Seeing Eamonn's transformation, Fatso's brows immediately furrowed. This ability to summon parasitic zombies from within his body was something he had never heard of before. Just by observing the aura emanating from the Carnage Wraith, Fatso could tell that his combat strength had drastically changed compared to earlier.
Not only Fatso, but everyone else also wore serious expressions. Only David remained calm as he looked at Eamonn, even as his gaze shifted towards Louisa and Lucinda. He understood that these three individuals had come with great determination and were determined to kill them all. Their presence was more ominous and powerful than any other zombies he had encountered before.
Having advanced to level ten, David knew that his greatest adversary was not Eamonn or the Louisa sisters. It was the figure outside the garage. As soon as Alexander appeared, Charles sensed his presence and informed David.
David immediately deduced that this person was likely the mastermind behind controlling Alvin, orchestrating Abraham's death. Even the three individuals before him were most likely his minions, as they seemed to be relentlessly fixated on him. However, David felt no apprehension; instead, he felt a sense of anticipation. He knew that the secrets of the Second Red Light, and perhaps even other mysteries of the apocalypse, might gradually reveal themselves before him. But for now, the priority was dealing with Eamonn and his companions.
"Fatso, you and Arnold take care of those two female zombies. Leave this one to me. We have five minutes to finish this fight; the real enemy is outside," David instructed, causing everyone to pause in surprise.
There's an enemy outside? Duane glanced towards the garage entrance, realizing the implications of David's words. He immediately tensed up, understanding that a major battle was about to unfold. Even though Eamonn's target wasn't him, but David, Duane knew that they were now on the same side and had to fight together.
"I'll take care of this one. You conserve your energy," Duane stepped forward, locking eyes with Eamonn, his gaze shifting towards David. He knew that he and David were destined to face each other in battle sooner or later.
Shirley also gripped her knife tightly, her face composed and determined as she stared at Eamonn.Her fair cheeks seemed as calm as still water, yet hidden within was a hint of danger. With Duane and Shirley by his side, David pondered for a moment before nodding. He understood that Duane wanted him to save his strength, likely to face the greater threat outside.
Among them, only David had the power to match the external adversary. As Duane and Shirley moved forward, the Carnage Wraith let out a chilling laugh, brandishing a bone blade that was over a meter long. Strange patterns were etched onto the blade, giving it an air of mysterious malevolence.
"If that's how it's going to be, then I'll start by killing you two!" The Carnage Wraith chuckled ominously, gripping the bone blade and charging towards Duane and Shirley.
Meanwhile, Fatso, along with Arnold, Duke, Sally, and others, surged towards Louisa and Lucinda. As the Carnage Wraith closed in, Duane swiftly opened his treasure chest, retrieving a golden-threaded armor. As his fingers touched it, the armor immediately enveloped him. Duane knew that he couldn't directly face the Carnage Wraith in a head-on confrontation. His priority was self-protection before devising his next move.Reaching into the treasure chest again, he took out a paper figurine and tossed it onto the ground. Upon landing, the figurine expanded with a "thud" sound until it reached normal human size. they charged at the Carnage Wraith, quickly surrounding him.
These paper figurines surrounded Carnage Wraith, incessantly gnawing and tearing at its body, attempting to rip its flesh and skin apart entirely. As it watched these paper figures, a burst of anger erupted on Carnage Wraith's face. With a roar, it swung its bone blade horizontally, and in the blink of an eye, it severed all these paper figures at their waists.
However, Duane wasn't surprised because these paper figures were just his diversion, meant to distract Carnage Wraith's attention. The real attack came from behind, from Shirley.
As Carnage Wraith's attention was drawn to the paper figures, Shirley had already charged behind it. At that moment, Shirley poised her sword in a drawing motion, her gaze locked onto Carnage Wraith's back, awaiting Duane's command.
"Shirley, go!" As the paper figures fell and turned into a pile of ashes, Duane shouted loudly at her. As his words rang out, Shirley's sword, swiftly unsheathed! "Water Ripple Strike!" She bellowed, and her sword created ripples resembling water, slashing directly at Carnage Wraith's back.
Even Fatso, who was engaged in combat with Louisa, was drawn by Shirley's breathtaking and courageous swordplay. Shirley's commanding presence ignited Fatso's enthusiasm, causing his combat strength to surge exponentially. He clenched his fist and struck at Louisa's face.
David, too, was slightly taken aback by Shirley's sudden and stunning swordplay. However, he quickly understood that Shirley wasn't a match for Carnage Wraith. Despite her fierce and resolute strike, Carnage Wraith was still a level-nine zombie, bolstered by Eamonn's human strength.
Just as David had anticipated, the moment Shirley unsheathed her sword, Carnage Wraith had already turned slowly to face her. It gave her a cold smile, and its bone blade, moving from bottom to top, swept directly towards her with a flurry of killing intent. Its speed was astonishing, its attack fierce, clearly surpassing Shirley's capabilities.
Shirley was startled for a moment, desperately attempting to dodge. Unfortunately, Carnage Wraith left her no room to evade; its bone blade whistled toward her. "Clang!" Instinctively, Shirley used sword to block, resulting in a crisp collision sound.
The next second, Shirley felt as if she had been struck by a shockwave, sending her flying like a kite with a broken string.
"Mess with my wife!" Fatso watched Shirley descending from the air and immediately leaped forward, catching her in his arms before landing on the ground. At this moment, Shirley's brows furrowed, her expression showing intense pain. She had clearly been seriously injured by Carnage Wraith's recent strike.
After all, Duane's tactic was based on a surprise attack, catching the enemy off guard. However, they hadn't anticipated Carnage Wraith detecting them so quickly. With Shirley's lower level of strength, she had no means to resist, and her internal injuries would take time to recover from.
Gazing at Shirley with compassion, Fatso cradled her in his arms. Sophie rushed over and used Stellar Healing to cover her.
"Leave this to me. Go and help the others," Sophie said to Fatso, simultaneously administering healing to Shirley.
Fatso nodded, gently placing Shirley down. His face twisted in anger, he charged toward Carnage Wraith. "I'm coming for you! If anything happens to my wife, I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!" Like a madman, his eyes turned crimson.
