Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 865 Diamond-Grade

Upon receiving the latest news from Leopoldine, especially what had happened in Peters City, the women of Lothur could not contain their joy.

"He's alive! He's really alive!" Elke commented as she felt her eyes well up with tears, finally receiving confirmation of her husband's vital status.

Until now, she and her harem sisters had been in the dark about Lothur's true situation. They knew he wasn't dead, as his slaves of darkness still served him. But that didn't mean he was well.

For all they knew, Lothur could be unconscious, in a coma, while his situation could be dire, and he could be between life and death.

At any moment, his life could be snuffed out, and he could die forever!

So, even though they had been hopeful about their husband before, they were somewhat pessimistic about Lothur's situation.

Having just heard from a Saint of the Seraphim Church about the situation that had recently developed in Peters City, the four were overcome with emotion.

For weeks, they had lived in seclusion in that city, strengthening themselves to help the continental coalition against the demons while knowing nothing and being unable to do anything for Lothur.

Rebecca, Elke, and Annaliese had even gained new Soul Bones during that time, reaching the same number of bones as Viktoria, 8, with two of them reaching level 25 in soul and body cultivation.

Only Rebecca was at level 24, but she was very close to breaking through to the 4th catastrophe of the 5th stage.

But even though they had all become stronger and spent most of their time cultivating recently, all they wanted to do was fight the demons and avenge what had happened to Lothur.

Whether he was alive or not, it was sure that he had suffered a great loss at the hands of the demons. That had to be avenged!

Unfortunately, they were precious to the alliance and had been kept at the Church's headquarters to act when things became more chaotic in the war.

However, they understood why they were in this place and not fighting on the continent and waited for the moment to act.

Amid the boredom of being stuck in this place, hearing about Mabel's progress to level 25 and Lothur's return was very good for all of them!

"It looks like we'll see him again soon," Viktoria muttered as she closed her eyes and thought of Lothur's face.

With him back, she was sure it would only be a matter of days, maybe weeks before they would meet him again.

"We should go after him!" Annaliese commented.

"No. If you leave, ladies, the demons will find out about your powers, and you will become their target." The woman who had delivered the news of what had recently happened in Peters City said, trying to avoid a big mistake on the part of these women.

Victoria wanted to see her husband again, but she knew the risks and agreed with this person from the Church. "We can't go to him. Our situation is still the same, Anna. We have to let him come to us.

But don't worry, now that he's back, it won't take long. If his ability can be used without limits now, he'll be able to reach Demon Island soon. At that time, he will definitely come to us."

According to the report they had heard from the Church woman with them, Lothur's bloodline ability had changed, as before he could only use it for a few seconds before being forced to go 24 hours without using it. The recent battle in Peters City had lasted much longer than that, but he had still used his ability continuously, causing the deaths of dozens of demons.

If his ability had evolved, Viktoria was sure he would get stronger quickly and soon have Soul Bones for her and her harem sisters. When that happened, he would surely come to them or send those bones to them so they could come to him after absorbing them.

But although she missed her husband, Viktoria was calm enough about the current situation to wait a little longer.

Annaliese clasped her hands together, feeling it made sense, but she also wanted to see her husband again.

Seeing Annaliese clenching her fists in frustration, Rebecca sighed and said. "We can't go to him, but that doesn't mean we can't talk to him."

"Oh?"

Rebecca explained. "We can use our communications network to talk to Peters City, especially the Koch family. They will certainly be able to connect us with Lothur."

The Ritter Motor Company's communications network already covered most of the continent. So if Lothur had a communication crystal with him, they could connect to it!

Viktoria's eyes lit up when she heard this, as she hadn't thought of this possibility.

'Indeed... We can do that.'

...

Hours later, in an underground area near Thasan's eastern border with Utrary...

At that moment, in a dark underground area of an old building, a red mist was slowly diminishing in intensity, while the silence in the surrounding area would easily frighten the most sensitive ones.

The place in question was dark and cold. Still, suddenly, several glows appeared in a large area of 500 square meters, with a lot of spiritual energy emanating from each of the more than 300 glows there.

Upon closer inspection, these bright and colorful spots were generated by the special essences of this world, the Soul Bones!

As these many Soul Bones floated in the air, the red mist finally dissipated completely when a single person in that area opened his eyes and smiled, feeling a great change in himself.

"Diamond-grade... I've finally reached it! Lothur thought to himself as he saw the first of his traits rise to the next quality level!

His resistance and affinity to the darkness element had finally changed the quality and reached Diamond-grade!

Meanwhile, most of his affinities had evolved and moved closer to Diamond grade.

With the EVF points he had absorbed from the group of demons he had just vanquished, Lothur continued to increase his Soul power and Constitution, finally reaching level 25 of body cultivation.

As he was about to reach the 5th catastrophe in soul cultivation, he had a satisfied smile when he saw his status.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Soul Cultivation: level 25]

[Body Cultivation: level 25]

[STR: 9,508] [CON: 60,800]

[WIL: 5,850] [SOU: 108,600]

[EVF: 19]

But while he was looking at his attribute points, an item in his spatial ring suddenly vibrated and caught his eye.

'Huh? Is someone trying to contact me?' He immediately summoned the vibrating communication crystal in his spatial ring.

The moment he activated it, Lothur heard a voice he hadn't heard in months.

"Lothur, are you there? How are you?" Annaliese's voice sounded, bringing a smile to the silver-haired man's face.
