Chapter 99: Funeral

Time passed and a week later, in the Holy Land of Mariejois, the atmosphere had calmed down. The Four Elders finally felt relieved as they effectively controlled the favored places of the Tenryubito. On the night they were prepared to face the white female ghost, she disappeared without a trace. For an entire week, she did not reappear in any corner of the Holy Land.

During that week, the other ghosts of the resurrected Tenryubito bodies in the Holy Land were eliminated, bringing peace to the area for a long time. The Tenryubito who had been in a panic all day long calmed down, feeling that they were finally returning to normal.

Those Celestial Dragons who had left were informed of the situation in the Holy Land, and some of them returned. After all, no matter how good the outside world was, it is not as convenient as Mariejois. Unless it is a special situation, no Celestial Dragon is willing to leave the Holy Land.

At that moment, the Four Elders sat on the sofa, each with a different expression, but all exuded a strong temperament of superiority.

"Did the female ghost sense that we were about to act on her, so there was no movement?" asked one, while taking a sip of his tea.

"Although we were unable to capture her, this situation only shows that our method is correct and has some effect on her. Even if wecannot stop her, there will definitely be restrictions, otherwise she would not appear," said another of the Five Elders, sitting on the sofa.

The others nodded in agreement.

"All the handprints have also disappeared. Our method may be more effective than we thought."

Finally, they all felt relieved and the stone that hung in their heart was knocked down. It seemed that ghosts were not omnipotent and they had found a way to deal with them. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was not important and they were not afraid of trouble, as there was enough manpower in the Holy Land.

Suddenly, another elder spoke up: "What plans do you have for St. Bruce's funeral?"

"It's time to proceed, we've put it on hold for several days," responded the blonde elder, standing up and walking towards the window to look towards a one-story house where St. Bruce's body lay in the hallway.

His body had been returned to the Holy Land a week ago, but due to the presence of the ghost, no one had dared to organize the funeral. The tragic situation of Saint Charl Rose's funeral was still fresh in memory, as it almost turned the Holy Land into a ghost land and a dozen or twenty Celestial Dragons died at once.

"It just so happens that all the Celestial Dragons who left are now back," another elder sighed insignificantly, looking at the vacant position of St. Bruce.

Lucas, who was observing everything from afar, knew that the situationin the Holy Land was not entirely peaceful. Although the Four Elders had found a way to deal with Sadako, danger still lurked in the shadows. However, Lucas knew he had to be cautious and astute in dealing with the Celestial Dragons and their affairs in the Holy Land. After all, a wrong move could endanger his life and those of his companions. Therefore, he decided to carefully plan his next move and wait for the right moment to act.

The only good news was that now that the ghost problem had been resolved, the Celestial Dragons were returning one after the other, and the scale of the funeral could be increased. After all, no one wanted their funeral to be ignored.

"It will take place in two days," said the blonde elder, making a decision on the matter.

.....

On the day of the funeral, the sky was somber and deep, and it began to rain lightly in Mariejois. In the cemetery, the crowd was packed and many Celestial Dragons wore black clothes as they left the cemetery one by one.

This is the largest cemetery in Mariejois, and all burials are of high-ranking figures from the past. San Bruce was buried here. His grave is located in the center and is covered in white flowers.

The funeral was brief and glorious.

After participating, the Celestial Dragons return home. Some Celestial Dragons who are not sure about returning alone attended the funeral and are now leaving Mariejois and staying outside for a few days to see the situation.

"All video tapes have been destroyed and it seems that the sacred place is finally safe." One Tenryubito commented.

"Yes, I'm not used to living outside for so long. Although the capital where I was is not bad, it is still not as comfortable as the Holy Land," said another Celestial Dragon.

"Exactly, I can finally go home," said another.

The Celestial Dragons spoke and gradually dispersed, leaving the cemetery. At that moment, only the Elders remained in the cemetery, standing in front of San Bruce's tomb and looking at the letters on the gravestone.

They all seemed to have complicated emotions, anger, loneliness, and horror. They had ruled the world with them for so many years and had died like this, now lying in thecold cemetery and their majesty had become a joke.

"Let's go," said the blonde Elder, breaking the silence and looking towards the tomb.

Reducing the expression on their faces, they turned around and left. After the Five Elders left, the cemetery was finally in complete silence.

The light rain in the sky continued to fall, darkening the sky. The raindrops fell on the leaves, collected into large drops of crystal-clear water, and hit the ground heavily.

At the moment the splash erupted, a figure appeared out of nowhere and stood silently under the tree, like a ghost, silently watching as the Celestial Dragons left one by one.

In his line of sight, the Celestial Dragons could no longer be seen behind.

....

....

....

It is Lucas who is observing all of this from a distance.
