Chapter 236 – 236. Mutant Zombies Controlled by the Dark Red Dark Ether. [Claudia’s Decision][2]
“Claudia?”
Tae-sik Kim was surprised by Claudia’s appearance as he belatedly turned to the food tank.
“Ah… Hello…?”
Claudia, who had repelled the mutant zombie with great charisma, looked at Kim Tae-sik and smiled awkwardly.
“Since when have you been here?”
This is because it was discovered that she had been watching Kim Tae-sik in a cloaked state.
So Kim Tae-sik asked her with wide eyes.
“Ever since you came into this city… I’m sorry… I was going to tell you right away, but I was really curious about what you came here for…”
The sound of suppressed laughter that was heard while Kim Tae-sik was killing a number of regular zombies was the sound Claudia made while in a clogging state.
When I came back to Taesik Kim’s place, I found that he was heading to Seoul using the route he had told me about.
But then, when she suddenly entered the ruined city, Claudia felt puzzled.
So, she approached with cloaking and followed me here, trying to be as discreet as possible.
“No, there’s nothing to be sorry about…”
When Claudia felt so sorry, Kim Tae-sik was hesitant.
“Be careful, Taesik!!!!!”
At that moment, Claudia looked towards Kim Tae-sik and shouted.
“-Kwaaaaa!
This is because the mutant zombie caught up with Kim Tae-sik’s movements while he was distracted.
“Hey Mr!!!!”
ㅡSasasasak!!!
Kim Tae-sik, who belatedly recognized the situation, attempted a sharp change of direction.
“I’ll handle it!!”
Chuck!
At the same time Claudia extended her witch’s wand towards him.
-Passsss?
Light purple magic was activated on the head of the witch’s wand.
ㅡ Turpy uh uh uh !!!!
“ㅡkkkk!!!”
Then, the mutant zombie that rushed towards Kim Tae-sik
It was blocked by something that looked like a mutant zombie that ran into a food tank and was thrown out.
“Ooooo!!! What is this!! Is this magic?”
In the first situation, Kim Tae-sik could only see the mutant zombie jumping out.
However, as I was watching Claudia’s technique right in front of me, a translucent wall was created and mutant zombies were seen being bounced off the wall.
“Uh… It’s my magic…”
Claudia was a little taken aback by Kim Tae-sik’s reaction, which was so amazing.
“Come this way, Taesik…”
Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!
He then extended his wand five times toward each mutant zombie.
“Oh thank you!!!”
ㅡDa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!!!
As a result, the mutant zombies bounced off again, and Kim Tae-sik took advantage of the gap and ran towards Claudia.
“But what did you mean by that a moment ago? “Those guys are attacking you too?”
Afterwards, Kim Tae-sik asked about what Claudia said before removing the cloaking.
“Because you were in danger, I had no choice but to give up. That’s why even mutant zombies recognized my existence.”
“If it’s normal, you won’t attack me. “Even though I don’t possess dark ether, my witch’s uniform has a function that allows monsters to possess a certain level.”
A situation where mutant zombies were pushed out by repelling them,
Through that time, Claudia answered Kim Tae-sik’s questions.
“But even so, I was surprised to see it attacking me for a moment.”
If you do not attack beings with the same dark ether due to kinship,
In the case of witches or wizards with outstanding magical power, they are possessed by a special power, so zombies and monsters do not attack them.
And if you make that power stronger, you can control monsters at will or cause phenomena such as zombie waves.
In particular, if you are wearing a witch’s uniform, such ability is a basic passive, so the behavior of the mutant zombie just before was an outside of the standard behavior for Claudia.
“Attribution… I see… Well, I said that the magical power you have is not completely the same as the dark ether…”
Nod…! Nod…! Nod…! Nod…!
Kim Tae-sik nodded thoughtfully, looking at the zombies that had been thrown out quite a distance and were lying around.
“But Claudia… Were those mutant zombies created without your involvement? So, what I mean is, as far as I know, I’ve only seen variant zombies during the zombie wave…”
However, thanks to this, I was able to have a conversation with Claudia about a topic I had been avoiding.
So Taesik Kim asked Claudia what he had been curious about.
“Taesik, I don’t know how much you know, so it would be difficult to tell you clearly right now…”
“First of all, it is true that it was created through the influence of the zombie wave energies I have created so far. Because of them, the existing dark ether has changed a lot.”
Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!
Claudia answered cautiously.
By nature, she is not a woman who pretends what she did did not happen at all, so she wanted to convey the facts as much as possible.
In the meantime, Claudia stood up again and once again blew away the mutant zombies that were running.
“I think so too. I don’t know if you believe it, but I feel the energy of zombies too. “I felt a constantly changing flow of energy during the zombie wave and after it.”
Kim Tae-sik, who heard Claudia’s careful explanation, explained his own perception in detail.
“As expected, it was like that. Anyway, yes, the creation of mutant zombies itself should be seen as an effect of the zombie wave I caused.”
“However, their tendencies or current behavior are a bit…”
Claudia’s conclusion based on Kim Tae-sik’s answer was that the mutant zombies’ tendencies were outside her expected range.
“I’ll finish off those mutant zombies first.”
Sigh…!
Kim Tae-sik took a charging stance while looking at the mutant zombies that had stood up again.
“Wait a minute, Taesik, don’t attack and leave it to me for a moment.”
Sigh…!
Claudia then stopped Kim Tae-sik’s attack and held her staff with both hands and held it out in front of her.
It was similar to the feeling of a witch’s wand held upright when resonating with a zombie wave in a high-rise building.
-Shuuuuung…!
Purple magic was activated on Claudia’s staff.
When using Deflection, if only the head of the staff is activated,
This time it was activated on the entire wand.
“Ooooot!!!”
Kim Tae-sik, a fan of witches, was once again enraged by the sight of her displaying her witch-like abilities.
“-Kwaaaaa!!!!”
“-Wooooo!!!”
“—Keeeee!!!”
ㅡDoo-dada-dada-dada-dada-dada-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!!!!
At that moment, five mutant zombies that had recovered from the damage charged towards Kim Tae-sik and Claudia.
-Blind…!
At the same time, Claudia’s eyes flashed a bright purple light.
“—Keeeeek?” “ㅡKuuuhuh?” “ㅡKuuuhuh?”
ㅡTap tap!! -Tap! ㅡTap, tatter, tsk, tsk!!!
Then, the mutated zombies that were fiercely charging towards Kim Tae-sik and Claudia stopped as if the brakes had been suddenly stepped on.
“Kareuk..? Karrrrpp…? “Carrrrpp…?” “Kwoeook…? Whoa…? “Kuuuuu…?
Beep…! Creak…! Wiggle…! Dream…! Creak…! Creak…!
Afterwards, the mutant zombies creaked their whole bodies in a bizarre way, just like when they evolved into mutant zombies in the beginning, and turned their heads here and there with a chaotic gaze direction.
‘Ho oh…Is Claudia strengthening her attribution…?’
Even when Tae-sik Kim, the magic eunuch, saw it, it looked like Claudia forcibly possessing mutant zombies through her magic.
‘It feels strange… It’s no joke… It’s my first time approaching something like this… But even so, it’s something…’
Unlike Kim Tae-sik’s innocent admiration, Claudia’s expression became quite serious.
Until now, Claudia had already attributed the zombies to some extent, and she had tried to resonate.
However, she is now attempting forced attribution.
As she tried to force the belonging, she felt how huge the sense of alienation was and how she was surrounded by mutant zombies.
‘Somehow, if I push harder… I think the true identity will come out…’
-Flash!!!!
She was somewhat embarrassed by her great sense of foreignness, but Claudia’s confusion soon turned into a desire to know beyond.
Her eyes shined even brighter.
She had cast a more powerful attribution spell.
“-Kuuuuu||||| “-Wooooo!!!” “—Keeeee!!!”
-Passsss? Passsss…! Passsss…!
Afterwards, the mutant zombies were engulfed in Claudia’s purple magical energy.
She struggled, holding her head.
“!!!!!!!!!!”
After seeing such a passionate reaction, Claudia’s eyes widened.
“Ohhh??”
Taesik Kim, the magic eunuch, also widened his eyes.
-Blind! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
ㅡKuuuuu!! ㅡKuuuuuck!! ㅡKiyaooooo!!!
This is because Claudia’s magic penetrated and the purple eye glow of the mutant zombies changed.
“What!! Has it changed to dark red??”
It was a dark red color, a mana color that Taesik Kim had never seen before.
The colors of mana that Taesik Kim has seen are blue, emerald, dark purple, and purple.
Let Claudia cast a powerful binding spell.
As if resisting it, dark red mana jumped out from the mutant zombies.
“That’s right… That’s right…”
Claudia next to Kim Tae-sik, who is going crazy.
As the dark red eyes of the mutant zombies appeared, they muttered quietly, feeling somewhat mesmerized.
“-Khaaaaa!!” “ㅡKhehehaaaaa!!” “ㅡKuuuuuck!!!”
ㅡEverything! Every step of the way!! Cheek!!
The zombies’ condition did not end with just the change in their eye glow.
The guys who were stuck in the binding state released Claudia’s restraints using the power that created the dark red eye glow.
And then he got ready to charge again.
“Taesik, my attack magic is much less effective in this world. “Would you please catch those mutant zombies?”
“Oh yeah? Okay, I’ll finish it!”
Then Claudia asked Taesik Kim to attack.
“I had a lot of good times, you bastards!!!”
ㅡPaaaaa!!!
Kim Tae-sik immediately dug in with a single shot of the awakening iron pipe loaded.
ㅡFuaaaaah!!!
Then I smashed the head of the mutant zombie on the far right.
-Fuuuuu out up up out there out up!! ㅡFuuuuugh!!!
Afterwards, two regular mana bullets with high firepower concentration were fired in succession toward the opposite side.
-Puuuuuck!! ㅡFuuuuull just
At the same time, two zombies on opposite sides with their heads smashed,
“-Kwaaaaa!!!” “-Wooooo!!!”
ㅡPaaaaa!!!
After belatedly recognizing Kim Tae-sik’s movements, which were very fast, two mutant zombies attacked Kim Tae-sik.
-Peruuuuuck!!!
ㅡFuuuuuck!!!
Kim Tae-sik struck each of them vertically and pierced the top of their heads by stabbing an iron pipe underneath them.
ㅡCheolpudeok!! ㅡPlopping!!
Just like that, the last two mutant zombies were lying on the floor of the warehouse with their heads smashed.
“…”
Claudia looked at that scene in silence.
‘So that’s why it stopped creating the zombie wave… The Foundation’s totem started moving on its own… The human woke up…’
Claudia realized why the Dark Awakening suddenly stopped activating the zombie wave.
