Henry was raised by his uncle.

Because his uncle 'Chester' was a healer, and he deliberately taught Henry a lot about herbs and diseases since he was a child, so Henry naturally became a healer as an adult.

Henry followed Chester's help to see people, and learned many miscellaneous knowledge, such as the identification of diseases, the distinction of herbs and plants, the extraction and preparation of various medicines, the sixteen methods of safe bloodletting, and the breeding of leeches, and finally inherited Chester's mantle and became a healer with outstanding medical skills.

He never returned to his hometown and lived with his uncle Chester in the small town of 'Emsel'. The events of his childhood have been buried in the deepest part of his heart and forgotten over time.

When Henry was 23 years old, an extremely terrible plague suddenly broke out in a certain area in the southern part of the griffon kingdom. By the time Henry and his uncle learned of this information, hundreds of thousands of people had died from the plague in the griffon kingdom, and the number of deaths was increasing wildly every day.

The fatality rate of that terrible plague was extremely high, and the survivors of the infection were very small.

The griffon kingdom has turned to the Magic Society, as well as the human kingdoms and city-states, for help, hoping that experienced and specially formulated healers can come together to discuss a solution to the plague.

Henry's uncle, Chester, also went, sailed from the Coral Sea to the southern part of the griffon kingdom, but never returned. All that came back was a letter from the Griffon Kingdom explaining the situation and a large bag of gold coins.

The letterhead says that Chester accidentally contracted the plague while studying it, and died on the fifth day of the infection. The letter also included a tribute from the royal family of the Griffon Kingdom to Chester's enthusiastic actions, as well as apologies and regrets for his family, and a tactful explanation of the amount of gold coins, hoping to bring a small compensation.

At that time, Henry held the letter and a large bag of gold coins in his hand, and felt a strong sense of loss in his heart. He suddenly found that this feeling of losing something was inexplicably familiar.

After this, the inhabitants of 'Emsel' had to seek medical treatment from Henry. The residents went from being distrustful at first to appreciating it, and Henry's reputation gradually spread around him.

Although his personality is a little withdrawn, everyone doesn't care about it. This is normal, capable people have a somewhat eccentric personality, just like mages.

If that hadn't happened, Henry might have been a respected healer like his uncle all his life. But what happened when he was 26 years old changed his whole life.

In other words, his life has completely changed as early as childhood.

It was a late autumn day, and a dying woman was carried by the guards to Henry's infirmary. According to the guards' speculation, it seems that she intends to pass through 'Emsel' to go somewhere else, but unfortunately encounters several robbers on the way.

When the woman was carried to Henry, Henry knew she was hopeless. As he expected, the woman quickly closed her eyes and lost her heartbeat or breathing.

The town's guards wanted to keep the woman's body in Henry's infirmary and have her family come and claim it after they found out who she was.

Henry nodded in agreement as usual. In the past, there were many corpses waiting to be cremated in the hospital. The corpses were placed in separate compartments, and special herbs evaporated in the air of the chambers, briefly delaying the corpse's decomposition.

The next day, the guards sent fast horses to the surrounding towns and villages, but they had not yet inquired about the situation.

That night, Henry finished adding volatile herbs to the chamber to suppress decay before preparing to leave. Before he left, he accidentally saw the female corpse, and suddenly noticed that she was dressed a little familiarly.

A pink yarkester hat with a scarf, and a cotton gray one-piece dress with wavy stripes. The upper body of the long skirt was a little messy, not only was it stained with a lot of mud, but the shoulder strap on one side also fell down.

Henry withdrew the foot that had already stepped out of the cubicle, and an inexplicable emotion drove him towards the woman. He came to her side, reached out to pull her shoulder straps up, and reached out to wipe some of the dirt from her face.

Immediately after, the inexplicable emotion drove his palm downward, dusting off a small piece of mud from the woman's neck, and then, the palm continued downward, finally touching the familiar coldness and softness.

The next moment, the memory that was buried in the deepest part of my heart was suddenly opened, and the vague scene that had been gradually forgotten became completely clear at this moment.

The strange movements of the man and the woman kept coming to Henry's mind, and the inexplicable emotions in his heart kept swelling and expanding. Eventually, driven by this irrepressible emotion, Henry reached for the hem of the woman's clothes.

......

The woman's body was claimed by her family on the ninth day. Instead of bringing her back to her hometown, her family chose to be cremated on the spot near the town.

Henry was also present at the funeral, and as he watched the woman's body slowly dissolve to ashes in the flames, the feeling of losing something haunted him again, making him feel extremely irritated and disgusted.

After this, whenever the body of a woman of the right age was stored in the compartment, Henry would feel an inexplicable happiness and peace of mind. But after all, there are a few such times, and the mainland has been peaceful for a long time, and there are not always young women who die mysteriously.

Gradually, Henry became more and more dissatisfied, and he began to try to prescribe some not-so-correct herbs to women who were a little sick but did not affect their lives.

And even that didn't ease his increasingly distorted nature and thirsty desires. Eventually, Henry began to take the initiative, using the guise of healing, to find prey that would satisfy him in the town and its surrounding cities.

This situation lasted for almost three years, and more than a hundred women died at his hands. Although Henry was able to use his expertise to disguise each incident as if it were an accidental sudden illness, without causing much commotion. But as the death toll mounts, there is a growing sense that something is wrong.

Eventually, a nobleman who had lost his daughter and spent a lot of money entrusting a large number of adventurers finally set his sights on Henry......

Henry, the demon corpse, stuck his clawed tongue into the air, searching for the breath of the prey around him like a snake letter. The cold corpse is its favorite, and the little consciousness that remains within the fire of its soul is eager for endless killing and devouring.

Suddenly, the demon corpse turned its head to look into the darkness in the distance. In that direction, an icy aura came to my face.

Immediately afterward, Henry discovered that the cold aura was so strong that it was countless times colder than what had happened one day in its childhood.

The Demon Soul Corpse quickly judged that it was not a target it could hunt. It turned and fled quickly, but the icy aura followed it and got closer.

When it turned its head to look behind it, it spotted a tall nightmare beast burning with green fireflies, breaking through the solid darkness around it and suddenly appearing in front of it.
