Level up Zombie

218 The Diamond quest (Part 1)



The dust had settled and the demons were in full view, all three of them just as Zain’s system had stated. They were dark skinned in colour, and had a mostly humanoid shape. However, towards their upper back it would hunch slightly and was also slightly larger than that of a human.

On of that, they had white eyes with what looked like almost no pupils inside them, sharp teeth and pointy ears, but the most deadliest part of their body, seemed to be the large tentacles that would come off from their back. They had the ability to extend and reshape with great strength.

‘They look the same… the same as what I saw in Shark’s memory. These are the demons that killed the Reborn group that I was with.’ Zain thought.

In the memories he had seen, the demon’s strength looked great and ever since then Zain had listened to the advice of the late Shark, to avoid travelling at night. It was unknown what these demons really were or where they had come from but now Zain had a clear idea.

‘The meteorites… this has to be the reason why it stated it was a diamond tier quest, but why would the system try to make me find and run into these things. What exactly are they as well, are they a different form of zombie, did the original virus come from these guys from a meteorite before, or are they just some type of alien?’

There were too many unanswered questions in his head, but the real concern was whether the military had the strength to beat them or not, because right now it wasn’t looking so hopeful.

Their hard bodies were able to take the rocket launchers and it was unlikely in the base that they had anything more powerful than that.

‘Before coming across these things it would have been nice to try and face one of them on my own, but now with three. I think I might need to use everything I have.’

The army were repositioning themselves, as they were trying to run from the second floor on the railing down to the first floor, but as they did, one of the demons turned towards them, and Zain wasn’t sure if he imagined it or not, but it looked to have a smile on its face.

The large tentacle from its back, shot out stretching far and wide and blocked the stairwell. The men in a panic started to fire at the tentacle, it was doing little to no damage as the bullets fell to the floor and some men had even shot at their own men.

After that, the tentacle went and grabbed the first soldier, and ripped his body in half. With the same tentacle it then hit the head of another knocking it off and hitting one of the soldiers behind.

The tentacle was moving fast and with each hit it was ripping the bodies of the humans with ease. Seeing how the soldiers knew that they were going to die on the second floor, they had done something unexpected.

Pulling the pins out of their grenades and incendiary grenades, they set them off, exploding their bodies and starting a large fire. The tentacle pulled away and half of it seemed to be damaged. A good chunk of the tentacle had been torn off and it was throbbing in pain.

The look on the demon’s face wasn’t pleased but, it wasn’t panicked either as it used another tentacle and went for one of the troops on the ground. The others started to fire at the tentacle but just like before, it was doing nothing.

When it reached the closest soldier, the tentacle opened up looking more like that of an elephant trunk, it attached itself to the chest of the person, and in an instant the energy from the man’s body could be felt leaving him.

He dropped his weapon to the ground, and his skin was shrivelling up, he was unable to do anything until his skin looked like that of a raisin. The tentacle let go and now the other tentacle on the Demon looked to have completely healed.

‘Did it just drain that person’s life force and heal… these things can do some crazy things.’

Seeing all of this, the General had made a decision. He wanted to suppress the demons to try to get the soldiers on the second floor to safety as there were still some up there, but if they stayed here any longer, without a clear plan, then it would simply mean the death of more of them.

“Everyone, retreat to the outside! They won’t come out in the sun! We will regroup and form a plan then!”

The soldiers nodded, and the ones that were on the second floor still there, knew their fate. Surprisingly, the soldiers didn’t just form around Begal trying to protect him but had done so around the Zombie Hunters and Zain as well.

They were backing away, continuing to fire their weapons. Although the bullets didn’t pierce their skin, the heavy amount of fire did seem to deter or knock away the tentacles.

While they were backing away, all of the demon’s tentacles from all three went toward the centre, right where General Begal was. They knocked the soldiers to the side. The attacks didn’t seem to kill them as it was just a quick hit to move them.

From Begal’s left side, at that moment he saw a black looking machete. It swung right in front of him, and hit the tip of the tentacle, it didn’t slice through but slammed the tentacle right into the floor making an imprint on the ground

“Zain.” Begal saw who had just saved his life, but as for the weapon in his hand, he wondered when did he get such a thing, and how was it able to do that.

“I have a lot of questions I want to ask him, so you can’t kill him just yet.” Zain pointed his weapon at the Demon in the centre and smiled.
