As she desperately cried out her husband's name, Mabel flew to him in fear, feeling she might lose the most important man in her life.
As tears formed in her eyes, she saw the expression on his face change significantly as his level of soul cultivation rose.
A strange smile appeared on his face, and then he struck out with a sword in her direction.
Aiken's golden sword transformed into a black blade charged with dark energy. At the same time, his armor underwent the same transformation due to the spectral aura taking over his body.
Amidst this, she momentarily made the mistake of approaching him in desperation and was struck by his blow!
"Aaaagh!"
Aiken's sword struck one end of her waist, damaging part of her armor and injuring her body.
While this was happening, the specter was rapidly consuming Aiken's spirit, using it to strengthen itself while having a corporeal body to use.
His mentality was still chaotic, but as he grew stronger, he became more aware of some things.
He slowly realized why he hated these people so much and felt he should kill them.
'I will make one kill the other!' This creature managed to form that phrase in his thoughts as he frantically attacked Mabel's body, eager to kill her or for her to destroy the body he had possessed.
He could go from there and possess other bodies, but what about Aiken?
Besides the fact that he was quickly having his spirit consumed, something as painful as being devoured while conscious, if the spectre left his body before his spirit was fully devoured, his life would still depend on his fleshy body.
If he were seriously injured, even if he survived being spiritually devoured by Simon's spectre, he would still die!
This was perfect for this spectral creature and his mission of revenge!
Mabel knew how spectres acted against their victims, for beings like this had long existed in this world. As such, she couldn't help but worry as she tried to dodge it.
'What do I do?' She was sweating cold, feeling that she was at a dead end. 'If I do nothing, the spectre will devour all of Aiken's spirit. But if I do, I could seriously injure my husband.'
The current situation was indeed dire. Any alternative would create further suffering!
Because of this, as she decided to act, tears ran down her eyes, for she knew that her husband's chances of survival were practically nil!
'I'm so sorry, darling.'
She was heartbroken, but unfortunately, her husband was already lost. If she let the spectre stay inside his body for too long, it would only create an even bigger problem for her and everyone in this city.
Including her daughters!
A spectre was limited to a certain area where they were born. But as they got stronger, the more area they could move in.
If this spectre reached level 17, there would come a time when all of Peters City would be under his grasp, and Viktoria and Annaliese would be in danger.
To avoid this, this woman swallowed the sadness of having to act against her husband and raised her weapon, a silver spear.
Sacred Art!
She pointed her weapon upwards, and as the side walls and ceiling cracked, several colored spears appeared in the surroundings while the silhouette of a fairy appeared behind her.
This silhouette was twice Mabel's size and glowed in an intense golden color, capable of repelling darkness in the surroundings.
The spectre inside Simon didn't have access to all his memories, so when he saw this, he immediately sensed this woman's distinct origin.
This was dangerous for him!
If he were in his spectral form, such a thing would be hard to hit him, for he had enviable moving skills. But inside a body, he was an easier target to reach.
But he had no fear. He was ready to sacrifice himself as long as he accomplished his purpose!
So he controlled Aiken's body and used the man's techniques.
Waterbody!
Aiken joined his two hands together and activated his main technique, using the powerful mental energies of the one controlling him.
Even though he was only a level 15 cultivator, he used powers equivalent to his wife, level 16!
With this, the spiritual energy in the area condensed into his surroundings, forming spiritual water while this became armor for his body.
Meanwhile, his sword covered itself with this water, along with the appearance of several drops in his surroundings.
After a second, such drops flew rapidly toward Mabel while her spears approached him.
With this move, a crucial battle for this family's fate would quickly begin, raising the spirits around this estate to a level that would be hard to miss around this city!
Meanwhile, hundreds of people from this family were fighting among themselves, most not understanding why their friends and relatives were rebelling and attacking everyone in their path.
In this way began the chaos of the Frost family, the beginning of the end of this ancient noble house!
After that night, it would no longer be as great as it had been, even at its worst!
...
Amidst the screams of terror and sounds of battle, Annaliese and Viktoria soon would realize that there is something wrong in their family and leave the Ritter family estate to come to this place where they had lived for years.
Along with them, several of Lothur's allies in the Ritter Motor Company would also show up, rounded up by the Koch family spies.
"What's going on?" Luis, the academy director, saw the chaos around the Frost estate alongside Chris, the Duke of the Province, and expressed concern.
"That... Spectres possess those people!" That level 16 man said, expressing strangeness on his face.
Viktoria clenched her fists and felt the spiritual fluctuations of her mother and father.
Annaliese also sensed that the two were fighting and, without delay, set off toward their residence, fearing that one would kill the other.
And so, those many individuals in the surrounding area would soon invade that property to help the Frost family.
Regardless of who that family was, if it fell to the spectres that day, all of Peters City would be in danger!
