In a state of panic, the agility-type evolved zombie understood the imminent threat it faced; if Duke’s spear found its mark, it would undoubtedly meet its end.
With a split-second decision, the agility-type zombie sprang into action.
Swoosh!
Graaaaah!
Snip...
Crash!!!
In that fleeting moment, Duke’s spear found only air, crashing into the ground where the agility-type evolved zombie had just stood.
A small puddle of black coagulated blood pooled around the spot of impact, and the only remnant of the creature left behind was a severed arm, still lodged in the protective ice crystal dome surrounding Rose and the other warriors. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Rose was taken aback by the agility-type zombie’s swift decision to sever its own arm to escape Duke’s attack.
It displayed an unsettling intelligence, recognizing the futility of trying to break free from the ice’s grip.
Instead of recklessly risking its life, it chose to endure a painful setback.
A chill coursed through Rose as she contemplated the creature’s cunning nature.
Duke narrowed his eyes as he followed the trail of blood back to where the agility-type evolved zombie now stood.
It glared at him with hostility and anger, but beneath that defiance lay a flicker of fear and hesitation; it recognized Duke as a formidable threat.
Even the mental-type evolved zombie took a cautious step back, retreating behind its companion as they communicated in hushed sounds without breaking eye contact with Duke.
Both creatures remained acutely aware of his every move, their body language betraying their unease in the face of his unwavering presence.
Grruuuhaaa....
Aaaarrrrgggghhh!
Duke tilted his head, unsure of what the two evolved zombies were communicating, but neither showed any signs of backing down as they faced him.
Meanwhile, Rose, who had been momentarily startled by the attack, refocused on aiding the most critically injured warriors, those teetering on the edge of life.
She quickly retrieved all the vials of blue liquid from their backpacks.
Fortunately, Kisha had packed an abundance of these vials, along with stamina boosters and vials of black liquid for worst-case scenarios.
Her foresight proved invaluable, as those on the brink of death were saved at the last moment.
For the warriors with limbs nearly severed, Rose carefully adjusted their positions to ensure the healing effects of the vials of blue liquid would take hold effectively.
As for those with open wounds in their stomachs or throats, the healing process was already underway; she watched in awe as the gaping injuries slowly began to close, flesh regrowing and pulsing back into place.
Although she winced at the sight, she pressed on, determined to help her comrades recover.
Those who had just awakened from their healing slumber groggily propped themselves up, eager to assist Rose in feeding their comrades the vials of blue liquid designed to aid their recovery.
Despite their lingering disorientation, sheer willpower drove them to focus on the task at hand.
Deep down, they were astonished to have survived such a near-death experience and to feel the revitalizing effects of the vials, yet they knew that this was not the time to question anything or let distractions creep in.
Fortunately, Rose’s ice crystal dome barrier provided a safe haven as Duke battled outside.
With his impressive stats and abilities, he was more than capable of holding off the two evolved zombies, expertly countering their attacks.
