”It's getting stronger…”
The stench that rode with the wind became more apparent The source was located to the west
”?”
Reina still hadn't detected it and wore a confused expression
It wasn't that her senses were dull She was one of the greatest geniuses in history, reaching the realy, before she was even 20 She would no doubt be able to enter the royal knights with ease
However, Abel's senses were even greater than hers
This was thanks to his white ic, his senses had been amplified manifold
He was especially sensitive to black mana, which was the polar opposite of hisfrom… over there? Let's have a look”
Abel spoke while pointing west He was 100 curious now
”No! Don't do anything dangerous and let's be on our way”
Reina had one uard Abel It was natural for her to stop Abel froht as day… and if there's anything dangerous, you can just protect me”
”That's true, but…”
Reina was tempted after Abel said that She was proud of the subtle nod to her skills
”Let's just have a look at what it is”
”Fine, then…”
Reina see ABel
”Urgh…!”
After a while, she was able to smell the stink as well
Abel started off with curiosity, but ondering if he should turn around with the s worse
Ca
Just at that moment, a murder of crows flew past his head They were headed to the same direction Abel was headed in
'This feels rather ominous…'
His intuition screamed that it was a bad idea to proceed
Abel eventually decided to turn back the way they cao ba… Whoa! Sht What the fck is that!”
Just as he was about to turn around, he beca scene in front of hie in the distance In one part of the village, corpses were piled into a h they had been about to burn the on top of the pile From their perspective, this was practically a buffet
”Dao!”
What did he expect… He turned around violently
The identity of the stench was a pile of corpses
”Wait! There's a person over there!”
Reina said while pointing at the center of the village
Abel turned around when Reina said that He could see a girl as dragging out a corpse fro a white one-piece dress that flapped in the wind, had grey hair, and earing a cloth mask The snohite fabric had become stained all over, and there was a lot of sweat on her forehead fro several corpses
'Should we help? She looks like she's having it hard'
Nope If he did and got into trouble…
He had seen a news article back on Earth
Youngster~ that van over there looks like my son's car, but this old lady can't see clearly because ood, could you helpman, and he decided to help out Only to be kidnapped by the van, and had his organs sold The world was a cruel place
Moreover, that girl was carrying corpses!
However…
”What are you doing and not helping her? Her clothes seem like she's from the Gaia Church! Follow me”
Swoosh
Reina ran doithout hesitation And she was the one who told hierous…
”Hey… At least walk there! My legs are hurting!”
Having no choice, Abel followed suit
Fwoosh-
When they arrived at the village, a desolate wind greeted them first From how they couldn't feel any presence of life, it was likely that the entire village had perished
Eventually, Abel and Reina arrived at the front of the mountain of bodies They were able to see that the corpses were not norh they were infected with soreen spots all over their bodies
”Urgh! Huuu…”
Abel was at a loss what to do after seeing so many corpses for the first ti This was practically a set froh on the outside, her hands were shaking as well According to what she knew, the Gaia Church was a holy existence that did good for the people This hy she had co the pile of bodies, she had the urge to turn tail
When they approached even closer, they couldn't bear the s
They saw a girl as arduously dragging a corpse from far away Reina approached her
”You are fro by this place, but just what is happening here?”
Reina spoke to the girl
”Ah! It's better if you stay away! There's an epideestured for Reina to step back
”Whoa? An epide her words, Abel immediately cast a detoxification spell
Thewith the s meat, there was thick black smoke with an acrid stench This black smoke was caused by incomplete combustion
”Did you irl
”I had two attendants with irl seeh her sentence
From her words, she was one of the candidates for the holy maiden at the church, and was dispatched here to cure the epide the cure However, the entire village iped out nary a week after she had arrived
”They sent a tiny group of 3 people to a dangerous place like this? And a young girl at that? Dang, such a cheap religion…”
Abel was rough with his words as he didn't understand as happening
Even though a normal believer of the faith would have treated hiirl calmly continued
”We haven't had any providence for the last 3 years… we can't help it”
”A providence?”
