Capítulo 74: The Dead Ghost
The guardian elders of the Frey family realised the threat they have. No one in the Frey family could believe what they saw or heard. The eleventh elder, a woman who was in her late twenties stumbled unconsciously to the floor. She fell as she had a sudden shock to death. Her body didn't move. She looked as if she was frozed to death. Not even her breath seems to be there. Everyone was shocked in terror. One of the elders, an elderly man reached her and moved the index finger of his right hand towards the breathing holes. His hand began to tremble. His mouth turned mute. He only heard some words ringing in his head.
"Th... ree... ye... ars" The voice of inhaling and exhaling was heard like a blower in his head. The voice didn't stop. "Th... r... ee ye... ars fr... om n... now. I... wi... ll re... tu... rn. I... I... wi... ll... ha... haun... t ev... ery... one... o... f yo... u to dea..." [Three years from now. I will return. I will haunt every one of you to death.]
A lifeless voice full of frustration and resentment was heard in his head making him feel the terror and submerging him in regret. The voice was broken and completely shattered. The voice was very wet as he was drenched. Even a small word is said with more than one attempt. The owner of the voice couldn't speak clearly. He spoke as if he was having something in his mouth. The voice was very desperate and was filled with agony. The owner of the voice seemed to be very disappointed.
When the elder closed his eyes his conscience tortured him by sparking the past. The elder could see the owner of the hoarse voice laying on the ground filled with blood. His body was wounded and his mouth was filled with blood dripping through the corner of his lips. Several soft mourns can be heard from the owner of the sound who was gasping for air and craving to ease his pain. His eyes were filled with tears. Without his consent, the tears found their way to the ground. He wanted to stay alive but all he could see was blood and nothing else.
The young man was laying on his back and resting his head on a rock. He couldn't move his hands. Even his mouth. He wanted to stand and be brave enough to fight again. Alas, he was down already at the cost of his life. His life was at the stake and his soul was trembling as if it have no more room in his body. His consciousness was pleading to his soul just to stay in his body. Alas, it was too late for him to beg. There is no place for the weak to live in the world.
Strong prey the weak. Yet the weak stay weak. Is it happening because the weak don't want others to become strong?
"Who is weak?
Who is strong?
Who can tell me what is wrong?
Endless tracks of pain and gain.
Lifelike this will end in vain.
No matter what a person does.
He can't live in a world as weak.
No matter how strong a person is.
He is always prey for fate.
What is fate and what is sure?
Anytime, life may end in vain."
The old man, the elder heard the tone of a young man who recited a poem a few years ago. The elder opened his eyes and let go a sigh. "You shouldn't have come here" he dared the possessed Lin Cian. Never did he know that Lin Cian was actually allied with the spirit possessed in his body. Upon misunderstanding the possession the elder stretched out his right hand and whipped towards Lin Cian.
A whip of lightning formed in his hands and reached Lin Cian's body. When it was just a hair's distance to hit Lin Cian a shield of protection formed in front of him stopping the whip. It was so close as if June was not chanting the protection spell Lin Cian's body would have ripped in pieces. Lin Cian or the spirit possessed him had no idea about what the hell is with the whip. June was a candidate for the patriarch of the Frey family. She naturally knew what the purpose of the whip is.
It was the spirit hurting whip. It is used to destroy the soul cognition. It was specially subdue a spirit if it happened to possess someone.
"Elder please forgive June for her rudeness" June again apologized while her upper body was almost parallel to the ground. Someone screamed suddenly. The voice was completely filled with with terror and fear.
June raised her head in the direction of the cry. It was one of the elders screaming over the body of the eleventh elder. He was on his butt on the floor and his face was as if he saw a ghost. Using his feet and his arms on the floor while his butt on the floor he suddenly distanced himself by crawling backward. His body was trembling like a drum vibrating when striked. He was sweating as if a bucket of water was poured on top of his head. His body was drenched with sweat. "She is dead, she is dead" the man who was also an elder screamed unconsciously.
In all this time June was staring at the scene witnessing the death of the eleventh elder. She couldn't help but ask someone about things happening. She was confused but also worried at the same time.
Harry understood her thoughts but he was very confused about what should he do next. He was submerged in his thoughts to the point where he couldn't even recognize that June was staring at him at the moment.
June couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on. One thing she remembered was the eleventh elder addressing Lin Cian as Loaren. June partially understood the things and to save Lin Cian she confronted the possessed Lin Cian. "W... who are you? W... what are you doing with his body? Get away from..." she stammered but was stopped in the next moment.
"Sister" the familiar voice that she heard years ago rang in her ears made her stop her confrontation. She couldn't hold her tears but she managed to hold them anyway. After all, she was good in terms with Lin Cian. She doesn't want to sacrifice Lin Cian for her brother.
It was like a nightmare. The guardian elders of the Frey family got realized the situation they are in. If they were to apologize there would be a slight chance to where the situation may have ended without blood.
However, they chose the other way in order to save their face in public. They started to gather their strength and attacked possessed Lin Cian. Immediately two of them who raised their hands agains't the trio fell down dead.
Upon realizing what happened they realized the demon among them. Harry was standing behind them with his sword unsheathed.
June who was still confused couldn't do anything. She was just frozen to do anything. Lin Cian who was possessed started to chant a curse. It was a dead rain curse. When he started to curse he heard a loud voice calling his name. "Loaren...".
Loaren who possessed Lin Cian was stunned when he heard Harry calling him. He turned his head towards Harry who shouted his name. "Loaren, don't use the death curse on the Frey family. It will hurt your sister. She... she is innocent. Nothing did she know about your death" Harry confronted Loaren to stop the death rain.
His gaze shifted towards June who was staring at Lin Cian. Loaren who was enlightened by Harry stopped chanting and looked into June's eyes. Loaren looked on to the eyes of his sister with many thoughts lingering in him. All he felt in him was the regret. "Sister... I am sorry" he said in a worried tone. His tone resembled his sadness.
June looked at Harry who let a breath escape from his nostrils. He was about to tell everything to June. "Is that painful?" a sudden question that was filled with thoughtfulness and care in it entered Harry's ears.
Before Harry could tell anything to June, she understood the pain Harry had. She finally realized everything that happened with Harry, with his mysterious behavior, with his cold face and the incident of giving cold shoulder to her. She smiled at him when Harry turned his head towards her. Harry's heart drenched in the warm feeling. The warmth of the person he loved ensured him about staying for a lifetime with him.
"Harry, thank you for taking care of my sister," Loaren said to Harry. Harry just smiled at possessed Lin Cian and slightly bowed. Meanwhile, more than half the elders were lying unconscious on the ground.
