Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3117: MethodEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Bottom level of the maze.

Nasir studied the magic array carved into the rock wall for a while, his brows furrowed tightly, revealing a bitter expression.

It was over.

The alchemy magic array’s level was too high—it had already reached the rule level, far beyond what he could possibly decipher.

Whatever could seal and defend against the evil god’s breakthrough also sealed him along with it.

”Chi, chi chi...”

Suddenly, a sound came from behind. Nasir’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the evil fetus slowly gathering on the ground behind them.

”Chi, chi chi...”

Rotting flesh expanded and contracted slightly, and yellow eyeballs attached to the meat continuously opened and closed.

The moment he made eye contact with the eyeballs, Nasir felt a wave of irritation rise from deep within his heart.

Not good!

It was a mental-type spell.

Nasir quickly forced himself to look away and swallowed a pill, focusing his mind to guard the sea of consciousness. He warned, ”Fang Heng, be careful. This thing seems to have awakened.”

”Mm.”

Fang Heng also sensed the illusion effect within the eyeballs, but his omniscient eyes had a very high immunity to illusions. He only experienced a brief moment of disorientation before completely resisting the negative effects.

Even so, Fang Heng didn’t dare to be careless.

Troublesome.

The evil fetus was still some distance away, and theoretically, the farther the distance, the weaker the illusion effect.

Illusion-based effects were usually completely ineffective on him, but this time it had caused even a brief disorientation.

If the evil fetus continued to approach, with so many eyes launching concentrated illusion attacks, he too might fall under their negative effects.

[Hint: The player is affected by a negative coercion effect. Agility attribute is partially reduced.]

”Chi, chi chi, chi chi...”

As the eyeballs on the rotting flesh continuously opened and closed, blood vessels extended from the meat began to twist and writhe, pulling out from the surrounding space.

Dark shadows began to drift from the massive body of rotting flesh.

The shadows gathered and slowly approached the two of them in the corner of the cave.

It was over!

The evil fetus had awakened!

Seeing this, Nasir immediately broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

Just resisting the negative effects from the illusion already consumed a tremendous amount of his energy—he had no spare strength left to fight.

Besides, the cavern wasn’t large, and most of it was occupied by the evil fetus. The space left for them to dodge was very limited.

The dark tentacles advanced toward the two at a slow pace, but they carried a chilling power that made Nasir feel an instinctive dread.

”Fang Heng, brother, looks like we’ll have to risk everything.”

Nasir glanced at Fang Heng, intending to say something more, when he suddenly froze.

Huh?

Nasir noticed that Fang Heng didn’t seem to be affected by the illusion or negative effects from the evil fetus at all. He stood there, looking straight at the creature, and suddenly raised his hand.

”Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!”

Elemental spheres of various kinds condensed and shot out toward the dark tentacles forming around the evil fetus.

Huh?!

The dark tentacles and the elemental spheres seemed to exist in different dimensions—when they touched, there was no reaction, and the spheres passed right through!

”Boom! Boom boom boom boom!”

The elemental spheres exploded on the mountain-sized rotting flesh, blasting large, bloody wounds into its surface.

The small pieces of exploded flesh fell to the ground and immediately corroded the surface into small black pits.

These wounds were insignificant for the massive body of the evil fetus.

”Gurgle gurgle gurgle...”

The evil fetus let out a series of gurgling sounds, and the wounds on its surface quickly healed.

Fang Heng’s face became more serious.

Don’t be fooled by those ordinary elemental spheres—they were backed by his grandmaster-level elemental science and strong mental power, making them extremely powerful. Even high-tier warriors would be seriously injured if hit directly.

”Chi, chi chi...”

The dark shadows continued to creep toward them.

”Fall back.”

Seeing Fang Heng’s attack fail, Nasir retreated down the narrow passage they had come from.

However, the dark tentacles had already locked onto the two of them and continued to spread toward them.

Fortunately, the tentacles moved slowly.

Nasir’s face was grim. He pressed his palms together and quickly condensed a mark in front of him, then slammed it onto the ground.

”Buzz...”

A defensive light screen activated, covering the two of them inside.

But in the next moment, the slowly spreading dark tentacles completely ignored the light screen and passed through it almost instantly, continuing to chase the two.

It was over!

Nasir’s expression changed drastically.

He had nothing left.

He had no idea what these tentacles were, but none of his techniques worked on them.

The only option would be to attack the evil fetus directly—but that thing was terrifying. Just looking at it caused severe illusion effects, let alone launching a direct attack.

What should he do?

Nasir felt cold all along his back.

He was preparing to close his eyes and wait for death when suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

What?

Nasir looked back and saw Fang Heng condensing a mark in front of him. His aura suddenly changed.

Golden light poured from Fang Heng’s body.

Then, a holy barrier rose and enveloped the two of them.

Nasir looked like he had just seen something unimaginable and stared at Fang Heng intently.

”You...”

Before he could ask anything, Nasir turned back and saw the dark tentacles touching the holy barrier.

”Chi, chi chi chi...”

Immediately, the holy barrier emitted a series of crackling sounds.

The tentacles quickly vaporized, releasing pale green smoke!

They seemed to have suffered severe damage and recoiled sharply.

Realizing something was off about the holy barrier, the tentacles retreated a bit and then tried to approach again, slowly brushing against the barrier.

”Chi! Chi chi!!!”

But every time they got close to the holy barrier, they were repelled and forced back.

The shadow tentacles were blocked!

It worked!

Nasir was overjoyed and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fang Heng also let out a small breath of relief.

The evil fetus was bizarre.

Just as he had guessed, the shadow tentacles were similar to some kind of faith-based entity. Using sacred studies that drew on the power of faith was the most effective way to deal with them.

Nasir looked at Fang Heng and whispered, ”Brother Fang Heng, how did you learn the techniques of the God Clan?”

”Hm? The God Clan?”

Seeing Fang Heng’s expression, Nasir seemed to misunderstand something. He placed a finger to his lips, as if sealing them, and said seriously, ”I understand. You did it to save us. I swear on my life—I’ll never speak of it.”

Was sacred study a technique of the God Clan?

Fang Heng frowned even more, finding it increasingly strange.

Hadn’t they already determined earlier that the Holy Court had no connection to the God Clan?
