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.
