"Are you trying to gather everyone here?" one of the Grandmasters asked in a whisper, to which Adrian nodded in affirmation.In truth, Adrian harbored lingering doubts regarding the effectiveness of the Spectral Snare against Autumn. Hence, meticulous preparation was imperative. He couldn't bear the thought of the entire ship succumbing to the ghost's wrath; thus, he deemed it necessary for all the Grandmasters from the upper deck to descend to the lower deck. By doing so, they could evade further encounters with Autumn, focusing instead on safeguarding themselves and the hundreds of individuals occupying the lower and middle decks. Only then could Adrian devote his undivided attention to confronting Autumn head-on.A few minutes later, Howard dashed down from the upper deck, accompanied by a retinue of over ten crew members, his expression fraught with panic. Upon catching sight of Adrian, he felt a surge of awkwardness, opting to avert his gaze and attempt entry into the lower deck

Adrian turned and spotted a crew member lying on the ground, covered in blood with a pale face. He quickly directed a surge of energy into the man's chest to sustain him.With a glance toward the adjacent corridor, where Autumn likely lay in ambush, Adrian's expression hardened. He nodded decisively and retrieved the Spectral Snare from his pocket."Adrian! Finally! You didn't anticipate me to be this powerful, did you?" Autumn in Sammy’s body materialized at the corridor's end, her blood-red eyes locking onto Adrian.Observing this, Adrian's smirk turned cold."Quit the charade! You've never stood a chance against me. With every soul I've absorbed, my strength has only grown!" Autumn yelled at Adrian, her voice hoarse and ghostly.Adrian chuckled, his gaze fixed on the Spectral Snare in his hand. Just as he was about to activate it, Autumn-Sammy vanished from sight and reappeared abruptly in front of him.Swish!Adrian swiftly unsheathed the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, intercept

Marc and Larissa exchanged looks. Their main concern now was to silence Howard.Howard thought, ‘Marc and Larissa are eighth-level Grandmasters, just like Adrian. If the ghost gets out of control and attacks, it's safest to stay close to them. But if Marc and Larissa only care about saving themselves, others could be in danger. I need to make their intentions known. Even if they want to escape, they must do so with everyone else. They can't leave everyone behind to face the enemy alone.’Under the scrutiny of the others, Marc put on a strained smile and remarked, "We should start considering our options before it's too late."After Howard brought their intentions to light, they had no option but to suggest a plan alongside the other passengers in the upper-class rooms."Mr. Marc is right. With the situation being this perilous, we need to brainstorm a solution," someone whispered.All eyes then shifted toward Howard. As the ship's owner, he surely had an escape plan.Howard sense

"Adrian won’t crumble under pressure. He's not keen on agreeing to our suggestion to approach Everett, but there's still hope," Larissa explained."What do you mean?" Marc's heart raced at the prospect of revitalizing their family by aligning with Everett and momentarily forgetting about their escape plan."Hehe, imagine how Adrian will regard us upon his return after vanquishing the ghost. He’ll see that we’ve honored our commitment to remain here while all the other nobles flee. He'll undoubtedly admire us,” Marc mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully."But how can you be so sure that Adrian will emerge victorious?" Larissa shook her head. She couldn't guarantee Adrian's triumph over the ghost. Nevertheless, they had no choice but to take the risk."At present, there's an underlying animosity between us and Howard. However, that boy has refrained from targeting us because of Lucy. But Lucy herself..." Larissa sighed.Lucy overheard her parents' conversation. After some pondering,

Adrian stood there stunned at the chaos that reigned on the lower deck.A throng of people clustered at the entrance to the boiler room, pushing forward as though vying for something precious. Some hurled curses, while others wailed in despair. It all appeared utterly mad.Adrian furrowed his brows, surveying the crowd. Many faces were unfamiliar, yet amid them, he recognized a few. The Wainwrights stood on the fringes, silently observing the tumult unfolding before them.Sammy spotted the Wainwrights and dashed toward them without a second thought. "Madam! Miss!" she cried out.Lucy spotted her maid returning at last and breathed a sigh of relief. Larissa and Marc watched Sammy attentively. Upon verifying she showed no signs of being possessed any longer, they too sighed in relief."Are you okay?" Lucy enveloped Sammy in an embrace, assuming the role of a protective elder sister."He saved me." Sammy gestured toward Adrian.Larissa and Marc exchanged glances, then nodded slight
