Chapter 114: Angry Guardian Druid
Hello guys. While you are reading it, I am also developing a Discord Bot based on my novel, it will be little fun ga, which you guys can try on the discord.
Vikram stood tall on the wall, gently patting both the Warrior Druid and Guardian Druid on their heads. The two sprouts looked up at him expectantly, clearly seeking praise.
In the first wave, the team had been shocked.
In this second wave, they were literally frozen, completely speechless from the sheer display of power.
Raghav, Imran, and Neha stared at the battlefield, rembering how much they had struggled against Armored Zombies in the past. Right now, they couldn’t find a single word to say.
Rohit and Vikrant exchanged glances. Both of them had already realized the truth, Vikram was going to beco the next powerhouse of Caron Town, or even Singapore City.
anwhile, Sana, Ayesha, and Kavya had literal stars in their eyes as they looked at Vikram. They couldn’t stop themselves from stepping forward and gently patting the Warrior Druid and Guardian Druid as well.
"Waaaa~"
"Gaaaa~"
Both sprouts made pleased, happy sounds, clearly enjoying the attention.
Pooja stood a little further away, arms crossed, watching the battlefield with an impressed expression. As an S-rank awakener herself, she didn’t show too much excitent, but she was genuinely happy that Vikram had awakened such powerful abilities. She was especially curious to see what the rest of his Plant Sprouts could do.
Deepak, Jas, and Arjun remained quiet, but their amazed expressions said everything.
Carol, however, was now looking at Vikram with completely different eyes, eyes full of genuine interest.
At first, she had simply been glad that the Captain’s nephew had finally awakened. But after watching his Plant Team perform so dominantly, she had beco truly srized. She was eager to see what he would do in the third wave, especially since six more Plant Sprouts hadn’t even shown their abilities yet.
Her gaze particularly lingered on the one sprout wearing a pure white dress, the one that looked like a delicate little girl. She was very curious about that one.
Isha stood quietly with a proud smile on her face. She was extrely satisfied with Vikram’s performance so far. Still, she remained alert, if anything went even slightly wrong in the coming waves, she was ready to step in and protect him instantly.
After so light chatting and recovery ti, the three girls, Sana, Ayesha, and Kavya continued openly praising Vikram without holding back.
Vikram listened to their words and couldn’t help but feel that showing off had definitely been worth it. It was even more effective than he had imagined. After all, who wouldn’t feel pleased when three strong and beautiful girls praised him so enthusiastically?
For a mont, he thought to himself, ’If soone didn’t feel pleased when girls praised them, exists in the current generation, they must have so faults too... right?’
Soon, ti had passed again. The portals in the distance stabilized once more, and zombies began pouring out.
It was exactly like the previous day’s third wave, 500 normal zombies, 50 Elite Zombies, and at the very end, a massive Hulking Zombie appeared, towering over the rest of the horde.
Soon, ti had passed again. The portals in the distance stabilized once more, and zombies began pouring out in large numbers.
It was exactly like the previous day’s third wave: 500 normal zombies, 50 Elite Zombies, and at the very end, a massive Apex Hulking Zombie appeared, towering over the rest of the horde like a living mountain of rotten flesh and bone.
The mont the Hulking stepped out, it announced its arrival with a deafening roar.
This ti, however, Isha did not move to engage it. She stood quietly on the wall, arms crossed, watching with calm eyes. She wanted to see the true limit of her nephew’s power.
Vikram knew the Apex Hulking stats were the sa as the Leader Zombie he had faced in the Zombie Ruin before. But unlike previous tis, his Guardian Druid and Warrior Druid were evolved.
Seeing the sheer number of elites mixed in the horde, Vikram signaled to his two Archer Sprouts.
"Both of you, join the fight as well."
The Guardian Druid and Warrior Druid jumped off the wall without hesitation. For them, leaping down or returning to the wall was effortless, like a simple stroll.
They landed lightly on the battlefield and looked toward the approaching zombies. Both the Guardian and Warrior Druid quickly ordered sothing to both Archer Sprouts with their strange language.
"Gagaga... Wawawa..."
"Wawawa... Gagagaaa..."
The people on the wall couldn’t understand a single word, but they knew they would soon witness whatever plan the sprouts had devised.
The Warrior Druid wasted no ti. The mont it landed, it charged straight into the sea of 500 normal zombies.
To it, they were as soft as butter. Its blade flashed relentlessly as it carved through them at terrifying speed. In just a few minutes, the entire field of normal zombies was cleared, leaving only the 50 Elite Zombies and the massive Apex Hulking standing.
The two Archer Sprouts, knowing their orders, nocked arrows onto their thorn bows and took careful aim.
Seeing them ready, the Warrior Druid nodded and shouted loudly, "Wawaaaa!"
The Guardian Druid heard the signal and replied with a firm, "Gagagaaaa!"
Then, the Guardian Druid leaped forward and landed directly in front of the towering Apex Hulking.
The Hulking, with years of battle experience from countless waves, was montarily stunned. In every previous attack on the town, humans had always saved the strongest zombie for last and fought it together. This was the first ti sothing so small and non-human had dared to approach it alone.
The Hulking let out a deep, mocking laugh, its rotten jaw opening wide as if ridiculing the tiny creature standing before it.
The Guardian Druid, who had co with a clear battle plan, narrowed its eyes at the laughter. Its face twisted with annoyance.
"Gagaga!" "Gaaaa!"
It shouted new instructions to the Warrior Druid and the two Archer Sprouts.
Hearing the command, the Archer Sprouts imdiately changed their aim. With sharp ’whoosh’ sounds, their thorn arrows flew and pierced straight through the heads of two Leaper Zombies.
Both of the Leaper Zombies closed their eyes, and their journey from Caron Town has ended.
Without pause, both Archer Sprouts nocked new arrows and targeted the next pair of Leapers.
anwhile, the Warrior Druid shifted its focus to the remaining Screars. Since Guardian Druid was not there to knock them off, he can’t directly kill them line by line.
But just like before, he has killed the berserker, it used thick vines to capture and restrain them mid-scream, then slashed their throats with precise, deadly strikes.
---
anwhile, the Guardian Druid was furious, truly angry for the first ti since he had been summoned in this wasteland.
Ever since his appearance, his life had been peaceful. He would knock enemies down, Vikram or the Warrior Druid would finish them, and then they would loot the supplies. Even in the Zombie Ruin when facing the Leader Zombie, the battle had been tough, but that Leader had never mocked him.
This Apex Hulking, however, was laughing at him. Mocking him openly.
The Guardian Druid’s face twisted with rage.
"Wawawa! Wawawa! Wawawawaaa!" he shouted continuously at the Hulking. No one on the wall understood the words, but the tone was unmistakable, he was threatening the massive zombie with pure anger.
When even his furious scolding failed to get any reaction from the Hulking, the Guardian Druid’s anger reached its peak. He gripped his heavy wooden shield with ’both hands’ sothing he rarely did.
Then, with a powerful leap, he charged straight at the towering Apex Hulking.
The Hulking didn’t even bother dodging. It simply laughed louder, thinking, ’What can this tiny creature and its tiny shield possibly do to ?’
It regretted that thought instantly.
BOOM!
The mont the Guardian Druid slamd his shield into the Hulking’s chest with both hands, the massive zombie was sent flying backward like a ragdoll. It crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a small crater.
The Hulking’s eyes widened in shock. It quickly tried to push itself up and regain control of the fight.
But the Guardian Druid gave it no chance.
He leaped again and slamd the shield down once more. Then, with a furious roar —
"Wawawawaaaaaa!"
He flipped the shield and drove the sharp, pointed tal edge at the bottom straight into the Hulking’s stomach.
Although the Hulking’s thick armor prevented a clean cut, the force still caused it pain, a sensation zombies were not supposed to feel.
Even the Hulking looked stunned.
The Guardian Druid didn’t stop. He raised the shield again and slamd the sharp edge down repeatedly into the sa spot on the stomach. Again. And again.
The Hulking roared in pain and rage, clawing wildly at the Guardian Druid and tearing a deep gash across its wooden stomach area.
But the Guardian Druid ignored the injury completely. He kept hamring the sharp edge of the shield into the Hulking’s midsection with relentless fury.
"CRACK... CRUNCH... SHHHHK!"
Finally, with a sickening sound, the Hulking’s body split apart, the lower half from the stomach separated completely from the upper half.
The Apex Hulking lay on the ground in two pieces, its face twisted in both shock and rage. For the first ti, the hulking monster showed clear human-like expressions of disbelief.
On the wall, everyone was once again frozen in shock.
The Archer Sprouts’ precise arrows had already taken down the remaining Leaper Zombies with terrifying accuracy. Jas, the team’s main ranged fighter, stared with his mouth slightly open. He felt his job was suddenly in danger, especially since there were ’two’ of them while he was alone.
The rest of the team had already accepted that today they would be continuously shocked by Vikram’s Plant Team.
Isha felt a deep surge of pride swelling in her chest, especially when she saw how her nephew’s Guardian Druid had just split the Apex Hulking in two using nothing but its shield. She glanced at Imran for a split second.
Imran noticed her look and imdiately felt ashad. He understood exactly why she had glanced at him. Before today, he had never even thought of using a shield that way. To him, a shield was only for defense. Since Raghav usually finished the zombies, he had never considered offensive shield techniques.
