Mixed Blessing System

Eradicating the demon species would not be easy. These creatures were very skilled in their regeneration and could live much longer than beings of other races. That is, while the few specialists who could eliminate them had a short time to act against them, these beings could torment different generations.

They knew very well how to hide. When needed, they disappeared from the world for millennia, sometimes long enough for some specialists to die of old age.

Because of these special characteristics of demons, even in low numbers and even considering the long history of hostility they had with other beings, they still existed in this world.

So even though the number of demons to be killed for this purpose to be achieved was not so great for Concordia's killing scale, this was a high number of dead demons for someone to achieve in life.

Precisely because of this, to 'shorten' the path of the one pursuing this purpose, this person would have to specialize in different aspects and be a true cultivation genius. Only then, with various skills, affinities, resistances, etc., could this being be able to hunt and kill many demons.

That is why the tests and opportunities in the Immortals Well were so good but, at the same time, so difficult for most beings to take advantage of.

They were simply not designed for ordinary individuals but for the few monsters that could appear on this continent!

Anyway, Lothur understood about such a mission and asked. "What information were you going to give me anyway? Was it about this place?"

"No." The projection said. "It's about the Demon Emperor."

"To fulfill the mission left by my master, you will have to plan and eventually succeed in killing the Demon Emperor. The information I have is about when and where you will be able to start."

"Huh?" Lothur did not understand that, but he soon heard the explanation.

"You should not look for it before you become a Saint..."

"Uh, if that never happens, you should just ignore the mission and live your life. I'm sure someone else will reach this place in the future..." It said, trying not to put so much weight on Lothur's shoulders. "But if you achieve that feat, that will be the time for you to start looking for it."

'4th stage?" Lothur wondered to himself, feeling how high the threat level was. Even if it were at level 18, he would be in such danger that just looking for that being would already be so problematic for him that it would be better to give up.

The creature continued, ignoring Lothur's open mouth. "As for where, you can start your search between Norid and Rablus. Supposedly, demon leaders are often seen between those two states."

Norid and Rablus were empires in the northern part of Concordia, states so far from Leopoldine that Lothur had never heard of them.

"Supposedly?" Lothur frowned his eyebrows.

"Yes, supposedly." The creature commented. "The number of reports of demon encounters between these two states is somewhat high. And I must tell you, those are not weak places."

"They border the Ancestral Region."

"As such, the reports are not of weak beings but of mighty demons!"

He looked away and sighed. "But since no one knows exactly where the demon headquarters is, we assume it is near these two states."

Lothur understood the problem and no longer questioned that being, having just stood up to go to the side of the skeleton of that dinosaur's master.

But that creature added something else in its words for this young man to understand the drama of this mission. "Anyway, know that the demon leader of this era is not young, and this time its kind may end up defeating the other races of this world if they were not fought urgently."

Demons were very talented beings, but their cultivation was relatively slow. For example, the demon that generated the most recent Lothur Soul Bone had decades of life, and yet the cultivation at only the beginning of 2nd stage, even though it was pretty talented.

These beings had long maturation intervals, in which they hardly developed at all. After that, there would be periods of sudden development, usually associated with the period when their savagery would get stronger, and they would devour more of the human flesh.

Special resources could strengthen them quickly in the short term, but this damaged their foundations even more than would happen with pill-dependent humans, for example. Thus, these beings only used this possibility in troublesome times when their lives were at stake.

Beings like this got stronger and stronger as they got older. They did not have the problem of mere mortals who had their peak in the middle of their life and had to deal with the decay that would come afterward.

So the Demon Emperor was at its peak, while the beings who knew about it were mostly approaching or even already in the decay stage!

Lothur heard that and looked at that beast, feeling something in his mind as if this threat was not strange. 'Is that it? Is that what the system is for?' He wondered, thinking about the remote possibility that the purpose of the system was to fight the Demon Emperor.

But the system obviously would not answer him about that sort of thing, so Lothur soon returned his attention to the items on the skeleton right in front of him.

"All right. I'll remember those points." He said to that dinosaur.

After that, Lothur put one of his hands on the first of the three items, a golden ring with a red stone, which was on the right index finger of that skeleton.

[Golden Finger] [Rank: Gold]

[Characteristic: this ring can create a layer on the finger that the wearer of it chooses to place it on.]

[Detail: when activated, the finger chosen by the wearer becomes the Golden Finger, which is so tough that it can bring the finger's strength to the same level as the wearer's body power.]

Constitution was almost always the highest physical attribute of all since the other attributes were basically measures of how efficient that being's own body mastery was.

That is, if someone had a higher Strength than Constitution, that individual would end up in a lot of trouble if they used everything they had.

That was basically a guarantee of injury from one's own attack!

So Constitution was almost always the primary attribute, and having one's attack power raised to the level of it was no small thing!

Lothur liked that item but made sure to check out the others just to ensure he would not miss something better items in this place.

[Transcendental Necklace] [Rank: Gold]

[Characteristics: this necklace imposes elemental resistances on the wearer's body.]

[Detail: it can protect the wearer's body from elemental attacks of up to 100% of the wearer's power. It can also indicate the location of elemental fluctuations of the wearer's choice.]

Lothur saw that and soon understood that this should have been useful in demon investigation and fighting for someone without his characteristics.

'No good for me...' He thought before touching the third item while being watched by the Tyrannosaurus Rex projection.
