"By their speed, they should be here by now,"
Rui Kai said as he pointed to an area on the map.
It's roughly thirty to forty kiloters from where they are now.
That place is effectively a transit hub.
It used to be a village too.
"Are there still many undead creatures in this fallen region now?" Alka asked curiously.
"Many, of course, even though the greatest crisis has been resolved, these undead aren't very intelligent.
Moreover, it's very difficult to completely eliminate the impact of so many undead having once occupied a place.
They probably have to wait for the Flower Fairy to fully awaken before they can regain control over this fallen region."
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
"Are you all planning to leave now?" Alka asked.
After all, the support from the Holy Mother and the Holy Machine Church ca to help them defend against falling.
The greatest crisis is now resolved, and they've even started pushing back, leaving mainly cleanup work.
The two churches' support is likely to return, as Gemini Island controls a vast area.
The Church on Gemini Island is also almost the largest force in the region; they are also very busy. This is an endlessly chaotic area of the Endless Sea; there is no force that isn't understaffed.
To his surprise, Rui Kai shook his head.
And the man next to him spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and low: "It's not that simple, young man, these disgusting dregs won't give up so easily.
This is a ritual for the awakening of the Divine; it's only now reaching the stage where they beco hysterical, desperate."
This person seed to be nad Chebriid, Alka recalled.
He then began to carefully ponder the aning of his words.
Rui Kai gently patted the table.
"It's normal if you don't understand. After all, your ti in the Endless Sea isn't that long, and you probably haven't been to too many places either."
As he said that, he stood up, waved to Alka, and walked towards the outside.
Chebriid also followed him out.
Alka followed out of curiosity.
He saw the two standing at the door, staring at the sky, as if the answer they sought lay there.
Even though the sky was pitch black at the mont.
Looking up.
The dark sky was gloomier than usual; the stars and the splendid star river that usually filled the sky were blocked by sothing.
"Look carefully, observe the energy in the sky closely."
A large amount of dark energy filled the sky, and the surroundings were extrely chaotic, more so than before.
"Although we used the Sea God's power to resolve the most troubleso issue in one go, the problem isn't so easily solved completely.
The congregation of such a massive amount of negative energy in the sky not only affects the speed of the Flower Fairy's awakening, but can also be used.
Those cultists, cunning and revolting, will surely use this negative energy to do nauseating things," Rui Kai said, scratching his head in slight frustration.
"These rats in the sewers are like that, and incidentally, there's a rat hole nearby.
Beneath a seemingly calm exterior, nurous rats have already sprung into action."
Chebriid said in his signature low pitch.
Alka roughly understood their aning.
This negative energy in the sky was likely produced by the large-scale deaths of those attacking undead today.
After all, next to it is the Giant Wood Habitat, renowned for its chaos.
The Sea of Moisture is the best place to hide.
The Life and Death Boundary is too dangerous; no one dares to go there.
The Land of Spirits is the Flower Fairy's domain, and normally, no one would be too brazen there.
And the Giant Wood Habitat, the largest area, can be described as a chaotic mix of pirates, cultists, and fugitives gathered there.
Calling it a rat hole is very fitting.
And now, once the Flower Fairy awakens, she will certainly crush the rat hole and the rats around her.
These rats will naturally rise in resistance.
Compared to straightforward attacks like those at the Life and Death Boundary, these rats love nothing more than sneaky sabotage.
Because a large number of undead creatures from the Life and Death Boundary died here at once, an enormous amount of negative energy gathered in the sky, turning it into a feast for the rats.
Unless the Flower Fairy fully awakens, it's hard for this place to be safe.
Under such circumstances, the people of the two churches couldn't possibly leave easily.
"You must have dealt with that cultist nad Karuto?" Rui Kai suddenly said.
Alka nodded, "That's right, I encountered him head-on while clearing demons before. But he got away."
"Alati also caught him, but he escaped as well. However, this ti, Alati discovered the presence behind him."
"The presence behind him?" Alka was a bit puzzled, could it be the demon that led to the Nafasi Clan's demise?
Rui Kai nodded, "When you return, you can ask Simon; he should have relevant records, quite a famous demon.
This ti, he will surely act, watch out for this cunning demon."
Alka nodded.
"We don't know the exact na of this demon, we only know that those who are aware of him call him the 'Mouth of Devourer.'"
After Rui Kai briefly explained,
Alka noted down this na.
After chatting for a while, he returned to the place they were resting.
It seems that their target to eliminate, Karuto, has a formidable presence behind him.
Not the Evil God, but a powerful demon?
A more revolting presence than the Evil God, at least in this world.
Now that a large number of undead have been cleaned out, they can prepare to retrieve treasures in the fallen region.
This can be considered as simply clearing a target first.
Next, they should wait for the Flower Fairy's awakening, and their task would be considered complete.
It is expected to be about eight or nine months until the Flower Fairy's awakening.
That negative energy probably delayed it by about a month.
