Chapter 83: Game Over
The ground quaked as Blaze burst through the ground. He was so pissed that he didn’t wait for Fester to dig. Instead, he dug his way out himself.
Behind him, the rotten links swerved in the air like flying serpents. It looked as if he were wearing a black veil, which strangely enough, complemented his black suit.
His horde wasn’t far behind. Marrow, Raven, and Fester crawled out of the ground. No longer were they affected by the Headless’s control, probably because Blaze had severed all the links and made them his.
[New mutation detected: Puppeteer.]
As he appeared, the rabid sprinters went still. One after another, they turned towards Blaze, tilting their heads. Then they raised their left hand, and then the right.
Blaze was testing the link and its limitations. It wasn’t much different from his Hivemind skill. Only this mutation or trait had a physical appearance instead of a psychic one.
He raised his finger, pointing at David. The next second, thousands of sprinters charged towards him.
David roared, knocking a few of them out. However, unlike the humans, the roar did little against the endless horde of zombies.
It wasn’t surprising, since David, or the Protector, was created to fight the chosen, not the undead. His skills and abilities weren’t suited for such a scenario.
The Headless sensed that. It moved to protect its child, only to find a wall stopping it. Furious, it turned to Blaze.
"ROAR!"
To everyone’s surprise, Blaze let out a deafening roar and charged at the Headless. Even the horde was confused.
