Julia and Faith stood outside the room, engaging in conversation.
“So, what now? She’s inside a magical cage. You can go inside at your will, but you can’t come out. That means baiting her out is out of the options. What should we do now?” Julia asked as she looked at Faith.
“Well, this only leaves two ways. Either we just blast down the whole room with magic or go all in with everyone we have right now,” Faith spoke.
“No, we can’t blast the room. If we blasted the room, we will never know the effects of that drug. If that drug started spreading through the kingdom, it will destroy everything. We will turn into monsters overnight,” Julia immediately spoke.
“Well, why don’t we first go and observe them if they are trapped inside a cage…?” Anon’s voice resounded from behind.
Both Julia and Faith turned around to look at Anon.
“Mr. Jule, are you eavesdropping on us?” Faith asked with a shocked expression.
“I might be,” Anon answered with a smile.
“Wait, he is right. If they are inside a cage, then we should go and observe them ourselves now,” Julia spoke.
“Well, okay,” Faith agreed.
“Soldiers, come,” Julia ordered.
Everyone started heading towards the basement, leaving only one guard and Mr. Freeman in the room.
As Anon’s senses were heightened, he smelled the disgusting odor of blood and rotting bodies coming from the basement immediately.
After walking down some more steps, everyone started smelling it.
“Did you smell that?” Faith asked as she looked at Anon.
“Oh, more than anything,” Anon replied as he observed the walls around the basement.
After walking down the basement, all of them stopped in front of a big metallic gate.
The outsides of the doors were lit up with two torches, each of them mounted on the opposite sides.
The doors were opened a little bit, and the smell coming from the room was so disgusting that some of the female soldiers immediately took out their handkerchiefs and covered their noses.
“That’s the Array line. It means that the things inside this room will not be able to cross through this line,” Julia spoke as she pointed towards a red line that was drawn near the metallic gate.
“Well, let’s open it. What are we waiting for?” Anon spoke from behind.
“Soldiers, open the doors,” Julia ordered.
“Yes, Ma’am.” Two soldiers immediately grabbed the door handles and opened up the gates. 𝘰𝑣𝘭.𝗇𝓔t
The view that was revealed from inside was beyond imagination and disgust.
It was built like a normal room from inside, but now the walls were covered in red blood, and elven meat pieces were sticking to the ceiling.
There were over 100 dead bodies lying on the floor, out of which some were eaten half, and some were only left with their skeletons. It’s as if someone just ate their meat right off their bones.
Gwaaah
Bhwaaaaahhh
Some of the soldiers immediately threw up as soon as the gates opened up.
In one corner of the room, four individuals were sitting, facing towards the walls, and they were constantly swinging their bodies back and forth.
Their bodies were rotten, and blue veins were popping on their arms and legs.
As soon as Anon looked at their bodies, his eyes opened up in surprise.
“What the actual fuck?” Anon murmured as he got curious and walked up to the front.
“Oi, Cunts. Look at me,” Anon shouted.
“Mr. Jule, what are you doing?” Faith asked with a confused expression.
“Umm… is something wrong?” Julia asked as she looked at Faith.
Anon immediately summoned a big iron knife in his hands and threw it towards a male elf that was sitting at the last.
Chk
The knife hit the male elf’s body, but instead of stabbing into his skin, it broke into thousands of pieces.
“Mr. Jule, what are you—” Faith tried to speak something but stopped as soon as she noticed the knife.
“Their skin is tough. What kind of monsters did they become? I have never seen such a thing,” Julia spoke as she looked at the broken knife in confusion.
Anon immediately went to the back of the crowd and…
‘Open the book of wisdom.’
[Opening the (Book Of Wisdom).]
[415 logs found. What do you want to look at?]
Suddenly two half-transparent windows popped up in front of Anon.
‘Show me the records of the zombie ogre tests.’
[Opening the Record of the Zombie Ogre Tests: Body Limit Test, Log No: 68]
[Metallic Sword: Failed]
[Copper Sword: Failed]
[Golden Sword: Failed.]
….
[Mithril Sword: Passed.]
“Well, they aren’t reacting to anything. What should we do? We tried screaming at them, we threw stuff at them, and even showed them blood, but they just won’t react,” Julia spoke as she looked at Faith.
“Well, that leaves only one option. We have to go ins—”
Before Faith could’ve said anything else, she observed that Anon has come back with another shining dagger in his hands.
“Mr. Jule, we have already tried throwing swords and stuff at them; it’s impossible to get their attention with them. They aren’t even receiving any damage from all this stuff. I say we kill all of them here and now. If they got out of this room, they will create chaos everywhere,” Faith spoke as she looked at Julia.
“Get back…” Anon spoke with a very serious expression as he looked at the individuals sitting inside the room.
“Oi, Can’t you listen to what your chief commander just said? These weapons can’t hurt them…” Ella shouted.
“I hope so too…” Anon spoke as he threw the mithril dagger at the same male elf with all his power.
Chhhhk
But this time… The dagger got stabbed directly into the male elf’s arm.
He immediately stopped swinging his body and turned his eyes towards Anon; they were white… cold white as if some type of ghost has possessed his body.
Ghhhrrrrrrrawwwwww
He growled loudly as he ran towards Anon with incredible speed. Such speed can’t be seen in a normal elf.
As soon as he reached at the boundary of the gate, he was immediately stopped by the defensive Array around the room and everyone looked at the monster from a closer distance.
“Zombie…” Anon murmured in a low tone.
