Mixed Blessing System

Meanwhile, in Peters City...

As a new day dawned, the mood in this city was still bad even after more than 24 hours since the end of the Frost family\'s Night of Terror.

The subject was still being talked about in every corner of this city, as many locally relevant people had suffered on that fateful day.

Annaliese, Mabel, Aiken, and a dozen relevant elders in the Frost family, several of who had died or were seriously injured. At the same time, the rise of a new leader, Viktoria, was no less relevant than the deaths of such a tragedy.

The local population, mostly mortals unable to cultivate, loved stories like these and couldn\'t help but explore the topic whenever they had the opportunity.

Meanwhile, the local leaders were trying to get back to their routines.

...

At the headquarters of the Frost family, this place no longer had anyone living at the moment and was surrounded by men from the imperial guard stationed in this city.

After the catastrophe of two nights ago, the nobles and subordinates of the Frost family had left this place for good due to the tragedy that had happened there.

Spectres were difficult beings to fight against and even more challenging to ensure their extermination.

At the same time, few understood exactly how a spectre arose, so because of what had happened there, there was no way that the members of this family could have the confidence to continue in their ancestral home.

The local leaders also didn\'t know what to do with this place other than surround it with men and turn it into a forbidden ground within this city.

As such, several observers were on the outskirts watching the area, not only to prevent anyone from entering there but also to observe if more spectres would appear there.

Meanwhile, the survivors of the Frost family were living in a temporary camp built in the parking lot of one of the Ritter Motor Company factories, where Viktoria had taken them.

In that place, she was leading the family as best she could.

Viktoria was devastated by the deaths of her father and Annaliese and Lothur\'s baby. The fact that her sister had lost consciousness after such a loss and her mother was in a coma had also been worrying her.

However, this woman had always been strong and had been enduring the situation while trying to reorganize her family.

When things had calmed down, she would hold a funeral for her father and take her time to mourn. But she couldn\'t do that for the moment and was mindful of the responsibilities that had suddenly fallen into her lap.

At the present moment, she was with the strongest surviving elders of that night in the main tent in such a camp.

Everyone in the surrounding area had ugly expressions on their faces, with dark circles under their eyes and other signs of lack of sleep on some of them.

The only one who didn\'t look so bad was Viktoria, given her cultivation. Still, her tone of voice gave away her emotional state to anyone who heard her now.

"Matriarch, we have sent letters to the best doctors in the empire. Now we can only hope for responses..." One of those men in charge of getting Mabel a doctor said this.

Viktoria knew that these men were doing their best, and she didn\'t blame them for not getting a doctor yet. It wasn\'t easy to do that, as there were few 3-star doctors in the entire empire.

On the other hand, there was no guarantee that any of these would take the job, as the Frost family had few friends and many enemies throughout the empire.

So she looked at that person and asked. "What about the Rios family? Have you sent any letters to them?"

"The Rios family? No, matriarch. Unfortunately, we lost the communication formation of the former Matriarch Mabel Frost during the previous confrontation." That man said, feeling as if everything was against them.

"Then, I want someone to send a letter to the Rios family headquarters in Lenz. Inform my grandparents of what happened here and my mother\'s condition." She ordered, hoping that her mother\'s family would help somehow.

The Rios family was quite vindictive, so there was hope, even though that power was so reclusive to the point that the Frost family could never count on her support.

With that matter temporarily settled, one of the men there to talk about the situation of the spectre possessing Aiken\'s body stepped forward and said.

"Let us contact the post of the Seraphim Church to ask for support in resolving the problem at hand, matriarch." That middle-aged man, level 15, said. "Many Churchmen are in pursuit of something, and others are guarding the empire\'s borders.

So it may take longer for them to send someone to help us.

I also communicated with the imperial family, but they are facing some internal problems and have not given us a deadline to send someone to exterminate that thing."

One of the biggest concerns of these people currently was the situation of Simon\'s spectre inside Aiken\'s body. For the moment, he was trapped inside the Frost estate, with several formations sealing off his cultivation and movement, as well as several watchers.

But he was frightening to most people in Peters City, and the local powers craved his extermination.

As such, looking for people to help them achieve that feat had been one of Viktoria and her people\'s priorities.

This was particularly true as only then could she recover her father\'s body and then give him a proper farewell and subsequent rest.

Unfortunately, many things were against them!

She closed her eyes as she heard that man\'s words, regretting her powerlessness to resolve this matter alone.

\'If Lothur were here, maybe he could solve everything by himself...\' She lamented as she wondered where he might be at the moment.

But Viktoria did not blame him, nor did she lament for long, for her man\'s situation could be considered even worse than hers.

He was on the run from the majestic Seraphim Church!

Viktoria clenched her fists and said. "Keep putting pressure on the Church and the imperial family. Only they can help us by sending people capable of eliminating what is inside my father\'s body."

The people in the surrounding area agreed, and soon some of them left to carry out the orders of their new leader.

With the departure of some, only three people, two men and a woman, remained with Viktoria.

She looked at Doctor Snee and asked. "How is my sister doing?"

"Annaliese is not in danger of death... But the weight of losing her baby prevents her from waking up." That man said, feeling bad that he couldn\'t help more. "I cannot awaken her, but rest assured. She will be fine.

You can give her more time or use whatever doctor you can get to treat your mother. Surely she will awaken after a while or with the support of someone more capable."
