Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 347 Flame Resistance

When the two had their hands together, one making force to crush the other and the other trying to crush the one, Lothur had a decisive countenance on his face.

He was using a lot of his Will to withstand those flames already burning deeply into his arms and hands while trying to break the enemy.

At the same time, the young man from the Waldauer family had a look of fear on his face, feeling unbelievable pain in his hands and terrified by the look on Lothur's face.

His opponent looked like a beast!

While the two were in this situation, grains of sand continued to fall from the top of the hourglass, where there was still a little more than a quarter left for the match to end.

At the same time, the audience was silent, appreciating how decisive and hard-working Lothur was, even against such a powerful opponent.

Lothur was very strong and talented. Everyone knew that. But his Will to defeat those stronger than him was second to none of such characteristics.

Many could give up in the face of pain and situations as problematic as the present one. After all, with so many talents and possibilities, he had the right to lose or not be good at everything. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Everyone understood this, and no one would think less of Lothur if he gave up.

But still, there he was, giving his all, facing his opponent with a look typical of hungry beasts, thirsty for their survival.

Lothur was not there to lose. On the contrary, he would give his best as long as he had the conditions to do so. As such, even his enemies could not help but admire him and nod their heads in appreciation in his direction.

However, while everyone saw that and heard the screams coming out of the throats of Lothur and his opponent, this young man saw a system message in front of him.

[Abnormal temperature detected in the host's arms...]

[Activating emergency measures...]

[The host's arms were burned to the bone marrow for 1 minute and 32 seconds...]

[Iron-grade flame resistance acquired.]

[Progress: 69%.]

...

[Progress: 85%.]

Upon seeing this, Lothur suddenly stopped screaming, while a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He was not counting on the system to help him at this crucial moment. He was just fighting to defeat his opponent. Because of this, as he noticed the burning in his arms begin to subside, he could not help but feel incredibly good.

His opponent saw that Lothur had regained his spirits for some reason and lamented in his mind. 'Monster!'

Meanwhile, with each passing instant, less of Lothur's arms and hands burned, and the harder his hands made against his opponent's.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Such a person began to shout alone in even higher-pitched tones, startling all the people in the Coliseum.

"What's going on?"

"Why is only he screaming? Why does Lothur look better?"

People from all backgrounds shouted similar things, dubious as to what was happening to Lothur for him to withstand the pain of those flames and still hurt his opponent.

On the other hand, Lothur was thinking about what had just happened, realizing something more about himself. 'Did the system give me this resistance because of the time I was exposed to those flames? Or is it an ability of my body, my Physique, to produce resistance after a certain amount of time?'

Lothur's second hypothesis was the correct one. His Physique not only made it possible to raise his attributes after recoveries from significant damage. It also could generate endurance whenever it was tested to a specific limit, to a given degree. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

Earlier, Lothur had been burned by the flames of a spiritual formation. But those flames had only injured his body for a short time, insufficient to stimulate his Physique.

But this time, he spent the time necessary to develop this resistance and soon began to feel the effects he should have noticed when he was poisoned the first time.

The difference was that now he was unconscious, feeling and seeing everything in the present time!

So even though his opponent's flames were still acting on his body, Lothur was no longer feeling pain since such things could not burn him.

He then saw how far his flame resistance went.

[Progress: 95%.]

'Almost, huh?' He laughed in his mind as he saw the flames around his brutally burned arms and hands finally cease.

In that instant, his enemy collapsed in pain, with every bone in his hands broken!

Lothur saw this and released his opponent, then stood up to look in the direction of the match's referee.

But at that moment, no one, not even the referee, said anything, just impressed by this young man's resilience with two pieces of 'ember' in place of his forearms.

[EVF: 699]

Lothur saw his EVFs decrease, and then powerful energy circulated through his body, quickly helping him recover from those injuries to his forearms and hands.

The effects of this were immediate, with that part of his body beginning to regenerate, once again scaring people in the Coliseum.

The match referee saw this and wasted no more time, quickly announcing young Ritter's victory!

So, under the eyes of tens of thousands, Lothur walked to his wife's side as he saw more warnings from the system.

[+1.2 in CON.]

[+2.1 in WIL.]

[+1.1 in PER.]

[+0.2 in STR.]

[+0.3 in DEX.]

[+0.3 in AGI.]

...

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 9]

[STR: 28.2] [CON: 96.2] [DEX: 24.4] [AGI: 32.6]

[INT: 68.8] [PER: 72] [WIL: 78.6]

[EVF: 699]

Lothur looked at his status with the points already added, feeling good about the outcome of this match overall.

At the same time he noticed this, Viktoria looked at his arms with concern while the opponents nearby looked at him as if they saw a monster.

"Are you okay? Will you be able to recover fully?" She asked him as she touched her man's waist.

Lothur looked at her and saw the system screen, and pondered. 'I don't know if I can train my flame resistance with other opponents. So it doesn't make sense for me to keep myself in this state just for a training possibility.'

'In that case, I'll increase my Constitution a little more to protect myself from opponents of that guy's level.' He thought, considering that he could even raise his flame resistance, but that would be unlikely given the possible opponents.

On the other hand, it was always good to have cards up your sleeve, and he had already demonstrated a lot in this competition. So keeping this skill, a secret would be the best thing for him.

Not only that, but now that he had gained this skill, training and developing it would be easy!

Before, he had no idea of the possibility, so not raising it in this place would not be a problem.

"Hmm, everything will be fine, dear." He replied to his wife with a smile as he saw his arms almost fully recovered.

Simultaneously, the system screen showed the conversions for him.
