"Overlord, there's a Category Three distress signal from the Demon's Abode," a voice announced suddenly. Inside the meeting room, where the eight Overlords had held their awkward meeting a few days ago, the Cold Lady was sitting comfortably. Her calm was quickly interrupted when a holographic projection of a woman appeared before her."Who issued it?" she asked, her voice sharp."Klaus Hanson," the woman replied, causing a flicker of emotion to pass across the Cold Lady's face."Which of the Protectors is nearby?" she asked urgently."War Goddess Miriam. She's already on her way," the woman informed her, prompting the Cold Lady to let out a relieved sigh."Keep me updated on any further developments," she instructed. "And direct the satellite to monitor the Demon's Abode. Don't share the footage outside of this room," she added firmly.The projected lady bowed, and shortly after, the large screen in the room lit up, displaying the live situation inside the Demon's Abode.Back inside t

The Ice Lotus exploded once more, freezing the entire region where the Tier 7 Zombies stood. The frost spread like wildfire, encasing everything in a sheet of glistening ice. Klaus watched for a split second, taking in the devastation, but he couldn't let his guard down.The Bell had already drained 20 percent of his Star Qi just to keep the Zombies at bay, and now, detonating the Ice Lotus had cost him another 10 percent. His Star Qi reserves were dwindling, and he knew he couldn't afford to waste any more energy."I need all the help I can get," Klaus muttered under his breath. In an instant, the Dragon appeared in the sky above him. Its massive form coiled in the air before it slashed its tail, sending sharp arcs of fire toward the frozen Zombies.The flam

Inside the meeting room for the Overlords, the Cold Expressionly Lady watched the screen displaying Klaus's battle with the Zombie Kings. Her usual icy demeanor had softened, showing hints of shock, respect, and something else that couldn't be pointed out."This kid is something else," she muttered to herself.Suddenly, the door opened, and a redhead with a fiery gaze entered the room. Her eyes immediately locked on the screen—or more precisely, on Klaus, who was fighting within his ice domain."What are you doing here, Nari? Shouldn't you be off exploring the Ancient Ruin?" the Cold Lady asked her tone a mix of curiosity and slight annoyance."Tsk, I can't just leave without saying goodbye," Nari said with a teasing smirk. "But hey, who would've thought the mighty leader of the Overlords would turn out to be a stalker?""Who's a stalker? I just wanted to keep track of things," the Cold Lady replied, her voice firm, though the faintest hint of a smile touched her lips.Nari's grin wid

"The fuck?" Klaus muttered, half in relief and half in disbelief. His Flame Dragon Spirit had just saved his life, but the sheer power it unleashed left him momentarily stunned.The Zombie Kings, appearing hungry for blood and danger, were now burning, their bodies twisted in agony as they tried to escape the firestorm. Klaus couldn't help but grin, though it was a tired grin. He'd forgotten for a moment just how powerful his Dragon Spirit was or more precisely, how lethal his Chaotic Nirvana Flame is.But there was no time to rest. More enemies were coming, and his Star Qi was still draining fast. He needed to think ahead, conserve energy, and keep the battle from spiraling out of control again.However, before Klaus could come up with a plan, he noticed something strange. The fire particles that had engulfed the Zombie Kings were now being absorbed back into the dragon. In the next moment, like a raging torrent, another breath of flame gushed out, turning the already burning Zombies

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Klaus kept cursing as the Zombie Kings began gaining the upper hand in the battle. His killing speed had dropped considerably, so much so that the Void Piercing Needle was now doing most of the killing for him.He still hadn't leveled up yet, and the fatigue weighed heavily on him, making it harder to keep swinging his sword. The retreat was an option, but it would feel like giving up, and Klaus's pride—or maybe his ego—wouldn't allow that."After this battle, I'm going on vacation. Battles suck," Klaus muttered, forcing a smile despite the chaos around him."Brat, you should focus on staying alive before thinking about ladies," The senior said in a mocking tone."Fuck, Senior! Are you reading my mind or something?" Klaus cursed again, annoyed but somehow relieved by the familiar voice."Tsk, who needs to read your mind to know what you're thinking?" The senior's tone dripped with sarcasm, but Klaus couldn't help but smile. That little bit of banter gave him the en

"Here goes nothing," Klaus muttered and the Eye of Despair snapped open above him. A beam of red light shot out from it, targeting the Zombie Lady atop the pillar. The light was powerful, and Klaus hoped it would break through the force field.The red beam struck the barrier, and the ground trembled violently. The pillars shook, and for a moment, Klaus thought he had succeeded. But then, as he feared, the force field held strong, blocking the attack entirely."Fuck," Klaus cursed, feeling his strength drop to dangerously low levels. He had put everything into that attack, but somehow, the force field had repelled it. His Lotus flower was draining the last of his energy reserves, and his fire dragon's light was dimming."Brat, what are you cursing about? Look around you," the senior's voice echoed in his mind.Klaus, struggling to keep his eyes open, looked up. What he saw stunned him. Over 90% of the Zombies were on the ground, growling, screaming, or writhing in pain. Whatever they w

"Are you kidding me?" Klaus cursed as he rolled sideways, narrowly evading another spear attack from the assassin lady, who somehow managed to shake off the overwhelming pressure of the seven Zombies breaking free from their cocoons.With each passing moment, the pressure from the zombies weighed heavier on him. He didn't need anyone to tell him—they wanted him dead. He had wiped out their entire army and killed every last zombie in sight. Of course, they were out for revenge."Listen to me, lady," Klaus snapped, eyes darting between her and the approaching dangers. "Either you scram, or take a good look around. I hope you're not blind enough to see we're in serious danger here!"He cursed her under his breath for being such an idiot. Sure, she was here to kill him, but couldn't she see the situation had changed? The weather itself seemed to shift with the ominous energy from the Zombie Kings, and instead of revising her plan, she was still attacking him.'Seriously? Taking advantage

Suddenly, a powerful red energy shot out from Klaus, parting the clouds above. It created a force field around him, which blew away the approaching Zombie Princes, sending them flying several kilometers by the sheer chaos of the strange energy.The red moon, which had been fading, started glowing again, this time turning a deep crimson. The clouds overhead grew darker and more ominous.Back in the meeting room, the cold-looking lady who had been watching the battle closely continued to observe as Klaus killed the five assassins. Then, the Great Sage assassin appeared. She almost gave the order to fire the missile again, but when she saw Klaus suddenly energized and fighting back, she hesitated.Then, the Zombie Kings, having completed the Blood Moon Ritual, began appearing one by one, pushing Klaus into a corner.This time, she didn't give any orders. Instead, she leaned back, watching the intense, out-of-his-league battle like it was a movie. She was secretly enjoying the spectacle w

The vines shattered, exploding under the chaotic energy unleashed by the bell. Klaus, now being covered by the bell, felt his mind clear of all emotions, returning him to his true self—the way he was before the Blood Moon Transformation.'I need to finish this battle fast before I lose control,' he thought, now fully aware of how deep he'd fallen into his emotions. He had been consumed by fear, sadness, greed, jealousy, and intense anger. The only emotion he hadn't felt yet was lust, but he knew it was coming.He looked ahead and saw four of the five Zombie Kings, now transformed into Blood Princes, hovering in the air. Then on the ground, one stood gripping a jagged spiked mace. With his mind clear, Klaus could finally sense the real danger."Can I really kill them?" he wondered. Even though his power had increased sixfold, the Blood Princes—and especially the Blood Queen, who was a Tier 8 zombie, a Sovereign by human standards—were no easy opponents."Demon Piercing Vines!" Just as

"Die, you big dumb idiot!" Klaus cursed, stabbing his spear at the Blood Prince. The creature snarled, raising its clawed hand to block the attack. Sparks flew as steel met bone, the Prince's grotesque claws barely managing to fend off the blow."You will die, bastard," the Blood Prince growled, its voice dripping with venom. "I'll tear you apart. I'll kill you by cutting you piece by piece"Klaus gritted his teeth, pushing harder against the Prince's defense. His arms burned with effort, but he didn't falter. "Not if I kill you first."Klaus wasn't concerned by the fact that the Zombie just spoke. He knew they could talk, but right now, that demonic tone didn't faze him. His mind was drowning in anger, clouded by nothing but the burning hunger to kill the Zombies. And then kill some more."Idiot, why are you running?!" Klaus roared like a madman, charging forward with his spear aimed at the head of one of the winged Zombies. His muscles tensed as he closed in for the kill.But just b
