These corpses were none other than past participants of Elder Zachary's inheritance trial. Although this was the first time that Whittaker has seen so many dead bodies and he was shocked at this scene, he managed to get a hold of himself and continued on his destination without a pause. 'There's no going back and the only way to get out of this place before death is to pass the trial. My mana is quickly running out and I would become one of them if I don't complete this trial, soon."
Once again, he realized how cruel and dangerous this world can be. Occasionally, his eyes would reflexively dart to the corpses, who came here as challengers just like him but now, they have become dried corpses seething with the essence of death. Also, the people who have died here were the source of the essence of death, and Whittaker understood that.
