Chapter 167: Apollo’s Trump Card

The people within the city were shocked as the mysterious and powerful fifth-rank zombie seemed to know their city lord—or perhaps even more unsettling, seemed to have some history with him. Confusion and fear spread among them as they tried to piece together the connection between the two.

Kaleb, despite being a new saint with a strong foundation, was equally shaken. The aura emanating from the fifth-rank zombie was overwhelming, making even him tremble. It wasn’t just powerful; it was an abyss of strength, a force that made Kaleb realize just how outmatched he might be if it came to a direct confrontation.

The situation was rapidly changing into something far more dangerous than any of them had anticipated.

City Lord didn’t remain standing and finally appeared in the sky to face the speaking fifth-rank zombie.

"Dale, we aren’t brothers. The moment you chose this path, any relationship between us ended. So don’t talk as if we’re close or something," the City Lord’s voice rang out, cold and resolute. "If you want to fight, let’s fight and end this feud once and for all."

"Tch.. Still acting high and mighty. Well then, let’s see what you will say when you are dying."

Boom!

Boom!

Bang!

Both of their auras exploded, and the powerful auras collided with each other with strong, overwhelming momentum.

Crack Crack...

The space around them trembled, and countless small cracks started to appear in the sky as the City Lord and Dale prepared to clash. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and just as they began their confrontation, the other two fifth-rank zombies moved to destroy and devour every life form in the city.

Bang!

With a sonic boom, another figure appeared, moving with incredible speed, revealing themselves to be another saint. This new arrival intercepted the two fifth-rank zombies, preventing them from advancing further, shocking the crowd and even Kaleb.

The strength displayed by Crimson City surprised both Kaleb and Asa, who hadn’t expected the city to possess such hidden power.

However, despite this display of force, no one could feel relieved. The situation had escalated too severely, and Kaleb realized he could no longer afford to hide his true strength.

The other Saint from Crimson City would have difficulty holding off the two fifth-rank zombies alone, as these undead were vastly different from the typical mindless creatures. With full intelligence and the experience of their former lives, these zombies hadn’t weakened after death—they might have even grown stronger.

Kaleb knew that the battle had reached a critical point, and he would need to unleash his full power to ensure the survival of everyone within the city.

With that, he exploded with full strength, showing his strength, and intercepted one of the fifth-rank zombies, decreasing the pressure on the Saint from the crimson city.

A mysterious, purplish aura enveloped Kaleb, transforming his presence entirely. The aura seemed to corrode the air around him, like a venomous snake coiled and ready to strike. His eyes narrowed as he focused on the fifth-rank zombie, who was clearly a formidable and dangerous opponent.

Without hesitation, Kaleb lunged forward, his aura swirling around him like a living entity. The air crackled with tension as he collided with the fifth-rank zombie, the impact of their clash sending shockwaves through the surroundings. This was no ordinary confrontation—both Kaleb and the zombie were forces of nature, each one capable of unimaginable destruction.

The battle that ensued was fierce, with Kaleb’s purplish aura slicing through the eerie death aura emanating from the zombie. The intensity of their fight made it clear that neither side would back down easily.

On the other three sides of the city, the situation was equally dire. Each side had at least one fifth-rank zombie, and their appearance unleashed terror and chaos among the soldiers. The once orderly defence began to falter as these powerful undead beings wreaked havoc, their mere presence overwhelming the troops.

Apollo and Alyona found themselves in a similar predicament. They faced a levitating fifth-rank zombie whose death aura was so intense it seemed to darken the very air around it. The atmosphere grew colder, the aura of death pressing down on them like a suffocating blanket. The zombie’s eyes glowed with an eerie light, filled with malevolence that made it even more terrifying.

Seeing the dire situation, three grandmasters from Crimson City immediately sprang into action. One of them, with a firm and commanding voice, called out to Apollo and Alyona, "We’ll handle this fifth-rank zombie. You two focus on stopping the fourth-rank zombies."

Without wasting any time, the three grandmasters surrounded the towering fifth-rank zombie, their auras flaring as they prepared to engage the powerful zombie.

Their strategy was clear: contain the most dangerous threat while relying on Apollo and Alyona to deal with the remaining enemies.

As many fourth-rank zombies also appeared, to be exact, seven fourth-rank zombies came with the fifth-rank zombie.

Apollo and Alyona jumped into action without hesitation, knowing that every second counted. The seven fourth-rank zombies, a direct threat to the soldiers, had to be stopped immediately.

Apollo confronted four of the zombies, his ice aura flaring as he summoned deadly blades of ice infused with the Law of Ice. Each attack was precise and aimed to freeze and shatter the undead abominations.

On the other side, Alyona faced three of the zombies, her eyes glowing with the power of lightning. She unleashed destructive bolts that crackled with the Law of Lightning, each strike tearing through the zombies with devastating force.

The battlefield trembled under the intensity of their clashes, but the most ferocious combat raged between the three Crimson City grandmasters and the fifth-rank zombie. The air around them distorted with the overwhelming power of their confrontation, creating shockwaves that reverberated across the city.

The three of them surrounded the fifth-rank zombie and used some sort of secret skill to boost their strength many times, reaching the level of newly promoted Saint.

"Life Source Burning technique."

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The three burst with tremendous strength and fought with all their might, but the fifth-rank zombie was stronger than their expectations and was more powerful than some newly promoted saint, and the three grandmasters were being pushed even after using the secret technique.

"Hehe, enough of this struggle. Just quickly become my food."

Bang!

The fifth-rank zombie laughed darkly, its voice dripping with malice as it moved its hand in a swift, slicing motion through the air.

Slash!

Boom!

In an instant, a mysterious sword energy filled with the aura of death sliced through the space around it. The attack was devastating, cutting through the air with eerie precision. The three grandmasters were caught off guard, unable to fully defend against the attack. Two of them were severely injured, and another let out a cry of pain as the sword energy cleaved through his arm, severing it completely.

The battlefield was filled with shock and horror as the power of the fifth-rank zombie became painfully clear.

"Sword Aura!"

Apollo was surprised as this fifth-rank zombie was really strong, and he was also a swordsman who understood Sword Aura.

"This is the end."

Szzz...

A gigantic sword materialized above the sky, crackling with ominous energy. Its sheer size and power seemed to tear the very fabric of space around it. The air grew heavy with dread as the sword descended, poised to unleash its devastating force upon everything below.

It was aimed not only at the three grandmasters but also at the city’s defences, threatening to annihilate the wall and all who stood in its path.

"Damn!"

Apollo appeared as if he had teleported, instantly appearing in front of the descending sword. With a swift motion, he swung his Frost Star Sword, which erupted with equally powerful sword energy.

The two forces collided in a cataclysmic explosion, shattering the space around them and creating shockwaves that reverberated through the battlefield. The sheer force of the clash forced everyone back, sending many soldiers flying into the corners of the city.

The ground trembled as the impact of their energies continued to resonate, leaving the onlookers in awe of their immense power, except the Pussy king who wasn’t surprised by Apollo’s power and still calmly not caring caring about others killing zombies depending on his mood.

"Oh, it looks like there is a high-quality ingredient hidden among rotten ingredients." Seeing someone stop his attack Fifth-rank zombie, instead of feeling angry, became excited as he looked toward Apollo with fiery eyes.

But the three grandmasters and Alyona were the ones most surprised by the current situation, feeling a mix of relief and astonishment at Apollo’s strength.

"Hmm, food? You’re still thinking about that?" Apollo’s smile turned mysterious, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of excitement and anticipation that sent a shiver down everyone’s spine. Even the Fifth-Rank Zombie seemed to sense that something was off about this human.

"Come out," Apollo said, as his voice carrying an eerie calmness.

Instantly, a powerful and pure aura of death burst from within Apollo’s body, filling the air with oppressive energy. The eerie sound of pages turning echoed ominously, and a gruesome figure, covered in blood and radiating an intense death aura, materialized in the sky beside him.

"Roarrr..."
