The terrifying screech reverberated across the underground chamber, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.
It was a screech that did not belong to the living. Nor did it belong to the dead.
But this was just the beginning. Several more screeches followed the first one, resulting in a cacophony of unbearable noises that threatened to burst open one's eardrums.
Rotten and withered arms reached out from inside the pool one by one. Soon, one zombie after another emerged from the pool. The common thing amongst these zombies was that all of them were women.
To be precise, they were the sacrifices that had once been offered to the devil known as Malzar, Lady of the Crimson Veil!
When the Duskfall couple, as well as the guests they had brought down to the chamber, laid eyes on these hundreds of zombies emerging from the bloody pool, their bodies trembled involuntarily.
