"We have to think of a way, or we'll all die!" A strong, muscular middle-aged man, wielding a two-handed sword with incredible speed, shouted. He was dressed in light leather armor, resembling a mercenary, and his body faintly emitted Dou Qi, suggesting he was close to becoming One-Star Warrior. With his sword flashing, he slashed down two zombies that were about to climb the hill.
"We need to break out as quickly as possible, otherwise, in a few minutes, more and more zombies and monsters will surround us, and we'll all die!" a voluptuous woman shouted angrily.
She was dressed in a tight-fitting short-sleeved outfit, wielding two sharp short daggers with lightning speed, clearly taking an agile approach. Each swing pierced the head of a zombie, demonstrating her rich combat experience. Although not as fierce as the burly man wielding a two-handed sword, she killed more enemies and was faster at killing them.
At this moment, the two injured young men had been helped to the middle of the rocky hill, their faces filled with despair. They were not far from death. One of them shouted for his companion to give him a quick death. No one wanted to become a monster zombie, with their soul controlled and never find peace. The other was trembling with fear, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"It's all those two damn little girls' fault, Anna. I told you I shouldn't have brought them along; they're just a burden. Now look what happened! If those two disobedient little brats hadn't been crying and insisting on finding some damn brother, we wouldn't have alerted the nearby zombie horde."
During the battle, a pale-faced, half-baked young mage, holding a cheap black magic staff, stood at the back of the crowd. It took him a long time to raise his hand and unleash a wind blade. He spoke with extreme dissatisfaction.
"What time is it? Stop complaining to each other." The burly man wielding a two-handed sword scolded with displeasure.
To be honest, this pretty-boy mage was the real burden on the team. At first, everyone thought that having a mage would bring safety to the team, but who knew that this guy was just a half-baked coward. He was afraid of death and would always slack off in battles, never going all out. But when it came to distributing food and supplies, he liked to take more than his share. Moreover, he was mean and sarcastic, liked to find fault with others, and had a strange sense of superiority as a mage. In terms of combat strength, he was no match for those ordinary young men who were physically stronger.
"Alright, Mono, if you think they're a burden, you can leave." The curvaceous woman named Anna, the temporary leader of the group, was clearly also dissatisfied with Mono, the mage who habitually slacked off. With a backhand stab, she pierced the head of a zombie, tossed her long brown ponytail, and turned back, coldly declaring, "I've said it before, I will rescue any survivor I encounter, because they all have the blood of Alania flowing in their veins, and these two little girls are no exception."
"That sounds nice, but how am I supposed to leave now...?"
The young magician Mono was clearly wary of Anna and dared not object loudly, muttering under his breath.
He wasn't going to be foolish enough to exhaust himself like the idiot in front of him. Instead, he started to slack off again, quietly accumulating strength. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he secretly opened the only magical item he had on him—a scroll for the [ Levitation Spell ] spell. Wisps of azure light spread from the scroll, climbing onto the young mage's body, and his feet slowly began to float...
"Fire the wind blades... Huh? What the hell are you doing, Mono?" The burly mercenary waited for ages but the mage's wind blade support never came. Turning around, he saw this scene, paused for a moment, then couldn't help but curse, "Are you deserting? Coward? You even took everyone's food..."
It turned out that after activating the wind blade, this cowardly mage secretly took all the food and water that the entire team had accumulated. In the blink of an eye, under the effect of [ Levitation Spell ], his body had already floated to a height of more than ten meters above the ground.
"Hahaha, since you pathetic worms aren't going to survive anyway, why not give me this food and water..." The young mage's face was already somewhat ferocious; at this moment, he was desperate and made a desperate decision, roaring loudly.
"Coward!"
"Scum!"
"Coward!"
This scene enraged everyone in the team, who began to curse. The feeling of being betrayed by their comrades, coupled with the oppression of countless monsters around them, caused despair to begin to grow in their hearts. Their coordination faltered repeatedly, and two more people were scratched by zombies. Even the voluptuous female captain, Anna, had a bloody gash on her thigh.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the swarming zombies finally rushed up the stone hill.
In the distance, several streaks of Black Lightning flashed through the zombie horde. Those were a few mutated beasts, who finally couldn't resist making their move. These mutated beasts possessed some low-level intelligence compared to the zombies, retaining their animalistic instincts. They knew how to seize opportunities and understood that if they didn't act soon, this 'fat piece of meat' would be devoured by the lower-level zombies.
"It's over, we're finished!" Even the muscular mercenary was filled with despair. With the current fighting strength of this squad, they were already in a hopeless situation.
In the middle of the crowd, two blonde little girls were terrified, crying and calling out the name ' Leo '.
In the sky, the mage Mono had risen to more than twenty meters, a completely safe height where he no longer needed to worry about the zombies and mutated monsters below. Looking at the figures struggling below, he suddenly felt a surge of excitement, a strange sense of pleasure.
Suddenly, the zombie horde in the distance stirred, making an unexpected and strange noise.
The magician looked up, and his expression suddenly froze.
He was more than twenty meters in the air, so he could see it most clearly. About a thousand meters away, a very elegant and graceful white figure appeared out of nowhere, moving forward in the zombie horde as if strolling in a garden. Strange pentagrams flashed around the white figure's feet. With each rhythmic flash of the pentagrams, which seemed slow but were actually fast, the mutated monsters and zombies around him fell to the ground, like wheat falling in swathes under a farmer's sickle.
This white figure appeared to be walking slowly, but in just a few blinks of an eye, it covered a distance of over 500 meters. The tidal wave of zombies and mutated monsters could not hinder its progress in the slightest, making it seem like a god walking among mortals.
The magician watched until his mouth went dry, utterly awestruck.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone walk so easily through Undead Frenzy. Could it be that this mysterious man in white had actually reached the legendary Moon Class strength?
Only when they got closer did the magician see that behind the white-clad figure was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in tattered clothes and wearing oversized deerskin boots, looking somewhat comical. The five-pointed star flames flickering beneath the white-clad figure's feet did not harm the boy; the little guy seemed to be enveloped and propelled forward by a powerful force, able to keep up with the white-clad figure's strange speed.
In the blink of an eye, this strange pair had arrived at the foot of the rocky hill.
At this moment, the surviving squad of Alania people on the hill, who had been in despair, finally understood what had happened. They stared wide-eyed at the god-like figure in white before them. Before them was a young man of only about twenty years old, handsome and refined, exuding an aura of authority, yet the faint smile at the corner of his mouth gave him an extremely approachable feel. Two completely different qualities were perfectly blended and embodied in this young man in white.
