Chapter 109 - Cannibals?

The man wearing the suit, almost appeared similar to a human statue, instead of a living flesh and blood human, as he sat on that bundle of grass that was being used as a chair. Which always made those walking by them take multiple glances at him, in confusion, as they walked by, before looking away, after realizing that his statue-like appearance may be an illusion.

The other man, sitting on the left of the lady was strangely only wearing blue, worn out shorts, with tiny holes and rips all over it. His torso was completely naked, and free of clothing. He had a serious look on his slightly ugly face, but the aura emanating from his body was that of carefree relaxation, as if he was currently sitting at his own private estate, and not in a foreign world filled with danger. Unlike the lady, he was slightly chubby, with few signs of muscles on his naked torso, as if he had never worked a day in his life. 

The most striking trait of this man, was that hidden within the carefree aura emanating from his body, was an aura of dominance, regality and power. This strange aura made the man give out the illusion of an emperor, sitting relaxingly on his throne, as he sat on the red bundle of grass. Even the occasional passerby would unknowingly nod their heads at him in respect, as if they were walking by a great emperor, as they walked by the trio.

Other than the fact that the three people sitting on the chair looked like foreigners, as they were the only ones around them that wore linen-like fabric, instead of clothing made out of bundles of red grass, they really wouldn't stand out much within a crowd of people, as the aura emanating from them was barely noticeable by most people, and was often disregarded by them as nothing noteworthy, or a mere illusion.

As the three sat facing each other in front of the cone-shaped grass building, with the morning sun glaring down at them, the woman opened her mouth and said with eyes of confusion. "This strange world that we were sent to, keeps getting stranger by the day. We came here as heroes of the Asire Kingdom in order to stop the forces of the corpse race, but why do I feel like this city is stranger than the corpse race itself? Jaiym, Rufut, help me out here. Why do I feel like the people living within this city are cannibals?"

After speaking, feeling anxious she couldn't help but look at her feet that were surrounded by purple and red grasses, and stare at the grasses with intense scrutiny. Looking at the purple grass for a couple of seconds, she couldn't help but realize that it may not be grass that she was looking at, but some unknown fungus species that seemed to grow in the shape of grass. She could even see traces of tiny purple spores being released into the air that seemed to absorb the carbon dioxide that she breathed out into the air.
