Chapter 867 Different Spectres

Two days later, on the coast of the Petha Empire.

In this northernmost part of the continent, a strong pulse suddenly blew from the sea toward the continent.

Sensing this sudden wind, a small, red-furred cat looked in a southeasterly direction and felt a chill run through her body.

"Did you feel that, Blood?" Smoke asked his sister.

In the weeks since they had separated from Viktoria and the other women of Lothur, the two cats had hunted many spectres on the continent and traveled extensively in these lands.

They had both reached level 24 of soul cultivation and level 23 of body cultivation.

Much stronger than the last time Lothur had seen them, these two creatures could already hunt spectres and demons at level 25!

They had been traveling across the continent for the past few months, mainly in search of spectres, which were easier to deal with and usually had richer attributes for them to absorb. However, on their journey, they devoured the souls of a few demons along the way and accumulated 20 Platinum-grade Soul Bones!

Anyway, they had recently sensed something strange coming from the Petha Empire, so they had moved to that state.

However, as they traveled to their new destination, Blood felt a strange sensation when she was hit by that blast from the southeast.

"That direction... Something extreme must have just happened on the Castle of Shadow's island." She muttered to her brother. 

"Did it? But what could have happened there to cause a disturbance all the way here?" Smoke asked.

"I have no idea. We'll investigate after we finish what we're doing. We're a long way from that place, so for something that happened there to reach us, something very high-level must have just happened. Maybe it's related to our creator or the Demon Emperor."

The gray-haired cat narrowed his eyes and became more serious. "Okay, let's hunt down those spectres and then go to that place to see what happened."

With that, they moved on to the spectral trail they were following.

Recently, they had devoured many creatures. But a day ago, they had been passed by a spectral creature that was very different from anything they had seen before.

This creature was not only very fast, but it also seemed to have physical characteristics that were strange for spirit creatures.

That being moved and behaved in a more rational and superior manner than even the strongest spectral creature they had seen in their entire existence.

As soon as they spotted it, the two cats began to chase after it, fascinated and eager to catch up with the toughest opponent they had ever encountered.

Even with their skills, they had not been able to reach this spectre nor successfully surround it to confront it!

Considering the danger that such a being could pose to the continent, they couldn't help but try to prevent such a being from remaining free.

With that in mind, they were soon on their way again, trying to find the path of the enemy they had just lost by arriving in this state.

But as they did so, Smoke suddenly felt a familiar sensation coming from the west.

"Demons?" He noticed some common demon mental fluctuations coming from that direction.

"That spectre seems to have moved to the same place as those demons. He's probably going to meet them." Blood commented to her brother.

"Let's get closer and watch. Maybe we'll get some useful information for the alliance." Smoke said before moving ahead of Blood, cautiously approaching the demonic enemies.

But when they got close enough to the creatures, a group of about 15 demons, the two cats were surprised to see the creatures camped out while the spectre watched them in silence.

'Is he watching them?' Blood wondered since demons and spectres were allies. It didn't make sense for a spectre to secretly watch demons.

'Something is wrong here.' Smoke felt strange and was ready to act.

But just as he was about to move, a voice reached his and Blood's minds.

lightsnοvεl 'Blood and Smoke, don't move. I am here at the command of our creator, Lothur Ritter. I'm observing these demons in his name.' The spectre spoke into the minds of the two cats, surprising them considerably.

'How do you know our names?' Blood looked at Smoke, the gray-furred cat thinking the same thing as his sister.

The spectre said. 'I have been searching for demon tracks since I was created. My creator wants me and the others of my kind to watch for demons on his behalf. He will attack when large groups of demons appear.'

'Are you serious? Why don't I feel the slave mark of our master on you?' Blood asked skeptically.

'I don't have the mark of the Black Flames. The 9th Soul Bone ability of my creator created me.' The spectre said, causing Blood and Smoke to look at each other.

'If that's true, then our creator already has 9 Soul Bones!' Smoke looked at Blood with a satisfied expression.

'Where is our Creator?' Blood asked, feeling it wasn't a lie, as this spectre was very different from all the others they had seen, even having a soft appearance similar to that of living humans, something unusual in spectres.

The spectre looked to the south and estimated, "Your connection with him is weak, considering what happened earlier when our creator fell to the demons. But if you wish to see him again, go to Peters City. The Ritter Motor Company will assist you.'

This spectre had some of Lothur's memories because he wanted to prevent one of them from acting against one of his allies or even his allies from acting against one of them.

As such, that spirit creature knew a great deal about recent events in young Ritter's life, from the names of the two cats to Lothur's basic plans with the Ritter Motor Company.

No longer in doubt as to which side this ghost was on, Blood and Smoke looked at each other and decided to go to Peters City to see their creator again.

Without further hesitation, they left the area, leaving the level 24 spectre to watch over the group of demons.

Left alone and with no problems interfering with his mission, the spectre turned his attention to the creatures.

'I'll let you take me to a larger group of your kind, and then I'll send a message to my master.' He said this while his four companions stood nearby.

Blood and Smoke thought they only had one target earlier. However, there were four more spectres like that in the vicinity, perfectly hidden from their enemies!

These were the new spectres created by Lothur, creatures completely different from the old ones!
