What reason did he have to fail at these tasks?
"Thank you, brother..."
The pale-faced cat-eared girl trembled as she reached out.
But she couldn't grasp anything.
Lien wanted to climb down further.
At that moment, the girl's face revealed a ghastly pale smile, and the strength in her hands grew weaker.
Whoosh!
The pit, formed from fungal flesh, pulsed as if feeding, opening a large maw intending to completely swallow her.
It seemed these things were connected to something, but Lien couldn't find their source. It was as if they had suddenly grown in this slum starting yesterday.
Many had already died.
"Ah!"
With all his strength, at the last moment, Lien pulled her up.
But only then did he realize that the girl had only her upper body left.
Her lower body, starting from the thighs, had turned into bloodless white bones.
He held the dying cat-eared girl in his arms, stunned.
I didn't manage to do anything.
Behind the dog-eared youth, a mocking voice arose.
