Shane took a deep breath after hearing this...
Still, even if the Zombie Lord wasn’t ant to be defeated and was ant to retreat once the Zombie Wave event ended, he didn’t want that to happen at all.
’I’m going to kill you...’ Shane thought as he really wanted to get the kill reward on this Zombie Lord.
At this point, with his Top Challenger title working, it boosts his damage and reduces his stamina consumption. The longer the fight went, the more the title compensated for his endurance loss.
After a few monts, he dashed in with Armored Dash... This ti, since his Stormguard Aura was also active, there was a wind swirling violently around his body during the dash!
It created a powerful force, disrupting the Zombie Lord’s movent.
Then, Shane did another slash with his Gale Blade...
Windstrike!
After a couple more, Windstrike was triggered again. It only had a range of 5 ters, but it was enough to chase the Zombie Lord.
Then a flurry of rapid attacks using Quick Draw combined with the ’Light as Air’ passive continued to hit the Zombie Lord...
Each of his movents retained the sa speed he’d used since the start of the battle. It was as if there was no sign of exhaustion.
Zar’Zhul could no longer fight back and could only use the mist or toxic gas to try and counterattack.
However, Shane soon struck at its joints, slicing through ligants and soon, bones...
Boom!
The ground quaked as the beast collapsed to the ground. Its one knee had already shattered, and its left arm was missing...
Soon, the Zombie Lord roared...
Corrupted energy spiraled around it, forming a massive burst of what seed like a dark power.
’It’s his final struggle, huh...’ Shane thought.
Indeed, he believed that it was the Zombie Lord’s final death wave.
Shane’s Mistwalker’s Pendant glowed faintly, absorbing most of the fear effect—but his body scread from fatigue at this point...
Whom~
Then, the wave surged forward.
BOOM.
The ground started shaking, and Shane was struck.
He tumbled to the ground and slid across the crater’s edge.
Shane’s Vitality Points plumted... Perhaps, he only had about 15 to 20% right now. He could feel it.
Then, since his critical threshold was reached.
The Warden’s Talisman activated.
[ Warden’s Talisman ( Mythic ): An ancient talisman forged by the Centaur Warlords during the Great Wars. This talisman boosts physical resilience, reducing damage taken by up to 50%, and grants temporary invulnerability when the wearer’s health drops below a critical threshold. Additionally, it summons spectral centaurs to aid the wearer in battle during monts of intense need. ]
Just like that, a surge of golden light engulfed him.
Ti seed to have slowed as the Mythic Item bound to him was activated...
For a mont, Shane stood unmoved.
For a brief duration, he was invulnerable.
Then, through the golden mist, a war horn sounded.
And out from the mist, spectral centaurs galloped across the battlefield!
Indeed, the Warden’s Talisman had fully taken effect, calling Ghostly Centaur Warriors of ancient tis.
They imdiately knew that the enemy, without Shane’s guidance...
Without a mont of hesitation, they charged at Zar’Zhul, using their spears!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Just like that, the Centaurs started piercing and staggering the Zombie Lord long enough for Shane to recover with his Potions and his Aura Sentinel’s Fast Regeneration effect.
Shane then assessed the situation.
As expected, he could end it now.
Shane tapped into his last reserves of Spirit Points.
He activated Predator’s Edge and Shadow Hunt...
It only took him a mont, and he was able to sprint forward and leap!
Titan’s Roar was then activated!
RAAAAAHHHH!
Zar’Zhul flinched.
Shane soared over its head and slamd the Gale Blade down with both hands.
CRACK!
A final Windstrike triggered! It was massive and devastating.
Thud!
It broke the final defense of the Zombie Lord, and Shane’s Gale Blade went through the Zombie Lord’s body almost without interference!
Zar’Zhul’s chest split open from shoulder to sternum!
Then, there was even a blast of compressed wind that exploded outward, flinging the Zombie Lords’ organs in all directions.
The Zombie Lord couldn’t even cry as he soon collapsed and fell to the ground...
Thud!
[ You have eliminated a Zombie Lord. ]
[ New Title Unlocked:
Sky’s Strongest: Grants the Skill: Flight. It is the ability to fly for 60 seconds. ]
[ Additional Rewards: Gold Treasure Chest, 50,000 Experience Points, and Territory Key Fragnt ]
"Ha! Finally!" Shane shouted as he also dropped to the ground.
The wind had already cald, and after a few monts, the dust had also settled.
Zar’Zhul, the Winged Calamity, had finally been defeated.
Shane was gasping for air as he really pushed his body to the limit this ti.
But he was alive.
"...That’s tough... I wonder if the others are doing well." Shane whispered.
He could only trust his subordinates at this point. In any case, most of the Legendary Recruits had been sent out. With Shinja, Shenlong, and many others, he was confident that even if they couldn’t win, they could hold out.
This was especially true for the New Genesis Shelter with Gaia’s Defense that should still be protecting the place.
Then, Shane shifted his attention to the spectral centaurs...
They ca in a perfect ti to give him so ti to recover. Soon, these centaurs also vanished like smoke in the wind.
After so ti, Shane noticed the Zombie Lord’s red crystal and confird that he could loot it.
For now, however, Cloud had sothing to report.
Apparently, there were only a few seconds left for the Zombie Wave event to end!
"Oh? That’s great news... I don’t think I can handle more Zombie Horde..." Shane said as he felt the warm sunlight on his body...
Then, the notification he had been waiting for finally arrived.
