Chapter 253 - The Ark Of Bas.e.m.e.nts (1/2)

”A place to store dead bodies. They are usually large rooms with metal boxes all around the walls. Like drawers in the wall. Bodies are being preserved there for further studying or identifying causes of death. Very cold in there, so humans don't linger there for long,” explained Bryan.

”You are correct, those two had large bas.e.m.e.nts as well. To house the ones who fully became Husks,” said Ysabeau.

”Why did you keep them? You could have easily killed them off?” asked Gab, scratching his head.

”Bas.e.m.e.nts, otherwise known as dumping grounds. You cannot deny this. High Queen. You housed the damned since you can't kill them. What a way to send them off,” scoffed Bryan with clear disgust in his voice.

”They could only be killed Valkyrian Light. We had no way to turn them back. Or any way to kill them.”

”Don't lie to us!” yelled Bryan, shocking everyone.

”The Husks can be killed by other Elements. It just needs to be more powerful. Only the pure-blood Husks are impossible to kill. The Human Husks are nothing. Don't you dare lie to them! Why did you house the Human Husks in the first place?!” shouted Bryan, angrily.

Mavislin was shocked, the Slayer was right. When they had to fight the Husks in the village, Ashley and Bryan did not use any Valkyrie power at all. Yet, they'd manage to take down the converted horde.

Thus, this begs the question. Why was the Congregation housing the Human Husks? Ysabeau silence terrified Mavislin while angering Bryan.

Had Mavislin not hold him back, the Slayer would have nearly punched her right in the face. And that might just spark a brawl.

”I'm sure she has an explanation! Calm that hot head of yours before you do anything rash!” commanded Mavislin.

”The Congregation took p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in experimenting with Humans Husks. There was an abundance of it, am I right?” asked Gab, who had been quiet the whole time.

Ysabeau nodded slowly, unable to hide the truth anymore.
