Chapter 122: War
Late at night, the war broke out inside Field Villa.
On the third floor corridor of the chapel, Dorothy, who was hiding in a shadow, confirmed that Luer had been shot in the head and fell to the ground. Then, she led the five zombies that had been prepared in advance and rushed into the chapel at the same time, shooting at the remaining Bill and Fitch with guns, forcing them behind the bunker.
Dorothy's corpses broke into the chapel at the front, so Bill and Fitch were forced into the bunker by fire at the back of the chapel, very close to the ritual field array at the very end. In order to fight back against the enemies at the front, they all had their backs to the array. This scene was not accidental, but was specially designed by Dorothy.
Now, Dorothy only needs to release the control of one corpse, and then pull up the dead mentor on the ritual field. With Bill and Fitch now facing away from the ritual field, she can easily complete a backstab and capture the two, ending the raid and completing the battle.
However, when Dorothy tried to pull up her mentor's body, she was stunned.
The spiritual thread was not successfully connected, and the mentor's body did not meet the conditions to become a corpse puppet, which meant a very bad result... He might not be dead yet...
Sure enough, in Dorothy's corpse vision, she saw her mentor's dead body slowly stand up, and began to mutate all over his body. Black hair grew and his body began to swell. His face turned green, his mouth grew fangs, and his hands had claws, and he eventually turned into a two-meter-tall half-human, half-beast monster.
Dorothy knew that this was the "Beast Transformer", a black-level rank that was promoted from the "Shadow" as the secondary spirituality on the path of the "Cup". It was an extraordinary branch that transformed oneself into a wild beast, with hunting and devouring as the melody.
"Shit! How come that guy could stand up after being shot in the head? Aldridge never said that beastmen have this ability! Could it be some extraordinary item?" Dorothy, who was hiding in the dark, thought badly, and at this moment, Luer, who had just recovered and stood up and completed the beast transformation, had already started to act.
With a roar, Luer, who had transformed into a black-haired half-orc, rushed directly towards the shooting position of the corpse guards. A black shadow almost brushed past the bullets, and the beast-like Luer rushed in front of the guards in an instant, then waved his claws and flashed a few cold lights. Three corpse guards were instantly torn apart, and the tear was so big that it almost tore their bodies apart, and key parts such as bones, muscles, and spine were shattered, which immediately destroyed the corpses' ability to move.
The spirit of "Shadow" can easily attach to the weapon, making it sharper. Luer's claws also become as sharp as a blade because of the "Shadow" attached to them. Combined with the super physical strength provided by the "Cup", Luer's attack can easily tear the enemies in front of him into pieces.
"Teacher! You're back!"
Seeing this scene, Bill and Fitch shouted in joy, and before they could wait for Luer's response, another gunshot rang out.
“Bang!!”
Vanya, who was standing upstairs, pulled the trigger again and shot at the beast-like Luer. Although Luer's mental weakness had not yet been eliminated, he was already on guard and was no longer a target.
At the critical moment, Luer turned sideways and avoided being shot in the head again at the cost of being shot in the shoulder. Then he looked up and looked at Vanya who was holding a rifle upstairs with his cold and beast-like eyes, which scared Vanya.
"Eh! ! This is terrible! How did this guy suddenly stand up again! Didn't I hit him on the head just now?"
"The sniper is up there, a bitch from the church! Go up and kill her!"
"yes!"
Following Luer's order, Bill and Fitch dropped their guns and began to climb up the stairs quickly by climbing over the railings. When Luer was about to jump directly up, there was a sudden movement around them.
Three guards rushed into the chapel from outside the door, and together with the two remaining guards formed a five-man team. They rushed towards Luer with knives in hand, and their speed was extremely fast. A faint "cup" mark flashed on the forehead of each of them.
When Dorothy saw that Luer was going to go find Vanya, she immediately pulled up three more zombies from the zombie reserve outside, and put the two remaining zombies with the devouring talismans they originally had on them. They burned the last bit of energy in their bodies and rushed towards the beast-like Luer to delay his actions.
At this time, outside the chapel, the entire villa had been secretly cleaned up by Dorothy. The bodies of all the minions and guards were piled up outside the door. There were more than ten of them in total. These were Dorothy's reserve troops. Once there was a loss of manpower on the front line and a vacancy in control, she would immediately recruit a few more to fill the gap.
After being attacked by the beast, the physical strength of the corpses made a great leap. They rushed forward with the blades they carried with them to fight with Luer, and kept harassing him from all directions. Luer, who was dragged, looked at the scene in front of him and opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a sharp roar.
This is not an ordinary roar, this is the ability of the beastman, the roar of fear, which can inflict intense fear on the hearts of surrounding enemies through the roar, making them lose the courage to resist. The emotion of fear is one of the expressions of "Shadow" at the spiritual level.
Luer wanted to use fear to intimidate the enemies around him and force them into chaos, but it didn't have any effect. The guards still blocked his attack. This was because the enemies he faced were all zombies who were mentally dead and had no sense of fear at all.
"Are these... puppets? Hiss... I should have thought of it earlier... These things are not puppets, what else can they be... Damn... My head still hurts... We must make a quick decision..."
Luer thought like this, and he realized that his negative state of mental weakness was still deeply affecting his performance, to the point that his judgment was somewhat reduced.
Roaring, Luer waved his claws and fought with the corpse guards.
Under the support of the Soul Sigil, under the siege of five to one, under the influence of the opponent's negative mental state, and with constant reinforcements, Dorothy temporarily managed to hold back Lue with her army of zombies.
Dorothy herself is now in a state of high-intensity operation with her nerves extremely tense, operating five corpse dolls at the same time. This is already the limit of her current mental strength. In this state of full devotion, she can't even move at all. She can only hide behind a curtain on the third floor and concentrate on the operation.
Dorothy is currently able to hold Luer back, but there are more than one enemy. Bill and Fitch have quickly climbed up to the third floor following the previous gunshots to look for ambushers, and the only one who can stop them now is Vanya.
"This, this is coming up! I'm not ready yet!"
Looking at the two "Cup" Extraordinary people who quickly climbed up the stairs, Vanya couldn't help but clench her gun in panic.
