Chapter 433: Exorcising An Entire Sect

-----

The graveyard, a place in the Winter Lotus Sect where they bury the bodies of the Sect Members that had died by various causes, some died of old age, others died in battle, and others of diseases, and other things.

There are many graves in here, all of them seem to have some corpse, although they\'re all just bones at this point. The corpses of the commoners these insensitive idiots let die were buried outside the sect\'s walls. Their names forgotten.

Well, not really.

You see… since I got inside the sect territory that I have not stopped seeing souls of people everywhere. They\'re all mostly the mortals that died here. All these people in the outskirts of the sect that died miserably against the shadow beasts… they were infecting the entire place and making a fuss everywhere.

Good thing not many can see them, not even Mikohime. Well, the thing is they\'re all groaning and wailing together in unison, they seem to be haunting and hating the people in here, because they let them all die.

"My lord, they seem to be in great pain."

Rose appeared behind me, she was looking at all the souls in pain, they were not really ghosts as they had yet to be mutated with mana, but they were simply mere and raw souls which were being very hateful. Maybe if we let them like this for some time, they would turn into ghosts and terrorize the population.

We can\'t have that… So it would be better to either purify them or… well, repurpose them. But I pity these people, forcing them to become my ghost doesn\'t suit my tastes.

So I began to gather them all in a single place, catching them like fish in a net made out of my soul, until the very last one was caught.

Their groans in pain and agony were rather horrendous to hear, especially all together… Ugh, but I pushed through it and then decided what to do.

"My lord, you\'ve gathered for me? Ah! I-Is this a snack for me?" she asked.

"What? Don\'t dare touch these souls! They\'re innocent people, I don\'t want them to be eaten… Let\'s see…"

I quickly decided to conjure a spell I had made some time ago, it was a simple death attribute spell which allowed a soul to be "purified" out of their negative emotions, making them finally go to the afterlife, usually to Helheim in here, or maybe a transmigration cycle… or is there a Nirvana? Well, whatever the case, it\'s better than here.

The spell name was Death Cleansing.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

…

After spending a few minutes doing this, I cleansed all the souls out of their suffering, and they were now all gone to the afterlife. This is a forceful method, but their corpses were already buried so their resentment was clearly not because they were not given proper burial, but just an unending hate to this sect… yikes.

Damn, I really should ask for some extra payment for working as a part-time exorciser…

However, it\'s not like I didn\'t end without being rewarded here. I did got rewarded! I got a massive ball of darkness, which is essential dark and evil thoughts infused together and packed up in a single sphere. Death Cleansing clean a soul of their hatred and everything that keeps them here, but this energy by itself can be repurposed as well, and I believe the Shadow Beasts are somehow made out through a method similar to this one.

The sphere of darkness atop my head could be launched at the sect right now and curse everyone with negative thoughts, maybe they would all go berserk and try to kill each other! That would certainly be funny to see… but not really! So we better not do that.

"M-Master! I-Is that a massive sphere of evil thoughts and hatred?! It looks so tasty!" said Rose. The former Vampire woman was a loyal ghost minion of mine by now, she often did recon for me, but also fought bravely whenever that was the time.

"I guess you can have it, I was planning on saving it whenever I needed it, but take it as a snack for being a good ghost pet." I said.

"Ohooo~! Master, I am forever in debt with you!"

Rose expanded her crimson-red body and encompassed the entire mass of darkness, devouring it one single bite…

POOF!

As the entire darkness dissipated, she easily absorbed it all. Her entire phantasmal body began to mutate and change, turning in some areas black, while her red colors intensified and became more demonic. In a way she looked like she was expanding in an explosive and never-ending sea of darkness and crimson…

FLASH!

"Gyahahahaha! T-This is it!"

She suddenly evolved, and slowly compacted herself into her usual form, although she was now clearly stronger, and exuded an even stronger aura from within… darkness, blood, and all the hatred she ate all fused together into a massive and terrifying aura. Rose\'s Mana Core had actually hit the next rank and she became a Rank 3 Peak Stage, interesting, almost Rank 4 already.

Rose was the one that led the Vampires that attacked the Ice Moon Sect and were looking for Ruby, after dying and becoming my Blood Ghost, however, she went through a great change and became a loyal lackey (mostly thanks to Benladann\'s charm).

"Excellent, I see you\'ve grown bigger and stronger now. Let\'s go to the graveyard now, I will be using your help in this place." I said.

"Oh, my help? Yes, yes! I shall help my master in everything he requires, everything!" she said, floating around me happily, her entire phantom body had shaped into a long crimson and black dress, making her look quite pretty.

She was an interesting specimen, and a good way to experiment over non-corporeal Undead. I might make a whole squad of Ghosts at some point, which could serve as recon or spies led by her… it might be interesting.
