"I already planned to do that," Lothur said, looking into that creature's eyes.
Then, as Viktoria clenched her fists and felt a lump in her throat, and Annaliese stared hatefully at her father's body, Lothur's eyes turned completely black.
His silver irises and even the sclera of his eyes had become black as night.
Meanwhile, flames of death surged around Simon's spirit, beginning to burn everything left of him in this world.
Simon immediately began to cry out in pain when he saw the darkness in Lothur's eyes, emitting indistinguishable sounds, making even the spectres in formation around that property cringe.
When Lothur had overpowered him, he regained some more of his memory and understood more of who he was, where he was, and what he had done.
As he thought about it, he only felt more for, remembering that his wife and son, as well as his plans, had been destroyed, and that would never change.
He wanted to get revenge, but there was nothing he could do in front of the death bearer slowly executing him.
Simon couldn't be sure that Mabel would die and Viktoria and Annaliese would certainly stay alive.
Next to this creature that was even worse than he was, few things could put them at risk.
So as his spectral body slowly burned, his agitated screams were a demonstration not only of the torturous manner in which he was murdered but of his great disappointment.
Lothur slowly watched the spectral body inside Aiken's corpse shrink in size, staring at him without any mercy.
'That's right, Simon, you have failed at everything you have done. You are a failure. Doesn't it bother you to be so useless?' He thought about it as he noticed the creature's great disappointment.
Given the fact that, at the present moment, Simon was a slave of Lothur, his thoughts reached the creature's mind, making him feel terrible.
After a few moments of mental and spiritual torture, finally, every trace of Simon's forbidden existence had been erased by Lothur's flames!
When this happened, the look on Aiken's face froze, and the stillness of death came over his entire body.
Lothur realized there was nothing more of a spectre there and quickly closed Aiken's eyes before setting him down respectfully.
"He is dead. Simon will never cause trouble for your family again, Viktoria, Anna." He sighed, looking at the corpse of his father-in-law.
Despite everything, Aiken had never been a problem for Lothur, and he even respected this man.
'Rest in peace, Aiken Frost.'
He then turned away from Aiken's corpse, letting Viktoria and Annaliese finally look at that body without the hatred of the spectre that had inhabited there earlier.
They both shed tears once again, finally with their father's body to send him to his eternal rest.
After some melancholy comments and much weeping, Viktoria took a coffin from her spatial ring and stored her father's body.
"We will have a proper funeral for our father when our mother awakens." She said to Annaliese as she hugged her sister.
"Hmmm."
Seeing that, Elke squeezed her breasts as she hugged her own arms, feeling bad for those two.
"What now?" She asked Lothur.
"Now, I will purify this area," Lothur commented before moving away from her a little.
He circled his energies and then made a hand seal, causing the spiritual energy in the surroundings to stir as he changed its stationary situation to quickly enter the ground.
Cruel Underworld!
The surroundings of the entire Frost family headquarters suddenly began to move as if the ground was shaking.
"Hey, what's going on?"
The men on the outskirts of that place felt that something big was about to happen.
Thinking of what had happened to the Frost family, many immediately felt sweat dripping down their bodies as they reached for their weapons.
Amidst the widespread fear of many of the onlookers in this place, the shadow creatures in the vicinity of this estate sensed a great change there.
Suddenly, something was calling to them, empowering them to finish their formations but also connecting them to him.
'Creator!'
'The creator is calling us!'
Some of these lost souls immediately left their positions, going to where Lothur was underground, without showing themselves on the surface.
This went on for a few moments until, within the area manipulated by Lothur, several of these creatures began to rise from the ground.
"What?" Elke exclaimed in surprise as she noticed Lothur's soul technique, seeing over 20 shadow warriors appearing in their vicinity and kneeling at the young Ritter's feet.
Viktoria and Annaliese put their tears for Aiken aside and looked at what was happening, seeing an army of shadows forming near their man.
"What is that?" Viktoria asked.
Lothur continued making a hand seal and said. "All these shadow soldiers would form a spectre on this estate for the next few days.
But now I am going to purify all of them."
"That... But several of them are 3rd stage beings! Are you saying we would have to face dozens of Transcendent spectres if you weren't here?" Viktoria opened her mouth in shock.
Lothur shook his head, indicating that would be about right.
His technique strengthened these creatures, but most of them could easily reach level 16 if no one stopped them.
Anyway, with that answer, the three of them stood with their mouths open as they watched those creatures finish forming and then advance toward Lothur's body.
Moments later, as smoke billowed from his body as if he were a huge chimney, the auras of those creatures disappeared forever.
Without any resistance, they were all eliminated as they tried to enter Lothur's body and were mercilessly erased by the system.
After a full minute, smoke finished coming out of Lothur's body, and he opened his eyes, feeling the good feeling of finishing a job.
"All right, this property is cleared. You can re-occupy this place anytime you want." He said to Annaliese and Viktoria.
"Lothur, thank you." Viktoria and Annaliese finally wiped away their tears and approached him, simultaneously hugging him.
"How should we use this place?" Viktoria asked. "I thought it would be better if we took all the Frost family personnel to our headquarters."
"About that, let's keep only the main forces in that place. Let's leave this place as our front headquarters. It will be easier to hide that way." He suggested before looking in the direction of the Frost Family Treasury.
