"What? Argh!!!"
It was too late by the time Hardy realized what had happened.
The emerald gas had reached his cheek just then, and his skin started to peel off as well, leaving bare scarlet tissue.
They soon melted off as well, leaving only charred bones.
"H-Help me…"
Hardy wanted to run, but his legs were caught in the green gas.
He dropped to the floor with an audible thud, and watched as his legs melted into black bones as well.
All he could do was scream, and in his desperation, he even reached out his only good hand toward Frank, yelling and begging, "Please, I don't wanna die! Help me, help me!!!"
However, Frank could not do anything and watched as half of Hardy's face melted off.
It was such an eerie sight that he felt the creeps, being as knowledgeable as he was.
At the same time, he started backward to avoid the green gas.
And in under ten seconds, Hardy was completely consumed by the green gas and reduced to charred bones scattered all over the floor.
However, Frank had no place to run either, as this was clearly Baba Yaga's trap.
Forget that the exit that was already sealed—somehow, the interior of the clinic was shrinking visibly as well.
"Shit, I've been had!"
Frank growled through his teeth—the Corpsedale members were really cunning, and he could not see through the emerald gas they used either.
And the potency was already frightening!
However, the wall simply refused to crack, even though the whole building seemed to rumble under Frank's punches.
"Hahaha…"
Baba Yaga's laughter turned even shriller, and as Frank was about to be consumed by the green gas, he growled defiantly, "Curses… To think that I would fall in such a place!"

Nonetheless, the interior of the clinic gradually turned silent, and time passed.
When night arrived and the skies were veiled by thin clouds, an agile figure dashed toward the clinic from a distance.
As the clouds parted, the moon's glow bared the ancient face of a woman, her diminutive frame standing in a distance as she stared at the front doors.
Her eyes were sharp, as if intent on seeing inside the clinic…
