Ethan took a few steps forward, his figure gradually fading until he completely disappeared—he had entered stealth mode and stepped into the territory of the Serpent-Eye Zombie King.

They were disgusting to look at, the kind of creatures that could make anyone gag. Their combat ability posed a threat only to ordinary humans; they were little more than walking corpses.
