ALL NOVEL 878 Accidentally finding the shelter for the surviving citizens
Boogsh!
Lilou, Rufus, and Law stopped on top of a roof as soon as they noticed an explosion of light somewhere else. Because of the darkness in the land of Spade, even a candle in the distance was noticeable. Thus, that huge light coming from the south caught their attention.
"They've arrived, huh?" a sense of relief swelled in Lilou's chest, knowing that light was done by a member of the Divine Order.
"Claude succeeded. Rufus nodded, relieved that the others managed to get in. Moreover, it appeared they didn't have to worry about anything else, for it seemed Claude didn't waste his time.
Assuming that the Divine Order went on to use their strength and power in purifying the
undead only displayed Claude's critical decision. Now, Lilou and Rufus didn't have to go to them one by one, stopping them from hurting the undead.
"I'm glad he did this," said Lilou, having the same conclusion as Rufus. "He truly had grown into a young fine man." "Indeed. No wonder Klaus was proud."
Meanwhile, Law, who was standing between Lilou and Rufus couldn't help but dart his eyes between them. From what he had heard and witnessed so far, Claude relayed the message to the Divine Orders. After all, Lilou was preoccupied with her battle against Acheron Roseberg while Rufus was purifying every district he would go to.
Lilou and Rufus didn't have the time, nor did they have the choice to do another task on top of what they were already doing. In other words, Claude, who went to do what he had to do, made a critical decision. Law didn't know the details of what Claude was doing before that, but he still made the right call.
Another light spread in a different direction, confirming their guess. And then another one in a different direction. Soon, one after another, a bright light would spread, appearing and then disappearing after a minute or so. It was akin to fireworks but on the ground.
BOOOGSH!!
Their attention was immediately caught when a whirlwind suddenly appeared in a particular direction. There were a few undead flying within the whirlwind, disabling them from fighting. Another whirlwind rose out of nowhere, and then another one.
In one area, there were at least five whirlwinds. However, this phenomenon didn't seem it was destroying everyone in its way. If anything, it was sucking all the undead in the area to avoid any bloody confrontation with them.
"Heliot," whispered Lilou, smiling in relief as she was familiar with Heliot's power.
The prince of the great Karo Kingdom had a very destructive power, suiting a man in power like him. But that wasn't what made Heliot amazing. It was his control over his destructive power that was phenomenal. They had met many vampires who carried destructive powers, but most of them resorted to using them if only necessary. After all, such devastating power had unimaginable repercussions. That was what made Heliot stand out.
"My lady, will you step aside for a bit?" Rufus kept his eyes on the whirlwind while Lilou and Law gazed at his side profile. "It seemed Prince Heliot was in a deadlock situation."
Lilou furrowed her brows and then gazed at another whirlwind appearing. "Since I leliot doesn't have the weapon or ability like the Divine Order, I'm pretty sure he had no other means to stop the undead but that."
"Law, let's go." Lilou immediately shifted her attention to her son right after she grasped the situation. "Rufus will assist Heliot."
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere I don't know yet." Lilou shrugged. "We'll see if we can help with the rescue. Let's go."
"Mhm!" Law nodded enthusiastically before looking back at Rufus.
"I'll be alright, Young Master" Rufus offered a subtle smile. "Don't worry."
"I'm not worried. I know you will be fine. Law pressed his lips, and without further ado, he followed his mother. They continued to hop from one roof to the other, checking the area to see if there were citizens who hadn't turned into undead.
As they jumped from roof to roof, eyes on the ground, Law narrowed his eyes upon seeing a shadow. "Mom, wait!" he yelled, skidding on the roof to stop. Lilou also stopped eyes on Law.
"There's someone over there!" Lilou stretched her neck, narrowing her eyes as she gazed in the direction her son was pointing at. She caught a small shallow in a narrow alley as if someone was hiding in it.

When a person in the narrow alley peeked his hand out, Lilou and Law looked at each other. They nodded, silently agreeing to go down to check it. With that being said, Lilou and Law jumped out of the roof. They approached the narrow alley cautiously with Lilou in the front. "Stand back, Law." She paused, her hand stretched to the side as she looked back at him. "The curse Zero put upon this land chooses no age."
In other words, this child stuck in this narrow alley could be an undead. It was cruel, but this was the reality they had to stomach and deal with.
"Alright." Law nodded, staying still in his spot while his mother continued to approach the alley. "Is someone there?" Lilou called, taking another cautious step forward. "If you are unaffected, speak right now!"
Nothing.
Lilou took a deep breath, her jaw tightening. Iler eyes sharpened as she spoke under her breath, "Lakresha"
A dark and green shroud immediately wrapped around Lilou's arm until it formed into a gigantic scythe. She kept her weapon on her back but was prepared to use if it an undead jumped on
her.
"I will say it one last time!" this time, her voice thundered, echoing across the quiet street. "Come out now if you are not an undead! I do not want to harm you, so, come..."
Lilou's breath suddenly hitched as she trailed off while Law furrowed his brows. They looked around, only to see people come out of the houses with fear dominating their faces.
