My ancestor came here to slay the monster in the lake and also met Vivian.
Vivian was harmed by Wesley Smith—she was innocent.
So after my ancestor slayed the monster, he didn't kill Vivian, but left her there.
However, to prevent her from killing again, my ancestor bought Lake Lanier and forbade anyone surnamed Smith from entering.
At the same time, my ancestor made an agreement with Vivian that he would leave this place and continue searching for Wesley Smith to help her get revenge.
Once Wesley Smith was dead and Vivian's resentment dissipated, she could be reincarnated.
Yet Wesley Smith was cunning, and my ancestor searched for a long time without finding him.
But my ancestor knew he would return to Lake Lanier on his own.
Because the lake monster was dead, the magical powers the monster had granted Wesley Smith were growing weaker and weaker.
With each body swap, his soul also became increasingly fragile.
He didn't know the monster was dead, so he would definitely come back to seek a solution from the monster.
So my brother and I deliberately opened Lake Lanier to the public while maintaining the ban on people surnamed Smith.
If someone surnamed Smith insisted on entering?
It had to be Wesley Smith!
As for Dex, he should be a descendant of Wesley Smith, which is why Wesley could hide in his body.
It's just that after I threw him into the lake, Wesley transferred to Rachel's body.
So Rachel and Dex should not only be lovers, but also married.
That would explain why Rachel could also be possessed.
She was Dex's wife, which also made her a descendant of the Smith family.
"There's still one thing I don't understand. Dex clearly has the surname Carter—why did Vivian sense he was surnamed Smith?"
Wesley Smith laughed maniacally at me: "Can't figure it out? Go to hell and think about it slowly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged at me with fangs and claws extended.
With Vivian's help, I managed to escape. After several moves, we were all entangled in combat.
Wesley Smith had lived for a thousand years—his power was considerable.
Although Vivian was also a thousand-year-old ghost, she could only fight him to a draw.
And my attacks with the crucifix from the sidelines had minimal effect.
While fending off attacks, Vivian angrily shouted at me: "Where's your holy sword? Take it out and kill him!"
I remained silent.
Vivian's ghostly power could directly attack Wesley Smith' demonic soul inside Rachel's body.
My crucifix could too, but my sword couldn't.
It would attack not just Wesley Smith' demonic soul, but also Rachel's body.
Rachel was human—I couldn't harm an innocent person.
Pushing Dex into the water earlier and attacking Rachel were just acts in a play to force Wesley Smith out.
For this performance, I had already agreed with Vivian that she couldn't harm innocent humans, which is why she protected Dex underwater and prevented him from drowning.
Wesley Smith also saw my restraint and shifted tactics to focus his attacks on me.
I pulled out my Bible to try to block him.
He quickly spun around and threw a punch at my chest.
Unable to dodge in time, I instantly spat out blood.
"Freya!"
Vivian flashed in front of me and started fighting Wesley Smith.
But Wesley Smith kept dodging her attacks and continued assaulting me.
I could only use the Bible for defense and attack, nearly failing to resist several times.
Wesley Smith laughed loudly: "Foolish! Getting yourself injured for the sake of irrelevant people's lives. Vivian, this is the helper you found—too weak!"
Vivian also looked at me with disappointment: "Freya, this isn't the time for mercy. If Wesley Smith doesn't die, we're the ones who will!"
"I know."
But I couldn't harm an innocent person for the sake of my own life.
If I harmed Rachel to kill Wesley Smith, how would I be any different from Wesley Smith?
I wasn't being soft-hearted—I had goodness in my heart.
Without goodness in one's heart, what difference is there from ghosts and demons?
I wouldn't be worthy of being a demon hunter's descendant!
