Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Unique Awakened Zombie
"Huh?" Edward, no, the King felt sothing was off. There wasn’t a chance that he could mistake that smile for so form of twisted psychological pain.
His face distorted, literally manifesting into one of different expressions simultaneously to the point that it beca freakish to his subordinates who thought they were used to his oddities.
"What are you standing around for, you fucks! Bring
the zombie cure!" His anger shot up when he noticed the black veins spreading from his chest. The rate at which his veins darkened was faster than any infection he had ever seen, making him wonder what exactly Jayden infected him with.
Startled, every person quickly snapped out of their daze before scrambling to a room that was connected to the one they were in. With their panic seeping in, too many were hard pressed to get the cure at the sa ti, creating confusion within the other room, everyone getting in each other’s way.
"Goddamn it! MOVE!" His booming voice appeared within the stumbling crowd. Instinctively, his frustrated voice made them quick to respond, but the problem was that the area was still too crowded to move.
Boom!* But then a loud collision sounded on the opposite end of the room, a human sized hole was torn through the far wall. Dust and debris clouded the air, obscuring the figure that had been thrown through it. The scene should have brought the chaotic movent in the room to a halt, but before they could react, another body was thrown across the room.
"I said move!" It was then that everyone began to seize the initiative to get out of his way. Their horror at being the next wall decoration made them unaware of the distortions that were going on within their leader’s body. The King began to bulldoze his way through the people unfortunate enough to get out of the way, quickly reaching the contents of different loot that was acquired from the combined collaboration between them and their cooperative slaves.
The mont he saw the piles of zombie cures, he took one bottle after another, downing them in gulps. Although the others weren’t perceptive about his changes, how could he not? His body flinched so strongly that his balance tilted over, an extre pain course through his right arm, causing him to crush an empty vial with his grasp. He then noticed a weight within his shoulders that appeared suddenly, a weight that soon extended to his pained arm. The sensation was t with a physical change that left a traumatic shock to his heart. His arm was suddenly thicker, longer, and heavier, and with it ca an even stronger version of distortions within his arm. Not only his veins, but his muscles contorted ways that made his body feel as if sothing alive was moving inside.
With each second passing, the changes spread further. His shoulder bulged, his chest tightened as his veins throbbing from his chest thickened. For the first ti since becoming a King, he was afraid. His mind was gradually blurring, instead of being able to think, his thoughts beca instinctive acts of emotion. In this state, he grabbed at every vial within reach, throwing the entire vial into his mouth , not realizing he was able to widen past what was humanly natural. Glass shattered loudly within his jaws, his tongue and teeth being cut with the small sharp edges of shards and yet he continued to frantically devour them none the wiser.
He couldn’t understand what was happening, he was unable to process that the cure, which could’ve normally healed him if he were infected, had no effect on him now since he directly absorbed the infection into his core.
Not one of his subordinates had the courage to speak, nor to co to his aid amidst his painful and now disgruntled grunts. His body mutations that quickly escalated into making him into a nightmarish giant, alongside his early accolades of brutally killing his own people deviated any thoughts of help.
Their gazes wandered to each other silently, an unspeakable notion was said within their eyes. They all agreed to leave, no one there was certain that he was infected, but his transformation, alongside his paling figure that bordered a bluish grey further ascertained their thoughts when seeing how desperate he was to consu the cure for the zombie infection.
One by one, they began to work their way to the only door out. The King’s ragged breaths sounded over their footsteps, even from the other room they could still make out his back. The closer they got to the exit, the calr their hearts beca. But then a scene occurred that made their hearts almost completely stop. A face? No....three faces appeared within his back that were broader and wider than physically possible erged. The faces were stuck under his skin, their imprints fully visible, making it possible to make out the identities of the people that were absorbed in the past.
Those faces moved in sync, turning to their directions. In that one mont, the King’s grunts and unsatiated desire for the cure completely stopped. No one moved when they noticed the change.
"!" A collective gasp erupted from the masses the mont their supposed leaders’ head snapped in their direction.
"Lea.....ving...?" The voice that ca from the things lips was the trigger that disrupted their fear paralysis, jolting them to move.
The ground cracked, trembling the mont their leader began to move, sprinting towards them with the aid of his arms that pounded into the ground, further propelling him forward.
Fear of dying crept into his subordinates’ bodies, that fear spurred them to do sothing they never would have dared before.
A laser beam of fire pierced through among the crowd, hitting the King dead center in his chest. Scorching smoke rose from the attack, building as the beam continued to burn through. The attack was attempted to be followed up by other waves of projectiles, but no one would have believed that their leader was much faster than before, especially given his current size. But it wasn’t just because he was faster, it was also because of one of the many targets he had absorbed, a skill called "Kinetic Mastery
