Chapter 97: He's not human (1)!
Bush and grass rustle in the middle of the night, as the bland light of moonlight illuminated the canopy above.
On the other side of the cemetery, two silhouettes of humans rushingly and panicly exited the forest beyond...
As if they were escaping from something...
Bloodied or to be exact covered in light injuries, the two humans' pale faces scanned their back warily, afraid that the thing they escaped to managed to tail them.
"Huff~ Thankfully."
Soon, after 5 minutes of constantly being in a state of tension, the two humans heave a sigh of relief, noticing that the beasts didn't chase them further.
Huff.
Sitting down on the ground in exhaustion, the two men catch their breath as they scan the surrounding environment instinctively.
"This... Cemetery?"
One of the men grasps his wounded shoulder as he stares at the tomb meters away from him solemnly.
Couldn't remember this place a bit from his memory.
"We probably got lost or unconsciously changed our direction when the beast chased us earlier."
The other man said, taking a water bottle from his inventory before gulping it down unbothered...
...
This is strange.
The strange smell of the grave in addition to the cold temperature brought by the night lingered through the atmosphere as it silently wafted toward their senses, causing them to feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, with the darkness shrouding the entire place, they couldn't help but feel extra strange.
Although they have abilities and senses above normal humans, they still couldn't completely pry nor see through the darkness... Only allowing them to clearly see 5 meters away from them.
"This place feels off, we should try to find humans and ask for the direction of the town!"
The man, after finishing the bottle of water, immediately stood up as he planned to advance deep into the cemetery in hopes of finding a human.
Not giving the other man a chance to complain, the man moved forward, above the niches... Unbothered to respect the dead.
...
"Gulped... That was amazing!" Leo patted his belly in satisfaction.
Looking at the silver skeleton dancing/playing around the fire strangely before looking at the white rabbit in the distance...
...
The loud sound of horrified cries with a mix of angry shouts reverberates within the serene cemetery... Breaking the silence in the land of death.
"Who is that?" Surprised, Leo looked at where the sound originated, not expecting that there would be people in this cemetery at this time.
Ding!

...
Not even glancing at the notification that suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes, Leo immediately rushed toward the origin of the sound. Behind him, the two silver skeletons curiously tagged along...
...
"What happened!?" The man above the pit worriedly asks upon hearing the loud horrified shout below...
Glancing below the man couldn't help but feel anxious. Unknowingly, the gray fog filled the pit, causing him to only see the silhouette of his friend... Not moving a bit...
As if he lost his consciousness.
F*ck!
The man above cursed under his breath. Firming his heart, he carefully moved toward the pit as he planned to check the condition of his friend.
Crack, thud!
The sound of a cracking bone entered his senses as he accidentally stepped on the skeleton below. Under his weight, some of the wriggling maggots became paste of meat, causing the smell in the atmosphere to become much more unbearable...
"Cough, what the h*ck!" He covered his nose as he tried to wake his wounded friend.
Unfortunately, probably due to his injuries, even after shaking his body violently he still didn't wake up.
"F*ck this luck! This day is really unlucky for us!"
He cursed as he carried the unconscious body of his friend on his back. Looking above, bending his knees as he planned to jump up...
When suddenly the man paused in his tracks as his eyes constricted greatly upon seeing the thing above the pit...
Staring at their figure calmly as its body was covered with fog...
