NOVEL NEXT Chapter 204: Zombie Wave ( 5 )
"Go!" Shane exclaimed as he scanned the sky, confirming that there weren't any flying zombies in this Zombie Wave as well. He was actually a bit worried that once his pets flew into the sky, they would get swarmed by some Eagle Zombies or something similar.
Kuu!
Emberwing, his first pet from a Mysterious Egg, led the charge, its fiery plumage blazing like a comet as it swooped toward the first huge Spitter Zombie!
Then, It unleashed a torrent of flames from its beak, searing through the acidic mist that surrounded its target.
Blaze followed suit, its elemental form shifting and dancing like a living inferno. It weaved through the air, leaving trails of fire that licked at the Spitter Zombie's hideous form…
Shane had no idea whether these fire attacks would work against the huge Spitter Zombie, but he just wanted to keep those three busy until the pressure on their side was alleviated.
"Hang on…" Shane muttered. At this time, the huge Spitter Zombie that he was seeing was definitely not the Chief Spitter Zombie that they encountered before.
Chief Spitter Zombie had given him 100 Experience Points before and it was only a mid-tier zombie. If his guess was right, the one in front of them must be the high-tier version of that Zombie!
"Kyu!"
At this time, Frostbite also soared high above, its icy breath crystallizing the air into a blizzard of razor-sharp frost shards. It dove down upon the second huge Spitter Zombie, coating it in a sheath of ice that crackled and groaned under the strain.
Sylvan moved with a grace that showed its earthy nature. The Spriggan then summoned vines and roots from beneath the ground, entangling the legs of the third huge Spitter Zombie and halting its corrosive march.
To Shane's surprise, the vines that the Spriggan Summon took plenty of them before they got corroded!
Sparky darted through the chaos like a true lightning entity…
It unleashed bolts of electricity that crackled across the battlefield, striking each huge Spitter Zombie with pinpoint accuracy and leaving scorch marks where they hit!
Shane then realized that the lightning seemed much more effective against the huge Spitter Zombies!
"This is it…"
The battle raged on as Shane's Pets fought valiantly against their oversized adversaries.
Emberwing's flames met acid in explosive reactions; Blaze's fire elemental form danced around acidic projectiles; Frostbite's frost breath clashed with sizzling decay; Sylvan's vines strained against dissolving flesh; and Sparky's electric fury shocked and stunned them…
"Thalion! Take this!" Shane shouted to the Elven Warrior.
Thalion turned to Shane and saw a mysterious weapon… Without hesitation, Shane threw it and was easily caught by Thalion.
This weapon was none other than the Master-Grade Electric Shock Blade!
"Help my pets kill those three large Spitter Zombies!" Shane instructed…
Thalion didn't hesitate to agree as he moved forward to assist the pets.
Together, they were a symphony of elemental wrath!
The Spitter Zombies fought back with ferocity, but they were outmatched by the combined might of Shane's Pets and Thalion's sword skills!
With Thalion's current Spirit Points, he was able to use three Thunderous Strikes and one Surge of Power of the Electric Shock Blade!
[ Thunderous Strike: The blade releases a thunderous shockwave upon impact, stunning enemies in its vicinity and disrupting their movements. It has a +120% chance of causing electric damage.
Cost: 100 Spirit Points
Surge of Power: The Electric Shock Blade channels a surge of electricity into the wielder, boosting attack speed and damage output for a short duration. It has a +100% chance of increasing attack speed and damage.
Cost: 110 Spirit Points ]
As the battle reached its peak, Shane watched with pride as Emberwing delivered a final burst of flame that engulfed one Spitter Zombie entirely.
Blaze merged with Frostbite's icy assault to create a steam explosion that tore through another!
"You can do that?" Shane was shocked after seeing such a formidable combination attack.
Then, Sylvan's roots constricted with such force that they crushed the last Spitter Zombie's limbs, while Sparky's relentless electrical storm fried its neural pathways. Thalion followed it up with Electric Shock, killing it completely!
One by one, the huge Spitter Zombies fell until none remained standing. The ground was scorched as the three of them collapsed to the ground.
[ You have eliminated a Spitter Monster Zombie. ]
[ You have eliminated a Spitter Monster Zombie. ]
[ You have eliminated a Spitter Monster Zombie. ]
"I knew it!"
[ Emberwing has eliminated a Hunter Zombie. ]
[ Congratulations! You are the first to eliminate a Spitter Monster Zombie, a high-tier zombie! ]
[ Hint: Only the first elimination of each Mid-Tier and High-Tier zombie can provide special rewards! ]
[ You have obtained the following rewards: Spirit Breakthrough Potion x3, Greater Instant Experience Potions x2, Zombie Cores x80 ]
"Perfect timing!"
Shane exclaimed as he saw the reward… He felt that he was already about to level up over the past few days, and the appearance of the instant exp potions was just the perfect time!
Without hesitation, he quickly drank the two Potions!

In the meantime, as Bart took over the watchtower with his dual revolvers, Layla descended with purpose, her mind already weaving through the strategies she would employ.
Well, Shane arranged for her to be a temporary sentinel since her main position was on the frontlines.
Anyway, she unsheathed her six knives, each forged from the rare and radiant Starlight Silver by Blacksmith Leo…
"Beautiful…" She commented, seeing their edges gleaming with a light that seemed to pierce the darkness itself!
Joining Chaloem and the valiant members of the Eclipse Revenant at the rampart, Layla stood as a formidable ally.
With a deep breath, she reached out with her telekinetic powers, each knife lifting into the air and orbiting around her like celestial bodies.
The Zombie Wolves surged forward in a relentless tide, their eyes glowing with hunger and malice. But Layla was undeterred. With a flick of her fingers, she sent the knives slicing through the air, each one guided by her formidable will.
