27 Warlock of Pandemonium (2/2)

One of the Bone Golems roared.

As the human soldiers heard the monstrous roar from the monster, the hairs on their body stood on edge. The roar sounded like an echoing voice with a bit of high pitch and sounding like how a dying person would be – a person losing air as their body processes stopped working and their last breath went out.

Adding the fearsome, skinless visage of the golems only increased the fear within the hearts of the soldiers. However, they did not give in to fear.

Many soldiers tried to shoot the giant monsters down but every one of their attacks only managed to give a scratch on these abominations. However, the humans still didn't stop fighting despite their weapons having little effects.

Soldiers doing their best to fight no matter what, this could be a scene where brave heroes tried to destroy the evil beings with the appearances of death.

However, the golems did not give a single piece of crap. The lights on their eyes which looked at the humans coldly and perceived them like insects meant to be annihilated, didn't give any care about the heroic actions the soldiers gave. The humans are nothing but targets.

The golems spread out and slashed every living being around them.

Bodies which are cut in half flew away from where they were originally at with blood spilling and flying to the ground and even at the soldiers. It was a horrible sight. The golems seemed like they were just cutting grass and were doing it like it was an everyday job.

Brutus casually looked at the remorseless slaughter.

Brutus strode forward until he passed over the broken defenses.

In the far front of him, he saw a group of soldiers trying to shoot down the golems. Then Brutus mentally ordered the golem to step aside and find different targets, and the golem complied.

The humans were surprised and puzzled when the golem was just about to swing its arm it just moved on from them to another place. The soldiers looked confusedly at the golem as it moved away from them, then they looked they looked forward and saw a hooded masked man holding a fearsome looking black staff on his right hand.

Brutus extended his left hand a little towards the humans.

”[Necrotic Mutation].”

Green trails then appeared on the ground all around where the six soldiers are. As the soldiers saw this, they started to feel anxious because they don't have the slightest idea of what those things are, but there is one thing they do know – it's dangerous.

With the feeling of danger, the soldiers decided to run away from where they are standing and away from the green trails. However, just before each one of them could take a step, they felt something on their feet. Curious, they nervously looked down to their feet, what they saw shocked them and caused them to get more afraid than before.

The green trails were crawling on their feet, and as the trails rise up, it went inside their bodies but were still crawling up and spreading. As the green trails reached the middle part of their bodies, the soldiers began to feel pain.

”Aaarrggh.”

All the soldiers cried in extreme pain.

They felt like knives were cutting their insides as well as needles striking some parts of their body.

”AAAARRRGHH”

”AAARRGHH”

When the green trails have fully engulfed their bodies, the pain increased more than before. They held their heads with both of their hands, that is because it felt like their head was more painful than the rest of their bodies.

They felt like their head was being crushed. Their brain being carved by countless blades. It was an incomprehensible pain.

Then their skin began to change into the color of grey and their body lowered leaving their heads and arms dangling.

”Raaargh.”

They groaned, however it was no normal groans but rather lifeless ones.

Then their body raised.

The other soldiers looked at the six, and what they saw caused to be horrified.

The faces of the six have no emotions whatsoever but rather how a dead face would be.

The eyes were dead, totally different from when they are alive.

”Raaargh.”

Again, the six groaned then turned their faces towards the soldiers that were looking at them.

When the six saw the living humans, they immediately rushed towards them.

The humans stopped their breathing for a moment without them even realizing it.

As the soldiers saw the dead faces of their once allies, and how they were acting and moving. They have come to realize what they have become.

They have become something from a fantasy, something that does not suppose to exist. Things that were depicted to bring the word into pandemonium as well as into apocalypse. One word and one word only to call these creatures that were once living beings.

”Zombies.”

One of the living humans muttered.

Before they could do anything else, one of the zombies already reached one of the humans. Then the zombie grabbed one of the soldiers and they fell to the ground. Immediately the zombie bit the soldier's neck.

”No!”

One of the soldiers shouted in fear. Then the soldier shot the zombie multiple times resulting in heavily damaging the zombie and shot its head. After that, the zombie fell lifelessly as it should be.

However, before anything else, the rest of the zombies have grabbed the soldiers leaving one human.

The soldier tried to shoot down one of the zombies feeding on one of his allies and was successful. After that, something caught his attention.

The first that was attacked by a zombie began to move and stand up. Then it groaned and looked at him. The soldier was shocked and extremely frightened causing him to freeze and tremble.

This is a scene he never even wished to see in reality.

The zombie rushed towards him and when the zombie was closing in on him, he forced himself to shoot it down and magic particles damaged the supposed to be corpse. But it was too late to further damage it, the zombie already reached and grabbed him then started to consume the soldier.

”AAAAAAAAAHH!”

The soldier wailed in agony, then he died.

Zombies are one of the weakest creatures so the soldiers could easily kill them, the hit on the head was a critical hit and gave a heavy damage causing the annihilation of the zombie.

The zombies may be one of the weakest creatures, but when they increase in number or there are a lot of them, that is when they become fearsome and deadlier.

The zombies then finished taking a snack and moved on to other targets. Of course, they didn't consume the entire corpses, that is because they need to increase their numbers, well they did that because Brutus ordered them to do so. If there is no one to command the zombies, they would just feed on the corpses as long as they can and will only move on when there's a living being close to them.

Brutus looked at the chaos in front of him and was entertained.

He chuckled.

”The pandemonium and chaos are so satisfying and entertaining.”

The living humans were being slaughtered like little animals. The golems slicing the multiple humans at once like meats to be used to dinner. The zombies devouring the humans, causing them to cry in agony and fear. Then humans giving their futile resistance to the earnest, but to no avail. Well, they have nothing good to ever received, to begin with.

Brutus smiled behind the mask on the chaos and pandemonium before him.

Suddenly, a particularly loud bang rang out.

Then something hit Brutus – rather hit his defensive shield. The object gave a strong impact and was different than the others. This surprised Brutus.

He then looked in the direction where the projectile came from, and what he saw were multiple humans shooting from the walls.

Brutus pondered what just happened.

What was that? Hmmm… It seems like a bullet. Well that was strong, where and whom did that come from?

He peered into the wall.

Argh, never mind. It didn't damage my protection anyway.

There are many humans shooting from the wall, and Brutus didn't want to waste thoughts on the humans. They're going to die anyway, so he moved on.

He spread his arms.

”Suffer and die for my Lord and Master, inferior lifeforms!”
