Mixed Blessing System

As he took his attention off the system and looked at the pools in that area, Lothur was tempted to take in more of that darkness. But as he saw the creatures around those areas staring at him intensely, he realized that it would not be easy to do that with them there.

No matter how fast he went, Lothur could not absorb the darkness of one of those pools moving, and those beings would not wait for him to 'absorb' the entire area. Not only would that take away their opportunity to train today, but it could even damage the area permanently.

They could even allow him to have done that in one of the pools since no one knew he was capable of something like that. But now, there was no possibility that these beings would accept him doing such a thing in yet another pool.

Since they were more numerous and stronger than him, Lothur had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

He looked at the demon on a toad's tongue. He gestured toward that opponent, indicating to return this blue creature to him.

The 3-meter-tall toad looked at the silver-haired young man and did not act immediately, remembering that it had to get in the way of this human's life. But its boss had not said anything to it about taking custody of this demon.

Another beast who was in one of those pools before Lothur got there then opened its eyes upon awakening and paid attention in front of it.

"Hmm? What's going on here?" It, a 3rd stage beast, a black lizard the size of an earthling bus, asked in its spirit voice as it saw the situation in front of it.

Unlike Lothur, these creatures took dozens of hours to recover from training in this area. So this being was not up to date with recent news and did not understand how there could be a human and a demon in this shrine of the local beasts.

Lothur saw that creature looking at him ugly as if it was imagining that he had invaded this place, and now these lesser beings were chasing him for it.

Thinking how difficult his situation would be if he faced all the beasts there, Lothur immediately used the Space Belt.

As he did so, he appeared next to the toad holding the blue creature and easily caught the demon, surprising that beast that was a little bigger than an earth car.

"What?" The lizard in one of those pools saw Minos acting and was impressed, jumping from where it was towards that group of beasts.

"Stop him!" It shouted as it saw Lothur looking in its direction, already with the demon clutched in one of his hands.

But just as this creature was about to strike him, Lothur used the item at his waist, teleporting to one of the two tunnels there.

Each chamber of the Immortals Well was connected. Thus, Lothur simply followed the corridor he had not yet passed, hoping to find another helpful area for his progress.

As he disappeared from the area, the weaker beasts there cursed their luck as that giant lizard fell on top of them.

'Damn it!'

'We've gone wrong!' The toad thought something similar to its colleagues, suffering the consequences of Lothur's unexpected move.

But other than the pain they felt in that instant, none of them were sorry about Lothur's escape. Besides the fact that there were more beasts in the different parts of this area, they knew that they could not catch this young man due to his speed.

So all that was left for them to do was to stay there and recover their injuries and fatigue in those pools!

...

After leaving the previous chamber, Lothur ran for almost a full minute inside that tunnel until he noticed a bright spot ahead.

As he did so, he noticed that the demon seemed quieter than before, but he did not try to find out why. This creature was probably depressed by Lothur's successive advances as it fell further and further behind.

With this in mind, Lothur smiled as he entered a chamber of bluish illumination, where he immediately found a place that seemed quieter than the previous one.

As he stopped in front of the entrance to that tunnel, he found several snowmen standing around the bluestone walls of that chamber.

Each of them had evil stares on their heads and red eyes that seemed to watch those who entered there.

Lothur noticed that besides him, there was a beast 'sleeping' in one of the blue pools at the end of that area, and another standing between the pools and that entrance, camouflaged with its own fur.

That one was an all-white, one-tailed, level 14 fox, a magnificent beast of 1.4 meters tall.

It was lying on the ground, positioned so that the ice in that area seemed to be camouflaging it from those snowmen.

'That human...' The fox who was there, also to hinder Lothur, identified this target of its and lamented that he had come to this place just as it was approaching one of those pools.

In this chamber were pools that could improve physical attributes simply by someone meditating in them without needing further testing.

Meditating in one of these pools would be similar to absorbing a special resource and waiting for its results.

The only problem was that to enter one of them; they would have to overcome the guards in the area to protect these ancient graves.

This fox had not gone after Lothur immediately because it had found a way to reach one of those pools without risking fighting those snowmen. But to its misfortune, just when it realized its plan might work out, that silver-haired young man arrived to hinder it.

It wanted to trick those creatures into not identifying it. But with Lothur there, this would be impossible to happen, and it would naturally be forced to fight!

As such, it could only curse Lothur in its mind!

Lothur, on the other hand, had no idea what was in that beast's mind. He looked at those snow creatures and thought that the purpose of this place was to challenge such things.

With this in mind, he stepped forward and released his Mortal Aura, causing darkness to surge in his surroundings as negative waves came out of his being.

The fox looked back and felt the negative feeling emanating from Lothur. Still, what bothered it the most was how idiotic this person was.

'Retard!'

'Now they will all attack us!'

At that instant, all the snowmen began to tremble, looking in Lothur's direction as they slowly disconnected their bodies from their positions.

Lothur saw this and smiled, thinking that these creatures would help him pass the test of this place and get more advances.

'I don't know their strength, but it shouldn't be enough to threaten me since these creatures weren't even noticing this fox...' He thought to himself as he looked toward one of his opponents and threw the demon at that figure.

'Shit!'

'I'll still return all of this to you, Lothur!' That creature closed its eyes and pressed its teeth together just before one of those things punched toward its belly, throwing it in the opposite direction from where it came from.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
