As the sun sets, it gets colder and colder near the cemetery.

Se squinted his eyes and leaned against the tombstone, sitting quietly without saying a word. Combined with his pale skin, it looked like he was dead from afar.

With the naked eye, you can see that there is a faint frost-white breath floating against the ground. If you touch it a little, the cold of the bones will crawl all the way along the flesh and skin.

It was the negative energy that was entwined in the land of Karar.

To put it mildly, the so-called grave keepers are some humanoid vacuum cleaners used to suck away these negative energy. This is also the reason why the grave keeper is basically physically weak after a long time, and he is constantly suffering from major and minor illnesses.

It's not that he was targeted by something, but the vitality in his body has long been hollowed out. Just because people with insufficient perception cannot see these negative energies, they have no way of knowing the dangers of their profession.

Because the druids have invested too much magic in the land, this land contains extremely active energy.

Druids are different from priests who mobilize energy from the gods and wizards who mobilize laws from the walls of Orm. If the first two are looking up at the stars, the druids are looking down at the earth.

Their power comes from the earth. To be precise, their power comes from the outermost wall of Gaia in the entire world of Faens.

This is also the confidence of the people of Caral. The Great Barrier of the Three Sages almost obscured the entire sky. Standing in this position, any power and message that falls from the sky will be intercepted.

It can be said that no caster can survive in Karar except for the druid. The effect of the over-activated earth on the druid's magic is the same as the wizard standing in the dust-clad mana of order to perform sorcery. Both in size and intensity, there will be a degree of unstable increase.

And the energy that is active in this land of Caral naturally includes negative energy. Even the druids of the dead wood and vine line are good at using these negative energies hidden in the depths of the land.

As the sun goes down, the concentration of negative energy in the air begins to increase, and even the negative energy in the ground is also drawn. Condensed into a solid body, crawling slowly against the ground.

If this activated negative energy comes into contact with a corpse that has not been blessed by the divine magic. These corpses will be slightly demonized.

This happens all over the world in Faense, but it has become a very common phenomenon only in Carral.

It's easy to stop this demonization. Just ask the priest or druid to perform a simple ceremony. But in the non-godly Carral, priesthood has become a despicable profession, and it is impossible for the people of Caral to find a priest to perform the ritual - and even if they can find a priest, it is impossible for them to hand over the bodies of their loved ones to people they do not trust.

If the druids were to perform the ceremony, they would have needed cobblestone soaked in palm oil as signposts, elk horns as sacrifices, and purple shirt canes to guide the spirits of the dead back to earth. The entire ritual cost twenty gold coins for the spell casting materials alone, which is close to three hundred Elcat silver coins.

Not to mention ordinary businessmen. Even the poorer aristocrats couldn't afford it.

Of course, the effect of the druid's transcendence is also different from that of the priest of the gods. The priest's thin burial was a simple sanctification of the corpse, and in terms of effect alone, it was no different from soaking the corpse in holy water; And the druid's transcendence is to literally pull the soul directly into the underworld.

Mourners and crows can do this at a much lower cost. After all, this is within the scope of the mentor's ability.

That chant is called a funeral chant, and it's a series of baptismal chants.

Kakarit stood on the back of the tombstone on which Joseph was leaning, and chanted in a low voice: "...... Let's get back to dust. ”

As he chanted, two silver-white flames burned quietly at the bottom of his pupils.

An invisible, warm wind centered around Kakarit and spread silently around it.

In Joseph's vision, the slowly spreading halo of holy white light was like a white veil blowing through the air. The fluttering gradually dissipated.

Those frost-white breaths melted away from the slight impregnation of this holy white halo, seeping into the white breeze.

If ordinary people with relatively low perception ability were allowed to stand here now, that person would be able to clearly feel that the bone-eating coldness of the outside world had been completely dispelled. A faint warmth gradually enveloped the whole body.

After chanting for a while, Kakarit closed his eyes. The pupils that faintly burned with the holy white flame gradually closed.

It's just to dispel some of the negative energy that no one has served. A chant is sufficient.

It was not only the activated negative energy that roamed the earth and did not dare to approach Joseph and Kakarit that was directly extinguished. The bodies buried beneath this cemetery were also sanctified by Kakarit. At least there is no need to worry about these corpses being recontaminated by negative energy.

However, just half a minute after Kakarit stopped praying, an even more violent cold wind returned.

This time it's not just a matter of the frosty white marks floating on the ground. It's like an ant tide. A thick layer of white smoke covered the entire ground and swept in from all directions. The low tombstone is directly submerged, and the cemetery becomes like a fairyland.

It was a silent and slow encirclement.

No doubt. This is an effect that cannot be achieved without human manipulation.

"Oh?"

Joseph scoffed, "Your prayer is good...... Fishing alone. ”

"Ah, a big fish."

Kakarit's eyes flashed with a cold light.

He opened his eyes completely, and the intense flame burning in his eyes distorted even the air around him.

The silver-white halo swung around and around, and silver-gray runes began to slowly emerge on his body.

"The vanished, the senile, are called by me, commit themselves to me, learn from me, and serve me—"

Then the first chant was sung, and Kakarit held his hands and chanted the guru's prayer to the enemy hidden in the fog with an icy demeanor and fiery enthusiasm.

Suddenly, a thin halo of light swept away from under Kakarit's feet. His feet suddenly turned completely white.

Holy silver-white crosses slowly grew from the ground, and these crosses, which were less than knee-high, shone brightly and bloomed like flowers.

"Don't forget the song, don't forget the prayer, don't forget the long sleep—"

In Kakarit's clear voice, white butterflies composed of pure light slowly flew out from the top of the cross, which bloomed like flowers, and spread freely around it.

“…… Oh, interesting. ”

Joseph snorted happily and watched the scene in front of him with appreciation.

Just by being approached by the white butterflies, the white mist dispersed in large areas.

If the unknown enemy who is using negative energy now appears here, these butterflies will pounce on them in large numbers.

He doesn't even have to touch it - as long as he gets close enough to set him on fire. And any sorcery and magic with negative energy elements will be detonated prematurely once it touches a butterfly.

The difference between funeral chant and baptismal chant is that one is for energy and the other is for spirits.

Just as the blades made of crosses are also physically destructive. Even if the combat power of these butterflies themselves is not strong, once they are detonated, the holy fire or holy light brought by the explosion is not vegetarian.

But just as there were only two verses left in Kakarit's chant, the voice of a somewhat flustered young man came from the much thinner fog: "Captain, this is it! It's coming soon! ”

"- Kao!?"

Joseph's pupils contracted instantly. (To be continued.) )
