Chapter 91 - Apocalyptic Zombies! (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thirty miles eastward from Jinyintan Village.
It was past seven in the evening now.
The sun was setting and the night slowly descending.
Near the gully, a short-haired woman wearing spandex and smoky make-up was sitting cross-legged, and lying beside her was a boar over a dozen meters in length and was covered in a layer of pitch-black scales.
The boar’s tusks were long and it also had a single dark horn above its head, and it was as tall as a one-floored building even though it was lying down.
A petrifying aura was emitting from its horn too.
Weirdly, however, there was a vague gray sheet of deathly air around its body.
Upon closer look, one would see a gaping hole in the horned boar’s abdomen. The flesh around it had dried up, however, and its innards were visible, though they had all shriveled into a tangled bunch and showed no signs of life.
It was a rank-eight Feral, slain by one of Sky Demon Cult’s Sentinels, its corpse now awarded to the Decan, Pain Star.
That is, the woman beside the dead boar.
Aside from the horned boar, Killer Star’s corpse was also covered in a layer of gray mist, and standing behind Pain Star like a piece of wood.
Nearby, there were almost a hundred Ferals and 1200 human corpses.
All those Ferals were dead. In fact, some of them had been pierced so thoroughly that black blood was still dripping from their wounds, and just like the human corpses, they were covered in a faint gray mist that had the impression of apocalyptic zombies.
One of the top ranked Decans in the Sky Demon Cult, Pain Star earned her place not because of her physical strength. In fact, she could be very weak in a fight, and a rank-five martial artist would be capable of killing her if they could get close enough.
However, it was her superpower that was exceedingly terrifying: she has the ability to summon corpses to fight for her.
Of course, while her power did have limitations, it remains extremely horrific. She would definitely be a genocidal machine in the battlefield!
“Lady Pain Star. Jinyintan Village has been fully evacuated.”
Nearby, a Fiend whose whole body was releasing a scorching aura spoke reverently. “However, the villagers were being escorted by the military and a grandmaster, which prevents me from attacking. As for Jiang He… I suppose he would have left with the escort.”
The Heavenly General, Earthen Savage was a red-haired man and appeared to be in his thirties. He was an A-class Awakened with fire-type powers who could match a rank-seven grandmaster.
Meanwhile, Pain Star slowly opened her eyes. She extended her hand, and a rat appeared in her palm.
The creature was around three inches long and was surrounding with the faint deathly mist as well. It squeaked even as it crawled around Pain Star’s palm, but when it was done squeaking and the deathly mist around it faded, it became a corpse once more.
A flash of surprise appeared in Pain Star’s eyes then.
Then, she covered her lips with one hand and giggled coquettishly. “Interesting. How interesting… what a stubborn little kid. He is actually so brave that he would remain alone in the village—does he really believe that the Sky Demon Cult is helpless against him?”
That was when the air boomed twice as two other Fiends rushed to the scene.
One of them was the Earthen Majesty Heavenly General, and his hair was all white and had a slight hunch. He was also holding a long alloy staff.
The other man, the Earthen Diction Heavenly General bore a slight resemblance to Earthen Majesty. However, his posture was straight and he appeared spirited.
Both men were rank-seven martial arts grandmasters and ranked high amongst the seventy-two Fiends, boasting brute power.
“You’re back? How did your task go?”
Pain Star asked flatly as she turned to both men.
Earthen Diction forced a smile in response. “The Leopard Python is gone. We checked its lair, but the entire valley was flattened from bombardment, and I fear the snake was killed by the military.”
