332 A Great Nun

The black shroud of the Chest of Erebus proved greatly resistant against spells—a fact already proven at the underground ruins of the Orc Palace. As it spread beneath the surface, most of the mages could do nothing to stop its movements. There were just a few spells they could use to hold it within a white crystal box that quarantines all negative energies.

Where did that bizarre anti-magic force come from? It was a mystery that the second research team of the Imperial Royal Mage Guild had been investigating since they received permission to examine the chest.

However, they yielded no results after months. All they found out was that Sacred Light and positive energies had the purification power to hold back the spread of the black shroud—and weaken it to some extent.

And all of them were ignorant of the fact that the black shroud was 'enraged' whenever it was exposed to those powers.

How could a shroud get angry? It was a rather extraordinary truth.
