Mixed Blessing System

Yes!

When Lothur gave the order for the system to absorb the bone, everyone in the area felt something wrong growing in their bodies as they saw the bone glow and move toward his left arm.

"Damn it!"

"That damned thing is trying to absorb it right before us!"

Some of the beasts shouted, seeing Lothur\'s audacity.

But the humans of the Seraphim Church were too frightened to scream.

The speed of the Soul Bone entering Lothur\'s body was frightening!

Seeing how quickly the bone was getting under Lothur\'s skin, the humans in the area immediately attacked him with everything they had.

Lothur felt great pain throughout his body as he absorbed such a bone, and due to the circumstances he was in, he could not move. Thus, he stood still while his Golden Armor, the two-level 22 spectres, and the creatures summoned by his techniques were the only things in the area that could protect him.

When the first enemy attack hit him, his invisible armor revealed itself, glowing brightly as a burst of energy shot from the point of contact toward the enemy attacking him.

Boom!

Everyone in the area saw that if they attacked Lothur, they would risk some of their own powers attacking them back.

Seeing this and fearing the worst, the strongest Church elder there shouted. "Everyone, let\'s destroy the bone he\'s absorbing. Strike at the same spot with everything you have! If we don\'t, we will all die in less than 4 minutes!"

No one doubted the words of this human, as the beasts, demons, and humans in the area immediately focused on Lothur and began to press on his left arm.

If the bone was absorbed, it would gain Lothur\'s ability to regenerate; even if it was destroyed, it could regenerate. But until it completed its fusion with the young Ritter, it would still be vulnerable. Once destroyed, there was nothing it could do!

Lothur felt the number of attacks increases under his body as the spectres and skeletons around him tried to get in the way of the enemy attacks.

Unfortunately, they were not strong enough, and more than half of them perished instantly.

But when he was attacked, Lothur stood his ground as he absorbed the bone and saw his resistances kick in to protect his body.

Most of his resistances were Platinum grade, so the attacks of several of these creatures did not even affect the young Ritter\'s body and defenses!

But these were very strong attacks, and soon, his resistances began to rise.

A crack suddenly appeared in his golden armor while these creatures were breaking into a cold sweat, trying to destroy Lothur\'s left arm.

Lothur withstood the enemy\'s attacks very well. But even though he was slowly developing his resistance, Lothur still didn\'t have all the elements on his side, and the soul forces of these creatures were simply too strong.

The mental pressure they put on him was too much, and even his Platinum armor broke after one and a half minutes of continuous attacks.

Lothur\'s expression became even more pained as he felt the hurt from the absorption of the Soul Bone and the enemy attacks that were rapidly destroying his skin.

Even though Lothur was using almost all his soul power to strengthen his body, he was still limited to less than 12,800. But his strongest enemies had stronger soul powers than that, and several of them were attacking him simultaneously!

Suddenly, Lothur heard a strange sound from his left arm and turned pale.

\'Damn it! If I don\'t do more than defend myself, I\'ll lose this bone.\' He thought.

But his situation was not that simple. Any movement that threw his being off balance could cause the absorption of the bone to fail. If that happened, the bone would be lost!

But seeing that he had no alternative, Lothur subtly moved his hands, forming a seal of one of his techniques.

Omnipotence!

Activating his most advanced technique, Lothur felt his total defensive characteristics rise to nearly 14,500 points.

Gravity!

He activated one of his abilities, using much of what he had to create several meteors in the sky, drawing them in the direction of where he and his opponents were.

"You are powerful, hybrid, I admit that! But today is your end!" The strongest of the Church shouted, pouring what little energy he had left into his lightning attack.

The rest of Lothur\'s enemies did the same, finishing off the silver-haired young man\'s remaining allies.

As Lothur\'s abilities showed themselves almost simultaneously, with blue and black flames exploding around him, strong winds cutting through the area again, and meteors falling over the area, his left arm could no longer hold.

Almost completely destroyed, only the bones of that arm could be seen as everyone in the area realized that Lothur was only seconds away from succeeding in his intention.

But at the last moment, to successfully absorb the bone and receive the bonuses that would come from it, a large crack suddenly appeared on the colorful bone in his arm.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

Lothur screamed in pain as he felt his opponents\' attacks hurt him at a speed that exceeded his recovery and defensive abilities.

He tried to use the Darkness Scythe to deflect the enemy\'s attacks. Still, only a few of the enemy\'s attacks were deflected.

Unfortunately for him, many enemies surrounded him and unleashed all of their power on him.

Crack!

As everyone watched the bone crack, Lothur\'s heart leaped, and his eyes trembled as he looked at the bone.

Boom!

In a single instant, the bone stopped cracking. Then, it exploded into countless fragments, releasing an energy pulse that spread for hundreds of meters along with colorful dust.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

This time, Lothur was the one who cried out in despair as the best Soul Bone this continent could produce vanished before his eyes just as he was about to absorb it.

Everyone around saw this with relief. If the situation were either Lothur absorbing the bone or them destroying it, then everyone there would prefer this one, even if such a bone was precious to many of them!

Seeing the bone destroyed and feeling exhausted, those Sages stopped attacking Lothur.

They wanted to kill him, but with the situation everyone in the area was in, that was basically impossible.

Having used everything they had to destroy the bone and withstand Lothur\'s many attacks, it was time for them to retreat!

But when Lothur noticed this, his eyes were red with hatred, and he made a terrible expression to threaten all those beings.

"I will not forget what happened here today, you bastards! You owe me a Diamond-grade Soul Bone!" He said as he saw those beings running away.

"I will kill each one of you. I\'ll start with you four!" He flew at the fleeing demons.
