The shadowy figure tossed the corpse aside, then extended a dark purple tongue to lick the crimson blood off its claws. Its bloodlust was palpable.
It was a B+ class Zombie King, with the awakened ability [Shadow Veil], which allowed it to hide in shadows and move through tiny gaps like window cracks, door crevices, or even fissures in walls.

"Not bad..."
Ethan silently mused to himself. Killing it to harvest its crystal core seemed like a waste. It might be better to recruit it as a subordinate—after all, manpower was in short supply these days.
With that thought, Ethan stepped out from the wall, his figure slowly materializing.
