章 76: 76: The collapsing ground [pt1]

Once the undead had been immobilized, only then did Elysia brave to have a close look at what they were. They looked vaguely human but no human would have been able to move a whole being that dry.

Magic or no magic, their bones would have given in way before that. So it could only be a curse that was keeping them going.

"Did you find anything by observing these dead bodies? Anything we can use?"

"No. I cannot tell what these things are but they don't have any body organ inside them. They are like a husk that looks like a human, walks like a human but is not human."

The arm in Elysia's grip broke into the sand as soon as she applied even a little bit of pressure. It now made sense how or why this thing had been able to move.

"But how is that even possible? There is a lack of magic in this world. How can the curse even sustain itself for this long? Even the trees have withered away."
