Soion of the Theocratic Empire More specifically, within the Land of the Dead Spirits located past the Sacrificial Castle, Ronia

A group of convicts were currently walking on a snow-covered hill The icy at their paths

Even though these convicts were tasked with scouting duties, they were still filled to the brim with dissatisfaction at the terrible condition of the ainst their skins

“Bloo hell, we’re still in thesoabout when you can see piles of snow even in Su, you know”

The convicts were tutting loudly ah, they silently shi+fted their gazes to their front

These people were proud of the physical sta military ‘service’ in this place, but even they had to adthe tired by now?”

“I hear that he’s a gravekeeper, but bliravekeeper? Don’tdivinity before? Well, have you?”

“Uh? Doesn’t Lord Saint fit that category?”

“Ah You’re right”

The convicts continued to stare at the individual na ion about four o The other rumour the convicts heard recently was that he hailed from a ruined noble house, but no one seemed to be able to verify that claim

Shuppel scanned his front as white breaths left his lips The fog and the heavy snowfall were nearly blinding hih his eyes couldn’t see, his senses still picked up on the presences of so fro? They had to be undead for sure

Shuppel then unsheathed the sword fro all tense here’

His real combat experiences so far came from that time back in Aslan when he was forced to participate in the ainst the undead here in the northern region

Even though he had been fighting the walking dead for a while now, he just couldn’t get used to it

“Everyone, be on guard,” said Shuppel

The convicts flinched in surprise and quickly pulled out their weapons as well Soon, several dozen silhouettes began staggering out fro

They were at least two reen skin, and rather muscular bodies

Orcs

…However, all those ripped-out bite wounds found all over their bodies and their sunken, lifeless eyes looked quite wrong, for a lack of a better description All those things served as proof that these ones were no longer with the living, butzombies now

“Gimme a break How many times has it already been today?!”

“Still, they’re just zo to fear since they aren’t living Orcs Especially when they’re so slow and lu, too”

The convicts took aim with their weapons as confidence filled up their expressions

Their previous selves fro in their boots as soon as these walking dead showed up

After all, these monsters still moved even after you cut them doith swords and stabbed them with spears

However, the story went rather differently these days

They had all personally received a race of Lord Saint And now, they all firmly believed that even Goddess Gaia would look after them and protect them in ti they needed to do in this place And that was to exterminate the lost undead and purify their tainted souls in order to save the as iven to the

Shuppel suddenly raised his head He see at a spot in the skies for so quite deeply

He froze up instantly before beginning to stumble back “E-everyone… escape from here, now!”

“Wha?”

Shuppel turned around and broke into an urgent sprint

“What are you talking about?! Mister gravekeeper, our opponents are soth is ht these slow and…”

“There’s another rabbed the ared him away The other convicts became a bit lost at that, but they still followed after him in the end

They all felt puzzled by Shuppel’s actions, as he was obviously in a great hurry to flee from this place while cold sweat caked his face

Wondering what’s gotten into him, they turned their heads and looked behind the’ with a slender and lengthy torso quickly dashi+ng out fro

“A Ghoul?”

“I see! Even we can’t possibly take on a Ghoul, after all!”

The convicts hurriedly began sprinting away as well

But Shuppel, while still breathlessly running away up ahead, cried out to theerous htly and looked up again He was staring at the sky

“What the bloody hell is that thing…?!”

Shuppel’s co snow

The other convicts also turned their heads to look, and almost simultaneously, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets
