Chapter 288: Reborn as a Vengeful Spirit (2/2)

“Eh? Do you mean you are currently an undead?” Stingham exclaimed in horror.

“Idiot!” Black lines filled Rinloran’s face as he was stunned speechless by Stingham’s comprehension abilities.

But right at this moment, Lotton raised his head, seemingly in reaction to Stingham’s words.

“What?!”

Stingham’s teeth clattered together in fear as his entire body jumped back.

Ayrin and Rinloran felt their breaths catch as their hearts tightened and an intense chill pervaded their bodies.

It wasn’t just shock, but also their fear of death.

Lotton’s face was a deathly gray!

His pupils were pitch black and released an intense aura of death.

Ayrin had already felt Lotton was abnormal when they fought in the past, but it was only because his arcane skills were affected by the Evil Dragon’s blood. The abnormal sensation Ayrin felt from the current Lotton was due to death!

“Vengeful Spirit!” Rinloran cried out as his body violently shuddered.

“Lotton, he…” The emotions currently welling up within Ayrin couldn’t be described with words.

For some arcane masters, they would be able to keep their spirit from scattering if they died while full of hatred. Thus, in conjunction with some arcane skills, they would be able to maintain their ‘life’ while having died.

As they kept their consciousness and remained able to use arcane particles, these existences were considered different from normal spirits, and called vengeful spirits.

But ultimately, these vengeful spirits were as dead as regular spirits!

“Did you die from your wounds received while fleeing Eichemalar? But why did you become a vengeful spirit? Do you feel hatred towards the Office of Special Affairs for chasing you?” Ayrin asked as he felt sadness well within him. Lotton was his enemy, but Lotton’s current state was just too miserable, and he felt responsible for it.

Ayrin could hear bones cracking as Lotton raised his head.

It was clear that Lotton’s neck had ever healed.

“You…”

Stingham loudly grit his teeth as he remained at a loss for words.

But then, much to Rinloran’s annoyance, Stingham abruptly shouted, “Can you lower your head already? Do you not realize how terrifying you look?!”

The sound of bones cracking and grating rang through the hall as Lotton lowered his head and finally answered Ayrin’s earlier question, “Even if I am no longer alive, I do not wish to be controlled by others. I shall take control of my own destiny.”

“You were always under the control of others? You were a weapon ordered to kill?” Ayrin clenched his fists as he shouted, “So you require this Lunar Spring Essence to free yourself from their control?”

As Lotton nodded, more grating sounds rang from his neck.

“I beg you, please stop nodding your head.” Stingham seemed to be on the verge of tears as he said, “If we help you obtain the Lunar Spring Essence and there is more than you require, would you be willing to split some with Rinloran so that he can increase his strength? You are, after all…”

“……” Rinloran’s patience seemed to be nearing its limits.

Although Stingham was currently trying to help him, his manner and appearance while speaking was irritating and made Rinloran want to beat him up.

“To pursue your beliefs even after death, Lotton, you are a true brave warrior!”

Ayrin took a deep breath as he felt his blood boiling in his chest. Everyone around him could see the flames springing up within his eyes.

“Good. Then we will help you obtain the Lunar Spring Essence from the Land of the Undead!”

“Is there anyone else? Or do you have a stretcher?” Stingham abruptly chimed in. “But even with a stretcher, how will you be able to carry all three of us?”

“Idiot!” Rinloran screamed as he kicked Stingham in the ass.

At the same moment, Rinloran’s body released countless faint blue particles of light. These sprite like particles scattered through the air and landed on Stingham and Ayrin’s bodies.

“This is the Tree of Life’s energy… Rinloran, have you gained the abilities of a powerful medicinal master like Teacher Ciaran?” Stingham cried out. His eyes bulged out in shock as he felt energy coursing through his veins once more.
