Chapter 481 The Ice Tower Infiltration (2)

After Jacob and Charlotte's masterful invasion of the ice city, they started to slowly move toward the ice tower, just as Jacob planned.

But half a day later, a commotion broke into the ice city among the monsters when one of them discovered the unidentified hole in the ice wall.

Almost instantly, the monsters reacted by sending ten grounds led by large monsters at the peaks of epic-tier-9, and all of them controlled at least five hundred small snow monsters. nove.lb-In

All of them selected different entrances and started to comb through the maze for intruders. At the same time, more units were made to comb through the city.

This naturally put massive pressure on the two infiltrators. But they had their way to make sure they wouldn't get noticed, and since many snow monsters were running around the city or combing the passages, no one noticed the missing monsters from the house.

In fact, this creates a rare chance for the two to close the distance between them and the ice tower quickly.

However, as they grow closer to the ice tower, their speed eventually slows down because the ice blocks, like houses, also grow larger, which means they belong to the large snow monsters and assassinating them was not easy, especially if they were a pair in a house or even more.

So, selecting the targets becomes even more important, and with just one wrong move, they will be in a world of trouble.

52 hours after entering the ice city, Jacob was now around 29 miles away from the ice tower, and currently, he was hiding in a large monster's ice block, which he killed an hour ago with slumber hex.

Although he was wasting his previous dark being magic cores, he didn't regret it because he was growing stronger by consuming all those epic-tier-9 monsters' meat and hearts. Ever so slightly, he could feel he was growing stronger, and right now, he should be equivalent to a true epic tier-8 physical and was rapidly approaching tier-9.

Jacob mused that if he could get another heart at the level of Geko or the large ice monster, he might be able to break into tier 9. Furthermore, he noticed it late, but he found that the snow monsters might be the descendants of some powerful legendary creatures since they were making him stronger so fast.

But he couldn't summon the cursed book here, so he held back his curiosity and focused on growing. Now, he was even thinking of gaining power equivalent to a unique rank as long as he consumed the high-rank species present in this trial.

Right at this moment, Jacob suddenly became alert when he heard a large commotion outside and looked out carefully, and his eyes dilated in disbelief. In the southern wall, he saw dark beings pouring out from the entrances, and they were all zombies!

Furthermore, they weren't just any zombies; but all of them were the snow monsters who seemed to have turned!

In that instant, the entire ice city was filled with enraged roars from the snow monsters as they all rushed toward their attackers with blood-crazed eyes. Even if they were their fellow tribesman, they could tell from their empty, lifeless eyes and smell of rotten flesh that they were no longer the same.

'A high-ranking zombie!' Jacob's heart sank when he looked at all those zombie monsters, madly biting the others and ripping off the others while the other monsters were raining down ice element spells on them like crazy.

Within an instant, the peaceful city turned into a bloody battlefield between the dead zombie monsters and living monsters.

Right at this moment, a figure blurred into where Jacob was observing the gruesome scene of carnage. But Jacob didn't try to act as he merely looked toward the door, and Charlotte was standing there, flaunting her graceful body and smiling at him.

"It seems we are in trouble." She said with a meaningful smile.

Jacob didn't deny it and nodded, "I seem so. Do you, by any chance, know who the assailant is?"

Charlotte showed a rare frown as she gravely said, "There is only one dark being who could turn others into its puppet zombies and control thousands of them at will, the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke!

"That thing is a one-man army, and a battlefield like this is his heaven. The more he killed, the larger his army grew. I heard rumors that the entire dead dukedom of the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke is filled with his puppets. What a bad luck to end up in the same place as him. Even my dad would have a hard time fighting him."

Jacob's expression grew grim after he heard this, and he glanced at the battlefield where hundreds of snow monsters were already dead while the causality on the other side was even larger. The natives seemed to have an overwhelming advantage.

But right at this moment, an arrogant husky voice rang in the language of the dead, "Rise my children and enlighten these beasts!"

Thereafter, from the dead zombies, a gray mist spread, and like some strange force guiding it, that mist started to seep into all those dead snow monster corpses. Within a few seconds, they begin to rise from the ground and attack their previous allies.

"Told you, that bastard is simply impossible to kill. He can hide somewhere and control this entire battlefield. Unless we kill him, those zombies won't stop multiplying. That's the main reason he's so hard to deal with." Charlotte expressed gravely.

Jacob also found the power of this Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke absurd and understood why the armies of the life faction wouldn't invade the dark being lands and remain defensive. Just the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke alone was enough to clash with an army under the right circumstances.

"If that's the case, then let's go toward the tower right now. Let him keep all of those monsters occupied for us. If there is a shackle inside that tower, I'm pretty sure that guy's objective would be the same. So, we have to beat him to it! If there is nothing, we will retreat!" Jacob declared as he moved out, as there were no longer any monsters close by.

Charlotte smiled coldly as she followed behind him, "My thought exactly!"
