Chapter 30 – The Tyrant’s Trap
The sky was starting to darken as six military vehicles rolled through roads filled with rubble. Their massive tires crushed debris, jostling the passengers inside. Engine roars echoed loudly, while everyone inside remained silent, focused on their mission: to bring down one of the most lethal Rank 3 Zombies—Tyrant.
Sofia sat cross-legged in the back of an open truck, her hands gripping her cross-spear tightly. In front of her, Viktor, Rina, Dito, Kamil, Yuna, and Vivi leaned against the vehicle’s wall. Their faces were tense, yet without doubt. In the other vehicles, members of Team Raijin and fully armed military soldiers also waited, ready for whatever would come.
But they didn’t know that the nightmare was about to arrive sooner than they expected.
A thunderous boom—like lightning erupting from deep underground—shook the air. Before anyone could react, one of the middle vehicles was hurled into the air and tossed like a toy—its metal crumpled, wheels torn off, and shards of steel flying in all directions.
"What the—?!"
"Stop! Stop the vehicle!"
Sofia’s truck screeched to a halt, throwing everyone forward. Screams and explosions followed. Plumes of dust and black smoke rose in the distance, accompanied by a roar—like a beast howling from the depths of hell.
Sofia quickly stood up, jumped down from the truck, and ran toward the destroyed vehicle. Altair was already there, eyes narrowed at the towering figure emerging from the smoke.
It was Tyrant.
