As the black miasma spread, the temperature around the Royal Mausoleum seemed to drop gradually, and more rapidly as time went by.
A chilling sensation rose from deep within the hearts of the guardians of the mausoleum, causing one to shiver despite the lack of cold, this breath of air crawling and spreading as if it were alive, eroding everything around it, making all things wither and decay.
"Ah..."
The guards surrounding the mausoleum were the first to be affected by the black miasma, many of them falling into intense agony as their life force drained away madly.
Their once strong bodies withered away rapidly, eventually becoming like dried up corpses.
