"Looks like I made it to the party just in time," a voice called out from behind the Zombie Captain. Anna instantly recognized the voice. Behind the now-froz Zombie Captain, which had turned into a solid ice statue, stood a young man. He wasn't convtionally handsome, but there was something striking about him. His dark hair flowed down his back, with streaks of here and there. Klaus drew his sword out and the Zombie Captain that was froz into solid ices shattered dropping a Zombie Stone on the g. Klaus picked it up with a sly smile. "No more zombies will come through this trance, so anyone who wants to leave can go now. I've got work to do," Klaus said, moving off. As he passed by the stunned Anna, he gave her a quick wink. Everyone watched him as he zipped past them with terrifying speed, an aura of ice-cold death trailing in his wake. His presce was so chilling and chaotic that it st shivers down everyone's spines. "Who is that?" Kay asked, staring in the direction Klaus had gone. It was the direction of the thousands of monsters coming from the four main trances. "Anyone who can't fight should leave now. The infected should eat the Zombie stones and get out quickly. If you're lucky, you might be saved," Anna ordered her voice firm. Following her command, hundreds of people who survived gave a quick bow and hurried away, leaving only Anna, Lily, Kilian, Kay, Mark, and two other young fighters behind. "This is our chance to level up. Everyone, stay sharp and watch each other's backs," Anna said with a slight smile, pleased that they were staying to fight. She led them back toward the safer part of the area. "What the hell is that?" Kilian gasped as they stepped into the clearing. The sight before them was pure destruction. Hundreds of headless zombies stood froz in place, their bodies cased in ice. Their heads were nowhere to be found. "Where are their heads?" Mark asked, his voice filled with shock as he stared at the sce. "Look over there," Lily pointed toward Klaus. "He's cutting off their heads and storing them in his space ring as he fights." "Heavs," one of the young m who had stayed behind whispered, eyes wide. "Is he ev human? How can he move that fast?" Everywhere Klaus wt, zombies lost their heads in an instant. Klaus moved like a shadow, his sword flashing through the air with blinding speed. In one smooth motion, he decapitated five zombies, their bodies freezing solid before they hit the g. He barely paused before spinning a and slicing through another group, their heads flying off in differt directions. Without missing a beat, Klaus leaped into the air, his sword glowing with a faint blue light. He came down hard, driving the blade into the g. A ripple of ice shot out in every direction, freezing the legs of a doz zombies. He was on them before they could break free, lopping off their heads with swift, precise strikes. Klaus's control over the ice has improved greatly after he advanced to Level . Wh he ssed the danger and moved toward it. it was the direction of the fifth trance. He wasn't particularly afraid wh he saw the horde of Zombies. Klaus didn't stop there. He swung his sword in a horizontal arc, sding a sharp gust of wind that cut through a line of zombies, their heads popping off like dandelions in a breeze. He th launched himself into the air again, flipping over a crowd of zombies before coming down with a powerful downward strike. The impact created a shockwave of ice that blasted away everything within a t-meter radius, leaving nothing but froz corpses in his wake. As he landed, Klaus didn't slow down. He moved seamlessly into his next attack, this time driving his sword into the g again. Massive spikes of ice erupted beath a cluster of zombies, skewering them from below. Their bodies froze solid as they were lifted off the g, and Klaus casually walked past them, snapping off their heads as he wt. "More zombies are coming, we should start fighting too," Anna said, snapping everyone out of their trance. Her words were all it took to spur the others into action. Kay was the first to move. He pulled back his bowstring and released an arrow that ignited into a flaming serpt as it flew. The fiery snake streaked across the battlefield, crashing into a cluster of zombies with explosive force. Kay is a Level 5 Ascded. He has deep spiritual qi pool, so he didn't hold back. He infused each arrow with more ergy, suring every shot had devastating power. Mark wasn't far behind. With a swift motion, he swung his spear, unleashing sharp wind arcs that sliced through the air. The wind attacks cut through the zombie horde with lethal precision, severing limbs and heads as they wt. Like Kay, Mark was also a Level 5 Ascded. They are frids from the same academy, so they know each other's strgths and weaknesses. Fighting side by side, Kay and Mark moved with perfect coordination, instinctively knowing wh to cover for each other. They had trained together for years, ev before they awaked, so their teamwork was seamless. Lily joined the fray next. Her swordplay was both graceful and deadly, her strikes silt but lethal as she harnessed the wind elemt. She moved like a shadow, her attacks swift and precise, cutting down zombies with minimal effort. Beside her was Kilian, her brother, whose fiery sword attacks contrasted sharply with her cool demeanor. Every swing of Kilian's sword set the zombies ablaze, turning them into walking torches before they crumbled to ash. The other two who stayed behind also leaped into action. One was a mage, weaving powerful spells that ripped through the horde with blasts of elemtal force. The other was an ax-wielding warrior, his swings so powerful that they cleaved through multiple zombies with a single stroke. Like Kay and Mark, these two knew how to cover each other's backs, creating a deadly duo that kept the zombies at bay. Th there was Anna. Now that she was sured by such skilled fighters, she didn't have to worry about protecting anyone else. Everyone was already watching out for one another, allowing her to finally let loose. Her hair flowed behind her as she chanted spell after spell, her voice carrying a chilling power. The zombies stood no chance against her ice magic. Every swing of her staff froze them in their tracks, turning them into lifeless statues before they shattered into pieces. Anna moved through the battlefield like a fairy turning the Zombies into chunks of ice. BOOM! Suddly, a massive explosion echoed from the first trance. The g trembled, and from the dust and debris, a new wave of zombies emerged, they look differt. Their skin was pale, almost , and they moved with a disturbing, unnatural speed. "White Zombies," Anna muttered, her face pale. "This is bad."
