[ You have eliminated a Crypt Crawler Zombie. ]
With a single swing of his sword, it contained the force that wasing from a Survivor with more than 400 Strength.
Currently, he could even fight against these Zombies with his bare hands, but that would rapidly consume his stamina.
Because of that, he just decided to use the Light mede''s sharpness and hotness to kill these Zombies.
With his mede that was made of Phoenix Copper, he easily faced the Crypt Crawlers head-on. His movements weren''t fancy. No movement techniques were included, and it was purely his natural speed and strength that were being used. He was even fighting with a light orb on his other hand!
Whoosh~
Each swing of his de sent arcs of searing light cutting through the air, illuminating thecavewith a fiery brilliance.
The Crypt Crawlers screeched in agony as the mes consumed them, their already twisted forms writhing in pain before dropping to the ground, lifeless.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
[ You have eliminated a Crypt Crawler Zombie. ]
One by one, the Crypt Crawlers fell beforeShane''s de. Their previous terrifying momentum was reduced to nothing as they failed to even tough Shane.
With a final wave of his de,Shane killed thest of the Crypt Crawler Zombie.
Shanewas unscathed in the battle, so he quickly looted them all.
[ You have earned 9 Experience Points. ]
[ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystals x2, Zombie Cores x2, Bread x2, 100mL Crypt Crawler Zombie Blood, Spirit Enhancement Bottle x1, Pair of Crawler''s Grasp Gloves ]
Shane smiled after seeing the loot as he realized that he would get the Crypt Crawler Set once again.
And he was right! After looting all the Zombies, Shane obtained another breastte, gloves, daggers, cape, and shoes that had elements of Crypt Crawlers on them.

Soon, Shanedelved deeper into the cave.
There were several paths, but he followed the notes written in Magnus'' map, saving him some precious time. After a while, the air grew colder and the walls seemed to close in around him, their rocky surfaces glistening with moisture.
Stctites hung ominously from the ceiling, casting eerie shadows that danced across the uneven floor.
Plop… Plop…
The faint sound of dripping water echoed through the chamber, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the underground domain.
''Am I still far from there?'' Shaneined in his mind as he was getting impatient. During this time, he encountered several Crypt Crawler and Cave Dweller Zombies. All of them were killed, and they added experience points and resources to his inventory.
Thud…
After navigating through a series of twisting passages and narrow tunnels,Shane''s keen eyes caught sight of a faint glimmer at the farthest reaches of the cavern.
Pushing forward a little more, he finally confirmed that it was the coveted Golden Treasure Chest, its ornate design gleaming in the dim light like a beacon of riches waiting to be imed.
''It''s obviously a trap…'' Shane thought as its position was definitely suspicious.
Then, just like what he expected, his A.I.,Cloud, sounded a warning.
[ Scan Completed. ]
[ Six High-Tier Zombies have been detected. ]
"Six?" Shane wryly smiled after hearing this. High-tier Zombies were no joke… If he wasn''t careful, he could really die fighting against them.
After a few moments, Cloud made another report.
[ Three Hunter Zombies and three Licker Zombies detected. ]
The Hunter Zombies were surely strong, and even Shinja was troubled fighting them. He even needed La''s help once they worked together. With the addition of the three Licker Zombies, he knew that fighting all of them at once would be very tough.
"This looks bad..."Shanemuttered under his breath, his mind racing of various ns in order to kill all of these Zombies.
After all, despite his heightenedPerception, the creatures remained undetectable!
They were probably unmoving figures right now, making it difficult to sense them since they alsocked a heartbeat or breathing itself.
If not for Cloud, he wouldn''t even notice their presence.
Shaneprepared himself for the imminent confrontation, his grip tightening on hisLight mede. He considered nting his Turret, his Sentinel Sphere, his cape''s Perfect Shadowmeld Skill, Light mede''s Inferno Burst, and his Legendary-Grade Hatchet…
''Can I do this?''
The odds were stacked against him, but he knew that retreat was not an option. The Golden Treasure Chest beckoned, its allure impossible to resist.
Shane hasn''t stepped inside the cavern yet and remains in the narrow tunnel. He took his time to n since, ording to Magnus, the High-tier Zombies wouldn''t move unless he entered the spacious cavern.
Furthermore, although they would be chasing him in the tunnel once the battle started, they would simply stop once after reaching the third chamber.
It seemed that these Zombies were truly just guardians of the Golden Treasure Chest.
After making up his mind, Shane finally decided on what to do and used his Adrenaline Injector that boosted hisbat strength by 300% for 10 minutes!
With a surge of energy coursing through his veins, he immediately started. He then called upon his trustedpanion for the impending battle.
Summoning hisSentinel Mk-IV Automated Turretwith a swift gesture,Shanepositioned it strategically to provide cover fire while he focused on the frontline assault.
He nned to be the vanguard while it protected him from the back!
In a calcted maneuver, he also unleashed hisSentinel Sphere, a resilient shield that would act as his shield against the impending onught ofHigh-Tier Zombies.
With a flick of his wrist,Shanewielded his legendary hatchet… Then, he manipted it effortlessly with hisTelekinesisand moved in front of him.
Gripping hisLight medein his other hand, its ethereal mes casting a warm glow in the darkened cavern,Shaneexuded an aura of unwavering determination.
Utilizing hisPerfect Shadow Meldto blend seamlessly into the darkness,Shhrew several Light Orbs on the ground before he advanced toward the unmoving Licker Zombie!
He used his Phantom Dash to arrive in front of this Licker Zombie!
