“Damn, this is really good…” She thought to herself, but didn’t had much time to appreciate her Status fully.
The first thing that Maria noticed when she ran outside of the dungeon was that the group of soldiers, knights, and adventurers around the dungeon was gone, all of them had ran away into the city, because in the middle of it, there was an enormous chaos going on! Civilians suddenly turned into monstrous creature resembling ghouls, and they were attacking those that had not transformed. They had suddenly attained great physical strength, but completely lost their minds. Meanwhile, the surviving knights and adventurers that were stationed here some time ago ran into the city to help.
“W-What the fuck is going on?!” Asked Maria in surprise, as she analyzed her surroundings with her Analysis ability within her System, quickly analysis the strange creatures crawling around, they seemed to be truly people some minutes ago.

[Ghoulish Wight (Human): Lv8] [Rank: C+]
A monstrous creature born from a normal human who transformed after consuming large quantities of miasma and other substances that mutated their body into a ghoulish being, low-quality vampire blood was also mixed within their narcotics, turning them into vampiric creatures. Their power can only awaken by the command of a high-ranking Vampire. And because they have gone berserk and lack intelligence, they can be easily controlled by them, indiscriminately attacking one another.
Some of their Skills include: [Insane Charge], [Berserk Mode], [Blood Edge], [Crazed Consumption]…

“This is bad!”
Maria quickly realized this was a terrible thing to be happening, and her mind moved faster than anyone else as she realized that this wasn’t something that happened out of nowhere, or a strange disease. These people ended turning like this through the drugs being given to certain citizens… all those drug addicts asking for money, or that sometimes lost their minds on the streets, which Julia was having such a hard time dealing with… all of them had suddenly turned into this!
The drugs were not just made of strange herbs or something, but made out of most likely the Fragments of Evil stolen from her family, and even vampire blood was mixed into it, making anyone that consumed these drugs into crazed monsters at the command of their superior vampire lords orders! Can they even be turned back?
“System, can they turn back?!” Maria asked her System, as it promptly answered.
[If another hour passes they won’t be able to turn back into normal humans, but as long as the culprit controlling them is defeated in time, they might be able to revert. I recommend using your Auras to inflict fear into their hearts, although they’re insane, if they detect you, they might black out of fear. Other alternative is using your Gorgon Eyes of Paralysis, or the Gorgon Eyes of Confusion, or using Phantasmal Clones to possess them and control them forcefully.]
“I get it, thanks!”
Maria quickly knew what to do now, as she quickly communicated everything to her friends, they were shocked to hear this as they flew back to the city, and immediately devised a plan. They decided to use Maria’s powers to incapacitate the crazed ghoulish people while Emeraldine healed the wounded and Lucifer and Partner aided them in anything they needed.
When they finally reached the city, the people was completely flabbergasted by an enormous mass of darkness emerging from the skies! Maria had decided to not show her true appearance to the people, instead using her [Plague Body] Skill to its fullest potential and turn herself into an enormous plague of phantasmal bugs!
Those that still had a bit of sanity in them quickly lost their minds as they saw the horror of her appearance…
