As they heard Shane''s demand, the Elves and the Super Soldiers didn''t mind.


    After all, they knew that if Shane got stronger, the estate would be safer. They also knew about Shane''s unique ability, which allowed him to get more items if he was the one looting the Zombies.


    Although Shane wasn''t telling them about his mysterious talent, they were already somewhat aware of it as they had observed him for some time.


    As Shane was about to loot the Zombies, a rushing figure suddenly arrived at the rampart of the estate.


    He was Chaloem, the monk assigned to lead the defense at the other side of the estate.


    His arrival here was supposed to assist them against the Giant Zombies. However, it must be done once they defeat the Giant Zombie on the other side.


    "I guess they already defeated the Giant Zombie there, huh… Not bad." Shane muttered as he felt relieved at this news. Visit m,v le,mpyr today


    Shane then looted the three Giant Zombies, and they all gave him simr loot.


    [ You have earned 50 Experience Points. ]x2


    [ You have earned 3 Reputation Points. ]


    [ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystals x5, Zombie Cores x5, 100mL Giant Zombie Blood, Spirit Breakthrough Bottle x2, Decayed Giant''s Tooth, Giant''s Hide, Titan''s Elixir, Giant''s Heart ]


    "I think I have enough Breakthrough Bottles once again..." Shane muttered after realizing that he had gained eight more of them just like that. As for the Giant Zombie on the other side, he would allow Raze or any one of them to loot that Zombie since they also needed to level up…


    Next time, he wanted the Solo Leaderboard Rankings to be filled with the members of the Eclipse Revenant, so they would have to loot as much Zombie as they could.


    However, Shane went silent as realization crept into him… They still have several hours before the end of the Zombie Wave. It means they would face a horde of zombies that was more dangerous than this!


    Perhaps they might be dealing with 10 Giant Zombies or possibly a bunch of Flesh Puker Zombies with their Flesh Armors on!


    Shane had to prepare for the worst!


    ***


    A few moments ago, whileShaneand hisrades were fighting against the Giant Zombies at the estate''s front and eastern perimeter,Shinja andLa themselves face to face with a singr, formidable adversary.


    Shinja was still armed with his twin poison des, and he held it tightly after seeing the opponent.


    "This is unusual…"


    He felt a flicker of uncertainty at the sight before him. After winning against a group of Hunter Zombies in the past few hours, he was puzzled at the sight of a single Hunter Zombie this time…


    "Mhmmm?"


    AsShinjaclosely assessed the situation, he realized that the seventh horde should not have weakened in intensity.


    On the contrary, each wave of zombies typically grew stronger leading up to the final horde...


    Sensing the anomaly, he cautionedLa, who had six knives floating around her. It was the six Starry Night Knives that she had used to kill the Alpha Wolf with Chaloem and the others.


    "It''s not a Hunter Zombie,"ShinjaalertedLa, his voice hinted the danger they were facing right now.


    The unknown Zombie in front of them bore a striking resemnce to its hunter counterparts, yet its arsenal differed significantly!


    Boom!


    A long stee-like whip attacked them, and they were able to dodge it thanks to their quick reflex…


    Instead of razor-sharp ws that the Hunter Zombies used, it wielded elongated steel-like tongues with a range that defied expectation, capable of striking targets up to two or more meters away!


    ''It''s using its tongue?!'' La was surprised as she had never seen anything like this before.


    As the unknown Zombieunched its second assault, they finally saw it clearly…


    The Zombie opened its mouth, and with a swift and unexpected movement, its tongue came out so quickly, aiming at the two in hopes of slicing them apart!


    ShinjaandLasprang into action, narrowly evading the attack once again…


    The ground quaked and erupted in a violent explosion upon impact, the force of the attack sending shockwaves rippling through the battleground.


    This time, they were able topletely tell the speed and strength behind that attack.


    "I guess this one is stronger than two or three Hunter Zombies, huh…" La muttered.


    "That''s true… The tongue is also filled with toxins, so make sure not to get scratched by it. Keep your distance." Shinja said as he recalled the Flesh Puker Zombie''s method of attack. However, this Zombie doesn''t have any simrities with the Flesh Puker at all.


    Anyway, the twoexchanged a knowing nce, a silent agreement passing between them as they prepared to confront this unknown Zombie.


    La then stepped back while Shinja made the first move to attack as he nned to use her as his support.


    Thankfully, the Zombie''s tongue had a reach limit, and he could use it to his advantage.


    Bam!


    Shinja deftly parried the razor-sharp tongues of the creature, countering with quick shes that approached the limit of his strength!


    Shinja was truly going all out in this battle!


    Meanwhile,La''stelekicprowess came to light as shemanded her six Silver Night Knives!


    With a flick of her wrist and a focused gaze at her target, the knives shed through the air… Their silvery des glinted in the dim shadows of the battlefield.


    "Let''s make this quick…"


    Guided by herpsychicabilities, they struck the unknown Zombie''s body… She made sure to only hit the Zombie''s possible vital part…


    However, this Zombie was still quick with its tongue… It was able to parry Shinja''s de while also blocking the knives!


    "Your tongue is more flexible than I thought." Shinjamented as he felt the toughness of that tongue.


    The sh then continued, and as Shinja used his destorm Technique and Warlord''s Bloodlust, he was able to force back the Zombie!


    As the battle reached its peak, a final, decisive blow fromShinjaandLasealed their victory over the formidable foe.


    With a resounding crash, the creature fell, defeated atst by thebined might of their skills and weapons… However, the victory came at a cost.


    In the aftermath of the battle,ShinjaandLasurveyed the scene before them.


    Their weapons shattered and broken at their feet… It was all because of the unusual corrosive effects of the Licker Zombie!
