Chapter 26: One Man Army!
"Come forth, Black Arachnid..."
As soon as the child muttered the words, the third page of the book suddenly expanded by a significant amount. Instantly expanding by 5 meters in length and 3.5 meters in width.
Swirling of white and black smoke resurfaces above the page, creating the atmosphere of a portal to the other world in Leo's mind.
Soon, after 5 seconds of waiting, a crisp clicking sound resounded in the swirling smoke, followed by 5 meters-long sharp black legs breaking from the churning smoke.
This...
Not long after, another leg surfaces from the swirling smoke, followed by another one... And one.
Click...
Click...
Soon, after 30 seconds of clicking sounds, the body of the Black Arachnid finally resurfaces from the third page... Finally materializing to the world.
In an instant, the thick seemingly metallic mandibles of the 6.5-meter-tall Black Arachnid created a loud deafeaning sound as it surveyed the zombies in the distance with its 8 small beady eyes. On its back, an automatic machine gun could be seen, rotating at low speed.
Leo who was floating meters behind, couldn't help but slap his imaginary forehead upon seeing the Black Arachnid... To be exact, upon seeing the little machine gun on its back.
It's already cool... Yet the gun suddenly appears.
"Do children are always the same? I remember back then I also loved adding guns to my drawings."
[ Black Arachnid (5:59) - Level 15 ]
The child upon seeing the arachnid resurface, finally closed his "SketchBook", showing a proud look on his pale face.
The sketchbook, feeling that its purpose is already served quickly vanishes into the thin void.
Slightly gasping for air, the child commanded his little army and the black arachnid beside him.
Attack!
With a low shout, the doddle army and the arachnid, rush toward the zombies in the distance.
Creating an image of a black and white army.
Meow?
"No, kitty... You should protect me, OK?" The child weakly said before he petted the white head of the cartoonish cat. Staring at his army he revealed a little smile on his face.
...
The Black Arachnid, Due to its high level and speed, instantly closed the distance between It and the zombie.
With a loud clanging sound of its mandibles, the arachnid raised its front sharp legs piercing the body of the zombies on the back of the hordes.
Swing...
Splack...
Not done with its attack the Black Arachnid released an audible cry as the little machine gun on its back instantly fired toward the surrounding zombies, quickly creating holes in the zombie's body in the short distance.
Bang!
Bang!
Roar!
After killing a couple of zombies, the arachnid heard a low groan in the distance.
Raising its 8 beady dark eyes to find the origin of the roar, the arachnid instantly saw the zombies turn their heads toward it in unison.
With a unison groaning, the zombie as if hearing a command, madly rushed toward the black arachnid location.
Bang!
Groan...
Ratata...tata...
Sounds of battle echoed in the apocalyptic road, as dozens of stick armies began attacking the zombies in the distance. Although they are quite weak, their weapons could still leave a shallow wound on the zombie's body.
Not losing out on the battle, the zombies began to counterattack using their strong and tough bodies.
One of the level 8 zombies raises his sharp hands as it pierces the thin body of the stickman, instantly killing it.
Destroying the body of the stickman, the level 8 zombie planned to attack another one when suddenly a consecutive sound of a machine gun entered its ears.
Bang! Bang!
With a thud, the level 8 zombie fell to the ground, having a huge bullet hole in its head.
Leo floated above the ground, looking at the chaos that was currently happening in the distance in awestruck.
Shifting his gaze to the hiding child and white cat in the distance, his eyes couldn't help but reveal brilliance.
"It's a one-man army!"
Feeling his imaginary blood boil in excitement, Leo plunges toward the ground, silently appearing in the middle of the battle.
With a low shout, Leo activated his "Wist of Poison" that he had just upgraded to level 3 which cost him 600 horror points!
In an instant, after activating the skill, wisps of green smoke silently spread in the distance as it entered the body of zombies quietly.
As for the army of the child, due to being made of non-flesh, the skill didn't affect them in any way.
Although Leo wanted to activate his "Mist of Illusion" skill, he decided not to since it might affect the army of the child. It might also disrupt the Art's momentum.
Silently summoning his bronze knuckle, Leo began reaping the life of the injured zombies, also wanting to gain extra experience points!
With how many the number of zombies in the distance, Leo is not afraid that the child can't increase his Level to level 20 even though he stole some kills!
Thud!
Thud!
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon killing a level 9 zombie! ]
+5 Exp points!
+150 horror points!
[ Congratulations upon killing a level 8 zombie! ]
Ding...
Ding...
Countless notifications rang inside his head as he reaped the lives of zombies in the surroundings. It's too many to the point that he decided to ignore the sound.
As he was about to manipulate his bronze knuckle to kill the injured zombie meters away from him, a sudden loud crashing sound resounded in the distance.
Boom!
Shifting his gaze, Leo stared at the Black Arachnid in the distance in shock, he noticed that one of its legs got twisted in an unimaginable way.
[ Black Arachnid (3:43) - Level 15 ]
[ Armored Zombie - Level 16 ]
This!
Squinting his eyes, Leo saw that ten meters away from the arachnid, a 2-meter-tall zombie with green metallic skin unhurriedly walked toward the direction of the arachnid.
Every time it walked, the solid concrete below it cracked slightly, indicating the unimaginable weight of the zombie.
This is bad...
Leo thought, quickly moving toward the metallic zombie in the distance, wanting to help the Black Arachnid.
If he let the metallic zombie kill the Arachnid, then this party would be over in an instant...Instantly cutting his increasing exp points!
Silently creeping beside the metallic zombie, Leo focused most of his soul power on his throat as he opened his imaginary mouth widely.
After 5 seconds of constricting the soul power on his throat...
WAAAhhh!
A deafening audible sound instantly pierced through the metallic zombie's head. Directly damaging its soul...
Seeing the metallic zombie mysteriously pause on his step, the Black Arachnid didn't let the chance slip off. With a clicking sound, the machine gun on its back consecutively fired toward the zombie's head.
Clang!
Clang!
Unfortunately, the bullets didn't even leave a mark on the metallic zombie's body.
Knowing that the gun wouldn't affect the other party, the Arachnid raises his sharp long feet penetrating the zombie's body.
Ding!
In an instant, the sharp feet of the Aranchid pierce deep within the body of the metallic zombie!
