Episode 329

“Fuck! Your line is collapsing. Stop it now!”

“Get this ten ready!”

In a huge underground cavern, a woman was screaming like a madwoman and directing people.

The woman holding the blood-stained spear and screaming was none other than Eloi.

Hundreds of people were moving under her command.

Among them were Levin and his friends Aaron and Dominic.

Levin said to Aaron and Dominic.

“Get ready!”

“huh!”

“okay!”

Aaron and Dominic answered with stern expressions.

Their entire bodies were red with blood, and their faces had exhausted expressions. This was understandable, as they had been fighting without rest since falling underground.

Even now, they were surrounded by numerous enemies.

The enemies targeting them in the darkness were none other than the dead, the dead resurrected as zombies.

The types varied, from those who died a long time ago to those who died recently.

What’s even more horrifying is that many of the dead were their comrades.

The raid party that Aaron and Dominic had entered was also annihilated and turned into zombies.

The sight of those they had trusted and followed just a few days ago turning into zombies and attacking them left the two with terrible trauma.

I couldn’t even face the zombies that used to be my colleagues.

However, the reason they were able to endure and survive until now was thanks to Levin by their side.

If Levin hadn’t helped me and encouraged me, I wouldn’t have been able to make it this far.

Every time the two were in danger, Levin intervened and helped them, so they were barely able to save their lives.

There was no time for those two to rest.

Because there weren’t enough hands to stop the zombies that were coming in like waves.

“Fuck!”

“Let’s live and see.”

Leaving Levin behind, the two men jumped into the collapsing front line.

“I must survive.”

Levin looked at Aaron and Dominic fighting the zombies with bloodshot eyes.

He also wanted to fight alongside the two of them. But there was someone else he had to deal with.

Levin gritted his teeth and looked at the ceiling.

In the empty space, there were ghostly, translucent demons flying around.

‘Specter!’

It was a demon that had turned into a ghost like Levin.

The difference is that he was born without a physical form.

The Specter circled the sky like an eagle hunting for prey, targeting the Awakened.

The Awakened were too busy dealing with the zombies on the ground to pay attention to the Specters looming overhead.

Because of this, many people lost their lives to the Spectre, and the vicious cycle of the dead turning into zombies and attacking the Awakened continued.

If it had simply become a zombie, it wouldn’t have been that threatening.

The problem is that those who are resurrected as zombies use the abilities they had in life.

Although he wasn’t able to use his skills to their full potential as he was when he was alive, the mere fact that he was using his skills was threatening.

Levin’s mission was to keep Spectre in check.

The only one who could keep Specter in check here was Levin.

Swish!

The Specter, which had been circling in the air, approached the Awakened One’s head without a sound. The Awakened One, who had become the Specter’s target, was swinging his sword at the zombies without even knowing it.

Levin moved just before the Specter attacked the Awakened.

Levin, who had become a ghost, flew as fast as an electric current and collided with Specter.

Levin, who was hovering in the air entangled with Specter, emitted purple lightning.

Chijijik!

The purple lightning simply burned the Specter.

The Specter disappeared without even screaming. But Levin’s expression was not so bright.

There were still countless Specters in the air, and they were flying around to avoid Levin.

If you want to destroy the Spectre all at once, you need to use a strong skill, but if you do that, not only the Spectre but all your allies will be exposed to the lightning.

They had no choice but to hunt them one by one, as they could easily wipe out even our own troops.

While Levin was hunting the Specters, other Specters flew in, targeting the Awakened.

“Shit!”

Levin quickly moved to rescue the Awakened.

Drop!

By unleashing the thunderbolt, the Awakened were able to be saved in time. However, there were still many Specters left, and Levin’s work was not over.

“I have to hold out somehow until Brother Jeon comes.”

If it’s the Zeon he knows, he’ll definitely come to save him.

The key is to somehow hold out until then.

Levin looked at the Awakened ones struggling to keep the Specter in check.

The ranks were collapsing everywhere.

Every time Eloi jumped in and stopped the zombies. Thanks to that, the front line was still maintained, but it looked very precarious.

“Fuck! I think I’m going to die.”

“Hold on somehow. If you collapse, it’s all over.”

“Oh my god!”

“Eww!”

The desperate cries and shouts of the Awakened echoed everywhere.

It is a fight where you muster up all your strength.

This fierce fighting continued for several hours.

There were many casualties and deaths.

What’s really scary is that those who have been attacked by zombies or specters will come back to life as zombies and attack you again.

The weak-willed Awakened ones’ minds broke down when their comrades, who had been fighting and encouraging each other until just a moment ago, turned into zombies and attacked them.

“Ugh! Everyone’s going to die.”

“We have to run away!”

“Save me! I don’t want to be a zombie.”

As the disoriented Awakened ones fled, holes were ripped through the front lines.

“Fuck! What if I get out of here? Can’t I come back soon?”

“Watch a sword!”

“If you guys fall, we all die!”

The Awakened people who fought against the zombies shouted loudly, but it was no use.

The perforated wire was collapsing rapidly.

Eloi, who had become a blood man, gritted his teeth.

Because all the hard work I’ve put in so far has gone down the drain.

If things continue this way, the zombies will grow uncontrollably. The moment the power is reversed, the annihilation of the Awakened will be unavoidable.

Levin and himself will somehow survive, but everyone else will turn into zombies.

Those who have become zombies will wander around looking for another victim, attacking and annihilating the Awakened members of other groups.

“There are a whopping three thousand four hundred people. The people who came in here. If they all turn into zombies and attack Neo Seoul… … .”

Eloi’s face turned pale at the horrible thought.

Zombies never tire or stop.

They will wander the desert in search of the living, and eventually find Neo Seoul, where the largest number of people are gathered.

Neo Seoul has high walls so it will be able to somehow block the zombie attack, but the slums will be left defenseless.

If all the residents of the slums turned into zombies, even Neo Seoul would not be safe.

“What on earth is in here that turns corpses into zombies?”

Eloi looked around with bloodshot eyes, but couldn’t figure out the cause.

Eloi also became tired from running here and there.

“Haa! Haa!”

Now, I was out of breath and it was difficult to even take a single step.

It felt like I had a big iron hammer tied to my leg.

The zombie didn’t miss Eloi, who had become so dull.

Kwaaah!

The zombie that had been an Awakened being in the past opened its mouth wide and rushed at me.

It was much faster than a normal zombie and its movements were unpredictable, so Eloi had no time to react.

“Shit!”

Eloi shut his eyes tightly without realizing it.

Phew!

At that moment, a powerful roar erupted from the front, causing Eloi’s body to shake. However, she felt no pain.

When Eloi opened her eyes, she saw a zombie with its head missing.

The zombie floundered and then fell down.

“who?”

A smile appeared on Eloi’s face as he searched for the person who had saved him.

“Zeon!”

I saw some familiar faces beyond the crowd.

It was Zeon and his group who saved her in the moment of crisis.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

The dramatic appearance made her feel like she was going to cry at any moment. She tried hard to hold back her tears and shouted loudly.

“Reinforcements are here. Cheer up, everyone.”

Her screams were heard in every corner.

“Wow!”

“They are support troops.”

“Hold on a little longer!”

Those who had been holding on as if they would collapse at any moment shouted with renewed courage when they heard that reinforcements had arrived.

Zeon said with a serious expression.

“So many people have already died.”

“The damage is enormous. We must save them quickly.”

“First, we need to separate the zombies and the Awakened ones. Is that possible?”

“Is it possible? I’m Go Cheon-sun. I’m a member of Numbers.”

Go Cheon-sun was the old man’s real name.

He unknowingly brought up his real name when he heard Zeon’s words.

The old man concentrated his mind as he looked at the humans entangled with zombies. Then the twin sisters each placed a hand on one of his shoulders and spoke.

“We’ll help you.”

“cheer up!”

They used telepathy to intervene in the old man’s thoughts.

It artificially enhanced the concentration of elderly people.

Thanks to this, the old man’s concentration instantly increased several times.

Phew!

A translucent membrane burst out from the old man’s body, expanding terrifyingly.

“Double boundary. Protects the righteous and drives away the evil.”

The expanded barrier filled the underground space and pushed the zombies out, but had no effect on the Awakened.

The Awakened ones remain still, and only the zombies are pushed out of the barrier.

The double barrier was a kind of net.

It only detects and pushes out beings with an evil aura, like zombies.

Thanks to this, the Awakened were able to breathe a sigh of relief, free from the zombie onslaught.

Wow!

The zombies struggled and tried to hold on, but it was no use.

The barrier of the old man, which even included twins, was not something that even a specter or zombie could do anything about.

Boom! Kuuung!

Eventually, the zombies were pushed back to where the wall was, and even the Spectre was unable to escape being caught between the barrier and the ceiling.

The aggression on that topic did not subside at all.

The zombies somehow tried to tear the barrier apart, and the Spectre radiated negative energy and shuddered.

The barrier shook precariously as if it would break at any moment.

The old man shouted at Zeon.

“It’s your turn now.”

“yes!”

Zeon stepped forward and raised his dominance. Then, the sand particles that had been piled up on the floor floated up and were pushed out of the barrier.

Gooosh!

Sand rotated rapidly between the barrier and the wall.

Quagagagagak!

The zombie was torn apart with a creepy sound.

Even the zombies’ screams were buried in the sand and disappeared.

Zombies are not invincible.

Even zombies die if their heads are cut off.

A zombie that dies like that can never be resurrected. However, Zeon was not only removing the head, but was grinding the entire body down to a size smaller than sand.

The Awakened ones opened their eyes wide as they saw the zombies that had been threatening them turn to dust in an instant.

“crazy!”

“You can grind up zombies that easily?”

“What on earth have we been doing until now?”

It was so absurd that it was almost disappointing.

Eventually, the Awakened ones lost their strength in their legs and collapsed in place.

Specters still existed outside the barrier.

Since they had no physical form, they were safe in the sand mixer. However, their fate did not last long.

Levin walked into their midst and unleashed purple lightning.

Don’t miss it!

Levin’s rage-filled thunderbolt burned all the Specters outside the barrier.

On the other hand, the Awakened ones within the barrier were unaffected and were safe.

Levin, who had eliminated all the Specters, landed on the ground and hugged Zeon tightly.

“brother!”

“You’re safe.”

“I knew you would come, hyung.”

“Thank goodness it’s not too late. You held on well.”

Zeon patted Levin’s shoulder as he regained his physical form.

A smile appeared on Levin’s lips.

“As expected, he’s my brother.”
