Chapter 121: The [Black-Eye Zombie]. (1/2)

”What?!” exclaimed Roan.

He failed to understand what had just happened.

He had just seen Garrett die soo abruptly in from of him.

They had started this journey together, but now, he was dead.

Looking at the blur, he saw the true face of it.

'Sure enough, it's a zombie,' Roan wryly smiled.

It was always going to be a zombie.

It was snowing. His shoe was torn, leaving his toes to face the treacherous cold.

Yet, he couldn't count the number of times he, along with the rest, had faced zombies, on this very day!

It was starting to become despairing, if not exceedingly despairing for some of them.

Their minds had already reached their limits and they failed to see hope.

Also, this zombie wasn't any normal zombie.

As it munched on Knight-Captain Garrett's head, its fully black eye gazed at them.

Its legs were curvier than normal, and its muscles there were more compact and firmer.

This would explain why it was able to overtake them. It had a physical mutation that enhanced its speed.

All in all, if speed was quantifiable, the zombie was faster than all of them combined!

Gavin sighed as he let the zombie enjoy its meal, 'It's obviously a [Black-Eye Zombie]...showing signs of intelligence just like the zombie lord. Plus, my guess is that its special ability influenced Garrett to stop.'

After evolution, [Black Eye Zombies] get a special ability.

An ability that can not be easily achieved by manipulating [Elemental Spirit Essence]. Most of the abilities were always strange and deadly in their own rights.

In his family records, some of the zombies had the ability to curse someone by shouting at the target. Some could negate [Spirit Essence]!

There were basically overpowered and progressed beyond one's imagination after each evolution.

Roan knew things were looking grim and once again smiled, ”This is certainly one way to die.”

Beside him were the others, who possessed enough experience to know that running was not an option.

Yet, they had fought continuous battles and were fully drained of [Spirit Essence]. If they pushed themselves further, they might enter the [State of Deficit].

This would certainly mark the end of their lives.

Knowing their situation, Jaya asked Roan, ”What do we do know?”

Unlike the others, she was very stubborn, probably the most stubborn.

She refused to accept death. She had to see her father again!

She had yet to see the full world, only hearing stories of it.

She, Nico, and Lola have not seen it all.

Contrary to what many might think, they have been cooped up all their lives.

This had made her harbor curiosity about the outside world. The world of different races. The world of legends.

She had just seen a small part of it. She refused to give up!

An intense light shone in her eye as she looked at Roan.

Seeing this, Roan smiled, ”Haha. I understand. We will fight!”

He continued, addressing all of them, ”We might die…...no, we will definitely die. But, we might as well make this zombie a handicap!”

He rallied the suicidal tendencies in his group as he began his transformation.

His wolf transformation didn't require [Spirit Essence]. All it needed was his will and a strong mind.

Although his mind was rickety right now, he could still cause some damage.
