Mixed Blessing System



As he stopped in front of the altar in that area, with the barrier deactivated, the great toad stood on its two hind legs. Then, it put its two front feet together and started the formation left by its master.

One Thousand and One Souls Formation: Activate!

As it did so, black and white energy surged from its front feet, surging from there towards the altar. At the same time, the metallic leaf that was already there before glowed intensely.

Amid this, the black and white energy made an infinity symbol around that item, slowly moving it from the meeting of the ends to the rounded parts of the infinity.

At the same time, the toad spat the second leaf in that direction, bringing it to the opposite position of the other leaf to complement the seal.

This seal had been created by its master and embedded in a formation etched into this being's body so that only it could manipulate the seal.

Through this formation, one could strengthen the seal's defenses. But it was impossible to weaken it on purpose, much less free what was there.

So, while it used its best to put another defensive layer on that ancient seal, all the creatures in the surroundings were calm, knowing that this move had no risk of weakening the seal.

Lothur watched everything with his visual ability, noticing that the remnants of the demons immediately realized what was happening and started trying to escape with more force.

But it was useless. Its previous action had not weakened the seal and was slowly evolving stronger with the addition of that new barrier.

Seeing that the problem in this area would probably be avoided, Lothur focused on observing that formation's structure, learning several useful things for his journey as a formation master.

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm As he was learning, the new leaf connected with the previous one and emitted a powerful pulse before slowly taking up its position next to the item Lothur had spent days struggling to reach.

When it finally got in sync with the other leaf, the remnants of the demons in that area and every being in the labyrinth realized the shocking change of this simple addition.

The seal had grown ten times stronger overnight, and even the creatures outside it began feeling pressure on themselves.

The giant frog jumped further away from that thing, feeling that if it stayed too long near it, it might end up being absorbed by the seal!

"That..." It closed its big mouth, at a loss of words to describe the terrible sensation it felt

But it was quick to reactivate the defensive formation on the altar to protect those leaves and the beasts there from that sensation.

Meanwhile, Lothur focused on the altar, seeing that while the demons had moved considerably away from their escape, those two leaves seemed to want to merge.

'What is that?' He wondered, seeing energy around the leaves distorting as one tried to touch the other.

But something seemed to be missing, and they couldn't take the final step to join together while they were alone.

'Are these leaves some kind of puzzle? Can they and what's inside them connect somehow?'

But nothing that would answer his doubts arose from his questions.

Lothur then looked at those beasts in the area, already feeling that the pressure from moments ago had greatly diminished due to the movements of the great toad.

"Well, no more worries for the moment. The seal has gotten much stronger, and those remnants will not be able to escape this place on their own. You can rest assured." He said, but it wasn't necessary. Everyone there felt it.

"And what are you going to do now?"

"Well, first, thank you for agreeing to do this business with me. It has benefited me significantly."

"We benefit more, in a way." That level 18 being said. "Those demon remnants would probably be able to escape this place in a decade or two. But with this deal, I believe that they won't be able to escape even if they reach their full potential as remnants.

The entire Secret Realm is safe because of this deal."

"Hmm." Lothur nodded, before saying. "Well, now I will go to Area 18 to do what I promised. Does anyone here want to accompany me? I can do it alone, but if anyone wants to make sure of what I will do, come with me."

Hearing this, the great toad said. "This time, I will go with you. The area is more secure than ever, and none of the young humans who entered the Secret Realm with you have a chance of entering here."

This Divine Soul Transcendent said to its subordinates. "Stay here and observe the area. I will return as soon as possible."

After those words, it looked at Lothur and said. "Shall we go? Now that you've leveled up, you can probably join me for a run, right?"

"I could do that before," Lothur said before turning and running toward the exit of that labyrinth.

When he did that, all the level 17 beasts in that last level of the labyrinth saw him disappear from the area.

His speed was so high that only level 18 beings could keep up with his movements!

That toad saw this and smiled, then took off from there to catch up with Lothur.

However, this great being would soon realize it would not be easy to catch up with this human, who could already be considered stronger than it.

So, it and Lothur would run for a little less than an hour until they reached Area 18, where the young Ritter would have to wait for 8 minutes for the toad after arriving in that cemetery.

When the great level 18 being arrived, looking at him strangely, even sweating, Lothur laughed and asked. "Can we get started?"

"Damn it! How strong have you gotten? How can you have surpassed me in the blink of an eye?" That toad questioned, full of doubt in its mind. 'What was inside that leaf? Was that valuable?

Damn, if I knew how to absorb that, I could become a Saint!'

Lothur said. "Yes, it's not for nothing that there are so few of those in the entire continent. Anyway, since you've arrived, let's get started.

The Secret Realm should be over in less than 5 hours, so I'd like to settle this soon so I can go find my women."

That beast did not object and soon saw Lothur positioning himself near the tomb of the creator of this place.
