The atmosphere around the room was very tense. People were all trying to calm themselves as the zombies in the center of the room were standing still. Roland and Senna also moved back to allow the recruits to take the charge in this fight. It was a test for them, so it wouldn’t make sense if they weren’t the ones fighting. But if they are being overwhelmed, then it would be easy for Roland or Senna to help them.

The silence in the room stretched for a while before one of the people in the room suddenly shouted as she activated a wide area skill [Fireball] and shot it straight at the zombies.

Once the skill left her, it was like a dam broke and all hell broke loose in the room. People began to throw skill after skill at the zombies! Water lances! Ice spikes! Even lightening! They all threw their skills at astonishing speed and the large explosion made a huge dust cloud rise from the center of the field.

But then, after some time they finally stopped and one idiot dared to ask.

“Did... We get it?”

Han rolled his eyes. Talk about a fucking jinx!

Zoom!

Roarrrr!!!!

The dust hadn’t even cleared up before the first zombie suddenly shot out and raced straight for them with a roar. Most of the people there had never seen an [Advanced Zombie] before coming here, so it was a complete shock to them when they saw the speed! This made one of them react too slowly and the zombie tore into him like butter!

Squelch!!

The death of the first man there was what woke most of them up and the fighting started to become more intense! The zombies were relentless and their speed was frightening, but the people here were mostly silver stars and high-level bronze stars! They were more than capable of taking care of a single zombie on their own! But three zombies were a little much for them to handle and so the fighting was slowly going in the zombies’ favor!

Han didn’t have time to look at everyone so he focused on only his girls. Yue, Lily, and Rin had all split up and gone to fight against one or two zombies on their own. Han was a little surprised by this, he thought they would stick together. But it was good that they knew they needed to learn how to fight alone. Only Rin was good at fighting alone, for now, so maybe this was time for Yue and Lily to learn as well.

Yue was using her tentacles to fight two zombies at once and Han couldn’t deny he was impressed. Those tentacles had leveled up past two hundred already and they were now more than strong enough to pierce through a zombie’s body. Yue was using them to both keep the zombies away while piercing and stabbing them from a distance.

Lily used a new skill she gained the other day, [Frozen Domain], and created a space around her that was colder than anything Han ever felt before. Any zombie that came too close to her would lose a lot of its speed because of that area effect and it would be easy for Lily to use her ice to pierce them many times!

They were defenseless.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing!?”

Leona shouted this in anger as she saw the underhanded tactics that her guild just carried out! Were they trying to kill those girls!? There are still more than twenty zombies left and they are all running straight for the girls!

Leona quickly tried to run in to help them but a hand caught hers and she turned back to see Vulcan looking down at her impassively. He narrowed his eyes and then shook his head.

“Don’t be the only fool in the room. Let it run its course. This is the way of the temple, only the strong survive,”

Leona’s face scrunched up in disgust as she looked around and saw that most of the fighters in the room were also calm, they didn’t even look like they intended to help at all. Instead, they were using the opportunity to rest! What the fuck is wrong with these people!? So they would sacrifice someone else just for a few seconds of rest!?

“Let go of me! It’s not too late! We can still help them!”

Leona tried to get free again, but Vulcan’s strength was greater than her own and she couldn’t make him budge. By the time he finally released her, it was already too late.

Roaaarrrrr!

Roarrrrrr!!!

Booommm!!!!!

Leona couldn’t see the looks on the faces of the three girls as they were engulfed by the multiple zombies because there were just far too many of them. She knew there was no way they would be able to escape this so she just hoped they would have a quick death –

“Urk!!!”

“Gaah!”

“Arggh!!”

Leona suddenly felt her insides roll and squeeze before a large blob of blood burst out of her mouth. She fell to her hands and knees immediately and tried to take in deep breaths. W-What? What was going on? She felt like she was going to die. This feeling of oppression? It’s... The same one in felt in the field before! Han!

[Bloodlust] has been activated at maximum output.
