Chapter 944: Zombies
Sage wasnt sure what Count Voctem hoped to accomplish with these empowered zombies. They werent instantly defeated by the First Light, but they still werent very powerful. He could send them flying with a single punch and with just a little more effort cleave them apart. After knocking a few more of them back he saw the first zombies he hit had recovered. The severed arm was collected and pressed up against the shoulder. A green light flashed and the limb was reattached. They were pretty easy for him to deal with, but after a few moments of fighting he realized what was going on.
They came at him only one or two at a time, and while they were easily handled the others behind would support them. They would try to catch the ones he sent flying or gather the body parts he severed so they could be reattached more quickly. Holding themselves back and fighting one at a time gave them no chance of winning, but it extended the time it took to beat them. This terrible tactic was used in action movies constantly, to make the hero look good by beating up huge groups of foes, but it was also a horrible idea if you actually wanted to win. Instead of overwhelming someone with numbers you were just trying to tire them to death.
In this case, it seemed Count Voctem wanted to win by attrition. By the time he beat up two or three of them, another one or two would have already finished recovering and returned to the fight. They ran from him whenever he rushed into the group, spreading out to minimize how fast he could slice all the limbs from them. Even if he stabbed his bare hand into their bodies, it didnt seem to have any additional effect, so chopping them into pieces seemed the most effective at disabling them, but that was also pretty useless when the other zombies could pick up the limbs and help reassemble their allies.
Glancing back over to the Count, Sage saw him place a large circle and symbols onto the ground, laying down some sort of small formation. Then he released a bunch of floating candles into the air, some of them made of black wax and others red. These candles spontaneously lit on fire and floated through the air, slowly circling around him. At the same time, he started doing strange motions that werent quite like the hand seals that Sage knew and pouring that blackish green Qi into the formation. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Will it be what I think itll be?
Sage waited to see a pale faced fanger walk out of the coffin, but he was extremely disappointed by the result. Instead of a thin and pale person, the occupant of the coffin was large and olive skinned. After stepping out, it was also apparent this woman was extremely muscular. Her biceps were just as thick as her thighs and after stepping out, she reached back into the coffin and drew out an axe that was nearly as tall as she was. The blade was just as wide as her shoulders and it only barely fit into the box behind her, but it had a sweeping crescent shape reminiscent of bats wings. She was garbed in a much more primitive style than Voctem or Sage was. The cloth she wore was rougher, more like yarn rather than threads. It was decorated with stone beads and she had feathers woven into her braided hair.
After stepping out and picking up her huge axe, she lifted it into the air and then leaned the head of it back over her shoulder. Surprisingly, there was no sign of rotten or discolored skin like the other zombies had. Sage was curious if it was because of the coffin or some other complicated process. This also raised the question, was this woman even dead? She stared over at where Sage was battling with the zombies and waited as Count Voctem swallowed a healing pill and then picked up his scythe. The fruits on the tree above him continued to grow but this time he stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with the large woman. The two of them carried their large slashing weapons and started to advance towards Sage.
Is that the connection? Similar fighting styles? Interesting.
