Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2571  Contact

In the second-floor area of the mausoleum, a large number of Lickers blocked a narrow passageway.

The invading Hanu Empire's undead Bones of Radiance formed a line at the front, holding off the advance of the Licker swarm.

Behind them, the Dark Clan priests provided remote support.

The first to arrive here was the Hanu clan leader, Collete, who focused intently ahead, gathering an imprint with both hands in front of him.

A gray aura spread from Collete's feet.

Under the influence of the imprint, everything within the surrounding area was tainted by a cloud of black mist.

[Hint: The player has entered the area of corrosion. Under the effects of this domain, the player's defense ability is reduced by 70%, and life recovery effects are reduced by 50%.]

Fang Heng hid not far away, observing with a furrowed brow.

No wonder the zombie clones couldn't hold up.

The invaders also possessed a special domain effect.

This domain ability weakened health recovery and combined with the inherent HP reduction in the death realm, the recovery speed of the zombie clones was significantly diminished.

Even though the Lickers were still quite resilient compared to other creatures, they were beginning to show signs of fatigue and could not maintain their defense.

With a group of necromancer spells raining down from behind, the number of Lickers began to slowly dwindle.

Collete frowned tightly. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Corrosion was his specialty.

In the area affected by the corrosion effect, combined with his unique abilities, the enemies' defense had been lowered to a critical level.

This allowed them to be the first team to swiftly invade the lower regions.

Yet the resilience of the Lickers was terrifying.

Even weakened, they could still absorb considerable damage.

Many of the Bones of Radiance were falling in large numbers.

Trapped in the narrow confines of the mausoleum's maze, they were stuck outside and unable to leverage the full power of the mage team's concentrated fire.

"How long can you hold out?"

Collete felt increasingly anxious.

Within the Empress's mausoleum, their strength was significantly suppressed.

Moreover, they were likely to face death knights later, so he preferred to conserve energy and slowly wear down Fang Heng's Licker swarm.

"Chi, chi chi..."

Suddenly, Colette noticed a sound coming from the passage behind the Licker group.

He turned to face in the direction.

What was that?!

He looked ahead and saw small vines rapidly climbing along the ground and walls, emerging from behind the Licker swarm.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

The vines quickly covered and entangled the Bones of Radiance at the front of the team. Once they had wrapped around them, they suddenly exerted force, dragging the bones deep into the passage behind.

Colette immediately sensed something was wrong.

First the Lickers, and now these strange vine creatures.

This was trouble!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

As he contemplated, the rapidly spreading vines lunged toward him!

Colette brandished his gray dagger, slicing forward with haste.

Swish!

A gray arc of light flashed.

The vines that had been advancing toward him instantly turned to ash at the dagger's strike, losing vitality at a visible rate and wilting rapidly.

"There's definitely something wrong!"

Colette realized the situation was peculiar.

During his last exploration of the Empress's mausoleum thousands of years ago, he had never encountered Lickers or vine creatures.

Could this be related to the new intruders?

Colette, filled with uncertainty, suddenly sensed a feeling of being watched. He looked up toward the depths of the passage.

In the next moment, he was struck head-on by a psychic shock, plunging him into a brief state of unconsciousness!

This state didn't last long as Colette regained his senses, an intense spatial fluctuation erupted before him.

Whoosh!!!

A figure shot out from the space, emanating a holy light that caused Colette's pupils to constrict.

"Boom!!!"

The light exploded!

Colette was knocked backward by the impact of the great holy sword!

"Buzz...!"

The spreading Tier 2 holy ripples cleared away a large area of the Bones of Radiance surrounding them!

Fang Heng frowned slightly.

The invader was no pushover!

From their first exchange, he sensed that the opponent was at least as strong as a Tier 1 death knight.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

The mage legion behind Colette immediately unleashed a barrage of dark explosive projectiles, all locking onto Fang Heng for a frontal assault.

Fang Heng was ready. He raised a hand, and a blood screen unfolded before him!

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The densely packed dark explosives detonated against the blood screen, causing massive explosions.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

Amid the chaos, the vines on the ground surged forward, taking advantage of the moment to spread rapidly!

The second wave of Lickers also rushed out from behind the blood screen!

"Hmph..."

Collete, who had just been knocked back by a strike, smirked coldly as he quickly pushed himself up from the ground, his hands gathering energy in front of him to form an imprint.

"Bind!"

With a swift motion, a surge of energy erupted!

The aura of the death realm gathered around him, condensing into a roaring phantom of a dragon that charged through the narrow maze-like passage!

Fang Heng's expression hardened. He clenched his hand into a fist mid-air.

"Pierce!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The blood-red barrier before him suddenly sprouted numerous sharp spikes that lunged toward the incoming black fog dragon head!

The blood spike plunged fiercely into the shadow of the dragon's head!

"Roar!!!"

The dragon's head erupted in a fierce roar as the blood spikes struck, shattering into a cloud of black fog.

The explosion of black fog sent the advancing Lickers and vines flying backward, obscuring visibility.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Colette emerged from the cloud of black fog!

His body was shrouded in a layer of gray, and the surrounding vines quickly wilted under the influence of his gray domain!

"Whoosh!!!"

Colette slashed his dagger, colliding heavily with Fang Heng's great holy sword!

"Bang!!!"

At the point of impact, the great holy sword was covered in a layer of shadow.

What?!

Colette felt a surge of terrifying force rushing toward him, forcing him to lean backward uncontrollably. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the shadow on the sword, and a hint of astonishment crossed his mind.

Boom!!!

The Tier 2 holy ripple of the great holy sword activated, sending Colette flying once again!

As he adjusted his body and landed, he looked up to see that Fang Heng had already retreated into the shadows.

"No need to pursue."

Colette halted his companions, his gaze fixated on the depths shrouded in layers of entwined vines, his expression heavy.

The dagger of death he wielded was an ancestral artifact, capable of corroding weapons. Countless divine artifacts had perished at its touch.

Yet that great holy sword had been completely unaffected.

Moreover...

The power that the figure had just used seemed to originate from the Holy Realm.
