Chapter 131 – The Second Zombie King
The wind high above howled fiercely, carrying ashes from the previous battle. The black-scaled zombie dragon beat its wings with immense power, slicing through the heavy grey clouds that hung low in the dreary sky. Each flap of its wings thundered like war drums, echoing ominously with every pass through the dark mist.
Two figures sat side by side on its back.
Sylvia remained calm as always, legs crossed, her black hair whipping wildly in the wind. A faint red glow flickered in her eyes, sweeping the horizon like a predator searching for prey.
Beside her, Sofia gripped her spear with one hand, the other wrapped tightly around Sylvia to stay steady. Her long golden hair danced in the wind. Though her body still ached slightly from the previous battle, her eyes shone with undying resolve.
"Where are we going now?" Sofia asked, ducking her head slightly to shield her eyes from the wind.
"To the second location on Zark’s map," Sylvia replied without looking back. Her voice was flat but firm. "The next Zombie King is in the ruins of a northern city. It used to be the seat of human government... now it’s just a nest of rot and bones."
Sofia looked down.
A wasteland stretched as far as the eye could see. Charred trees and crumbling buildings stood as silent monuments to a world long dead. Gray fog clung low over the land, thick and suffocating, wrapping the world in a chilling silence. The undead wandered aimlessly below some crawling like wounded beasts, others standing still, eyes staring blankly at the empty sky.
This world was dead...But their war had only just begun.
"We’re almost there," Sylvia said suddenly, breaking Sofia’s thoughts.
Sofia looked up.
