783: Still Competitors 1.

With Bulwark and the rest of the Ice Lieutenants handling the remaining Tier 5 mutated zombies, Titan finally had the freedom he needed, the freedom to go after the Mental-type zombie without any distractions, even before landing, he noticed the thirty Tier 6 mutated zombies staring at him like he was some kind of fool.

Titan recognized that look all too well, but he was more than ready to wipe the smugness off their faces, turning his left hand, he tightened the ice chain wrapped around it while gripping the end chain of the massive mace with his right.

As he began spinning the weapon in the air, its size grew with each rotation, yet none of the Tier 6 zombies showed any signs of concern.

They were confident, after all, they were in the same realm as Titan, they felt like ‘why should they feel pressured by a mere golem?’

Two strength-type, Tier 6 zombies lunged forward the moment Titan began swinging his mace downward, while the rest focused on escorting the Mental-type zombie out of harm’s way.

It was obvious to Titan that, despite both zombies charging, only one was actually positioned to block his attack.

‘Let’s see how long you keep underestimating me.’ With that thought, Titan put all his strength into the downward swing.

By now, the mace had expanded to the size of a small mountain, a massive, spiked sphere that radiated destruction, yet the strength-type zombies remained unfazed.

One leaped into the air while the other spread its arms wide, muscles twitching as it grew slightly taller, as its eyes burned a dangerous shade of red, its stance making it clear, it planned to stop Titan’s mace with nothing but its bare hands.

As the moment of impact approached, time itself seemed to slow, as if the battlefield was holding its breath.

Bang!

The moment the mace struck down finally, an explosive shockwave erupted, sending icy fog swirling outward like a halo, with Titan and the strength-type zombie at its center, the zombie that had attempted to stop the attack was now on one knee, its face contorted in disbelief at the sheer force behind Titan’s strike.

It struggled to push itself back up, but its efforts were in vain, ice energy had already begun creeping into its body from the point of contact, while a few spikes poked into its body causing the effect of the frost to spread faster.

As frost spread rapidly, it engulf its hands that it was using to hold up the massive mace and crawling up to its elbows faster than it could comprehend.

As much as Titan would have enjoyed watching the zombie turn into an ice sculpture, he was on a time limit, and he had no interest in being held up by an enemy that was already as good as defeated.

Without hesitation, he sent a swift knee strike to the zombie’s only supporting leg.

The impact shattered its balance, sending it collapsing under the crushing weight of the ice mace.

Titan then slapped his hand against the mace, and suddenly, a black spot appeared around it.

This unexpected development caught even Alec off guard as he observed from a distance.

That black ice energy, he was sure he had seen it before.

But Titan had no time to linger, confident the fallen zombie was doomed to a slow death, he swiftly stepped back just as the second strength-type zombie, the one that had leapt into the air, came crashing down.

Its hardened arms smashed into the ground, triggering another violent explosion.

The shockwave from the impact sent Titan skidding backward, but he handled it with practiced ease, using a precise footwork technique, he redirected portions of the shockwave into the ground with each step he took, turning the raw force into frost energy that spread across the battlefield, making the ice tremble and sending frigid waves rippling outward.

“My turn,” Titan said, finally redirecting all the strength-type zombie’s energy elsewhere.

He bent slightly, pushing both hands forward as a solid-looking shield materialized in front of him, the frost surrounding him was drawn in, condensing into the shield’s thick, icy structure.
