Chapter 76: How the Veteran Defends (1)

Kraaaaaah!

Keheeeeeck!

With skin peeling and blood mixing, the zombies with flesh-hungry eyes advanced in overwhelming numbers. The speed of their assault was so fast that in an instant, they had reached the very front of the stadium.

Hyung, can we really stop them with this?

Lee Tae-min looked uneasily at the plants that had sprung up at the entrance to the stadium. The Solar Plant, modeled after the sun, was quite large but didnt seem suitable for combat.

Oppa, dont tell me you chose something weird on purpose just for the thrill, like you used to?

Yoo Yeon-hwa added her concern.

Even the two veterans had never focused on using plants for defense on the fourth floor before. It was entirely uncharted territory.

Dont worry. These guys are pretty useful, more than youd think.

Jinhyuk smiled with confidence.

Just then,

Theyre coming!

Swish!

Cheon Yoo-sung drew his sword.

And with that.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground-shaking noise ensued as the zombie attack began.

Vines were trampled as zombies unabatedly tried to enter the stadium.

But the moment the first zombies foot touched the ground.

[The Solar Plant fires Lv1 Ray of the Sun!]

The greatly swollen plant spit out a sphere two meters in diameter.

Kwaahhhhh!

A gigantic mass of magical energy containing solar power exploded amidst the horde of zombies.

Kieeeek!

Kraaack!

The zombies, their entire bodies ignited by the blast, staggered and fell.

Huh?

Whats this power!

It seems much stronger than the Flame or Ice Towers.

The pupils of the four observers shook as if hit by an earthquake.

Of course, they were surprisedmore than fifty zombies had evaporated in a single attack.

Thats what I said. Choosing the stadium as a base shouldnt be a problem.

Although there was the tight condition that they must defeat the third-floor boss and be the first to arrive on the fourth floor, once they were well prepared, these plant-type towers would exert their utmost effectiveness.

Of course, without me, no one could properly utilize them.

To truly understand and utilize the plants attributes in the right places, more than luck was neededextensive practical experience was a must. An immense amount of it.

We need about one minute until the next Ray of the Sun.

In the meantime, youre saying we have to fend off the zombies.

Cheon Yoo-sung gripped his sword, clearly not needing to hear any more. It was good how quick he was to catch on.

Dont get overly rash and bitten by a zombie. If you get infected by the virus and turn, itll be a nuisance to clean up.

Ridiculous. You think I would get taken down by mere zombies?

Werent you just demolished by the martial arts guys a moment ago?

You bragged about wiping them all out.

But the barely 3-minute endurance and near-death struggle I saw it all too clearly.

I sincerely regret not recording that moment to hold a screening once a monthits just disappointing.

That, that was because I was exhausted from fighting those guys below. Didnt you see how many I took on by myself?

Sure, sure, you did. Just please manage your stamina properly this time.

Kugh.

Cheon Yoo-sung swallowed a groan of anger.

He felt that anything he said would sound like a pathetic excuse.

Turning away with a sullen face, he then declared.

This time, Ill do it properly.

He made sure to preserve his pride till the very end.

Hyung, Ill take care of the center.

Lee Tae-min, with his Machine Overlord ability, had a wide field of vision perfect for controlling the overall situation from the center. The ability to deploy drones was nearly like cheating.

Alright. Im counting on you.

Uhm. Then shall I head north?

Ill take the south entrance then.

Yoo Yeon-hwa and Theresa also moved to support the plants.

Now only the east entrance remained.

Its about time for some proper skill practice.

Jinhyuk took out the Twin Dragon Swords he received from Yoo Cheon-young. The swords blade was blindingly clear as it exuded its aura.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heart beat quietly but steadily.

It was his first time using a relic-level item in real life.

The time to test just how powerful it was had arrived.

First, the Sword Grave

Jinhyuk manifested his dark energy.

Whooooong!

The difficult-to-control rough energy enveloped the sword smoothly.

As expected

The sword perfectly assimilated this alien and erratic power as if they had been one body from the start. The sword and the dark energy now formed one shape together.

Kraaaack!

Keheeeeck!

The zombies, hungry for human flesh, opened their mouths wide.

Saliva mixed with blood dripped down.

Must be really hungry, but Ill give you all a feast.

Although it wasnt the flesh they desired, after feasting on dark energy, they would never again have the urge to eat anything.

And so,

[Black Moon Night is activated!]

A black crescent moon cast its shadow on the corrupted stadium.
