Chapter 655 Say Your Name!



After hearing what Lothur wanted to do, the three women immediately agreed to accompany him to the former headquarters of the Frost family.

They then proceeded toward that place through the vacuum of space without calling attention to their movement.

For all intents and purposes, Viktoria, Elke, and Annaliese were still at their and Lothur's home.

However, the four quickly arrived at the place currently surrounded by dozens of local growers.

As they passed the group of lookouts on the outskirts of this facility, Lothur immediately noticed the signs of the battle that had taken place there.

He promptly sensed the darkness of this place, noticing the creature inside Aiken's body, but also spectres forming in the shadows.

"There really is something wrong here..." He said to his women. "More than two dozen spectres are forming here. If I didn't come here today, in no more than two weeks, they would fully form."

"What?" Viktoria asked in surprise, not understanding how that was possible. "How? How is it possible for so many spectres to appear in the same place?"

Annaliese and Elke were also full of doubt in their minds, for what they had learned at the academy diverged with the current reality about these spectres.

Unlike Viktoria, they were still studying at the Morning Star Academy and had been reading the spectre-related texts from that place.

They knew perfectly well that the formation of spectres was something special and extremely difficult to happen.

Lothur said. "I don't know... It seems that there is something wrong with our world. It's as if the wheel of reincarnation is broken."

Most people in that world believed in reincarnation.

Because of this belief, a whole theory talked about how more or less this happened, the minimum requirements to reincarnate, and how this reincarnation should be.

The most famous theory was that of the Seraphim Church, which said there was a wheel of reincarnation.

This wheel was like a water wheel. Souls came to it after death like a flow of water. Some part of this flow would manage to enter the compartments of the water wheel and, after passing through some stages, would return pure to the world.

On the other hand, some of the flow would not be able to enter one of the compartments of the water wheel. These would pass right under it and continue to exist in some form in the physical world.

For the Church, these represented the spectres, soul fragments, or even immortals!

In any case, the reincarnation wheel should be able to receive the majority of those with the capacity to start the cycle of reincarnation, and only a small part should remain in the second group.

However, from the number of people dead in this place and those coming back in the form of spectres, this rule was not working well!

"That..."

"But that would be terrible!" Elke said in a tone full of dread. "If that's true, we'll all become spectres someday!"

"Hmm, it really is a gigantic problem..." Lothur said.

But that was just his theory, not something he was sure was the problem.

"But I can handle these creatures, so let's not think too much about that problem for now. That's still something far away from us." He said, just before his group arrived at where Aiken was trapped.

Upon arriving there, Lothur saw several formations around the cell where this man's body was being held.

Annaliese immediately felt her eyes filling with tears as she came across her father's body, feeling how unfair everything that had happened was.

Lothur manipulated the space in the surroundings as his women looked at that man who had an ugly look on his face.

But the spectre of Simon somehow was happy, with a wide smile on Aiken's face.

When Lothur had finished forming a space where he could act without drawing attention from the people in the surroundings, he finally appeared beside his women to that spectre.

When Viktoria and Annaliese appeared, Aiken shifted his gaze and focused on the two.

Their sudden appearance was strange, but the chaotic creature inside Aiken's body could not reason well enough to notice the danger.

All he saw were these two that he still wanted to kill somehow!

He had killed Aiken, but wouldn't it be amazing if he used this man's body to kill his daughters?

He smiled mischievously as his hands clenched the bars of his cell.

Lothur noticed the murderous intent of this creature and left the side of his three women, walking toward that cell.

He deftly disarmed the surrounding formations, drawing that creature's attention but also opening gaps for him.

Just as Lothur was about to reach that cell, Simon used Aiken's body, displaying a level 17 cultivation, to try to attack in the direction of Viktoria, who he thought was the strongest there!

"Hmm, take it easy, horrible creature."

Suddenly, a hand squeezed one of his feet as he floated in the air, trying to fly towards Viktoria.

Pow!

Then, in the next second, Lothur used Aiken's body like a big hammer, slamming it against the ground.

"Aaaagh!"

A cry of pain broke from Aiken's throat as his head heavily collided with the ground.

While Simon's spectre didn't understand how Lothur could be so strong and shifted his focus from Viktoria to him, the young Ritter grabbed him by the neck and lifted him until their eyes were at the same height.

"Spectre, speak your name!" Black flames appeared in Lothur's fingers, penetrating Aiken's body.

The moment these black flames entered that body, Simon's spectre immediately felt threatened and tried to flee.

"Trying to run away?" Lothur saw this with his visual ability and squeezed Aiken's neck tighter.

When he did this, he increased the pressure on that body so much that Simon's spectre felt as if an extremely dense wall had taken the place of Aiken's skin.

He slammed against this wall and achieved nothing before the black flames finally reached him.

At that instant, a diabolical sound came from inside Aiken, even though the man didn't open his mouth or move his vocal cords.

A second later, the noise ceased, and the look on Aiken's face changed.

"Si... Simm... Simo... Simon..." He opened his mouth and said with great difficulty.

"Simon?" Viktoria and Elke heard this and clenched their fists.

There was no way for them to tell for sure whose specter each spectre that had appeared on this estate was. Their soul powers were different from those in life, and their appearances were monstrous.

Hearing that their uncle was behind it all, they both felt more hatred for this person, who had betrayed their family in life and then victimized them in death.

"Bastard!" Annaliese said as she stepped forward and shouted. "Lothur, kill him. Make him suffer as much as possible!"
