Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 517 I Am Different

Upon hearing Hilda's scream, Lothur immediately frowned and looked into his mother-in-law's eyes. "What?" He questioned.

At the same time, Viktoria and Elke were also startled by this unexpected warning, the two forming worried expressions without even noticing.

"What's going on, mom?" Elke asked as she took a step forward toward that woman.

Hilda said. "It's complicated... In short, Rebecca's situation is sensitive, and not only is she in danger but all of Peters City." She looked at Lothur. "Your mistress has asked you to be notified, so you will run to her house immediately."

With those words spoken, Hilda only had time to see Lothur saying goodbye to Elke and Viktoria before he disappeared from the surroundings without leaving a trace.

Young Ritter was already so fast that he could cross Peters City in a matter of seconds, so it would not be those people noticing his departure!

Hilda was impressed to see this but soon had her attention distracted by her daughter.

"Mom, what's going on?" Elke asked.

Viktoria then said to Hilda. "Tell us about it on the way to Elisabeth's house..."

"No." Hilda looked at her daughter and ordered. "You can't go, Elke. It's too dangerous for someone at your level to go anywhere near that area."

"What? What do you mean?"

After that, Hilda would briefly explain the situation to her daughter while Viktoria had already left, more or less understanding the problem.

...

Lothur quickly crossed Peters City, from a remote point on the south side of this city, the location of his factory, to the north side, where the neighborhood of his home, but also Elisabeth's, was.

Arriving there, Lothur immediately noticed the poisonous fog clouding three blocks around Elisabeth's house, already more or less understanding that there was a problem with Rebecca.

He already knew about the Ancient Poison Body and some of the implications of this Physique of Rebecca. As such, by connecting the dots, he realized that the risk his friend was taking was associated with the poison 'explosion.'

As he moved, the system issued him notifications.

[Bronze grade poison resistance.]

[Progress: 61%]

...

[Progress: 62%]

'Hmm, looks like the level of that poison 'explosion' is really scary.' He thought. 'Even with such a strong Constitution and Bronze-grade poison resistance, I am suffering...'

Resistance to any element depended first on the constitution of that living being. After all, it did not make sense to have a resistance lower than the Physique's capacity since that element would not be able to cause damage to the body for it to be stimulated.

So for the poison expelled by Rebecca's body to reach the level of even stimulating Lothur's resistance to poisons, it would have to be a poison so potent as to endanger Transcendents!

So Lothur was naturally impressed!

'Probably only those above level 15 in this city can withstand that for a few minutes without risking death... So only the local leaders should be around her.'

Even if Rebecca's poison was so strong as to be able to affect the bodies of Transcendents, that did not mean that someone below that level, for example, would die immediately upon being contaminated. No, this could even happen if such a person spent too much time exposed to it. But in order to do so, that individual would need to be poisoned for quite some time.

The level of poisoning necessary for Lothur's resistance to being stimulated was just enough to cause suffering, not necessarily to kill!

But even so, just from this information alone, Lothur could already imagine that people weaker than level 15, for example, would be at significant risk. As such, only the strongest in that city could be around Elisabeth's house!

'They are probably the ones who want to kill Rebecca to prevent the local citizens from suffering...' He thought a few seconds before he appeared at the door of his mistress' house.

There, some of those people from earlier were still surrounding that poison master's property.

Others had left to evacuate some of the population of that neighborhood, while some were circling the area to prevent curious onlookers from approaching.

The worst thing about the poison mist released by Rebecca was that it did not emit a bad feeling, as was usually the case with poisonous substances.

So unless someone knew that this mist was deadly dangerous, it was impossible to predict what it could do before someone was exposed to it!

In any case, Lothur came across the leaders of the Baier, Vogel, Frost, Waldeaur, and Becker families there, as well as the principal of the Morning Star Academy.

"What's going on here?" He asked, making those people turn to him.

"Lothur, how nice of you to come." Aiken said this, leaving his wife's side to speak to his son-in-law. "We have a big problem. Rebecca, your friend, is putting the entire city at risk, and we don't have many alternatives here..."

"We have to sacrifice her." The leader of House Vogel said that, but without looking at Minos to avoid drawing too much of that fellow's attention to himself.

Minos saw that after that person spoke, the others were silent as if they agreed with him. "Let's not do anything until I go in and see her situation."

"What if there are no alternatives?" Chris asked, looking at that fellow as the coroner Klossner stood beside him.

"If there is no alternative? Have you ever thought about getting her out of the city? Why do you just want to kill her?" He asked as he looked at the Duke of the Province.

August Klossner then explained the situation to the young Ritter. "Lothur, it's not that simple. The Ancient Poison Body releases this poisonous mist during its qualitative advancements. But its owner's skin becomes even more dangerous than that mist when that happens."

"So if this mist is already dangerous to us, imagine how bad it wouldn't be to touch it..." The Duke completed his friend's speech.

In normal situations, Rebecca's body was already poisonous, and she had to be careful about touches from other people on herself or from herself on others.

To give an idea, besides poison masters, only 2nd stage cultivators could touch her hands without being poisoned.

As for sexual intercourse, Rebecca had never been able to do that because the few times she tried, her partners always lost consciousness after touching their organs to hers.

Because of this, she still had her hymen intact, and besides rubbing up against other people who died soon after, she had never even kissed on the tongue!

But during the poisonous 'explosion,' everything would get worse, and she would become dangerous even for Transcendents like Chris and Mabel.

If it were not for this, they would actually do what he suggested, take Rebecca's body out of there and take it to an uninhabited area.

That had even happened in the past, when Rebecca went through her first poisonous 'explosion' when Elisabeth did this and days later made a deal with these local leaders regarding her disciple.

Lothur understood the problem and said. "Don't worry about it. I am not like you. My body will withstand it."

After those words, Lothur went toward the door of Elisabeth's house.
