Chapter 61: The Wrath of the Damned

The house was no longer a house.

It was a battlefield.

The walls trembled as Victoria and the nameless soul clashed, their rage turning the air thick with an unbearable weight. A cold, suffocating force wrapped around the room, pressing down on Ben's chest, making it hard to breathe.

Sparks of spectral energy cracked through the air, sending objects flying—chairs splintered, picture frames shattered, and the chandelier above swung violently as if caught in a storm.

And Ellie—or what was left of her—was caught in the middle.

Her body convulsed, veins darkening as Victoria tried to pry the intruder out. The entity fought back, latching onto Ellie's flesh like a parasite, refusing to let go.

"You think you can take this body from me?" the voice that came from Ellie's mouth was not hers. It was layered—deep, unnatural, mocking.

Victoria's ghostly form surged forward, pure wrath spilling from her eyes.

"That body was supposed to be mine!"

She threw herself at Ellie, her hands plunging into the flesh as if trying to rip the soul out.

Ellie's body convulsed violently, her head snapping back as a scream tore through the room—an inhuman sound that made Ben's knees buckle.

The room grew darker, colder.

Ben watched, helpless, as his worst nightmare unfolded before him.

Victoria's screams of rage mixed with the entity's unholy laughter as they fought for dominance. The air around them twisted, the temperature dropping to an icy, deathly chill.

Ellie's hands jerked upward, clawing at her own skin as if she were trying to rip herself apart.

Ben couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop it!" he roared, his voice cracking with desperation.

But neither of them listened.

They were too far gone.

Victoria's form pulsed with a dangerous light, her entire existence bending with fury.

"You stole this from me!" she screamed, voice echoing through the walls.

The entity inside Ellie smirked, eyes flickering like dying embers.

"And I will never give it back."

Then—

A deafening crack.

A force so strong it shattered every glass object in the house blasted outward, knocking Ben to the floor.

The battle had reached its peak.

And the house, unable to contain their rage any longer, began to collapse around them.
