Constitution, or defense, is the forte of the zombie race.

  An elite-tier zombie, even if it stood still, would require considerable effort from Lucas to defeat, let alone this fierce zombie on the verge of stepping into the warrior tier.

  He was certain.

  A full-force strike from him might not necessarily injure this fierce zombie, but it would definitely wake it from its slumber!

  To kill it without waking it...

  Lucas thought of a method.

  The enslavement function of the [Erosion] talent!

  The zombie race couldn't be enslaved by him. All zombies eroded by his talent ended up with their heads exploding, equivalent to being killed by him.

  In a direct confrontation, he would be instantly killed.

  Attempting a sneak attack would also be difficult to succeed.

  The only method he could think of was to use the enslavement function of the [Erosion] talent to blow off the head of this fierce zombie!

  If successful, he would reap great rewards.

  If it failed...

  He would have to let his skeleton minions hold off the enemy while he made his escape.

  ...

  A pale white bone hand covered the forehead of the fierce zombie, and Lucas activated his [Erosion] talent.

  Enslavement began.

  As the unknown energy from his body poured into the fierce zombie, Lucas stared intently at the zombie, observing its every move, ready to retreat at any moment.

  Fortunately, perhaps because the black crystal orb was still infusing death energy into the fierce zombie, the zombie only twitched slightly and remained in slumber.

  Enslavement continued.

  Perhaps because this enslavement took an unusually long time, Lucas felt the complete process of enslavement for the first time.

  Unknown energy flowed out.

  He could even control the direction of this energy's erosion!

  Naturally, Lucas chose the limbs, directing the energy to erode the fierce zombie's limbs first, preventing it from waking up and killing him with a single strike.

  Time passed.

  Slowly, when the fierce zombie's limbs were fully eroded, the unknown energy began to erode its torso.

  Finally, the head!

  When the unknown energy eroded the limbs, the fierce zombie remained unaware; when it eroded the torso, the zombie only twitched slightly.

  When the torso was fully eroded, and the unknown energy began to spread towards the head...

  Suddenly!

  The fierce zombie opened its eyes!

  "Roar!!!"

  With a burst of terrifying aura, a roar full of pressure erupted from the fierce zombie's mouth!

  It was struggling!

  Struggling to expel the unknown energy eroding its body!

  But the unknown energy had already fully eroded the fierce zombie's limbs and torso. In this war of enslavement versus resistance, the fierce zombie was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

  "Roar!!!"

  Realizing the fate it was about to face, the fierce zombie roared again.

  But this time, it wasn't venting its anger.

  With this roar, the four elite zombies, already extremely weak but still providing it with death energy, woke up!

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  They broke free from their restraints!

  Struggling to charge towards Lucas!

  As the four elite zombies woke up, the advanced skeletons that had surrounded them, under Lucas's command, began to attack the four elite zombies.

  Not aiming to kill them, but to trap them, preventing them from interfering with Lucas's enslavement.

  In their normal state, these four elite zombies would naturally not be held back by the remaining advanced skeletons. But, continuously drained by the dark altar, these four elite zombies were on the verge of falling back to the advanced tier!

  This meant that apart from their proud defense, they weren't much stronger than the advanced skeletons in other aspects.

  Charge after charge, they couldn't break through the skeletons' encirclement.

  The elite zombies grew anxious.

  "Roar!"

  With a low growl, one elite zombie gave up charging and ignored the many advanced skeletons attacking it. A mouthful of dark green venom sprayed from its mouth, aiming for Lucas's direction!

  Corrosive Venom!

  The second skill of elite zombies!

  Without needing Lucas's command, when the venom shot over, a skeleton warrior rushed out from Lucas's side, meeting the dark green venom.

  The skeleton's longsword slashed out, splitting the venom into two.

  The two split venom masses continued their trajectory, splattering onto the skeleton warrior.

  Amidst a large plume of white smoke, within an extremely short time, the skeleton warrior's bones were corroded away, breaking apart!

  One mouthful of corrosive venom had destroyed one of Lucas's skeleton warriors!

  The first elite zombie's spray was just the beginning.

  Following this zombie, the remaining three elite zombies also began to spray venom, attempting to save the fierce zombie in this way.

  Not just the elite zombies, Lucas was also anxious.

  At this rate, even if he successfully blew off the fierce zombie's head, all the skeleton minions he had painstakingly collected would be lost to the elite zombies' corrosive venom!

  With a fierce resolve.

  He ordered his skeleton minions to continue protecting him, while Lucas concentrated all his energy, controlling the unknown energy to surge towards the fierce zombie's head in one go!

  Ten seconds!

  Twenty seconds!

  Fifty seconds!

  One minute!

  After a full minute and a half, he finally controlled the unknown energy to invade the fierce zombie's head, spreading towards its brain!

  And at this moment...

  Bang!

  As if touching some taboo, the fierce zombie's head exploded!

  "Enslavement failed."

  "You have killed 'Zombie'"

  "You have gained 5000 experience points."

  "You have obtained the job change information for 'Elite Job Template - Zombie.'"

  Without time to check the information refreshed on the status panel.

  The moment the fierce zombie's head exploded, Lucas, holding the transformed bone sword, charged towards the remaining four elite zombies!
