Miasma

They were not far from the first signs of something having been terraformed by the intelligent beings. 

And by peering intently, both Kyle and Beatrice noticed that something was off.

Kyle had hoped that he could have an easy time figuring out more information about the Lahin Kingdom. 

Sadly, from the looks of it, the only thing that was easy for him seemed to be attracting trouble and challenges.

Scratching the back of his head, he tried to figure out what the reeking stench that permeated the air was. 

The stench was accompanied by a faint green vapor that was wafting through the air.

It tried to enter his body, but the moment he released some of his soul force, the green vapor was repelled.

The same happened to Beatrice, but in her case, it was owing to the mana she released.

Earlier, she had released spirit force because it was known as a good repellant to certain harmful substances to the body.
