Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 481 Bonus
[Dark Essence detected in the host's body...]
[The host's body has a high affinity for the detected substance...]
[Beginning absorption and distribution of the bonuses to the host...]
The system notified Lothur a few minutes after he swallowed the liquid that was in the small triangular pyramid-shaped vial.
And not long after the first warnings, which Lothur did not see because his eyes were closed, the subsequent warnings were presented in the traditional system message boxes.

While Lothur was feeling the effects of the evolution of his skills, a strong dark aura was condensing over his body, making the crushed parts of the demon's body tremble.
It was unconscious, but the demon sensed something threatening was near it.
As the darkness in Lothur deepened, reaching a new level, the demon's sense of despair was also slowly increasing.
If the demon were awake now, it would probably lose its last hopes against Lothur. At that moment, young Ritter's ability behind the demon's fear finally advanced!

But his resistance to the dark element did not advance in quality since it was difficult to reach the Silver grade when two powers were benefiting from the same source.
[Bronze-grade darkness element resistance.]
[Progress: 94%]

[Progress: 96%]
After a few minutes of feeling a pleasurable sensation, but also filled with coldness, Lothur opened his eyes and felt such characteristics of his stop at 67% and 99%.
[Host soul affinity with the darkness element increased by 100%.]
...
[PER: 144.1 -> 151]
Lothur saw his advancement in terms of Perception generated by the quality advancement of his Mortal Aura skill, which always came with a spiritual evolution capable of improving this attribute.
Seeing these considerable improvements, Lothur felt he could not contain himself and immediately drank the contents of the other vial, the one with the Fire Essence.
When he did this, unlike the cold and pleasant feeling from earlier, he felt intense heat, as if he were on fire. But although strange at first, this sensation was not so bad, and after a few minutes, Lothur felt relaxed, as if he had entered a sauna.
[Fire Essence detected in the host's body...]
[The host's body has moderate affinity for the detected substance...]
[Initiating absorption and distribution of the bonus to the host...]
Lothur had flame resistance, so the Fire Essence was useful for him to refine his ability.
As the darkness of moments ago dissipated utterly, giving the demon some peace, orange flames appeared around Lothur's body, but without touching his clothes.
It was as if the air above him was on fire without damaging the surroundings.
In this state, Lothur had the Fire Essence purifying his body and soul, improving some points of his being.
[Bronze-grade flame resistance.]
[Progress: 11%.]

[Progress: 19%]

Lothur's Fire Essence was of an inferior quality to the Darkness Essence. However, since this silver-haired young man had two characteristics that could be influenced by darkness, his results were less significant in each of them compared to his flame resistance.
Hence, after almost an hour of absorbing the Fire Essence, Lothur underwent another qualitative evolution process, achieving the Silver grade for that resistance! 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
[Silver-grade flame resistance.]
[Progress: 0%.]
...
[Progress: 1%]
With the termination of the Fire Essence in young Ritter's organism, the progress bar of his flame resistance stopped increasing when it was at 5%.
[Host's fire affinity increased by 150%...]
...
[PER: 151 -> 162]
...
[Due to the advances in affinity and flame resistance, the host's ability, One With Nature, was improved by 33.33%.]
Opening his eyes and seeing his status, Lothur felt that his spiritual professions would benefit greatly from this 'journey' of his.
[Name: Lothur Ritter]

Lothur felt full of energy once again upon seeing that and picked up the Elemental Staff shortly after he stood up and ran towards the demon's opponents.
Laser Vision!
Sss!
The moment he acted, Lothur immediately attacked one of the heads of those creatures that had similar peak 2nd stage powers.
When such a laser hit that head, the metallic being immediately stopped moving, as its stricken components melted.
Simultaneously, Lothur hit one of the knees of another opponent, trying to take them down as quickly as possible.
In doing so, he unbalanced that metal dummy and threw his staff toward the third opponent.
After moving that way, Lothur held with his arms the arms of that falling creature that had suffered the blow on the knee.
"Stay calm. It will all be over soon!" Lothur muttered into one of that creature's ears while his eyes glowed brightly in a red hue.
Once again, he used his laser vision, this time aiming at the demon's third opponent, who was trying to dodge the staff coming toward it.
With this quick action, in a matter of seconds, Lothur used up more than half of his strength but managed to knock out two of the three opponents that were left.
The metal figure in his arms watched Lothur's every move but could do nothing. Lothur's arms were too stiff for it to be able to undo the grip generated by the flesh arms of that silver-haired individual.
In this situation, Lothur puts some pressure on his opponent by using his memories of Earth time, using his arms and legs to immobilize and crush this creature.
He could not destroy it with this alone. Still, he could damage the creature's structures, which would later enable him to destroy it with his ordinary powers.
When he reached the maximum damage he could do without hurting himself by squeezing that dummy, Lothur let go of it and pushed towards the regenerating demon.
Such a metallic creature fell on top of the gathering and regenerating organs of that blue being and crushed them again before turning to try to act against Lothur, its new target.
When that creature managed to get up, the Elemental Staff flew into one of Lothur's hands, and he set his fighting stance, and the smile on his face broke out.
"Come, metal creature!"
Following those words, the two moved toward each other, bringing this fight quickly to an end after a few minutes of movement.
With that, Lothur would eventually move on alongside the demon to find new challenges until they reached the last point of this fifth level of the labyrinth!
