Chapter 6: What Rose from Underground

“Ugh! There’s miasma everywhere!”

At the large graveyard behind the church, we found the area I had purified with light magic completely steeped in miasma. How could this have happened in the span of a few days? No graveyard should build up this much miasma in such a short time.

“Sanctuaire!”

I immediately deployed a holy zone to protect us from the miasma. A white, veillike barrier surrounded the three of us. The pale-purple miasma hanging in the air around us was immediately cleared.

“That should protect us for a while,” I said.

“Thanks. I wonder where the miasma came from...” Rouga muttered.

“It might have something to do with the underground waterway,” Nino said.

“Even so... Whoa!”

The ground shook once again as thunderous explosions echoed up from underground. It was like something was ramming against the surface of the earth. There was no way this was an earthquake.

“That was a close one. Nearly bit my tongue,” Rouga said.

“Grrrrrr!”

“Tch!”

With an eerie cry, a rotten hand reached up from the base of a gravestone. The orange sunset was turning into a navy night sky. The undead woken by the miasma began crawling out of their graves with the nightfall.

“There’s so many of them! Nino, Rouga, can you help gather the ones in front of me? I’ll purify them all at once with Blanche!”

“Leave it to me!”

“I can handle that.”

Rouga got his large shield ready as Nino grabbed her daggers. The pair directed the swarming zombies to gather before me.

“Blanche! Blanche!”

I cast purifying magic twice in succession at the moving wall of zombies. The holy light turned them to ash, returning them to the ground. Although there were a lot of them, they were just the lowest-ranked zombies. With the support of my black blade, I’d cleaned them all up with one spell.

“Looks like we’ll be done in no time!” Rouga said.

“Yes. Thankfully they’re just zombies,” Nino agreed.

“Huh?! There it is again!”

For a third time, the ground shook. It really seemed like something was happening below us. We braced our legs and waited for things to settle, but there was no sign of it easing up. In fact, the shaking seemed to be getting closer.

“Something’s coming!” Rouga warned.

“A giant mole?” Nino asked.

“They don’t live near here!”

“It’s here!” I shouted.

The ground exploded, sending the zombies flying. At the same time, intense miasma spouted out of the ground. We carefully moved over to see that a large hole had opened in the middle of the graveyard. It appeared to be quite deep, as we couldn’t see the bottom even when we leaned over the edge. A deep darkness lay within.

“What is this?” Rouga asked.

“It looks like something burst out from below,” Nino replied.

“This humid air... Is it connected to the underground waterway?” I asked.

“Most likely,” said Rouga. “Nino, do you have the map of the waterway memorized from last time?”

“Of course I do. It’s a basic ninja skill.”

“Then do you know what part of the waterway we’re above right now?”

She brought a hand to her chin and thought for a moment.
