Parasitic Spores, Controlling Monsters?

Due to the dungeon's lack of ventilation, the putrid stench of the decaying corpse was unbearably intense.

John frowned and opened a bottle of [Healing Potion].

He then activated his skill [Potion Vaporization].

The vaporized potion drifted out, and using the [Mind Magic Ring], John manipulated the mist to swirl in front of him, dispersing the rotten smell of the corpse.

John stepped forward, lowering the oil lamp in his hand.

A swarm of black carrion beetles, startled by the light, scurried away, allowing John to see that it was a humanoid corpse.

Covered in coarse hemp cloth, it looked like a farmer from another world, its body highly decomposed, swelling and oozing a thick liquid.

John estimated that the body had been dead and undergoing decomposition for about three to four days.

What caught his attention was a thin layer of white frost clinging to the corpse.
