Chapter 56

"Do you know her?" Seol asked Karuna.

"I... remember her... krgh..."

"What's wrong?"

"Grrgh..."

Because it was getting somewhat loud, the sleeping necromancer was about to get up.

"Urgh... Wh-what?! Gua—"

Bam!

Karuna quickly dashed toward the necromancer and knocked them out.

He moved so quickly that it was difficult to make out exactly what he did, but it seemed like Karuna struck the necromancer's neck.

"Is he dead?"

"He isn't. I apologize for making noise."

"It's fine, we didn't get caught anyway."

Judging by how Seol could hear him softly breathing, the man was still definitely alive.

Seol then turned his attention to the documents again.

- We became sure. All of this was an opportunity for The Church of Death's Truth to defeat The Church of Eternal Life and be reborn again. We immediately went to action.

After that listed The Church of Death's Truth's actions.

- We attempted to forcibly revive the corpse as an undead but it failed due to the corpse rejecting it. And since the corpse required immense vitality to revive as an undead, we moved the ceremony location to the Great Forest.

But because the undead ceremony was so difficult, the Crystal of Death Pronouncement became a necessity. And thus far, twenty-one people have become trapped in the crystal.

They still had the option of the archbishop directly entering the corpse but if the archbishop became trapped as well, it would result in the end of The Church of Death's Truth. Since they had no other options, they then decided to notify The Church of Eternal Life.

Nothing much was written after that.

Close.

Seol placed the documents where he originally found them.

He then was silent.

'I have a general understanding of the situation.'

The Church of Death's Truth discovered an unknown corpse in the Mirage Desert.

They tried reviving the corpse as an undead but because the corpse was so powerful, they transported it to the Great Forest.

Also, the ceremony has continuously failed and twenty-one lives have been sacrificed.

'I doubt they did it voluntarily... did they force them to partake in it? Those evil bastards...'

It was quite a bit shameless for Seol, the founder of The Church of Eternal Life, to call them evil.

Regardless, since the master and archbishop of The Church of Death's Truth was coming either today or tomorrow, there was not much time left.

'Then where's Chao?'

She either judged that the situation was bad for her and backed away, or...

'Did she enter the crystal?'

Seol was starting to feel a bit suffocated as he had no way to check.

Ever since Seol came here, his anxiety has been high.

And two things have been making him especially worried. The first was that the unidentified corpse looked like Karuna when Seol first met him. The second was that Karuna was in pain when he tried recalling his memories.
