Hearing that, Annaliese frowned her eyebrows and looked at that place where she could not see anything. "Maybe they have already figured us out and are waiting for one of us to enter their space of influence?"
Lothur nodded at her and made up his mind. "Anna, I will approach them to clear this place. But, in the meantime, stay here."
"If I notice they are coming toward you, I will yell for you to run. All right?"
She looked into her brother-in-law's silver eyes and agreed. "Fine. But what about these other creatures? How do you plan to deal with these spectres and them?"
He massaged one of her shoulders and replied. "My bloodline skill should be enough. I can't use it more than once a day, but when I activate it, it's pretty strong. So, I should be fine."
"But keep an eye on your surroundings. If one of them tries to escape, eliminate them. There's no reason for us to leave survivors."
She was silent for a moment, thinking about the situation. 'Lothur is already quite strong and can escape these beasts and the humans here.'
Annaliese looked at that place where the spectres should be. 'When it comes to those opponents, I can't see, as long as he has a stronger mental strength than them, there shouldn't be any problems...'
'But does he truly have such powerful mental strength?' She looked at this man she was in love with, not taking time to remember his achievements. 'Hmm, it must be true. After all, he has learned several spiritual techniques and professions in a short time.'
"Fine, I'll wait for you here, deal with fugitives and run back to the village if anything happens." She said, giving him the confidence to act.
With that settled, Lothur looked cautiously at the surroundings and took his first step forward, walking towards those spectral creatures.
The same creature as before continued to stare at him while its deformed face slightly moved as if it were thinking.
But when Lothur finally stood face to face with all of them, without any object blocking him, all seven spectres intently watched him.
Lothur then heard some squeaking that sounded like the sounds of poorly tuned radios on Earth as the mouths of those creatures moved.

As the other beings there began to turn towards him and watch him along with those spectres, finally those creatures made a decision and acted!
One of them flew towards Lothur, with an expression on its deformed face that indicated that it was smiling.
Lothur saw this and seriously looked at that being doubtful about what would happen next since he had never had the experience of fighting against something like that.
But soon, he felt the spectre entering his body, which gave a bizarre sensation to him, similar to being frightened when falling asleep.
Because of this, he moved his hands, along with his ax, towards his face as if trying to protect himself from an attack.
But at that instant, the spectre had already entered his consciousness!
[Level 8 spectre detected in the host's body...]
[Exterminate?]
'Yes!'
Lothur laughed upon receiving this warning from the system, as he had already expected something like this and could not help but feel pleased with this situation.
'That was easier than I thought!'
'I can just depend on the system to eliminate these annoying creatures!' So, he thought as he felt a tremendous urge to sneeze.
"Atchim!" He sneezed hard as a white vapor left his mouth, glowing brightly as if on fire and disappearing.
Those creatures watched this with their mouths open, not understanding what was happening.
Once again, Lothur heard strange noises coming from those six spectres just before the second of them decided to attack him.
...
10 seconds later...
"Atchim!" Once again, Lothur sneezed, this time making an even louder noise, which reverberated throughout that cave.
At this point, Annaliese looked strangely at him, not understanding the situation. 'Why is he sneezing? Is it by any chance an allergy?'
"Atchim!"
"Atchim!"
Lothur sneezed twice more, annihilating the fourth of the seven spectres in this cave.
Because of this, the survivors began to fearfully stare at him, shocked at what was happening.
They did not understand what this mortal was doing, but they knew perfectly well that their four companions had somehow been exterminated!
And with that in mind, they were soon pissed off, signaling to their 'subordinates' over there to attack that human they could not seem to attack.
"Ahh!" One of the humans there ran with an ax towards Lothur, intending to attack him with all his might.
Seeing this and the expressions on the faces of those spectres, Lothur laughed, realizing that he had angered these creatures. "Hahaha, you guys can't do anything, huh? Well, I will eliminate your little friends who possess those bodies!"
After provoking the enemy side, Lothur opened his hands and grabbed the air as if he were pulling on a cloth while activating his bloodline skill with his hatred.
He had nothing against these creatures, but Lothur knew how to get angry!

Mabel!
With that done, red patterns soon appeared around his eyes, with his pupils turning that color and a pentagram forming and beginning to circle his forehead.
As a reddish haze left his fingers, emitting horrible sensations from his surroundings, Annaliese paid attention to him, surprised to see such changes.
'What kind of bloodline is this?' She wondered, not recognizing such a thing but feeling a great fear in her heart as she tried to fathom that red mist.
As she observed, curious to know what had happened to the spectres, the beasts and humans there paralyzed in front of the mist.
Each of them felt their cultivations had begun to be suppressed by an invisible force as they felt their legs or claws trembling.
Their hearts began to beat more strongly, and even in an unconscious state dominated by spectres, those beings felt that they were near the end.
But in this terrifying situation, none of them thought this was necessarily bad.
Having been dominated by evil spectres, all they felt was a great desolation, the worst feeling of their lives. They had been controlled and were forced to see terrible things while those creatures forced them to act horribly.
That was particularly true for the humans, who were forced to eat themselves instead of having had parts of their bodies devoured by beasts!
So, when the red mist coming from Minos' bloodline ability reached the bodies of these beings, sucking the life out of them, they were not saddened but relieved!
However, the creatures controlling them suffered from Minos' act, making terrifying sounds as they languished with their hosts.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Slowly the bodies of the beasts and humans there dried up, turning into bones with skin or empty shells, with the last of them screaming in pain until he died a hideous death.
Seeing the white vapor glowing and disappearing around those bodies, Lothur laughed as he turned his attention to the three remaining spectres.
