Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 496 Fear

That thick-skinned creature that Lothur was standing on suddenly felt a bad feeling in its being when Lothur's golden finger made its head bleed slightly.

In this area of the Three Great Lakes Region, this beast was one of those that had the best defensive characteristics. Because of this fact, this level 16 individual creature had not seen its blood for a long time!

The other rhino understood what its species mate was going through since it itself had seen its own blood more than 30 years ago when its father beat it up.

In that situation, it immediately realized that human was dangerous and could hurt them.

"Hey, slow down a bit, human. We're just playing!" The individual held hostage by Lothur shouted. "Isn't that right, Sacle?"

The other rhino was silent, looking at the surroundings, at the situation at hand, the escape route, and the fox near it.

'What do I do? If this human has such a strong body, his soul cultivation must be tremendous! Even the boss might not be okay if it has to face this person!' It felt a little afraid, but even considering that the best alternative in the face of this danger was for it to surrender, it was still thinking about running away.

Not everyone had what it took to wait for the strongest enemy to choose their fate!

Lothur realized this and released some of his Mortal Aura while giving one more warning to that creature. "Don't try to run away. If I want to, I can reach you before you reach my traveling companion!"

"Damn it, Sacle! What are you doing? Just admit right away that we're wrong!" The one with the head over the game shouted angrily, not liking its companion's cowardice.

Surrendering to a stronger enemy was not necessarily something to be proud of. But trying to run away from a problem that it itself created, well, that was the opposite of honor and pride. It was something to be ashamed of, the way of cowards!

Amid this situation, the white fox was surprised at the attitude of these beasts, but it had not despaired. Unlike these idiotic creatures, it knew Lothur's strengths well.

'In the blink of an eye, he can teleport to where I am and deal you a decisive blow, you beast!' It thought, remembering what it had seen of Lothur since they set out from the vicinity of the Immortals Well.

When they least expected it, Lothur made his move, using the Space Belt to appear near Ice, his finger already prepared to land a blow on that rhino.

Lothur made this move, and the individual with the bleeding head felt relief but did not want to wait to find out what would happen. The moment it felt free, it moved to start running away from there, regretting trying to play with this person.

As for its companion, it shivered at the sight of Lothur's sudden movement, but since the speed and reaction time difference between the two was great, this creature could not move in time!

Lothur strengthened his movement by using his Steel Body technique to strengthen the arm that the Golden Finger was on. At the same time, he sped up his movement to do as much damage as possible.

Pow!

In the blink of an eye, the attack hit its target, with one of Lothur's fingers hitting hard against his opponent's belly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" The creature screamed in pain before only making sounds for beasts to understand, falling to the ground in agony as Lothur almost went off balance from his finger getting stuck in that body.

'You're really heavy!' He planted his feet on that creature's body and jumped backward, disconnecting himself from the falling rhino.

Lothur noticed that his movement had hit one of this rhino's weak points, which was why he could defeat it with one blow. But his blow had not been severe enough to endanger his opponent's life.

That was because Lothur had already realized that a level 17 beast was watching him from the surroundings, and he did not want to punish that creature excessively. Therefore, just an exemplary lesson was enough to put an end to the problem created by those two without further irritating others.

Beasts and humans were not so different on this point. Some weaker beings could end up spoiling their closest ones. But powerful beings, almost without exception, did not like to interfere when one of their own suffered small defeats.

That served to temper the personality and will of these individuals, as well as to correct flaws that could lead to their death in different situations.

In the vision of these beings, it was not bad for one of their own to be beaten and deeply ashamed after not being avenged. That was infinitely better than always coming out on top in small situations and becoming overconfident when one could not.

Lothur realized this when he saw the creature watching him as he moved, even considering that such a being could probably stop him from hurting that beast.

So when he returned to Ice's side, he immediately looked off into the distance toward where that expert should be. "Is it a member of your tribe?"

The creature was silent for a moment but answered Lothur after a few seconds of observation. "Ah, yes, it is my son."

"Son?" Lothur looked more closely at the giant creature over 20 feet tall, which fortunately was standing still at the moment.

Ice looked at Lothur in concern, not knowing what the situation was.

"Well, human, I thank you for your mercy and for teaching my son this lesson." The creature said after seeing Lothur staying silent, knowing that the two rhinos had caused the situation and this human had basically defended himself and his fellow beast.

"Oh?" Lothur became less tense upon hearing those words, but he was still prepared to run if necessary.

"But I have a few questions for you. What are you doing here? Are you, by any chance, part of Daemon's group?"

Lothur heard his father's name for the first time and guessed that this must be the individual who led the group of humans in this region. Of course, he could not stipulate whether this was his father, but he judged that such an individual was part of this group.

"I am just passing through, leaving the region to return to human territory." He said sincerely before concealing some of the truth. "As for that group, doesn't my appearance remind you of anyone?"

Lothur did not know his father's position in this area or whether he looked like such a person. But it was very common for sons to share similarities with their fathers, even more so in the cultivation world, where the strength of some genes was greatly intensified.

So even though he did not know much about Daemon, this fellow used those words to 'improve' his position.

That level 17 being now had to wonder if there was anyone like him in that Daemon guy's group. Even if there was not, judging by Lothur's strength, it was likely that he was from that group, someone's son.

That was enough for him to pass himself off as one of Daemon's men!

Gulp!

'That...'

That creature took a step back, sensing that Lothur did look like one of those people...

Daemon himself!

'Is that his son?' The leader of the rhinos of the third lake wondered as it looked at Lothur and noticed how similar this young man's silver hair was to Daemon's.

'What is he doing here? Is Daemon around?' The rhino looked from one side to the other, fearing to irritate that person who was at level 18.
