Jack went back to the upper floor after equipping the bracers to the zombies room and silently entered the room, the was in complete tatters nothing like Jack's room which was in a good condition and a necrotic smell permeated the room, jack covered his nose and searched for any other clues but what he found made him gulp his saliva, there was a tunnel carved in the room which led to a wide cave which went underground and even more under the ground as you can see no end to it and was filled with hord of zombies command by a similar buffed up zombie that jack fought.
"I was sleeping with so many zombies in the same house" jack thought and shivers ran down his spine.
Jack couldn't fight this many zombies at once but for the quest he investigated further about what was all this about, jack was hiding behind a wall outside the range of perception of the zombies but he couldn't see much from there so he thought to distract the zombies and take the opportunity to move further or kill zombies one by one, he can't waste his time. Jack took a pot from close by and threw it in the kitchen in front of him close to the zombies and went in hiding, the sound of impact was heard and then the sound of growling was heard jack while in hiding moved a little to see and he saw almost 30 zombies inside of the kitchen and more were coming, jack searched a little for the zombie warrior and there were no signs of him, jack waited after a while all the zombies that have come started heading back and their back was facing jack, jack activated his both weapon skills, silent steps and magic blade and lunged at the zombies with his blades wide open as if going to make a wide swing and wide swing he made with his superior foot work killed multiple zombies and he didn't stop until all the zombies were dead after killing almost 50 zombies jack had puzzled expression on his face but he picked up the loot and went back to hiding and opened his notification panel.

"Zombies level now should be around 10-12 but this zombies are only level 2&3 this means this zombies are recently created, is this area something like zombie leveling ground?" Jack thought "but who created this zombies in the first place",
"did war gods temple create them to train us?" Or is there any other secret behind it.
As jack was thinking he heard another growling sound but this was a single and strong jack could guess it was of the zombie warrior who was traning the zombies jack killed, but jack then jack heard another two similar but different growling sounds, the sound the zombies make is similar but they are slightly different if you hear carefully, jack was about to come out of hiding to fight but after hearing two more growling sounds, he stopped and watched outside.
"there are 4 zombie warriors out there searching for me, it will be tough but i have to fight them to complete the quest any way and let's use a shield this time" jack then removed a pentagonal shield and put back the mahiro's blade in the inventory and scanned the shield

-80
All 3 other zombies ran towards jack and attacked him but jack positioned himself and the shield in such a way that all the attacks landed on the shield.
-15
-12
-14
All the physical damage taken by shield will reduce by 25 extra points additional to 20% reduction by skill and my natural defence.
All the warriors were bellow level 12 and the damage was taken by shield so my hp now was 800.
I started attacking when chance and defending other wise. After 20 mins the barrier hp was drained and the skill CD started reducing i have to wait 10 minutes to reuse the skill but one of the zombie warrior hp was below half and other were at 2/3 hp, I wanted to focus on one but the warriors were little smart and took damage for their fellow warrior, untill now I have taken no direct hit and it needed extreme concentration to direct the shield before zombie warrior attacks and my stamina was draning at fast rate and I was loosing focus and finally i got hit directly on my back.
-55
Zombies took this chance and attacked me from all directions, i fell on the ground and was about to loose concentration the magic blade came off CD and I got the push i needed to pull through this predicament i roared loudly and activated my active rune skills second effect for the first time and send brain waves to influence them to move back, it worked for half a second and that was enough i swing the blade in wide ark and hit one of them but all moved back and then i moved back and ran to stall time, the zombies followed me and after 10 minutes, jack stopped and attacked the zombies with all power untill the barrier had hp and finally killed the first zombie warrior.
