Improvements and Plans 

Three days later...

After Lothur let Blood and Smoke exterminate the first group of spectres of their lives, they set off as Cykad had suggested.

When Lothur could use his bloodline ability to devour the abilities of demons, the group would go after these creatures. When he was incapacitated, the group would head for the locations of the groups of spectres they had information about. 

At this point, young Ritter would question these creatures about other groups of spectres and the Castle of Shadows before allowing Blood and Smoke to do their work.

In this scheme of things, not only had Lothur improved some of his attributes during these days. Blood and Smoke had raised their soul powers considerably, showing Lothur their true potential.

...

The group was now standing near its next demonic target, in a forest in the Petha Empire, where the sky was clear and the day was burning that morning.
