Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Lord of the Ice and Fire Zombie



Boom!

A massive fireball shot towards the flaming zombie.

Under the effect of its [Fire Shield]— which increases fire damage by 50% and reduces incoming fire damage by the same percentage— Zhang Yue's fireball inflicted only minimal damage, with a mere 266 points flashing above the zombie's head.

Additionally, there was a 50-point ice damage effect.

Roar!

The flaming zombie let out an enraged roar, hurling a fireball at Zhang Yue.

Whoosh!

Zhang Yue deftly dodged the attack.

The next moment, his Silver Armored Scorpion charged at the zombie, its massive pincers snapping at it. However, with only 75 attack power, it barely scratched the flaming zombie, managing just a single point of damage.

But it succeeded in drawing the zombie's attention.

Boom!

The flaming zombie countered with another fireball, hitting the Silver Armored Scorpion for 61 points of damage.

Yet, with its golden level 8 Wild Boar Leather Boots, level 5 Heroic Leggings, and the A-grade Steel Body skill, the elite Silver Armored Scorpion barely flinched from the attack.

It retaliated, healing most of the lost health through its [Bloodthirsty Frenzy Ring], which absorbed 55 points of life with each attack.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue unleashed his Ice Spike skill combined with basic attacks, relentlessly assaulting the flaming zombie.

-475!

-50 Ice Damage!

[Ding! You have slain an LV11 Flaming Zombie. Gained 50 experience points and 110,000 energy points.]

Aside from five copper coins, the zombie's body dropped nothing else.

Apparently, the drop rate for zombie cores wasn't guaranteed.

After picking up the coins, Zhang Yue continued to hunt the nearby flaming zombies.

The camp was teeming with zombies ranging from level 11 to 13.

Each kill awarded 50, 55, or 60 experience points, along with 110,000 to 130,000 energy points and 5 to 6 copper coins.

Even when facing the highest level 13 flaming zombies, Zhang Yue handled them with ease.

After killing ten flaming zombies, he managed to collect just two fiery stones— Fire Cores.

The drop rate seemed to hover around 20%.

"Gathering 300 cores is going to be hard task," Zhang Yue mused as he continued his grinding session.

He spent the entire afternoon in the military camp, slaying over three hundred flaming zombies, but only managed to collect around fifty Fire Cores.

In the process, Zhang Yue's Soul Harvest skill helped him take down three normal-level flaming zombies.

On top of that, he leveled up to 11.

However, the experience required for the next level had spiked, needing a whopping 18,000 experience points to reach level 12!

Glancing at the time, Zhang Yue noted, "It's seven o'clock, time for dinner."

After all, as the saying goes, "A man is made of iron, and food is steel; skip a meal and you'll feel weak."

Zhang Yue decided to log off for dinner and resume the task afterward.

Just as he was about to leave the camp, a thunderous roar erupted from deep within.

The ground trembled as the roar echoed through the camp.

"Could it be…?"

Zhang Yue felt a surge of excitement as he cautiously approached the source of the noise.

Passing through the area dominated by flaming zombies, he reached the boundary where they clashed with frost zombies.

There, towering three to four meters tall, stood a monstrous zombie. Its upper body was encased in frost, while its lower half was engulfed in roaring flames.

"Just as I thought, it's a boss monster." Zhang Yue's heart raced with excitement as he laid eyes on the Ice and Fire Zombie Lord.

The value of a boss monster was immense!

If he could defeat it, there was a good chance he'd score some valuable gear, perhaps even a useful skill book!

After spending an entire afternoon fighting regular zombies with no significant drops, this was finally his big opportunity!

Clutching the [Obliterator's Frost Staff], Zhang Yue began to close in on the boss.

At the same time, the towering creature, with the red [LV14 Ice and Fire Zombie Lord] (Magic Type • Boss Monster) ID floating above its head, seemed to sense his presence.

Roar!

The Zombie Lord let out a deafening roar.

In an instant, a wave of frost emanated from its feet, rapidly spreading in all directions.

Even Zhang Yue, standing thirty meters away, was caught in the frost wave, his legs instantly freezing in place.

The next moment, the Zombie Lord conjured an ice spear and charged towards Zhang Yue.

With his legs encased in ice, Zhang Yue couldn't dodge.

He could only watch helplessly as the Zombie Lord closed the distance and thrust the ice spear into his chest!

[Ding! You have been struck by [Ice Spear Thrust] from the [Ice and Fire Zombie Lord], losing 352 HP]

A third of Zhang Yue's health bar vanished in an instant.

As the frost on his legs melted, Zhang Yue quickly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding a follow-up strike from the Zombie Lord.

Boom! Boom!

Zhang Yue swiftly cast a combo of Fireball and Ice Spike spells.

-168! -20 Burn Damage! -25 Ice Damage!

-150! -25 Ice Damage!

Zhang Yue frowned slightly.

The Zombie Lord's dual shields— [Fire Shield] and [Ice Shield]— were countering his attacks perfectly.

Both of his skills were only half as effective.

Just then, the Zombie Lord hurled its ice spear directly at Zhang Yue.

Leaping aside to evade, Zhang Yue summoned his Silver Armored Scorpion.

However, even the Silver Armored Scorpion struggled to withstand the Zombie Lord's attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Zombie Lord unleashed a barrage of fireballs, each one landing squarely on the Silver Armored Scorpion.

-146!

-146!

-146!

In an instant, the Scorpion's health plummeted by two-thirds!

"That's a lot of damage." Zhang Yue was shocked.

Using his detection skill, he finally saw the terrifying stats: the level 14 boss had an astounding 258 attack power, 170 defense, and a whopping 4280 HP!

In the time it took Zhang Yue to examine the stats, the Zombie Lord summoned an icy magic circle.

Crash!

Shards of ice rained down from above, bombarding the Silver Armored Scorpion, each hit inflicting seventy points of damage. In moments, the Scorpion's health was drained completely.

The Silver Armored Scorpion collapsed to the ground.

[Ding! Your pet Silver Armored Scorpion has perished. Please revive it in 3 hours at the Resurrection Spring. Penalties: Pet level -1, Loyalty -10.]

[Ding! Necromancer class effect triggered: Your pet Silver Armored Scorpion will automatically revive in 1 hour with no penalties.]

Zhang Yue was stunned. "I underestimated you."

With the Silver Armored Scorpion dead, the Zombie Lord turned its attention back to Zhang Yue.

Clang!

The Zombie Lord yanked its ice spear from the ground and charged towards him once more.

At the same time…

Crash!

The Zombie Lord repeated its earlier trick, spreading a wave of frost that froze Zhang Yue's legs again.

Unable to move, Zhang Yue watched in despair as the boss monster charged at him.

"This isn't good…" he thought.

Just as the Zombie Lord was about to reach Zhang Yue…

Boom!

A bolt of purple lightning struck down from the heavens, crashing into the Zombie Lord.

A damage number of 138 floated above the boss's head, and it was momentarily immobilized.

In the next instant…

A young woman in a purple robe, holding a staff glowing with green light, appeared at Zhang Yue's side.

Zhang Yue turned to look.

The girl had shoulder-length hair, snow-white skin, and finely chiseled features. Her high nose and starry eyes gave her an extraordinarily beautiful appearance.

Yet, upon seeing her, Zhang Yue felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"Could it be...?"
