[You have created the [Divine Ward]: [Purifying Garden]!]
[Within the area of effect, wandering souls will be quickly absorbed, purified, and released. Surrounding area will be purified of all malign energies that could be contaminating the area.]
[Duration: 1 Hour]
FLAAASH!
Light illuminated our surroundings, the entire residence of Lord Magica was quickly purified, as I combined the power of [Divine Ward] with my Verdant Green Domain Magic to create a pseudo domain through a barrier.
Thanks to the Barrier Master Title, I can now transform Barriers and add more effects to them, it seemed rather simple at first, but it is quite clear it has little to not limits to what I can make with them, as long as I have the magic for the added effects.
The golden flowers of light glowed brightly, releasing their petals, illuminating the already dark night like small stars. The petals absorbed invisible essence floating around, while also purifying the area from Miasma, Nether, or Demonic Energy.
If these energies were left behind, more monsters could be born, so it was necessary to clean the place before something dangerous were to happen again. And well, the other reason why I conjured this was because of this.
"Are those souls?" Patricia asked.
"T-They look like ghosts…" Joustin muttered.
The phantasmal figures of many people started floating away, slowly being purified by the light. They looked dark and sickly before, I could tell. It seemed as if a deadly curse had been inflicted upon them, making them much weaker.
But thanks to this Pseudo Domain Divine Ward, the souls were swiftly "captured", purified, and then released, where they were finally able to "pass away" wherever they would be brought to. I had no idea if there was even a heaven in here, the gods existed but, was there some place where souls rested?
"Yeah, I've decided to erect this barrier so the people that died could find peace. Most of the souls of the chimeras were trapped in a similar fashion than other beasts we've fought." I sighed. "I think it was fair to use my powers for this."
"I guess you're not wrong…" David nodded. "I hope they can finally find peace."
As we all silently watched the souls disappear one after another, the garden and the residence swiftly purified itself. A group of knights arrived in the scene, alongside some more soldiers, they were told by the King to guard the area so nobody would try to get inside and end up getting infected by remaining Miasma or Nether.
Although our job here was finally done, there was a slightly bitter feeling about the end of this day, and I also felt slightly frustrated too. Perhaps the system window that I was taking a look at after everything ended could potentially make me feel slightly better.

I was already one level from reaching the level cap, which meant I was only a few million EXP off evolving and Ranking Up once more. It felt really fast. This entire kingdom is so filled of dangerous threats that the EXP never ends coming.
Though, even with the joy of growth and progression, it still feels a bit sad. But maybe that'll go away once I get back with everyone else in the smithy and we can talk things out and have a nice dinner together or something, right?
Yeah, I need to stay positive and see the bright side of things! Just like Jenny said. I can't believe that someone like me who is usually saying such things, would have to hear it from someone else to finally understand.
The materials I got sound quite gruesome, but they could have their uses, perhaps as catalyzers to find more of the cultists, or maybe as materials to some sort of malevolent potion, perhaps! But what that potion would be for? I don't know.
Maybe I could create Demonic Bombs? But for what? I don't want to spread even more demonic energy around. Maybe making a demonic weapon or armor instead? Wouldn't it hurt to wear them though?
I can't find much use out of them, but I'm sure I'll get some idea, eventually. Good thing I also got a themed treasure chest and even more Nether Coins, it seems like it counted as some sort of Nether Monster? Perhaps because it employed Nether Energies, and the cult is cooperating with the Demon King of Death, so the rewards might include that too, interestingly enough.
"We're here." David said, stopping the carriage.
We all walked outside of the carriage, as David and his apprentice knights waved their hands at us. They seemed to have slightly changed their faces since the moment we first saw them. Although gruesome, I suppose this was an experience they needed to grow stronger, both physically and mentally.
"We'll come back tomorrow to report what the King has to say, Lady Planta. Have a good night and thank you for your help. Your payment should have already been deposited in the Adventurer's Guild." David said.
"Thank you, David!" I waved my hand, as I saw them off.
Looks like it's time to pay a small visit to the guild once more and claim even more rewards! I wonder what face the receptionist is going to make now.
