Kapitel 499: What Shouldn't Exist

"...Peculiar," Archard suddenly stated. 

"What is it?" He asked.

They all turned their gazes towards the armor-clad, wizened man, who was looking down at something floating in the pool of liquid.

It was bloated by the depth-inhabiting liquids, and missing half of its body—though it was revealed to his eyes not to be human by the snout it possessed. 

"A lacyrie…? It's…half-eaten?" Samfrey said, plugging his nose as he looked at the desecrated corpse. 

"Eaten?" Memo repeated, "what would be eating a lacyrie?"

"I believe you answered your own question," Calytrix added. 

Her words led to a disgusting, but likely conclusion to the fate of the bloated, half-consumed lacyrie. 

"...So, they're cannibals, too?" Samfrey muttered out in disgust. 

"It is believable," Archard said.
