Beast Evolution System: Devourer of Heaven-Chapter 283: Zombies

Before any of them could react they heard guns blazing. " Zombies, zombies are attacking."

A soldier shouted from the top of the tall wall. All three ran up there, they saw the city being surrounded by an endless horde of zombies.

Ved frowned, " These aren’t the undead of the child of winter, they look like zombies from the old earth movies."

" Yeah but which one?" Naledi asked. They both turned and looked at Jonathan who shrugged.

" I..I don’t know, I watched a lot of zombie movies back then, they freaked me out but I loved them."

Ved sighed, " Guess we’ll have to figure it out ourselves." He looked at the horde and recognised the easily distinguishable ones like the clickers.

" Dealing with clickers shouldn’t be hard, while they were strong in the last of us, they can’t match the superhuman strength of a rank 3 vessel holder."

He grinned and jumped off the wall, Naledi followed him. " Stay up there." He shouted at Jonathan.

Bullets kept flying around him like rain, he landed on the ground and immediately pulled out his sword.

Flames ignited around the blade, he cut off the head of the first zombie, before the others could react 5 more heads flew.

Naledi landed next to him, her vessel were two hair pins, one white one black. A twin vessel.

She pulled them out and they floated around her. The black pin flew out piercing the heads of the zombies.

They dropped like flies, the two of them danced through the entire horde like shadowy blurs.

Thousands of zombies died in minutes, his sword ignited them in flames turning them to ash with every touch.

As the fight continued he started noticing a problem. The zombies didn’t seem to have an end.

They started getting faster and stronger. He turned and placed his sword Infront of him. A heavy force hit him sending him flying back like a ragdoll.

He spun mid air and landed on his feet. He looked at what attacked him, a massive zombie stood there with pulsing muscles.

" Orc." He clicked his tongue. " We were wrong, the undead walkers of the child of winter are part of this horde."

Naledi frowned when he said that. " That means..." She didn’t finish but they both understood.

That horde had tons of powerful beings as every dead creature with a body or bones came back to life.

There were multiple rank 5 undead, dealing with those would be impossible for their current selves.

With his new found strength and higher quality and quantity of dream mist, he can try to bypass the rules of the nightmare and restore parts of their strength.

However he didn’t know if that was possible or even how much strength he can actually restore.

The orc zombie lunged at him, each of it steps shook the ground. He held his sword with both hands and took a deep breath.

He wasn’t skilled in swordsmanship but he had created and used swords many times in his fights.

Plus he was certainly more skilled than a raging zombie. It stretched it hands to grab him.

He spun on the ground and slashed it tendons. Black blood poured out, before it could respond he jumped and stabbed it head.

The orc fell face flat, he landed on his knees and rolled forward, behind him he felt the wind howling.

He turned and saw what had just tried to attack him, it was a huge undead tiger, what he had just dodged was it claw.

The tiger attacked again intending to devour him whole in one bite. The flames on his sword blazed to the sky.

He stabbed forward, a jet of fire flew like a javelin into the tigers mouth. It ignited into flames and turned to ash in seconds.

Ved clasped the sword tighter, using a vessel felt strange yet simple. He knew it was a weapon yet it felt like an extension of himself.

A limb he could control with his mind like another arm. After dealing with the tiger he looked for Naledi intending to help her.

However he saw a white shield surrounding her like a bubble. One of the hair pins was floating around her creating the shield.

The black hair pin was still killing zombies like flies outside of the barrier. She looked even more relaxed than he was.

’ Comparing yourself to monsters suck.’ he thought with a bitter smile then jumped back into the fight.

The battle continued, more zombies died by their hands but each second that passed, the more powerful the zombies became.

He came across a second rank 3 zombie, this one was a human wielding a spear. The man attacked immediately.

Sharp winds covered his spear and body making him faster. Ved deflected the spear of the zombie. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Before it could adjust itself he stabbed his sword into it hearts setting it on flames. Then he jumped back dodging a white hand that landed where he stood.

The ground shook like there was an earthquake. When the dust cleared, a massive hand print appeared on the ground.

From the distance he saw a human? He wasn’t clear but that looked like a normal human carrying what looked like a firefly that shone with white light.

The human smiled at him, she looked beautiful even. ’ Is that a zombie? I thought this guy’s fears were zombies.’

He tried to think if there were any films or books that had zombies that looked like humans and were obviously intelligent.

He remembered a few, ’ Return of the living dead? No that’s not it.’ if he wasn’t mistaken, in return of the living dead the zombies still look like zombies just with intelligence.

’ Perhaps Warm bodies?’ no that one isn’t even a horror.’ he looked at Jonathan shaking with fear on top of the wall.

’ Yeah this idiot would probably still fear that zombie.’ he wracked his brain trying to figure it out then it dawned on him.

’ Return of the living dead? More plausible but no, I don’t believe that is it.’ he looked at this zombie.

Her smile grew wider then a terrifying aura blasted out of her shaking the entire sky. ’ Rank 4, fuck.’
