Chapter 62

  { Zombies }

  The Upper World.

  The Forgotten City.

  " Is this all you have ? " the man was annoyed.

  He was in his seventies with a hunched back and a miserable face.

  " Your shop is not worth more than this " said a middle-aged man who carried an honest smile yet a face that did not retreat , and it was Ian in a normal appearance.

  As for what he was doing here , naturally he was renting this shop.

  Ian did not possess many Energy Stones , as they rarely dropped from low-level monsters , only level three and above had higher chances , yet they were still hard to gather since killing level three monsters was extremely difficult , let alone anything stronger , ( to kill one , Ian had consumed a Formation Banner enhanced with high craftsmanship and rare materials ).

  And until now he could not engrave another banner due to the costs and the rarity of materials , nor was there another way to kill a second level three monster , as for Energy Stone mines , they were targeted by cities and main cities alike , heading toward one was a declaration of war on a city which meant death without exception , unless one possessed peerless luck and stumbled upon an unused one.

  Ian owned only a few of them , yet he handed only half to the man , keeping the rest for himself.

  " This is far too little " the old man was annoyed.

  " Old man , your shop is worn down and located far from the population , I am doing you a favor by giving you these stones " Ian said while negotiating.

  " No .. raise the price " the old man insisted.

  Ian stared at him and ignored him , took the stones back and moved toward another nearby shop , the old man was shocked and hurried after him , but Ian ignored him.

  A single stone meant this man could live a full month decently , and Ian was about to give him seven , yet he refused hoping for a higher price , and now everything was gone.

  Ian headed to another shop whose owner was a blind woman , he gave her the stones and she agreed.

  " From now on this is your shop " the blind woman said " do you need labor ? ".

  " Of course ".

  " Rose , you will work with the sir " the old woman said and left.

  " Hail the sir " the girl bowed , she wore a maid’s outfit and her face was beautiful , not greatly so , yet she was still a fine bride.

  " Clean the entire shop , I want it ready by morning " Ian ordered and left.

  Rose bowed " As you command ".

  From afar the old man watched them , his blood boiling , then in the end he sighed and left , greed had overtaken him and made him lose everything.

  Their shop was in a remote area no one would come to , which made the offer reasonable , and moreover it was every month , meaning the old man would no longer suffer malnutrition again , and could even hire a maid like Rose to take care of him , but now everything was gone.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  Ian left , heading toward another place , - it was time to catch the first fish -

  But at that very moment a message arrived.

  ** Your follower Noa has died from the Curse of Death **

  Ian’s body shook for a moment , then he sighed – it’s fine , although I wanted to deal with the curse , it seems I will have to let him die and then awaken him with the Triple Lotus -

  But the bad news did not stop there.

  ** A new race has been born due to the Curse of Death , the zombies , and their goal is to kill Titan **

  And the disasters continued.

  ** World Announcement , Lord Titan has created a new race ( zombies ) whose sole purpose is to destroy Titan and kill its lord **

  ** World Announcement , Lord Titan has created a new race ( zombies ) whose sole purpose is to destroy Titan and kill its lord **

  ** World Announcement , Lord Titan has created a new race ( zombies ) whose sole purpose is to destroy Titan and kill its lord **

  Ian’s expression froze as the world entered a state of massive shock.

  He created a new race to kill him.

  This is terrifying.

  It seems Lord Titan is dreadful.

  No wonder he rose so quickly , but in the end he will fall foolishly.

  He is an idiot.

  How did he even create a race in the first place.

  ** Due to the curse , rebirth for the Zombie King ( Noa ) is no longer possible , he can neither die nor live , his strongest and most important obsession will be to kill Lord Titan with his own hands **

  Imposssssssssible , Ian screamed in his mind as his limbs froze.

  >>>>>>>>>>>.

  World of Death.

  Noa stood on the deck of the ship.

  His smile was calm like the vast ocean he was gazing at , this ocean was the largest ocean in existence almost , the Yellow River as some called it , or the Ocean of Hell as others named it , but to Noa it had another name.

  The River of Peace !.

  " I am sorry , my lord " Noa smiled , and a teardrop fell onto the waters below , it did not mix with them , instead it turned into a radiant precious gem , sinking into the depths of this vast ocean and disappearing within it forever.

  Noa’s body turned entirely into bones , his flesh fell away to either side as if a man were taking off his clothes , the Titan armor and sword he once took pride in wearing lay discarded on the ground like rotten dough , then the skeleton ( Noa ) threw itself into the River of Peace.

  >>>>>>

  After a while.

  On the shore of the island.

  A group of Iron Turtles moved in coordinated motions , they were 12 at level two , with defense equivalent to level three , but unlike the turtles we know , these turtles were not cowardly , they knew how to use their teeth to tear metal apart , let alone flesh and bone.

  This was in addition to their iron armor ( the shell ) which was difficult even for beasts / and different races to break , a natural weapon that stood against the fiercest weapons.

  From the water.

  The water began to churn on the surface and the turtles quickly entered a combat formation.

  Noa emerged from the river , the same scene , the same appearance , but slightly smaller , his eyes like bloody gems and his hair completely white , this was the new Noa , the Zombie King , the newly created race.

  Noa reached the shore , naked and without clothes , but his body was like rock , with no reproductive organs or anything suggesting youth aside from the handsome and sharp lines of his face.

  Rar.

  The turtles roared at him threateningly.

  Noa smiled and approached them.

  Bite.

  One of the turtles shot forward at terrifying speed , reaching Noa in an instant and biting into his neck.

  Crack.

  The turtle’s teeth , stronger than weapons of the same rank , shattered into broken glass , Noa grabbed it , squeezed , and tore its shell and flesh apart with a single grip.

  Swallow.

  Noa lifted the turtle and poured the feral blood into his mouth , " Disgusting ! " Noa said in a voice as cold as ice and as sharp as a blade.

  The King of Death.

  The King of Death had been born.

  And his path was to kill Ian.

  Noa moved toward the remaining turtles , who screamed at him with both rage and fear , but before this monster ( Noa ) they became like paper.

  Noa ripped the turtle’s shell apart with his hands , grabbed the green body inside , and threw it into his mouth.

  His mouth expanded dozens of times and in a single bite devoured the iron turtle.

  The entire group of 12 was slaughtered , and Noa stood there irritated , " Disgusting monsters of death , when will the humans come ?! " then Ian’s image appeared in his mind , " especially the main course ! ".
