Chapter 712 Progress
"Dear wife, how are you? Missing your man?
I know you must be, but today I'm not sending you this message to talk about what you miss most...
These two Soul Bones my slaves have just delivered to you are things that I have recently obtained, and I want Annaliese and Elke to absorb them. They are more compatible with such bones, so please don't feel jealous..."
Viktoria read Lothur's entire letter aloud, down to where it specified which bone should go to whom.
With her words, Elke and Annaliese were soon grinning from ear to ear, eager to increase their powers with these bones.
Mabel listened to all this with her mouth open, for the first time in her life seeing such an absurd situation where Soul Bones were handed out like this.
Viktoria sighed when she saw that Lothur had not mentioned anything about his trip, figuring he would stay away for a long period. Otherwise, he would have warned them of something.
She tossed the matching bones to Elke and Annaliese and said. "Go. Absorb them immediately. Every advance we can make is important for the family and our interests."
The two immediately agreed to this, knowing that their plans depended heavily on the results of the Ritter Motor Company and their levels.
Until they were strong enough, they would be vulnerable to the many high-level powers interested in replacing them at the helm of Lothur's company.
None of young Ritter's new partners knew he was behind the recent auction and did not intend to leave the company in the short term. So they could not count on their fear of their man!
So the two quickly made their way to the large cultivation room of the residence, where they promptly began absorbing those bones.
Meanwhile, Viktoria saw those men and women still in her residence and asked. "What about you? What are you going to do now?"
"We will wait. Our master said he would release us after we completed our mission.
We believe that will happen when the two ladies finish absorbing their Soul Bones." Their leader said. "When that happens, we will stay in the city for a while, but then we will return to Cesha."
"Cesha?" Viktoria and Mabel decided to use these people from outside the empire to ask questions, something they could neither refuse nor lie about, given their current situation.
...
Hours later, Annaliese and Elke were in the final part of the absorption of their Soul Bones!
After several hours of striving to fuse these bones with their Spirit Bodies, the two had passed the crucial phase and were nearing the end of the process.
Annaliese was a bit weaker than Elke, so she was a bit behind her harem sister.
When Elke showed the signs that she was close to finishing this absorption, Annaliese would still take a few minutes to reach this crucial moment of her journey.
Then, as Mabel watched the two, she saw Elke finishing absorbing that bone and undergoing a new spiritual marrow cleansing!
'She's advancing!' Mabel exclaimed in her mind, seeing beside Viktoria that Elke was increasing her level.
But Elke was not only advancing the level of her body cultivation. Her soul cultivation was also rising, reaching level 19!
The bone previously belonged to Malte had fused perfectly with her Spirit Body, becoming a new part of it and dramatically increasing her attributes.
If Lothur were to see her at this moment, he would see Elke demonstrating physical attributes superior to his own for the first time!
Her mental attributes also improved greatly, but she still had a great journey ahead of her, for she was to be the Saint with the weakest Soul in this entire world.
Opening her eyes, Elke immediately realized this as she felt various features of her body evolving.
But while she was feeling this, Annaliese reached the final part of her Soul Bone absorption, not advancing her body cultivation but achieving it regarding her soul!
At that moment, Annaliese became the third Saint of the Ritter family, while the Silver-grade bone previously belonging to Sam evolved to Gold-grade!
As planned by Lothur, as soon as she advanced a step, Annaliese took that bone to a new level, further enhancing the bone's powers.
She opened her eyes and felt her new powers, smiling in satisfaction, for with this, she could more easily achieve her current goals.
Viktoria and Mabel saw Annaliese's expression and sighed, seeing how far this girl had come in such a short time.
She was now a Saint, the strongest of the Frost family!
The only downside was that, just like Elke, she had advanced her soul cultivation because of the joint power of her body and soul. Thus, she had a weak Soul attribute, which greatly needed to be improved.
'We must get spiritual crystals for Elke and Anna to quickly improve their soul powers.' Viktoria thought as she watched those two rise from their cultivation cushions.
Elke rushed to the shower to wash herself. At the same time, Anna did not do the same since the advancement of soul cultivation did not generate the extraction of impurities from cultivators' bodies.
"Big sister, I passed you at last," Annaliese commented with a smile on her face as she stopped next to Viktoria.
Viktoria didn't take this comment to the negative side and smiled. "We'll soon change that."
"Will we really?" Annaliese teased confidently.
"Now I think we can fight on the same level, Anna," Viktoria said before turning her back on her sister, heading back to where those five people should still be waiting.
"Anyway, I'll see how I can help you raise soul power faster." She commented in a more serious tone. "Now that you're a Saint, your ability to absorb spiritual energy must have greatly increased.
So I think starting a seclusion to increase your soul powers is good for you and Elke. We've already made a lot of progress recently... This might draw unnecessary attention from our new allies.
If anyone decides to move for now, it would be bad for us because your souls are weak compared to ordinary Saints'." She said halfway, making both Elke taking a bath and Annaliese understand and agree with her point.
"OK."
"And what do we do about these five?" Mabel asked her eldest daughter.
"Let them do what they want. Lothur certainly wouldn't allow them to come here and deliver that to us and then harm us." Viktoria commented, trusting her husband.
Soon those five people would leave that residence while Annaliese and Elke would go into seclusion at the Ritter family headquarters!
