A brief silence fell.
Raven's feet were exposed to the air. Clouds of dark brown smoke filled with skulls could vaguely be seen spreading across the entire square like plague gas.
They drifted through the air, thick as fermented swamp gas.
Everyone stared blankly.
"Th-this is..."
The mist rolled toward them.
Buzz-
The eyes of everyone who smelled it instantly went blank.
The next moment.
(ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)-
(ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)-
Blargh-
Blargh-
Not a single person in the square escaped. Their faces turned purple, and with a sudden retch, they all threw up last night's dinner.
"Quick! Run!"
"It's poisoned... he poisoned... his foot odor..."
A pale-faced young man (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪) foamed at the mouth, struggling to reach a trembling hand forward.
He collapsed with a thud.
A wisp of blue smoke rose from the back of his head.
At the sight, the townspeople farther back all retreated, their faces pale.
The mayor trembled as he took two steps back, but his nose finally brushed against the surging dark brown mist.
He sniffed.
In an instant.
Pffff-
A bellyful of last night's dinner blasted from his mouth like a high-pressure water cannon.
This smell...
This rich, fermented smell...
(((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))
No!
This was absolutely not a smell any human could withstand. It... it had already... exceeded the limits of humanity!
"You foolish children! Run!!"
At that moment, the mayor spun around and reached toward the townspeople behind him with a roar.
"The foot odor... is poisoned..."
But it was already too late. The billowing foot odor instantly engulfed his aged body.
(ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)-
"Mayor!!"
The townspeople at the back trembled as they watched their old mayor being swallowed up.
At last, they snapped out of it.
They turned with screams, scrambling and crawling away in terror.
"Are you kidding me?! This is foot odor?!"
