Mixed Blessing System

Hearing its neighbor's scream, the red bear finally realized its enemy's strategy in pitting it against that eagle.

"Damned human! You think you're going to stop me just because that old eagle is in my way? Dream on!" It said as it ignored that white bird coming towards it while attacking Lothur and the demon again.

"Damn it!"

"Stupid bear! I already said I didn't try to invade your territory! I was taken there without choice!" Lothur shouted as he realized that such a creature would keep attacking him, even if it would create openings for that eagle.

"Who are you calling an old eagle, Moomo?" The eagle shouted in an irritated tone, ignoring Lothur's words as it looked intensely at that bear.

"Shut up, old eagle!"

"That human who brought me here. So don't bother. I'm not aiming for your territory. Once I get his carcass, I will leave." The red creature exclaimed as Lothur used the Space Belt to deflect his opponent.

"Bullshit!"

"You're using me as an excuse to invade this noble bird's territory!" Lothur shouted as he appeared dozens of meters in front of Moomo.

"Bastard!" The eyes of that great beast turned red with hatred as it ignored the white bird to run after Lothur.

That was already getting rather annoying for it. Every time it was going to end its opponent's life, such a person escaped like that.

At the same time, not only was Lothur consuming his energy while using all his methods to deal with this creature. This bear was also getting tired since, to be able to stop this young human from escaping, it had to work very hard.

Since it was already in another creature's territory, it was starting to feel more nervous. After all, it would be at risk if it spent too much energy in this place.

It might be a little stronger than that eagle, which was why it was talking that way. But that could quickly change depending on how things developed.

"It's been a while since I've eaten human flesh... But today I will, you worm! Just wait. I'll roast your body and use your bones to clean my teeth!" It said, constantly using its paws and claws to cut the ground in front of him.

Seeing how Moomo was ruining the surroundings where it lived, the old eagle could take no more and attacked its neighbor with a high-pitched scream.

By opening its beak and making its throat work, this level 16 creature produced a powerful sound attack in the direction where Lothur, Moomo, and the demon were.

Lothur realized this in advance, given his visual power. So he promptly teleported away when he sensed that this eagle was getting ready to attack.

When he did this, the demon felt relief that it had not been attacked by it, looking away and seeing the bear attacking them, bringing its front paws to its head.

Unfortunately for these two, the eagle did not intend to allow them to leave. As Moomo tried to endure the sound it produced, it flew toward the two humanoid beings.

Winged beasts were much faster than those common ones. So even though it was the same level as Moomo, a little weaker than that bear, that eagle was much faster and soon caught up with Lothur and the Monarch demon.

"Damn it!" Lothur saw that and whined, feeling that it would do no good for him to try to run away since doing that a few more times would exhaust him, and he would end up in that same situation.

In this case, since his plan had failed, he stood to try to deal with this terrible situation!

"Senior, have mercy!" He shouted as he felt the claws of this creature piercing his back and carrying him high above.

Such a creature carried Lothur at the highest speed he had ever been. Still, he could not enjoy the moment as that beast was carrying him higher and higher.

"No..." He muttered as he realized his situation until that eagle made a spinning motion and hurled him high into the air.

"If you survive this, I will give you a chance to speak." That old beast said as it prepared to return to where the bear was recovering from that sound attack.

"Shit!" Lothur shouted once again as he tried to position himself above the demon's body, intending to use it as a buffer from his fall.

Steel Body!

He also activated his defensive technique as much as he could, preparing to use the Space Belt once more to lessen the damage to his body.

'I can use three more teleports before I become exhausted...' He considered this quickly. 'On the other hand, I can't do much to slow down my body speed, so even if I don't fall face-first into the ground, I'll get hurt when I land somewhere.'

His fall was very high, a few hundred meters. Hence, it would not be possible for young Ritter to teleport from his starting position to the ground without suffering the effects of gravitational acceleration.

In this case, the only way for him to save himself from this fall would be to use two of the three teleports to decrease his acceleration gap and get close to the ground at a lower speed.

With this in mind, he did the best he could and began to use this artifact at his waist to save his own life.

Zum!

...

As Lothur was doing that, the eagle had already reached the ground, standing face to face with the red beast that had offended it earlier.

"Old eagle, why did you do that? You know we are not enemies!" The bear said while having its ears stained with blood, given this eagle's unexpected attack.

"You should learn to respect your elders, Moomo." It said while looking at such a bear seriously. "On the other hand, you shouldn't be so hard on that human. Didn't you see who he is carrying?"

"The demon? What about it?"

"It's a Monarch demon, a noble of the demon race, idiot!" The bird said as it shook its head. "I heard that a few weeks ago, the region leader had a problem with a group from the Seraphim Church chasing some demons..."

"Oh?" That red being opened its big mouth in surprise, finally connecting the dots.

But before it could say anything else, Lothur and the demon finally teleported one last time, with that young man choosing a position to 'land' in one of the trees there.

When he appeared in that spot, his accelerated body made him continue on his way, going instead to the ground, towards the trunk of that tree.

The demon was already in front of Lothur's body, and the moment the shock happened, such a creature suffered by having several parts of its body crushed.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" It shouted before passing out.

Soon after, Lothur also screamed, feeling several of his bones fracturing, with the muscles in his body suffering minor injuries.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Lothur felt as if something had burst inside his body, and his vision turned red, simultaneous with blood beginning to flow out of his eyes, mouth, ears, and nose.

At that moment, he felt one of the worst sensations since his arrival in this world. Although terrible, his injuries were not enough for him to lose consciousness. Then he felt everything there was to feel, groaning in pain as he trembled over the crushed body of that demon.

The two creatures oversaw this, watching to see if the young human would survive.
