Chapter 376: Draugr: Paradox of Growth
Here is Chapter 376 of "Galaxy Fall: All My Skills Are Maxed": BOOOOM!The unmoving dead bodies of the 200 Ninjas smashed heavily on the stone ground of... Don’t miss it!
BOOOOM!
The unmoving dead bodies of the 200 Ninjas smashed heavily on the stone ground of the tower. The immediate threat seemed to have been neutralized by Mirabella’s terrifying, absolute health-siphon skill, leaving a tense silence hanging over the members of Ghost.
"What next?" Daniel asked, tightly holding his bow in his hand, his eyes scanning the quiet perimeter.
{Warning Host.}
Mirabella blinked in genuine surprise. Throughout her entire journey navigating the complex world of Galaxy Fall, the system only warns her if something fundamentally powerful or reality-breaking is coming.
{Draugar Detected.}
"Draugar?" Mirabella was thoroughly stunned, the term triggering no immediate recognition in her vast knowledge of the regional information.
GRAAAAA!!
The twelve guild members immediately lowered their gazes to the ground, their defensive auras flaring back to life. Before their disbelieving eyes, the two hundred dead ninjas slowly stood up, their limbs twisting with unnatural, jerky movements. The dark fabrics of their Ninja clothes rapidly burned into drifting gray ashes, completely revealing their naked red skin and pulsing green veins that throbbed rhythmically all over their bodies.
"What the hell are those?!!" Austin yelled.
"Daniel, the head." Mirabella commanded coldly, her focus instantly overriding her surprise.
"Yes!"
Daniel fluidly drew back his string, aiming his specialized bow directly at the closest creature. He released the arrow. It flew through the night air with deadly, wind-splitting accuracy, and smashed right through the thick bone of the skull of one zombie.
The entire group watched in profound shock as the red-skinned zombie simply raised its mutated hand, gripped the shaft, and effortlessly pulled the arrow from its head. Not a single drop of blood flowed out from the gaping wound. Before their completely stunned gazes, the high-grade arrow rapidly corroded and melted away into a pool of black sludge in the creature’s palm.
"That’s an epic class arrow!!" Daniel exclaimed in utter shock, his face turning pale. His piercing ammunition was rated to bypass standard epic defenses, yet it had been completely neutralized.
"So epic class weapons below is useless... Rose. Use your strongest ability." Mirabella ordered again, her mind mapping out the enemy’s damage thresholds.
"Alright!" Rose raised her legendary class staff high into the air, channeling her dense energy. A huge, blindingly gigantic sun appeared directly above the tower, illuminating the whole district with searing, celestial heat.
"Die!!"
Blinding pillars of pure solar lights shot down from the artificial Sun, and smashed right into the cluster of zombies, completely destroying the heavy bedrock and ground they were all standing on in a cataclysmic flash.
"They won’t survive that!!" David said confidently, but the words caught in his throat as the dust began to settle. He was completely dumbfounded.
They all stared with wide eyes as the 200 red zombies walked calmly out from the roaring explosion, their glowing red flesh entirely unbothered by the solar radiation.
"Impossible!! That attack can kill a Lv400!! It didn’t even leave a single scratch on them!" Rose exclaimed in deep shock, her energy severely drained as the miniature sun rapidly vanished from the night sky.
’I thought the system gave me wrong information at first, but it seems it’s the absolute right one.’ Mirabella thought, a slight, serious frown developing on her face as she intently read the detailed breakdown floating before her eyes.
{Name: Draugr}
{Nickname: Unkillable.}
{Rank: Unknown.}
{Physical Attack: 5,000,000.}
{Agility: 5,000,000.}
{Defense: 5,000,000.}
{Health: 0.}
{Magic Attack: 0.}
{Intellect: 50%.}
{Energy: 0.}
{Traits: Immune to all Magical attacks. Immune to Mental and Soul attacks. Immune to Physical Attacks. Infect bitten, killed, or injured people.}
{Weakness: Divinity Energy.}
Mirabella stared intensely at the profile, still momentarily lost in the structural impossibility of the entity. She remembered this specific type of classification syntax. Against the world-ending Void Calamity she had encountered previously, the system didn’t show standard spirit energy parameters, but rather Divinity.
’Is this energy different from Spirit energy?’ She thought, lightly holding her jaw as her mind raced:
’These things have exactly Zero health and zero energy, meaning I can’t siphon those things using my abilities... But this is only the second world. No one natively here has access to such energy.’ She thought, realizing the catastrophic danger this posed to the local empires.
"Leave these guys to me!" Hitachi shot down, drawing his legendary sword in a fluid, silver arc.
Mirabella stared at his descending figure, deeply lost in her own thoughts: ’Who could possibly create such things in the second world? And with the massive commotion happening down in the city, there are likely far more of them spreading through the streets.’ She snapped out of her analysis and stared directly at Hitachi:
"Don’t let them injured, bite or touch you!" She yelled, her voice cutting through the wind.
"I understand." Hitachi said concisely, his movement skills flaring as he shot forward into the center of the undead Vanguard.
’His raw combat stats are now hovering around seven million thanks to his bloodline awakening, making him a lot stronger than them on paper. But can he actually face these things without a definitive win condition?’ She thought, silently observing the situation.
WHOOSH!!
GRAAAA!!
Ten of the agile red zombies shot aggressively towards Hitachi, their movements showing an eerie, calculated coordination as they instantly formed a perfect tactical triangle formation to cut off his paths of retreat.
’This will be incredibly troublesome. With the zombie survival movies I watched in the past back on Earth, Smart zombies are always the hardest to deal with.’ Mirabella thought with a silent sigh, recognizing the danger of their 50% intellect stat.
WHOOSH!
Hitachi’s brilliant celestial eyes spun rapidly, manipulating the immediate laws of space, and instantly, all the attacking zombies froze completely in place. He flawlessly used the microscopic opportunity and moved like a ghost, his blade executing a flawless multi-strike technique that simultaneously cut off the heads of all ten zombies.
"Nicely done!" Aurelia yelled, clapping her hands at the display of absolute blademastery.
However, Hitachi didn’t celebrate. He looked at the foes over his shoulder, his heart sinking as he witnessed the ten headless bodies still standing perfectly upright. After exactly ten seconds of stillness, they started moving again.
Everyone watched in horror as the corpses casually picked up their severed heads from the stone floor and seamlessly fixed them back onto their necks. Just like that, the ten were fully healed, their flesh knitting together instantly, and they were completely ready to attack again.
{DING!}
Mirabella sharply turned her attention back to the updating system screen, her eyes widening in profound shock as the entity parameters rewritten themselves:
{Physical Attack: 5,500,000.}
{Agility: 5,500,000.}
{Defense: 5,500,000.}
"Their stats all increased by five hundred thousand?!! Hitachi, get up here right now!" She yelled, her voice brook no argument.
Hitachi gave a firm nod, realizing the absolute futility of standard physical combat against them, and jumped high into the air, hovering safely behind her position.
"These things. If you kill them or destroy their bodies, their stats will permanently increase by five hundred thousand upon resurrection. Not only that, they are entirely immune to both physical and magical attacks, and also soul and mental attacks are completely useless against them... However, from Hitachi’s brief clash with them, I deduced something." She crossed her arms tightly over her chest, breaking down the mechanical loophole for her guild:
"If you use a powerful magical attack on them, it will structurally freeze their physical frames for some seconds... Ten seconds at most. Although the overall damage of the attack is completely useless, if you continue using continuous magical attacks in staggered rotations, they won’t be able to move at all." She revealed, providing Ghost with their first tactical advantage.
"So... Um... What’s the plan now, Guild Leader?" Casey asked, nervously staring down at the twitching horde below them:
"It’s a good thing they can no longer fly or use aerial maneuvers like they did when they were alive." She added, looking for a silver lining.
Mirabella stared coldly at the unkillable creatures pacing below the tower: "If we can’t kill them, we seal them."
