Chapter 1097: The Strange Infection

-----

Doctor Altamar led us to the nearest house, there were roughly twenty people there, they all just started having symptoms. They were all, naturally, mermen. Their ages ranged widely, though there was also a lot of children, so they're definitely much weaker than the adults against miasma.

I am guessing this must be a reason why they're also chosen to become chimeras, they accept more easily the miasmic infection and don't fight back, allowing those wicked vampires to easily turn them into chimeras or use them for homunculi.

Their blue skin was covered on slimy, black-colored spots. There were perhaps dozens all across their bodies. Those that had spots on their eyes had them swollen and completely red.

Those that were awake were in real pain, gasping for air, gritting their teeth, constantly having shivers. They were talking nonsense, hallucinating.
