Chapter 232: Cleared
"Is that your pet, Shane?" Raze asked after seeing the graceful yellow bird in the sky…
It wasn't as large as Roan, but it was certainly getting close to the size of the young dragon…
"Yes… It's good that the Evolution Stone worked in time… I think that we should be able to win at this rate. I'm counting on you, Raze… Roan…" Shane said as he looked at the Epic Dragon Knight and her dragon.
"Leave it to us!" Raze said as she decided to trigger the effect of her ring and necklace that could temporarily boost her strength and her dragon!
They were the Drakonar Signet Ring and Wyrmheart Locket Necklace!
These two items had several effects that were extremely important for a Dragon Knight like her. These skills are the Bond Amplification, Dragon's Might, Aura of the Wyrm, and Mental Clarity…
Seeing that Raze had a strong backup in the form of Sparky, she felt more confident getting closer to her Dragon!
Boom!
Raze immediately targeted one of the Giant Leader Zombies while riding Roan!
The Giant Leader Zombies, caught off guard by the sudden appearance of these majestic beings, found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer force and power of the Evolved Thunderbird and the Dragon Rider!
While Roan could release fire-based attacks, Sparky could use lightning-infused attacks that could pierce through their tough exterior, causing cracks to form in their impenetrable skin.
As Shane watched in awe, his heart swelled with pride and hope.
With Sparky's appearance, everyone felt motivated… Then, seeing how Roan suddenly became a Dragon that could be ridden by Raze, they all felt that they had everything in control.
"I guess I made a good decision…" Shane muttered as he really considered which of his pets should get the Evolution Stone. In the end, he felt that choosing Sparky was truly the right choice, considering how effective those lightning-based attacks are.
Rooaarr!
The tide of battle had shifted, thanks to the evolution of Sparky!
"Everyone! Assist them and bring down these zombies!" Shane rallied everyone to launch a final assault on the weakened Giant Leader Zombies, knowing that victory was within their grasp with the Thunderbird and Dragon Knight fighting alongside them…
As the Evolved Thunderbird, Sparky, continued to rain down, electrifying attacks on one of the Giant Leader Zombies, Shane sprang into action.
With a swift activation of his shoe's jumping boost, he propelled himself toward the towering creature; his parkour, aura, and climbing skills helped him effortlessly to reach its shoulder… Despite how the Zombie thrashed to send him away, he didn't fall down!
In a moment of desperation, Shane scaled the massive body of the Giant Leader Zombie, dodging its flailing limbs and attempts or grab him!
As Shane reached the Giant Leader Zombie's head, he unsheathed his Electric Shock Blade! Its blade crackles with electric energy to deliver the final blow.
"Haaa!"
With a mighty leap, Shane plunged the Electric Shock Blade deep into the skull of the Giant Leader Zombie, unleashing a surge of electricity that coursed through its undead brain.
Shane burned out three thousand Spirit Points just for this attack! Shane didn't expect this either, but considering the size of the Zombie, it seemed that it was just fine to use this many Spirit Points.
It didn't end there as Sparky struck with its lightnign talons once more before the Zombie convulsed and let out a deafening roar before collapsing to the ground, defeated at last!
[ You have eliminated a Giant Leader Zombie. ]
[ Congratulations! You are the first to eliminate a Giant Leader 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 ]
"Finally…" Shane smiled after seeing the rewards from the system.
Those Greater Instant Experience Potions were incredibly useful and because the Double Experience Boost was about to be gone, Shane immediately used them up!
[ You have consumed the Greater Instant Experience Potion. ]
[ You are under the effect of the Double Experience Boost. You have obtained 1,000 Experience Points! ]
Seeing that it still had the same effects, Shane quickly consumed the second one.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Warlord Shinja and Monk Chaloem coordinated their attack on the second Giant Leader Zombie as soon as Dragon Knight Raze opened an opportunity for them!
With Raze's stinging attacks, the Giant Leader Zombie only had its eyes on her and the Dragon she was riding! It had no time for the little ones aiming at its feet!
Shinja took a deep breath and held his dual blades before charging forward and striking at the exposed vulnerabilities of the injured creature.
"Haa!"
Monk Chaloem, channeled his powerful Aura and encased his hands in a radiant aura before striking the zombie!
Bam!
This strike didn't just affect a part of the Giant Leader Zombie, but it actually weakened the Zombie's overall defense and sapped its strength.
With this move, he made it easier for the others to injure the Giant Leader Zombie!
"Now… It's time to end this…" Monk Chaloem muttered.
With a target in his mind, he focused his aura in his palm once again and struck Zombie's knee!
Crack!
As the combined forces of everyone converged on the second Giant Leader Zombie, their coordinated efforts proved to be too much for the Zombie to withstand.
With a final, decisive blow from Shinja's blades and a burst of radiant energy from Chaloem's Aura Skills, followed by a Fire Breath from Roan, the creature crumbled to the ground, defeated and lifeless.
[ You have eliminated a Giant Leader Zombie. ]
The battlefield fell silent except for the thunderstorm behind them…
Raze, Shane, Shinja, Chaloem, and everyone who had participated stood amidst the wreckage...
After some time, as the storm clouds parted and basked them with the moonlight, the Survivors heard the announcement of the System confirming the end of the Zombie Wave!
[ Congratulations! You have successfully survived the Second Zombie Wave! ]
