Mixed Blessing System

After reading that, Lothur was surprised to discover an item, he could not use and would require so much of him.

'It looks like this is no good for me... It would take too long for me to be able to use it.' He thought before storing it in his spatial ring along with the other resources he collected.

After that, he began to meditate to recover the energy spent with his bloodline to destroy the demon and the other enemy.

In this way, Lothur would spend the next two hours meditating in that place, undisturbed by any being, be it the labyrinth or the beasts challenging that level.

Most of those beasts had never even come close to where he was, so they would not be the ones to disturb Lothur in those hours!

But when he awoke from his state and opened his eyes, young Ritter wasted no more time in that place and headed towards the sixth level of the labyrinth, the last of this challenge.

...

Walking through the sixth level of the labyrinth, as Lothur no longer had the demon to serve him as a living shield, so he was moving carefully.

In the first few meters he had already passed, he was the target of traps on more than one occasion, where spears, poison, and even fire had been thrown at him.

Luckily for him, he resisted most of these things and only had to dodge the spears that were not so fast as to worry him much.

His Perception was relatively high, and his Agility was not so bad, which enabled him to dodge such things when he was surprised.

But there were no 'forgotten' items on the path he had taken so far, so other than his staff in his hands, Lothur had not touched anything there for the moment.

But as he walked slowly and felt the surroundings with his Perception, Lothur was little by little sensing that he would encounter something powerful soon.

'There is something further ahead...' He could not see much ahead due to the fog. But his senses told him something was waiting for him on the other side of the fog curtain.

He clasped his hands around the Elemental Staff and decided to follow this path toward the other side of the mist.

As he put one of his feet forward, an ancient, hoarse voice came from that place.

"You... What are you doing here?" This extremely deep voice reached Lothur's ears, making him feel shivers throughout his body. "How did someone of your type get here? It's not possible that the beasts in this area..."

As it was saying something, the owner of the voice behind the mist in that area stopped and looked at Lothur more closely, feeling something strange deceiving its senses.

'That... What is that?' This creature made one of its paws come out from behind the fog and wrap around Lothur's body.

Lothur saw this and could not react in time, quickly getting caught by that paw that looked very much like that of a giant eagle.

Gulp!

'What the fuck is that? What kind of creature is it?' Lothur shivered as he noticed that he could not see the status of this being, which meant that it was probably not ordinary.

That being, with two large hind legs, two tiny front legs, a giant greenish body, a large head, and razor-sharp teeth, brought Lothur close to its eyes.

'That... What's with him? His body looks like one of those cursed beings, but his essence looks different!' This creature realized that Lothur was not the original owner of this body and hesitated.

If this were the original owner of this body, this creature would kill him without a second thought. But since that was not the case, the beast needed more time to think.

'It's as if his chaos has been removed and replaced by something peaceful and stable.'

Finally, Lothur could get a better look at what was holding him down, shocking him incredibly, as that being looked a lot like a tyrannosaurus rex!

'Damn it!'

'A fucking dinosaur!'

'How could such a creature exist here?' He wondered in his mind while his eyes and mouth were wide open.

"Who are you? What do you want in this place?" Lothur shouted after a few moments.

That creature felt no corruption coming from this human's voice, noticing that this small fellow was truly frightened by its existence.

It noticed that Lothur was not precisely what it had thought at first and calmed down a bit, placing this young man on the ground in front of it.

When this creature did this, it moved its front paws and made all the fog in the area disappear, revealing its whole body and surroundings.

Where it stood was a large circular area, surrounded by ice walls, like a dome, protecting this area, the last point of the labyrinth.

The dinosaur stood in front of what looked like a throne, where a humanoid skeleton rested, still dressed in noble garb and with various items on its body.

On its side was a small glowing crystal ball, which was projecting the realistic creature in front of Lothur.

'That...' Lothur noticed that what had just caught him was actually not a being itself but the projection of something that was elsewhere.

'Is it that strong?'

This young man had never heard of an ability of this level, so he could not help but think it was enormously powerful.

The dinosaur realized that the fellow in front of him had understood something and said. "Kid, as you realized, I'm not here. But don't try to fool me. I am still alive and can kill you from where I am."

"In any case, I will answer your question before we continue. I am the former mount of the creator of this place, who you can see behind me." It pointed with one of its front paws. "When my master was about to die, he created this place and left me the mission to wait for someone capable of reaching this place."

"I waited for a long time for that one, but for some reason, no one came for thousands of years. Eventually, I decided to depart and leave this projection of mine behind."

"Now you are finally here..." It said, feeling that it could fulfill the premise it had made to its master.

Beasts could live much longer than humans at the same level as them, so most of these beings lived to see their masters die and fulfill their last wishes. So, this being was a bit emotional, despite the time that had passed.

'Thousands of years?' Lothur thought to himself, quite impressed by this information. 'What kind of cultivator had such a powerful beast as his mount?' He looked at the skeleton there.

"Now, what happens?" This young man managed to muster up the courage to ask.

The creature looked into the eyes of this little being and said. "Now I will test you. If you pass my test, I will tell you the purpose of this place and send you to a place nearby."

"And if I fail?"

"If you fail, you will die."
