Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 468 The Way Of The Mighty
When Lothur moved to attack one of those snow creatures, the fox thought at first that he would get in its way. But soon, it realized the human was helping it.
'What? Why is he doing this?' This white creature wondered, but without stopping moving to dodge the attacks of one of the snowmen.
The other snowman in its vicinity had already taken its attention away from it to confront Lothur.
This young man was already ruthlessly going against its weak points!
The fox could not destroy the snowmen's bodies as Lothur could. But it could damage them in a way that they temporarily slowed down. So it had defeated the third of these beings. Because of this, those two were already partially degraded and with lower combat prowess than at the beginning of the fight.
Lothur had noticed this and seen weak points in his opponent's body, quickly searching for them with his Elemental Staff.
When he hit one of those points on his opponent's right knee, Lothur not only caused that creature to stoop as it stepped in a false step but also caught the fox's attention.
'Is that how he defeated the others?' It thought that if it worked together with Lothur, it might get better results.
So, as its opponent was attacking it, it jumped towards Lothur, looking as if it was going to attack this human.
Lothur promptly turned away when he noticed this movement, finding this beast acting strange.
But soon, he realized what the purpose of this fox was!
Swooish!
The claws of one of that beast's paws cut the air with its movement, heading toward the knee that the Elemental Staff had just created structural weaknesses.
When its claws touched that body of snow, cracks immediately appeared where Lothur had attacked earlier.
"Oh?" The silver-haired young man opened his mouth in surprise, noticing that the creature wished to work with him.
"All right, let's defeat them!" He said before moving against the other snowman that the fox had just escaped when it went to attack that opponent of his.
With that, he would soon alternate with that beast fighting those two snowmen. He would weaken the knees of those creatures, and the fox would increase the weak points in the knees of the two, increasing the cracks.
That went on for 10 minutes until the snowmen's knees could no longer take it, and they collapsed to the ground.
When this happened, Lothur and the fox looked at each other and immediately started running to the blue pool area.
The snowman dealing with the demon realized they were running practically free in that place and abandoned its brutalized opponent to chase after them.
Fortunately for those two, even though they were almost exhausted and wounded from the previous fights, they managed to reach the safe area because of their position advantage!
As the two entered that area, the snowman left standing stopped its movement and turned its back to them, looking back at the demon.
'Oh, no...' That creature saw that and whined, not taking long to return to the nightmare of a life it had been having since it met Lothur.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
As the screams of that demon made their presence felt in the area, Lothur and the fox looked at each other and nodded as if in gratitude for each other's cooperation.
'You're not so bad, human.' This white beast looked at him and nodded. 'Even though you are a bit dumb, you don't have a bad heart.'
Meanwhile, Lothur realized that beasts could be reliable and even act as partners, noting that it would not be terrible to have such a companion. 'Can I get some beast to follow me after this place?'
The two were quite happy with the situation but were feeling terrible physically. As such, even with many thoughts in mind, satisfied that they had made it that far, they both soon entered pools commensurate with their sizes.
While the fox fell into a meditative state, Lothur relaxed on the comfortable waters of that pool, feeling a refreshing sensation spreading throughout his body.
'Ah, this is really good...'
He then looked at his status, with all his progress during the last hour of battles. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

He had used his techniques quite a bit in this place, having suffered to defeat four of those creatures alone and two of them alongside the white fox. So the benefits of this 'training' had not been small!
'Hehe, coming to this place wasn't bad...' He imagined this, feeling icy energy entering his body and heading toward his skull as he fell asleep.
...
Meanwhile, in one of the central areas of the Three Great Lakes Region...
A man with silver hair and a beard of the same color was sitting in front of the main lake in the area, sipping a hot drink while enjoying the beauty of the area.
From there, he could see the mountain range that separated Leopoldine from the ocean, as well as much of the vegetation that covered almost that entire area, a beautiful view to have in the morning.
Meanwhile, behind him was an old town in the area, 'abandoned' since the time of the Leopoldine family's conquest but which still had things somewhat advanced by the standards of this state.
"Lord Deamon, we have information that Lothur teleported to the area the previous day. He is currently training in one of the beast's areas of our territory." A man on his knees behind young Ritter's father said this, reporting the message they had received from the red-eyed woman.
"Oh? He used the item Josef gave him faster than we expected." A person next to Daemon commented this in a low voice.
"Who's keeping an eye on him?" Daemon asked.
"The Miss." Such a person said after swallowing his saliva.
'The Miss' was someone who had once been a part of this group but was no longer. But now and then, she participated in some actions and even collaborated with them, like in this case.
On the other hand, she had faced Daemon more than once, so her status was somewhat complicated, and that man did not know how his leader might react.
Daemon heard that, took another sip of his drink, and closed his eyes as if he was just enjoying its taste.
"Whatever. Let her do as she wishes." He said after a while.
"Don't you want us to seek out Lothur? Since he has become a cultivator, we can teach him a few things and make him one of us." The man next to Daemon said.
"No," Deamon replied without hesitation. "Lothur is free to decide his own fate. If we meet one day, it will be by chance."
"But won't he be in danger?"
"I have already given him this opportunity to grow stronger. I hope he will use it and no longer have to run away as he has done now."
"I will not open any more doors for him," Daemon replied. "With this opportunity to come here, I am paying for all the years of absence in his life."
"From now on, let him go about solving his own problems!"
