I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse-Chapter 1424 High Zombies
The problem lay in what nature these creatures were. Were they a hard to counter race? Just like those suited dudes for example? Or were they something trivial and easy to crush, like the locusts and Silences?
When I recalled the Silences, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh. These dudes were considered the scariest forces any of my universe realm ever faced.
But now they were just like weed, easy to get crushed and didn't even pose a single threat against me.
I knew this was thanks to my early preparations for this quest and fifth quest in general. If not thanks to that, if not thanks to my class, if not for Silverlining, things would have ended up quite bad actually.
I steeled myself while waiting for the arrival of that new enemy. And in less than ten more minutes, the enemy finally appeared.
And when I saw them, I couldn't help but suck in a cold air of breath. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
What the heck were these creatures? They got giant bodies, ones that were covered up with naturally acquired shields.
These shields were irregular in shape, few were circular, others were diamond, and few were triangles and even squares in shape.
They came one on top of another as if they formed layers, and that gave these creatures a fierce look.
From the first glance, I could tell many similarities in these foes with zombies I fought back at Earth.
Were they a higher version of the zombies? Or locusts? Were they a hybrid race or what?
The early batches were formed of such giant shaped monsters which walked on six pairs of thick and strong limbs. Their heads were like an onion head, with hair rising up against the ground, moving around as if they were some sort of working radar or something.
After the early wave appeared, other smaller sized monsters appeared. These were walking on four limbs, had four others like arms holding weapons.
They were the same size as my Hectors and Bulltors, while their bodies were covered with smaller shields that looked like rude and ugly looking scales. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
They looked strong. And their heads still had hair rising up, moving in a regular way as if they were detecting something.
Both types got big elliptical eyes. In the giant king, these eyes were flashing in dangerous dark light, with five pairs of eyes spread all over the big head of theirs.
In the case of the other smaller kind, they got two pairs of elliptical eyes, shining in bright and frightening purple lights.
I called the first giant ones the black high zombies, and the other type I called the purple high zombies.
And even when the two kinds appeared, those holding drums didn't appear yet.
I didn't know how far they were, but it was clear they were not far from here.
The tactic of the enemy was easy to grasp. They'd use the huge black high zombies to act as tankers, while the smaller purple high zombies would act like the killers.
I had to say the two kinds of high zombies had many similarities with the real zombies and even locusts. They got pale skin that showed from the gaps in between their shields.
Even their movements, especially the giant black high zombies, were similar to the moves of the zombies and locusts.
But there was a very crucial and major difference between the zombies and high zombies. The former wouldn't walk in such regular lines, or hold themselves when seeing my lovely forces.
However the high zombies were acting as if they were a regular force or something. They looked sane enough to take formations, listen to orders, and suppress their natural desire to consume my forces.
I knew they got such an instinct as they kept drooling and letting their saliva out of their mouths just like when zombies meet any living creature.
"Tsk... This is going to be a little hard," I knew the sole weakness point of the zombies lay in their insanity. They couldn't take formations, follow up orders, or execute the simple tactics.
But these high zombies solved such weaknesses. And that turned them into quite deadly enemies to face.
"I have to test them first," as the enemy brought out such a new race to the board, it wasn't right to let my elite forces fight them head on.
It went without saying that the enemy already selected such a race as they could counter my elites here. Or else the enemy wouldn't generously give me such a grand army to kill.
"Stop them!" I moved my chariot and instantly created lots of shields to protect my forces. At the same time, I took out many warriors without stat points and asked them to go and test these folks out.
And the end result was something I didn't like.
The warriors couldn't do anything in regard to these enemies. The high zombies were like moving tanks, not suffering a single damage no matter how hard my forces attacked.
Their shields were dark brown in colour, not looking that sturdy. But for a reason, whenever they got attacked, their shields flashed with black light, and all the attacks got negated and deflected successfully without leaving a single scratch over the shields' surfaces.
And that wasn't all!
With their limbs, the giant black high zombies started to emit weird black fog out of them. And the next thing happened was for my forces to get stuck towards their limbs.
Suddenly many weird shaped and creepy looking mouths appeared all over these limbs, eating and swallowing my forces alive like they were nothing.
Not a single force got sucked and managed to break free. And seeing this scene made my scalp numb.
"Damn! They brought real trouble this time," I knew even if my geared forces got sucked, they'd end up swallowed and eaten without any exception.
These mouths were like bottomless pits, with a weird suction force and very sharp teeth that looked like they could devour anything in mere blinks.
