After an earful, my stomach was full, from getting lectured upon as well as got a momentary relaxation.
I know listening is not much fun until something comes fierce and continuous. The Fungi we are headed to us not gonna make me wait and us all time to relax.
I wonder what is it all about? Let's go then, my next move was nothing more special but moving towards the forest, I noticed that literally all trees are black, or more like written by system,
[Contaminated Forest]
The next thing I saw when [Observe] the tree, it showed
[Poison Level B]
[Able to kill someone under 5 hours if touched]
[Poison Level B↑ B+]
[Able to kill someone under 2 hours if inhaled or smoked]
The rapid increase may not seem vast, but the apocalypse itself started not too long ago and still if a day is not finished and it's growth continuously increase, it may reach S soon.
The best thing is to kill it, but burning can't be an option after reading that kind of description. The forest was already creepy enough to give vibes of the horror and thriller novels I've read. Like any second I will encounter a dead body burried or lied around here.
After a short walk forward, the strange and absolute foul stench filled the air, even the kids were having a hard time, I mean Kora and Heathen.
They were seriously looking pale, coincidentally I checked temprature with my hand and he was boiling hot. We asked Heathen the reason for the spirit being pale and she said,
[Any damage or status ailment done to the summoner is inflicted upon its parmanent summon]
[Summoner: Kora]
[Summon: Skeleton {Variations upon level}]
[Parmanent Summon: Spirit Of Dead [Parmanent Summons can't be removed without consent of both summon and summoner or until the summon or summoner dies]
This was meaning to the ailment getting Kora and Heathen sick. I also felt a foul scent and it was from a distance I couldn't notice, right side 2m distance a corpse covered in some kind of small things like bugs or more like fungus.
This fungi was growing on his dead body as if eating it all and after a few moments I noticed that the person was alive, but impossible to save at the least.
The Fungi was moving like a ghost among the trees, everywhere, seeing us, from behind, above and also inside.
I was sure that this is gonna be the worst thing a person can through, fungi eating it while person is alive feeling itself being eaten away.
I felt pity on the person and as we moved on, the infection grew stronger. I guess growth is saving me by continuously increasing my immunity for fighting to the fungi and other infection.
I reached a long way, I tried to treat the kids but I don't know how to deal with this. I suppose we could first kill that Fungi thing and then only can I do things right.
I saw a barren land, completely nothing growing and noticed that the symptoms of children were the worst here as Kora was vomiting blood and Heathen was feeling suffocated.
Well I wonder why spirits suffocate but now is not the time to think of that. Sam also collapsed as I saw and a strange voice in the air like wind was saying it to me,
' Something delicious has come on its way, I want to grow more, so pleaseeee
Give me your body'
I was abruptly taken aback as I went through the soil and a window popped in red,
[You have been infected]
