Chapter 125 – Zombie Apocalypse 2 (33)

No other zombies were spotted around, but looking at the map, there was only one being in the area where headless corpses were piled up.

Because there was almost no movement, it was hard to tell whether it was a zombie or not.

“Follow me quietly and slowly.”

“I understand.”

I turned off the lantern and approached the area with as little noise as possible.

I didn’t know it clearly when I looked at the picture, but should I say it was a large warehouse rather than an ordinary building?

I don’t know how many zombie corpses were collected, as it could be said that there were zombies piled up in that warehouse.

What else was done with the hair?

The entrance to the warehouse was open, so it would be difficult for Naeun to see, but I was able to see inside the warehouse as my eyesight was bright at night.

A woman was sitting on a pile of zombie corpses.

I couldn’t see her face clearly, but I could tell she was a woman by looking at her long hair and tattered clothes.

In order to know for sure, you can use skill link to detect presence, but consuming mental power did not seem to be a good choice.

I wanted to keep observing, but I thought that if I waited any longer, zombies might spawn nearby.

“I’ll be back.”

I quietly whispered to Naeun and kissed her cheek.

“Yes.”

I walked towards an unknown being holding a baseball bat and a spear.

In order to clearly demonstrate his full power, Isian’s assimilation rate was slowly increased.

As the assimilation rate increases, the feeling becomes fear.

Even though I had the power I gained through Yusian, my fear of the unknown grew.

However, fear is not the only thing that increases.

The savior was activated with the thought that Naeun must be protected.

Skill Link-Boost

Yeonyeom Shingong. Presence detection.

When the Savior effect is activated, the consumption of mental power due to skill link has been significantly reduced.

And I learned a little more about its existence.

Similar to an evolved zombie, but a different entity.

“Twisted death?”

The technique of identifying an opponent through heat was learned after dealing with synthetic zombies, so it was not clear.

Still, I think my guess is correct.

The woman who slowly came down from the pile of zombie corpses opened her mouth.

“Ahhhhh.”

When I heard that sound, the worry that it might be a human disappeared.

“Whoa…”

I took a deep breath as I placed the two spears I was holding in my left hand on the floor.

She spread her mana throughout her body and then tightly gripped her baseball bat with both hands.

Then the female zombie reached out her hand to the headless corpse nearby.

Tddudeudeudeuk

When the contaminated mana that the female zombie released through her fingertips touched the body of her headless corpse, her body twisted, and her skin fell off.

And her remaining pure white bones twisted and turned into a pure white sword.

A zombie with the ability to make weapons using corpses and bones?

It occurred to me that she was not something that could be defined as a zombie.

『Quest』

〈Be victorious over the being that fell from the tower.〉

-Upon completion: Strengthen survival rules (A+)

‘A being that fell from the tower?’

The quest was nice, but there were some unfamiliar words mixed in.

Anyway, all I have to do is defeat that thing, right?

Female zombies are from a different class, perhaps from above, so they were given the modifier “Fallen.”

【1】

【Lee Sian-(100%)+(EX 25%)】

【Level: 5】

【Combat power: 1030+110】

【Holding Skills: [Skill] Survival Rules (A+)】

【Quest in progress (8/9)】

However, now I have the power to be called level 5, a transcendent and a class climber.

So you can do it.

A female zombie ran towards me with an expressionless face holding a sword made of bone.

She moved quite quickly, but luckily she didn’t use footwork.

I simply distributed the power of my body perfectly and moved forward with maximum efficiency.

Through my calmness and insight, I was able to read the trajectory of the attack by utilizing the presence detection that was spread wide enough to reach Naeun.

A female zombie trying to cut me diagonally with a sharp sword.

After reading the gap, I quickly retreated to a distance where the tip of the sword would not touch my body.

Saaaaagh!

As soon as I heard the sound of the wind blowing, I bounced my body and went forward.

She strengthened her body by filling it with mana and swung the baseball bat in her hand.

Kaaaaang!

The female zombie quickly raised her white sword and blocked my attack.

Compared to the evolved zombies I had fought so far, who just blocked my attacks with their bodies, they moved much more like humans.

Didn’t Twist Death leave after using the power to create synthetic zombies in the first place?

He retrieved the baseball bat and attacked again.

Kang! Kaaaaang! Kang!

The female zombie blocked my attack using her sword with restrained movements.

I thought it would be impossible to win with Lee Sian’s power.

I’m not sure what kind of person he was when he was alive, but I thought he was an outstanding swordsman.

Not a martial arts figure who uses footwork, but a being in the hierarchy of Cyan Raven who uses aura.

That kind of being exists in a place called the Tower, right?

Kagagak!

As I was thinking a bit, a female zombie swung her sword, deflecting my attack rather than parrying it.

A sharp attack that would have cut her in the chest if she had not seen it.

He quickly backed away and avoided the attack by moving away from the female zombie.

And I checked the condition of the baseball bat through moonlight.

‘The quality of the weapons is definitely different.’

The baseball bat was fine no matter how many times I smashed the zombie’s head, but after hitting it with her bone sword a few times, it got dented a lot.

If that bone sword had been a little sharper, wouldn’t it have cut the baseball bat?

After using it for a while, I thought I might have to change my weapon to a spear.

And the female zombie moved first.

They stabbed me in the chest with their swords, but I thought I couldn’t use shadow armor to block them like the evolved zombies I met last time.

I twisted my body to avoid her attack and struck down her long, outstretched right arm to stab her.

Whoa, whoa!

With a loud sound, the trajectory of her sword broke, and she immediately spun around, swinging the baseball bat towards her head.

Pow!

Her attack, which was swung towards her head, was blocked with her left hand.

Is her physical ability also inferior to that of an evolved zombie and not comparable to a regular zombie?

“Whoa.”

I think I’ll have to slowly pour in attacks containing mana.

She pulled back slightly and caught her breath.

I took out all the air in my lungs and then filled them with new air, replenishing some mana.

And when I applied that mana to the baseball bat, blue mana flickered.

Kwasik

An ominous sound was heard from a dented baseball bat.

After allowing the blow, I swung with all my might while listening to the scream of the baseball bat, which was determined to break.

Kaaaaang!!!

Pagagak!

The female zombie fell back and swung her sword.

The baseball bat was cut in half when it hit the bone sword.

The female zombie lost sight of her sword and flew into a pile of zombie corpses.

I immediately lifted the iron spear off the ground and used presence detection to read the location of the female zombie.

“With this!”

This time, I put the mana in my body into the spear.

Blue mana began to shimmer on the iron spear, and she stabbed her spear with all her might at the female zombie in the pile of corpses.

And at that moment, the pile of zombie corpses began to change.

Tddudeudeudeudeuk!!!!!

Just like when I made the bone sword earlier, the flesh of the zombie corpses began to disappear, and then the bones began to stick together.

The female zombie was already covering herself with her bone shield.

Go go go go!!!

Wow!

The iron spear filled with mana hit her bone shield, and the female zombie was pushed back behind her.

‘Holy shit.’

“Sian! Zombies are coming!”

At that time, Naeun turned on the lantern and said.

When her presence detection range was expanded a little more, three zombies were running towards Naeun.

One is fine, but three is difficult for Naeun to deal with.

I couldn’t even test the skill through the skill link, but I ran towards Naeun, who was more important than that.

The tip of the iron spear that I had just used was completely worn down to the point where it could not be used, so I picked up the remaining iron spear that had fallen on the floor and ran to the entrance of the warehouse where Naeun was standing.

“Sian!”

Phew!

Naeun stabbed her spear into the head of the closest zombie running towards her.

And without giving me time to twist or recover, I swung the spear and stabbed the guy who attacked.

Thump!

In one fell swoop, she swung her spear at the zombie and the nearby guy.

Suddenly!

Using the blade of a spear, he cut off her neck cleanly.

Meanwhile, Naeun completely smashed the head of the guy he had stabbed.

“Ugh… What are you going to do with that? Sian, is there one weapon left? Two of mine, too?”

“I thought about fighting with my fists when I ran out of weapons, but I didn’t know they could make weapons.”

When I checked with her presence detection, the female zombie was approaching us with her bone sword and shield.

What should I do with that?

You can keep fighting, but if zombies keep coming towards Naeun, you won’t be able to concentrate and fight.

“Should I run away?”

“No. That’s more dangerous.”

There are no zombies in my presence detection circle right now, but once Naeun leaves, the effect of her savior will disappear.

When fighting something like that, the moment your indomitable will disappears, your mental strength will drain away.

“Then?”

“I’ll show you why I chose the night.”

“Did it really happen?”

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Yeonyeom Shingong.

Two skills are linked.

By linking Shadow Mastery and Flame Magic, I accepted the surrounding shadows into my body.

And with the shadow that appears, I use Yeomryun Fist Ilryun.

Since I’m holding a spear right now, I’m not going to punch it.

What I need is a ring of shadow to give strength to my weapon.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Flame wheel.

I linked the skills once again and changed the nature of the flame wheel.

Shadow Circle.

Three rings of shadow appeared before my eyes.

It looked similar to the Flame Ring and had the same method of use, but this ring of shadow contained a different power.

If the flame wheel amplifies the internal power, the shadow circle is the power that gives strength to weapons made of shadows.

“Ryaaaaap!”

Then, he used his whole body to throw the spear so that it could pass through the three rings and hit the female zombie.

When passing through the first ring, a shadow was cast over the window.

When it passed through the second ring, the shadow on the spear took on a sharp shape.

When it passed the third ring, the Spear of Shadow gained the power to pierce the target.

As soon as the female zombie saw the black spear, she placed her shield on the ground and locked both her feet with her ground.

An unbelievable roar erupted as the spear of shadow and the shield made of bone collided.

Kwahahah Ahhhhh !!!

Naeun was so shocked that she dropped her spear to cover her ears.

Using skill link continuously, even with the savior effect, seems like it would be too much, and my head hurts a lot.

Still, in order not to lose her mind, she clenched her molars and picked up the spear and lantern that Naeun had dropped on her floor.

As soon as the blue window appeared indicating the quest was completed, she said to Naeun.

“Let’s run away!”

“Huh? Where are you running to?!”

“Run now!”

Due to the loud noise, the zombies outside the supermarket’s patrol street began to flock like crazy.

We can go back to the mart, right?
