Chapter 279: A Little Exaggerated

Just as Henry was observing the battlefield, he suddenly noticed that behind the zombies, there was yet another group of zombies that had not gone forward to attack. Instead, this group of zombies was just standing there, as if they were waiting for a command. Quite curious, Henry decided to check the power level of these zombies.

[Mutant barbed tongue zombie

Power level: Level 3 silver rank

...]

[Long-nailed mutant zombie

Power level: Level 4 silver rank

...]

As he looked at the stats of the zombies, Henry was a little surprised when he realized that all of them were actually mutant zombies.

Well, looking at the posture at which the zombies were standing in, it was clear that they were not normal zombies. But still, there were a few zombies that were standing just like ordinary zombies, but after looking at information about them, Henry realized that the zombies were actually mutant ones.

Henry squinted his eyes when he realized that all of them were actually at the silver rank. There was none of them that was below the silver rank, and the one that was at the lowest level was at the second level of the silver rank.

If even these were being controlled, that meant that the one that was controlling them was definitely possessing greater capabilities. It was either a person who possessed a special ability that was capable of controlling the zombies, or there was a high level zombie that had already developed intelligence, and was the one that was controlling everything from behind the scene.

With that information in mind, Henry began looking even more cautiously in the surrounding areas. He was not the only one considering that everyone on top of the wall was also observing the zombies that were standing behind.

Their expressions became solemn when they noticed that all the zombies that were at the back were at the silver rank. That implied that they were at the same level as the ones that were on top of the wall. But still, the number of the zombies was higher as compared to the number of people that were on top of the wall.

Even Vincent who had been calm all this while was having a serious expression on his face as he looked at the zombies. At the same time, he was observing the battle that was ongoing below the wall.

In his mind, he was hoping that the people inside the territory were going to bring back up as soon as possible. There was no need for them to wait until these zombies killed several people for backup to arrive.

As for the battlefield below, due to the fact that the people of the territory were defending, they were holding an advantage. At the same time, since this place was experiencing several battles, twice a week, the members of the territory had already formed strategies that they were using.

The number of zombies that were getting killed as the time moved on drastically increased. But of course, not only the zombies were being killed, but even humans were getting killed one after the other.

This time, the zombies were completely different from the very last time that this group of people had experienced a fight with them. At that time, the zombies simply attacked. As long as a person was in front of them, they would swam him or her, before biting or scratching them.

But now, it was as if the zombies had formed a strategy. They were attacking in pairs. Each person was facing two zombies at the same time. There were even others that were facing more zombies at the same time.

In case a person managed to eliminate a single zombie, another zombie would come to replace the zombie that had been killed. This was something that was creating a lot of pressure on the people who were fighting below the wall.

"Those on top of the wall, you can start attacking now. But make sure that as you attack, you are careful that you don’t injure our people. At the same time, conserve as much strength as you can, to make sure that during the time that we will be fighting against those zombies standing at the furthest end, you will have some energy to be able to resist them." At this moment, Vincent suddenly instructed.

This made Henry raise his brows a little. It seemed that this guy was not that cold-hearted at all. Since Vincent had already noticed that the number of people that were getting killed below was increasing, he had decided that they had to be helped.

So, if the people on the wall began attacking, that implied that the casualties on the zombies side would increase drastically. But they had to save as much energy as they could considering that this was not the final battle.

Henry did not say anything. But instead, he looked at the zombies below. At this moment, he was definitely not going to show his full strength. He was sure that the moment that he released his full strength, the majority of the people might end up getting hurt because they were in the range of his attack.

As soon as Vincent gave the order, a little bit of the 40 people on top of the wall began taking action. It was just that out of these 40 people, only those that possessed the professions that were capable of attacking from a long distance were the ones that were going to attack now.

As for those that were good at close combat, they were going to be the vanguard during the time that the final battle would be happening.

Raising one of his hands, Henry summoned a fireball. This fireball was almost red in color, although there were several areas that possessed the yellow flames.

The temperatures in the surrounding areas close to Henry suddenly rose up. Those that were a distance away from him, felt the temperatures suddenly rising.

They looked towards Henry with a surprise in their eyes. Initially, they had been seeing Henry on top of the wall, but no matter how many times they tried to see through him, they could not see any information about him.

So, they were quite curious about his current power level. So, the moment that he began taking action, they were all attracted towards him.

But, it was not as if he was the only one who was taking action. Olivia who was standing on Henry’s left had also began summoning several ice spears. The moment that she began summoning them, the temperatures around her also suddenly reduced.

The collision of the heat and the cold air suddenly made steam to begin rising in the air. Due to ice manipulation, the temperatures of the ice that was being manipulated by Olivia were lower as compared to any ice mage.

As for the fire that was being controlled by Henry, there was nobody whose fire could compare with his in terms of heat intensity.

After summoning the fireball, Henry immediately launched it towards the furthest end of the zombies. That was the location where the zombies had not interacted with humans yet.

As he launched the fireball, Henry made sure that he controlled his strength. He did not use much energy in his body when he was launching that fireball. That was just to make sure that he did not expose his full strength, while at the same time, he avoided any friendly fire.

Brrrrh!

The sound of the fireball that was burning in the air immediately attracted the attention of those that were fighting below. And although the fireball was flying several meters above them, they could feel that the temperatures around them were also rising.

They were not the only ones who were attracted by the sound that was being produced by the fireball, but instead, even the zombies looked up for a moment, before they continued attacking.

And when he noticed this, Henry confirmed that there was definitely somebody that was controlling the zombies. Normally, the zombies would be attracted by the sound. So, for them to look up, that implied that they had been attracted by the sound that was being produced by the fireball.

But the moment that they looked up, they froze for a split second, before they finally paid attention to the battlefield. That split second was enough to inform Henry that he was right about his assumption.

Booom!

A huge explosion occurred behind the zombies. Those that were fighting against the zombies were quite a distance away from where the fireball had exploded at. But still, they could feel the hot wave of air that brushed past them as the shockwave was being produced by the explosion.

As for the zombies that were directly hit by the fireball, none of them was left alive. They were either burned to ashes, or the flesh on their bodies was banned away, leaving only bones behind.

The place where the fireball had landed was immediately cleared of all the zombies that had congregated in that place. At the same time, a deep crater was created in that place, with the ground cracking.

All those that were on top of the wall and had been paying attention to the attack that was launched by Henry were completely dumbfounded. They were not the only ones considering that even Henry was also surprised.

This time, as he attacked, he made sure that he used less than 5% of his full strength. But in the end, he had not expected that less than 5% was capable of doing so much damage. It looked so exaggerated.

Just as the group of people were wondering what power level Henry was in, several ice spears suddenly launched into the air, bringing with it cold temperatures that cooled down the air that was heat up by Henry’s fireball.
