would usually destabilize the soul. In other words, the soul of that being in contact with these elements of a very opposite nature would eventually meet its demise.

That was the basics of spiritual theory, which all those young people and even that humble farmer were aware of. In this way, they all understood Lothur's words, even though they did not see this dark aura.

"I can't see anything..." Julia commented as she looked at the arm of that man who was at the moment looking at himself with concern.

"It's natural. I can only see it because I have a special ability that allows me to see more than the eye can see." Lothur commented without giving further details of his powers. "In any case, some evil must be manipulating these beasts and frightening the animals."

As beings with an affinity for elements contrary to darkness, animals were quite sensitive to it and became agitated when something related to it happened near them.

Because of this, domestic cats and dogs in this cultivation world would be the first to notice something when a bad place or troublesome person was around them. And because of this, even in this world, human beings have domestic animals, as was the case on Earth.

That was also why the animals on this man's farm were agitated!

'So that's it?' This farmer was surprised by the analytical ability of this young man who looked like a mortal. 'You can't judge anyone by their appearance... What an eye-opener!

Lothur continued. "Considering it, there must be spectres, evil cultivators, dark elves, underworld beings, or demons around acting against these beasts."

Gulp!

"Demons?" Everyone there, especially that farmer, who lived near where this was happening, asked loudly, drawing the attention of everyone inside that coffee shop.

When that absurd word was said aloud, everyone stopped what they were doing, putting their plates of food and conversations aside to look in awe at that group.

Lothur realized that everyone was terrified and said. "We are just telling a story. It's not what you are thinking, haha."

After a few sighs of relief from the people there, Lothur looked at the six pale people near him and said in a low voice. "It's probably not a demon. I just cited all the possibilities that exist to justify the situation."

Spectres, evil humans, dark elves, underworld beings, and demons were the only organisms capable of controlling evil elements. These were the only beings that could be born without the affinity with elements opposed to darkness and evil.

Certain humans even had an affinity with light, for example, but this was a special event, not true for all cultivators, as was the case with beasts. So, beings like this could have all kinds of attributes, including those not so interesting to show in public.

Of all these kinds of beings, demons were by far the worst.

Evil humans were just depraved beings who, as bad as they were, had the same weaknesses as humans. That is, the ways of killing one were the same as those used against other people.

Spectres were beings related to fallen souls and possessed many physical limitations, making it much easier for those around to protect themselves from them. That is, such beings could not live far from their birthplace or possessed body. So it was relatively easy to avoid, as long as one kept their distance.

Dark Elves were a variation of the Elves, those beings naturally connected to positive, light elements. They were the opposite of these beings, born to counter the 'heaven chosen ones,' the Elves loved by mother nature. Due to this reality, despite their affinity with the evil and dark, these beings hardly ever got involved with beings of other races, but also from outside the Ancestral Region.

As for beings from the underworld, these organisms lived between the threshold of life and death. They were special organisms that could not be classified as ordinary living beings but were not spectres either. These beings could live in the most hostile environments of this world, but in general, they were not numerous and lived in very remote points of this world.

Because of this reality, none of these beings were as terrifying as demons, and these people could not help but prefer either of these options.

"So what are we going to do?" The young man next to Lothur asked him as he imagined how problematic it would be to handle this mission if a demon was behind the problem in this area.

"Well, we will visit the places where the strange phenomena are happening. Then, we will do our investigative work and send the report to the academy." Elke answered in Lothur's place.

This fellow nodded in agreement, feeling he could find out more if he saw the location in question or at least one of these beasts.

He and his group then looked at that farmer, who at the moment was much more scared than before and did not like having to go show them the area at all.

Gulp!

But since that was his only alternative, he quickly began to pray to the Holy Seraph to protect him as he began to lead these youths into the area of the phenomena.
