Chapter 846 Turning Point?

Chapter 846 Turning Point?

An hour and a half after arriving in the Three Great Lakes Region, Viktoria's group had finished recovering from their weakened states.

Annaliese Viktoria and the human who had received a skull Soul Bone had also finished absorbing the new essences, and each of them had achieved new breakthroughs.

Viktoria had reached level 25 in both soul and body cultivation. Meanwhile, Annaliese had reached level 24 in both types of cultivation, catching up with her harem mates, who had more bones than her before.

Only Victoria currently had 8 bones, while the other three had 7 bones each.

With this change, Viktoria returned to the position of the strongest in the group and was now at the same level as the human she had helped, who had also reached level 25 after absorbing his skull bone.

Having also reached 100% of his Spirit Body formation, the being with the greatest soul power in the group of demon prison survivors was now much stronger than before.

After completing his progress and realizing its benefits, he naturally thanked Viktoria for her gesture of giving him his last bone and promised to help her once again in her quest for revenge.

With that, the group left the Leopoldine region, splitting into four groups, each heading for different destinations.

Victoria and some of the demon hostages went to the Seraphim Church, while Rebecca and her group went to the Petha Empire. On the other hand, Annaliese planned to go to Peters City to expose what was happening to her family and strengthen the state's defenses.

Elke and her party would go to the Ancestral Region, where she planned to take the beasts on her side to the Ancestral People and perhaps use Cykad to rally the alliance against Lothur to act against the Demon Emperor.

...

As three of the four groups traveled north, Annaliese and her temporary companions arrived in Peters City.n.)O/-v)(e-.L)-b()I)/n

Arriving in a city that looked exactly the same as when Lothur had last passed through, Annaliese quickly noticed the number of local Sages, especially her mother.

But with everything happening to her, Annaliese couldn't be happy for her mother.

Seeing her, she continued with her serious expression as she led her group towards her.

"Mom..." She said as she stood before Mabel, seeing her mother's surprised and smiling look in her direction.

"Anna! What are you doing here?" Of course, Mabel hadn't expected to be visited by one of her daughters right now, especially without the others present.

Seeing these strange creatures next to Annaliese, Mabel had several questions in mind.

But Annaliese answered almost all of them promptly. "Mom... Lothur... Lothur has been killed!" She said with great difficulty as tears formed in her eyes again, and she hugged her mother.

Mabel didn't say anything right away as she stared at her daughter with wide eyes, not knowing what to say or do.

'Is this true?' She felt her heart leap in her chest. She had never imagined something like this would happen to her.

If someone had asked Mabel a few minutes ago who would die first between her and Lothur, she would have said with complete confidence that it would be her, even considering the risk he had taken.

Considering how talented and powerful Lothur was, she couldn't believe he would meet his end so prematurely!

'Did it have to happen right now?' She felt sorry for her family, for Lothur, but also for the Ritter Motor Company.

Recently, the powers of the continent had begun to put pressure on the Ritter Motor Company, with the Seraphim Church even sending their top brass to put pressure on Mabel.

Fortunately, she was already very strong and had a lot of local support, which prevented anything worse from happening.

However, with the fall of Lothur, many things could change for the worse for this organization!

Thinking about it, being more rational than emotional, she soon saw a problem.

'Shit! All those high-level Saints and low-level Sages in the Ritter family were controlled by Lothur's abilities. If he's dead, they'll rebel!' She imagined this problem.

"Anna, my love, I'm sorry for your loss. I want to know more about what happened and what you intend to do now, but first, we must stop a bigger problem from forming in the Ritter family."

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Annaliese didn't understand.

Mabel came straight to the point. "I'm talking about Lothur's slaves."

After hearing it, Annaliese's eyes opened wider as she realized the problem.

With that in mind, they quickly set off, following the beasts there to join Annaliese in the direction of the Ritter family's headquarters.

Arriving in the area of nearby Peters City, where there was still a forest, they soon entered the headquarters and searched everywhere for enemies.

"Ladies..." One of Lothur's level 21 slaves was about to speak when Mabel grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and glared at him.

"Stop pretending! State your purpose immediately!" She said, drawing the attention of other members of the Ritter family nearby.

"I don't understand, miss." The man said, making an expression of pain at the tightness in his neck. "My purpose is to serve my master."

Mabel laughed mischievously. "Is that so? How can you say that now that your master is dead? Stop pretending! What do you want by continuing to behave like a slave of Lothur?"

"What?"

"Lothur is dead?"

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Our master is dead?"

Not only the other slaves of the Ritter family but also their subordinates, as well as the members of the Koch and Becker families, who were present at that moment, opened their mouths to express their great surprise and shock.

No one there could believe that the founder of this family had actually met his end!

"This can't be true!" The slave struggled to find the words, and though it was difficult, he managed. "How could my master have died? I clearly feel that my connection to him is still stable!"

"Me too."

"The same for me. I can feel my master's flames of darkness in my body, even if they are weaker than before." A slave of Lothur's who had been with him in the Imperial Prison commented.

These words from nearly a dozen people made Annaliese frown, not understanding what was going on.

"That... Are they telling the truth?"

Mabel also found the situation odd. "That seems to be the case... But how? Anna, are you sure that Lothur is dead?"

"The demon who held us hostage said they killed him..."

"So you didn't see a body?" A smile broke out on Mabel's face.

"No."

"Then there's hope! Maybe Lothur has worked another miracle!"
