Mixed Blessing System



After leaving the Secret Realm, this man recovered from his previous situation and began his investigations regarding Lothur. After hours in this city, he had heard about the young people who had returned from the Secret Realm, especially those who lived in Peters City and had not yet left this place.

He decided to investigate these people to see if one was the hybrid of human and demon and to gather information about the one he was looking for.

He had already met two youths this afternoon, but none of them were that abomination, much less knew what such a being looked like.

Apart from Viktoria and Elke, everyone else in the Secret Realm had thought that the one behind that feeling was one of the beings native to that space. So none of them suspected Lothur and did not answer this man's questions for him to already have young Ritter as a suspect.

Hence, this man had arrived at this residence where two of the people he was looking for were.

'Neither of them is the one I'm looking for.' He thought, finishing scanning the bodies of those women.

Viktoria noticed the symbol of the Seraphim Church on this man's clothing and found it strange.

"We didn't see who was behind this phenomenon, so we can't say much about it. It just seemed very unusual... I imagine the one behind it is very strong."

"Hmm, he must be." That man said. "He's not human, after all. So I would advise you not to go near that feeling if you feel it again. I'm sure he was one of the 15 young people who entered that Secret Realm, so he might be one of the eight who left..."

He said not only to warn these women of the danger Lothur posed and for them to stay away from other youths who entered the Secret Realm. This man's goal in saying these things was to probe whether they were hiding or lying about their answers.

He would immediately arrest them and bring them in for questioning if they expressed suspicious reactions upon hearing his words.

If this were not the case, he would only ask a few more questions, for even someone at his level had to be careful when acting on this matter.

He was a powerful Saint, but if he crossed the line, his Church could face problems with beings from all over the continent.

Most races were against hybrids of demons and humans. Still, there were rules about handling the matter and the necessity to prevent demon hunters from victimizing innocent people.

No one wanted a half-breed to roam free, but the different races of this world didn't want their innocents suffering at the hands of the hunters either.

A huge society lay behind these demon hunters' rules, so even this Saint had to be careful acting against the mere youth of Peters City.

Hearing that, the three showed shock, not expecting to hear that Lothur was not human.

"What?"

"This being is not human?"

They asked simultaneously, while Saint could see that they were genuinely surprised by this.

'It seems that they are not part of his support group... Otherwise, they would know about his situation.' That old man thought as he felt disappointed.

One of the most terrible things about these half-breeds was that they easily won the hearts of their creators and their support network.

From this, they got protection and a means to develop quickly and safely.

But a member of a half-breed's support network would always know about their master's situation and would hardly show shock when hearing about their master's circumstances.

"Yes, he is a terrible hybrid of demon and human..." He said in a sighing tone. "Tell me some of what you experienced in the Secret Realm. After that, I will release you."

Viktoria was the most prepared of the three to lie before this elder and soon calmed her heart.

"About that..."

As she spoke, telling most of what had happened in the Secret Realm, since Larissa would surely be sought out by this man and tell the truth, Elke and Annaliese had several thoughts in mind.

'So that's why...' Elke thought. 'It makes sense that he is talented and progressing quickly.'

'Will my baby be like him? Or will it be like me?' Annaliese wondered.

But even full of doubt, none of the three would feel fear or disgust for Lothur just because of this information. They were already deeply connected to him, so this fact alone would not be enough to keep them away from him.

At the same time, even though he was a fearsome hybrid of a demon and a human, he had never behaved like the half-breed propagated by the legends.

So, after some time of Viktoria speaking, Elke joined this wife of Lothur in talking about the Secret Realm, saying nothing that could compromise her man.

But they had no choice but to mention his name, for that man himself would ask questions regarding him since the young Ritter had been arrested soon after returning to Peters City.

"So this Lothur, why was he arrested? For that matter, are you his companions? Has he ever shown any suspicious attitude?"

Elke said. "We are his companions. But for us, Lothur has always been a kind person who protects his own at any cost and someone who likes peace.

You can ask anyone who knows him. Lothur's life goal was to relax without engaging in battles or seeking conquests by leading organizations."

"Hmm, unfortunately, problems have prevented him from living in peace in recent months," Annaliese confirmed Elke's words.

This old man had already heard such a thing earlier from another person he had talked to, and for that reason alone, he did not have Lothur as his prime suspect for the moment.

But thinking about how peaceful this young genius, creator of the cars, seemed to be, he couldn't help but remember what the beasts of the Secret Realm had told him.

'They said that the half-breed was much more peaceful and reasonable than the legend of this cursed being... But it can't be that someone like that wants to live in peace!' He felt strange just thinking about that possibility.

'That would be like saying that a fish doesn't want to live on water! It's absurd!'

With that, he still wasn't putting Lothur as the prime suspect, but he was interested in following up with this young man to answer his questions.

As he finished with those three, he thought about the missing names. 'Now I have one more person in this city to investigate before the last three names left that right after the Secret Realm ended.'
