I instructed everyone to stay inside the hotel while Yabber and I walked out together with two other people. Just as we reached the staircase, I saw that the gray mist had already filled up the area. This immediate visual gave me a sense of disgust. Oh my, why does this look so much like the Shepherd's Canyon?

"It seems that the mist has spread here as well. Typically, ordinary people would..."

"I have to say, is your church fond of idleness? Everyone seems so lazy. What do you normally do?"

"Well..."

The two priests glanced at each other and then looked at Yabber.

Yabber sighed apologetically and said, "To be honest, there have been too many people joining the church recently, and there are too many idle positions within the church. As a result, the responsibilities are divided very finely, so these two... They usually just come to observe and confirm if the other side is truly a heretic. They are not the ones responsible for combat."

"What... How did you...?"

Helplessly, I looked at these two guys who were higher-ranked than me... How did you manage to level up so high? Tell me!

After being exposed, the two guys began laughing foolishly. Oh my, it turns out that the church also has a bunch of clowns!

"So, what exactly can you do?"

"Well... healing spells and light bullets."

As he spoke, one of the priests named Heduo pointed forward, and a white light sphere shot out, dispersing the nearby mist.

"I have to say, you may not be good at anything else, but insta-casting light bullets is quite impressive."

Light bullets are the most powerful spells among low-level light-based attack magic. Although they don't cause much damage to anything other than undead creatures, they are very convenient spells due to their low consumption and high accuracy. And these two guys... They didn't bother to practice high-level spells and instead leveled up this weakest spell to such a high degree. Are they clowns?

"Oh well, forget it. Can you guys spread your wings like angels?"

"Well... we can indeed, but apart from creating a certain aura, there isn't any other use."

After finishing his sentence, these two individuals spread their wings, surrounded their bodies with a layer of white light.

"This is enough. Let's go. With this, we can walk in the 'Veil of the Undead' without any problems."

I nodded and then spread my angel wings, walking directly into the 'Veil of the Undead'. However, I'm not using the aura to resist the invasion of the 'Veil of the Undead'. After all, the 'Veil of the Undead' is like a buff that increases my strength. Why would I resist it?

"You seem pretty relaxed. Indeed, talent makes all the difference."

At this moment, Yabber also spread her angel wings, but she seemed to be struggling a bit. It seems that opening the angel wings is not an easy task for them.

However, Yabber with her spread wings looked even more beautiful, with pure white wings slightly opening on her back, emitting a faint white light. Wrapped in her white hair, she looked like... an angel radiating light.

"Huh? Why are you staring at me?"

"It's nothing. It's just that when you spread your wings, you look like an angel."

"Angel... you really love to joke. How can I possibly compare to an angel?"

"Who knows~"

"Really? Have you ever seen a real angel?"

"Well... as for that..."

The angel hadn't seen one, but the demon had.

"I haven't seen one. Well, anyway, let's focus on completing our mission. Look, the situation around us doesn't seem optimistic."

She pointed around and then listened carefully.

We all quieted down and listened for a while... but there was no sound at all.

"There's no sound at all?"

"It's strange precisely because there's no sound. It indicates that most of the people nearby are probably..."

"That's not true."

I looked around and said,

"Most of the civilians are still alive. They just passed out from being unable to withstand the aura of the undead... of course, that's only most of them. Some villagers seem... a bit off."

"Then... they might have been turned into undead."

"Turned into undead? What's that?"

"You can tell that some civilians have passed out and are acting strange, but you don't know about turning into undead. Where did you gain your knowledge from, anyway?"

Looking at Yabber's frustrated expression, I laughed and said,

"Wasn't it you who taught me my light magic?"

"Uh..."

Yabber hesitated, then averted his gaze.

"Cough cough, let's not discuss that. Let's focus on solving the problem."

"Yeah, we're just wasting time here."

I went straight to a room nearby. As soon as I pushed the door open, a citizen who had fallen suddenly jumped up from the ground and his body transformed into strange green symbols, then rushed toward us!

What the hell! Did they turn into zombies!
