"Withering" Corruption Sample

Something is glowing faintly in the ruins of an abandoned safe point... Seems to be something valuable here!
After all, this was once a resting place for scholars. Perhaps there's unpublished research here waiting to be found!

Dig up the rubble
The withered flower lies quietly beneath the ruins...
This is a "Withering" corruption sample.
It seems that this place was once attacked by Ethereals.
As you hold the sample in your hands, you can't help but wonder...
Whether or not the scholars and investigators who rested here back then managed to escape the attack...

Fairy: "Master, an abnormally heavy 'withering' corruption sample lies ahead."

Even though you didn't come through unscathed, you still managed to obtain the "withering" corruption sample.
At the very core of this sample is a large, completely deformed metal object, but it appears to be man-made...
Seems as if... an unfortunate soul was devoured by the Ethereals.

"Withering" Corruption Sample

Up ahead, a researcher throws something away before leaving.
Since it's a researcher... what if it's something potentially useful? Let's go see!
You walk up wide-eyed and peer around, but can't seem to see anything special...
Fairy: "Master: The toe on your right foot has stepped on a sample of Withering Corruption. You might not be able to feel it right now, but it is a precious sample. Please can you raise your esteemed foot?"
Sure enough, there's a tiny sample of corruption under your foot... But this sample is so small. It's like a tiny fragment that fell off an Ethereal's body...
Looks like the guy who ran into that Ethereal had almost no attack power. Hopefully, they were at least a fast runner...

Fairy: "Master: This is a strangely-shaped sample of Withering corruption."
Fairy: "Analyses show this crystal was carved out of an Ethereal, causing it to take this shape."
Fairy: "It carries with it a painful past. If you want to take it away, I suggest you show it the appropriate respect!"
