In the blink of an eye, five days passed...
During this period, things remained pretty much the same in Peters City while Viktoria waited for some help from the Rios family, the Leopoldine family, or the Church.
Unfortunately, none of them had answered her requests for help so far.
Meanwhile, her mother grew weaker every day, and Annaliese continued in a deep sleep, with no signs that she would awaken in the short term.
Viktoria had been enduring the anguish of not being able to do anything for them and was focused on the merger of the Frost family with House Ritter, something the elders had accepted after considering their options.
As such, they were currently working together to form that family while their headquarters was still under construction.
Amid this, news of what had happened to the Frost family in Peters City had reached the ears of the princes vying for the emperor's throne.
Both had not been focused on that place more recently because of the problems related to Lothur and Daemon. But when they received this news, they were both shocked at what had happened in this city because of the way everything had happened.
It was worrying that so many spectres had suddenly appeared in this place!
But beyond this concern, Lars was fine with the loss of the Frost family. Now he would no longer need to be involved in driving it to its destruction.
As it was now, this house would hardly recover!
On the other hand, Klaus had not actively acted against the Frost family, so he had nothing to celebrate for the fall of that family. On the contrary, he was even regretting it, for this house had stood in his younger brother's way on several occasions in the recent past.
Even though some members of the imperial family wanted to do something to help solve the spectre problem in Peters City, they couldn't at the moment.
Several of their high-level experts were moving in to try to recover the Blood Crystal that Daemon had stolen, so there weren't enough people to be sent to Peters City.
The Emperor himself was busy with that and hadn't even heard about the recent events that victimized Viktoria's family.
...
While Daemon and his people were working to obtain their Platinum-grade weapon with the Blood Crystal, the Rios family headquarters in the kingdom of Lenz, the news involving Mabel had just reached her father and mother.
"What? Mabel is seriously injured after facing a spectre that possessed her husband?" Viktoria and Annaliese's grandmother asked in surprise upon hearing such a thing.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm "Yes, madam. Viktoria is asking for the family's help so we can try something to save Mabel." A subordinate of Mabel's parents said as the two listened to this information with concern.
They were concerned about Mabel, but she had made up her own mind about her fate and refused to return to her home on several occasions.
As such, her father and mother would not simply act to help her unless her life was not at risk.
Mabel's father, a level 19 man, then asked his subordinate. "How serious is her situation? If they can resolve it by seeking help in Leopoldine, we will not move."
"It looks like they need 3-star doctors to save Mabel." That man said, going over what had come to him.
"Then ignore them. Let her family find a doctor in that state and solve their problems." Mabel's father said, feeling that Viktoria could solve that problem alone.
But Mabel's mother had a less icy heart than her husband's, despite her frustrations with their third daughter. So she said. "Helmut, go to Peters City. I want you to observe her situation, and if you judge that they will not be able to solve her problem, you should intervene.
At that time, save her life and bring her here."
"I will do my best, madam." That man left soon after.
As he was alone with his wife in the living room of their residence, Mabel's father looked at her and asked. "What do you intend by this?"
"I will save our daughter if the family she has adopted cannot do so. At that time, she will have to return to us and fulfill her original purpose."
...
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Prison...
After the past few days, Lothur had become very strong and had reached level 20 of soul cultivation!
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: Life Devourer]
[Soul Cultivation: level 20]
[Body Cultivation: level 19]
[STR: 701.8] [CON: 1,690.2] [DEX: 640.1] [AGI: 769.9]
[INT: 374.2] [PER: 865.9] [WIL: 582] [SOU: 1,881.8]
[EVF: 2]
With his improvement in terms of attributes and study regarding the formations in this prison, he had reached the 4-star rating for his profession of formations master!
Having reached this level the day before, Lothur had spent much of the last 24 hours planning how to escape from this place.
Thus he had concluded that he could finally leave this place in no more than three more days of preparation!
All thanks to his progress in absorbing the vitalities and powers of the enemies that remained in this place besides his slaves.
Because of this, he had improved his affinities and resistances a little more.
[Gold-grade poisons resistance .]
[Progress: 69%]
...
[Gold-grade flame resistance.]
[Progress: 41%.]
...
[Gold0grade ice resistance.]
[Progress: 31%]
...
[Gold-grade wood resistance.]
[Progress: 14%]
...
[Gold-grade darkness resistance.]
[Progress: 5%]
Unfortunately, as he advanced these characteristics, his progress with 3rd stage people became slower. He needed to use more powerful cultivators to nurture his characteristics faster!
Anyway, in this period, he had practically reached the peak of progress for his Mortal Aura skill at the Silver grade.
[Mortal Aura] [Rank: Silver]
[Progress: 98%]
Other than that, he had reached the Master level of mastery in his two soul techniques, which greatly elevated his combat proficiency using them.
However, he had no capable opponent in this place, so he still lacked someone to test these techniques' new limits.
Anyway, Lothur was very satisfied with his days in this place. After finishing another planning period for his escape, he decided to go to his men to let them know how everything would happen.
Rebecca was to finish absorbing her Soul Bone by the end of the next day, so he intended to prepare all these people before spending some time with her on the eve of her escape.
So, as he sent his thoughts to the 100 survivors in this place, they rushed from where they were to him in the blink of an eye.
