Chapter 107: Finishing All Apex Zombies
From the corner of her eye, Isha noticed Arjun had arrived and saved Neha and Vikrant, Jas was covering and protecting Raghav, and Pooja had already finished her fight and saved Imran. For a brief mont, relief passed through her eyes.
’Good... they’re holding...’ She turned her focus back to the Wall Breaker.
Its severed arm had fully regenerated, thick, grotesque. Its weapon arm was already glowing faintly, preparing to fire.
Isha’s expression hardened as her aura surged again. Green energy wrapped around her body, denser than before, while her clawed gauntlets reford and their blades extended sharply.
The ground cracked as she dashed forward, faster and stronger than before. Her blade struck cleanly. "SHHHHK!!!"
This ti, it connected. A deep cut tore across its torso, and dark fluid burst out.
The Wall Breaker staggered slightly, but only for a mont. It countered instantly, its massive arm swinging toward her.
Isha blocked, but the force pushed her back, her feet sliding across the ground. She moved again, faster now, aiming for joints and weak points.
"SHHK!! SHHK!! SHHK!!" Multiple strikes landed. Cracks ford, and pieces of armor chipped away.
But it didn’t fall or slow down; instead, the Wall Breaker changed, stopping its dodging and retreating as it simply stood there, watching.
Isha noticed imdiately, "...Planning sothing." She attacked again, but this ti it didn’t avoid the strike. It took the hit.
Her blade cut deep into its side, and at that exact mont, its weapon arm locked onto her.
"BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!" A rocket fired at point-blank range.
Isha’s eyes widened as she reacted instantly. Her aura surged outward, forming a full defensive barrier around her.
"Shield—!"
A dense white do ford around her. The rocket hit.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!"
A massive explosion engulfed everything. The ground shattered as shockwaves spread in all directions, and dust, fire, and debris swallowed the battlefield.
For a mont, nothing could be seen. Then cracks started appearing on her shield and broke. It shattered completely, fragnts of energy scattering into the air. From within the explosion, a figure was thrown out.
"THUD—!" Isha hit the ground hard, rolling several tis before finally stopping.
Silence followed. Her aura flickered, unstable. Her armor was damaged, and blood was visible at the corner of her lips.
She tried to push herself up, but her body didn’t respond imdiately. The impact had gone through.
In the distance, the Wall Breaker stood unmoved, its weapon arm still smoking.
And that sa broken laugh echoed across the battlefield. "Khrr... khh... HA... HA...!!"
---
Near the wall, only around five hundred zombies remained, and the elites were almost gone. But that didn’t matter anymore, because the real danger still stood, the Wall Breaker and the remaining Apex Zombies.
What truly shook them, however, was sothing else. Isha, their captain, was injured.
"...Captain..."
Ayesha’s voice lowered as she continued firing, her rhythm breaking for a mont. Deepak tightened his grip on his weapon. "...Damn it..." Even he, who rarely showed emotion, looked tense.
Vikram saw it. He saw Isha lying on the ground, injured, and sothing snapped inside him.
"I’m going."He stepped forward, ready to jump, but two hands stopped him. Sana and Kavya held him firmly.
"Why?" Vikram asked sharply. "Let go."
"Don’t worry," Sana said quickly. "She’s our captain. Even if she’s injured, she won’t fall so easily."
Kavya nodded beside her. "She’s the strongest. You don’t need to interfere."
But those words were only half true. They weren’t lying, but they weren’t fully confident either, because deep down, they were worried too.
They didn’t know Vikram’s power, only that he had awakened today, which ant unstable, untrained, and unpredictable. And the plant summons behind him, to them, looked like toys, not sothing that could survive this battlefield.
If he went, he might die instantly. He was the captain’s most precious person. They couldn’t risk it, not even a little.
So they held him tighter. Vikram’s jaw clenched, his eyes locked on Isha, on the battlefield, on the danger ahead.

Pooja saw it, Isha falling, injured. For a brief mont, her smile disappeared.
"...You..." She lowered her head slightly as the flas around her began to change. They were no longer wild or playful. They turned violent.
The Armored Colossus stepped forward again, its heavy body shaking the ground with each step.
It raised its arm, ready to finish the fight, but before it could move. A massive wave of fire struck it head-on, forcing it to stagger back for the first ti.
Pooja appeared in front of it, her eyes burning with anger. "...You dare...?" Her voice was low and cold.
The Colossus roared and charged, bringing its massive fist down.
Pooja didn’t dodge. She raised her hand and stopped the attack, flas wrapping tightly around her arm.
The impact shook the ground, but she didn’t move at all. "...Now you don’t look so big."
Her flas spread across its arm, burning through the cracks in its armor as they began to glow red.
The Colossus tried to pull back, but she grabbed it tightly. "Going sowhere?"
It swung its other arm, but she blasted it away instantly. She stepped closer, and murmured, "Burn Core."
Her hand struck its chest. Flas exploded inside its body, making it shake violently as cracks spread across its armor.
But it didn’t fall. It roared and tried to push her away, still resisting.
"...Still standing?" Pooja smiled again, but this ti it wasn’t playful. She stepped back and raised both hands as flas gathered between them, compressing rapidly. The fire beca denser, hotter, and unstable, causing the air around her to distort.
"Then let’s end this properly."
The Colossus charged again in one final attempt.
Pooja thrust both hands forward. "Inferno Collapse."
A massive explosion consud the Colossus, the flas crushed inward, destroying its core completely. For a mont, it stood still.
Then cracks spread across its body, and light burst out from within.
Its entire body collapsed, shattered, and burned into pieces.
Pooja stood there, breathing slightly heavier as her flas slowly cald.
Then she turned and looked toward Isha, her expression still filled with anger. Without wasting a second, she moved to save her captain.

On Raghav’s side, a distant shot echoed as "THOOM" rang across the battlefield, followed by two heavy explosions.
The Hulking’s legs were blasted apart from the knees. Its massive body instantly lost balance and crashed to the ground with a heavy "THUDDD!!!
