Chapter 864: Savage Battle (2)
The Savage Kingdom is vastā¦
It has towering buildingsā¦
Fifty-four years ago, it was an industrial site owned by some of the wealthiest business moguls of Earth. The location was an oil refinery in its heyday. It was one of the largest oil refineries in the world at the time.
However, it has now become a kingdom for savages, turning it into a place no mundane dare step in.
The Zombies look horrifyingā¦ an amalgamation of flesh and twisted mutations that would horrify anyone. And they numbered in the thousands.
Klaus and his team are on their way to face these monsters, and in their hearts, they all have their hopes up, knowing that after today, the Savage Kingdom will be no more, and humans can finally spread out and use the vast land these zombies occupied for something better.
But would that be simpleā¦ Would they really have it easy?
The answer is hidden beneath the ground, currently seated on a large red throne made of bones. His hair is red, his skin is pale white, and his eyes are red. Looking at his fine muscles and the perfect red armor covering his body, it wouldnāt be obvious that he is prepared for battle.
The Savage King looks handsome, and well, he looks more like a vampire than even the zombie vampires.
The irony in thatā¦
Seated on the ground, a few meters from him, is a lady wearing a mask. It is not certain if she is also a zombie, but she holds six pieces of dice in her hand and is muttering some strange words.
A few minutes later, she threw the dice on the groundā¦ three turned to the six face, and the other three turned to the one face of the dice.
āWellā¦ are you going to tell me the outcome, or should I rip it out of your head?ā the Savage King asked, looking coldly at the lady.
āI have both good news and bad news, my king.ā
āGo ahead,ā
āThe good news is, the humans have mobilized all their strength to come against you. The bad news, however, is that they are bringing everything they have against you, and judging by the outcome, things donāt look good for youā¦ also.ā
āSpeakā¦ I donāt suppose you want me inside your headā¦ā
āā¦also, I canāt get a good read on them. Itās like something beyond my understanding is preventing me from getting a clear read on them.ā The lady shuddered as she said that.
She knew the Kind of person she was dealing with, so saying something that doesnāt seem like it will favour him isnāt something he wants to hear.
The Savage King looked at her for a few seconds and then scoffed.
āCome out.ā The moment he called out, five people walked through a hidden door. They each had red skin and bald heads. Each was a Peak Void stage expert, and looking at their aura, it was clear they were dangerous.
āYou five should use the hidden path through the Deadlands to get to the human settlement. Make sure you leave only when millions are dead, and bring as many bodies as you canā¦ā
The five nodded, and then they vanished from the room. When they left, the Savage King looked at his oracle and smirked. He stood up and walked toward herā¦
āI bet you didnāt include them in your calculationā¦ anyways, be sure to watch how I lay waste to the human scum that threaten my kingdom.
Just donāt disappoint meā¦do your job wellā¦ā
After saying that, he vanished and appeared in the air above his kingdom. āEverybody, be readyā¦ we have visitors.ā
Deep underground, the oracle removed her mask, revealing the face of a human lady. She was not a zombie, but a human with beautiful featuresā¦
āBut I did include them in the calculationā¦All five of them,ā she said, taking a deep sigh, and also vanished, appearing somewhere in the city. She wouldnāt be joining the battle; however, she was there to do something more importantā¦
She was there to control the battlefield for the zombies. The Savage King may be powerful, but his oracle was terrifying, and while Klaus didnāt know it yet, he would be facing his first adversary in the person of a level three Ascendantā¦
She looked into the distance and then she sighed againā¦āEven I canāt see past todayā¦Just who is coming?ā
Klaus and his team appeared a couple of meters away from the Savage Kingdom, only to face thousands of zombies waiting for them.
The sight was horrifying, to say the least, and looking at the formation they stood in, the savagery alone wasnāt enough to describe them.
They were a menace and the true definition of horror. Most were towering, some had turned into rotten flesh, and decaying bodies.
Unlike the clean and neat zombie vampires Klaus and Queenie saw in Vampire City, these ones were just too horrifying and an eyesore.
āLooks like they knew we were coming,ā Queenie, who was walking in the front with Klaus, said, looking at the thousands of zombies they were about to face.
āIt doesnāt really matter now, does it?ā Klaus smiled. āWe are here already, so we might as well get the party started.ā
Queenie smiled too.
āSo the humans couldnāt hide anymore and decided to come and face us nowā¦ How unexpected,ā The Savage King appeared in front of his army and spoke with a smirk.
A sword was sheathed behind him now, and in his hand was a flute. He was clad in red armor, just like how the Vampire Zombies dress.
Klaus looked at his demeanor and smiled. āSomething told me you would be dying today. At first, I didnāt believe it until I saw your faceā¦ You truly look like someone about to die.ā
āYou say that, but look behind me and look behind youā¦ I like my odds.ā The zombies started growling. Up in the air, Klaus spotted 73 Void stage zombies exuding a sinister aura.
āI must give it to you. You have the numbers, but I have the quality, so what do you sayā¦ ready to do battle?ā
Right when Klaus spoke the words, he felt an innate domain spread over him and cover his team. Then a haunting tune started playing in their ears, a melody that would drive anyone mad.
The Zombie King was playing his fluteā¦creating a melody aimed at taking hold of the mind of all those within the innate domain.
Klaus felt it, and so did his team.
Naturally, it shook most of his friends. However, it lasted for just a few seconds, as the next moment, Klaus raised his hand and snapped his finger.
The Savage Kingās eyes widened, and blood fell from the corner of his lips. The flute fell from his hands and landed with a gentle thudā¦
āBetter draw your sword, Zombieā¦innate domains donāt work on meā¦ and they are all connected to me.ā
Klaus turned to Veylorā¦
āVeylor, greet them for me.ā
The Doom Guard smiled and drew his bow. āWith pleasure.ā
