Mixed Blessing System

After entering the labyrinth of the fourth chamber of the Immortals Well, Lothur proceeded slowly on his way, taking one step at a time while having the demon in front of him.

Even after the qualitative advance that his Skull Soul Bone had undergone, Lothur's unique vision was still not working perfectly within this area.

He could see more than he was able to earlier. But still, he could not see very far ahead in this maze. So, as a precautionary measure, he walked slowly, using the demon as a shield.

'Why does it have a labyrinth in a place that should serve as a tomb for the ancient dead experts of the race that lived here?' Lothur wondered as he walked through corridors wide enough for beasts as large as the ones he saw inside the Immortals Well to pass through with relative ease.

The area he was in was so wide that it looked more like a city street than a maze corridor.

Looking to the sides, Lothur saw that these walls were just the typical mix of compacted earth and rock for most of this place.

'Uh?' He realized something as he observed this place for about 10 minutes, walking around with the demon there. 'This place was excavated and not built?'

Lothur noticed that the adjacent land seemed to have been built by digging up the ground and not by building walls. In other words, this place had most likely been 'opened' by individuals later than the race that used this place as a sanctuary in ancient times.

'If it was someone who built this place...' He clasped his hands more firmly over the Elemental Staff, considering the hypothesis that such individuals responsible for it might have left traps there!

'It makes sense now!'

'No wonder such a reliquary exists with so many opportunities! Some cultivators have actually altered it!' Lothur pondered as he felt his doubts were being answered.

Lothur had judged this place to be very strange and unique. After all, as much as it could happen that a locality had more than one valuable opportunity, it was somewhat uncommon.

And even if this place was of a low level considering the limits known to cultivators, it was still strange to have several such opportunities in a place developed by the chaos of nature.

But it would not be so strange if all this had been manipulated by something or someone!

'If someone created this, what's the purpose of it all? Just to create a way to help 2nd stage cultivators?'

1st stage cultivators would not be able to survive in this place. Hell, even 2nd stage cultivators could have a tough time there, like the case of the fox who had only survived the snowmen attack because of Lothur's help. But on the other hand, the benefits of that place should be minimal for 3rd stage beings.

That was what Lothur had concluded after noticing his advances in these many hours since that ape had pushed him into the Immortals Well.

So he thought that part of the purpose of this place was to train 2nd stage beings. But whether there was a deeper reason for it, he had no idea.

'Is there some kind of answer in this place?' He became more curious as he moved deeper into this labyrinth.

However, Lothur could not continue with his theories in mind for long. When he and the demon had walked for about 15 minutes from their starting point, they found something in their way.

​ As they came upon a dead end of the labyrinth, Lothur and the demon were surrounded by creatures made of earth, which looked like a mixture of skeletons and golems.

They appeared in fractions of seconds from the walls of this place and quickly surrounded the only exit there to prevent these invaders from escaping their land.

At the same time, a specific item that Lothur had not yet noticed but that the demon was watching was suddenly taken over by one of the largest of these beings.

"Grrrg, klaaa!" This earth being, who was holding what appeared to be a marble, said in an incomprehensible language.

Lothur had not yet noticed that item. But upon hearing such a creature saying something, he immediately focused his attention on the sphere that looked like a small universe full of luminous points amidst the darkness.

'What is it?' He felt nothing from that artifact, as he observed such a thing with his visual ability.

But as he looked at the demon and saw that this creature seemed interested in it, Lothur concluded that it must be valuable.

'This demon is not of low rank and has certainly outlived me...' He figured that the knowledge of this being was not to be despised next to that of an ignorant person like himself.

He then let go of that blue creature's neck, preparing to fight the earth beings, whom he could not decipher cultivation by the system and visual ability alone.

'They must be like the snowmen from earlier...' Lothur put on his fighting stance, preparing to act.

Seeing the earth beings beginning to move against them, Lothur immediately moved, releasing some of his Mortal Aura as he used his techniques.

When he did this, the demon immediately looked in Lothur's direction with a bit of fear. But considering that this human had not done anything yet, this creature took comfort in the thought that the human did not know of a way to defeat it for good.

It then prepared to act and steal that unique item that could help it greatly in its journey of power.

'If I get this, I will be able to strengthen my weaknesses greatly!' It thought as it jumped against one of the earth beings in front of it.

But as the demon moved, the human surprised it immensely by firing his laser vision toward one of those earth creatures.

The moment Lothur's eyes turned red and a scorching intense laser shot out of his eyes, one of those creatures had its head melted into lava by this human's skill.

Gulp!

'What?' The demon dodged one of the enemy's attacks and looked at Lothur, incredulous at the power this person had achieved.

It had not yet seen this ability of Lothur's as it was unconscious when the young Ritter used such a thing a few times earlier. But seeing that, this creature felt it was underestimating its opponent and despaired.

'Damn it!'

'If this continues, he's going to kill me!'

'No! How can this be happening? I am a demon, a member of the Jal family!'

'I am Vurach Jal!

'How can a Monarch demon face something like this?'

As this creature despaired, looking at Lothur and feeling fear, the most powerful earth being of those watching them saw that the demon was too distracted and acted.

"Kratk!" Such an individual slammed hard toward the demon's head in the blink of an eye crushing this creature against the ground.

Lothur took the chance and attacked the primary opponent there with his Elemental Staff.

Pow!
