Chapter 353 Third and Fourth Stage
Experience more tales on empire
Shane was curious about the leaderboard, but they didn't have that much time left.
"We're about to be transported to the third stage. Get ready." Shane reminded the two.
"Got it!"
"I'm ready."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Diana and Sandra said as they were already letting Shane command them whatever he needed them to do.
After the two battles, they knew very well how powerful this Rank 1 Survivor was! No, they were sure that they had only seen a fraction of his power, and they would be able to see more of his skills!
Whoosh~
Shane and his team, Diana and Sandra, had soon appeared on the third stage. It wasn't an arena or a swap this time. Instead, the setting was a ruined city.
Nonetheless, they weren't anxious at all.
This time, their confidence was bolstered by their previous victories.
Soon, the system notification appeared, and they were faced with three Armored Hunter Zombies known for their speed and intelligence.
As expected, the Sentience Level was actually a mid-level.
Anyway, Shane wasted no time.
He summoned his Sentinel Mk-IV Automated Turret, which immediately began targeting the Hunter Zombies.
But this time, he didn't rely solely on the Turret.
Shane pulled out his Gunslinger's Dual Revolvers and started firing.
Bang! Bang!
Well, he couldn't use melee weapons or skills since the Turret was shooting the three Hunter Zombies.
Diana and Sandra also provided support, keeping the zombies at bay by shooting at the Hunter Zombie's legs...
Thankfully, these Hunter Zombies weren't immune to both types of bullets.
The only problem was the fact that they were fast, and because of their mid-level intelligence, they were able to dodge the trajectory of the bullets and get closer to them!
"I'll deal with them… Stay back!" Shane instructed the two as they would surely die if the Hunter Zombies got closer.
With this, Shane used his Light Flameblade and attacked the three Hunter Zombies who had already been shot by their firearms.
Because of this, their movements slowed, and Shane, with his maxed agility, was able to deal with them all at the same time!
Shane's overwhelming power was evident as he cut through the Hunter Zombies with ease!
Within a few seconds, their two enemies dropped to the ground!
However, to his surprise, the last Hunter Zombie suddenly bloated!
'Not good!'
Shane realized that something was off, and he immediately backed away!
In just a split second, the last Hunter Zombie exploded!
Boom!
Diana and Sandra's Pixie Safety Tokens were able to absorb the impact and left them unharmed.
However, Shane's Safety Tokens couldn't handle the blast and were destroyed in an instant!
Thankfully, Shane had another layer of defense.
Silver, his metal slime, from a thin layer of shield and took the blast!
Thankfully, Silver had a skill called Reflective Aura. With this assistance from his pet, Shane didn't even have to test the durability of his Mutated Python Set.
'Whew~ I didn't know there's a Hunter Zombie that can explode…' Shane wryly smiled as he believed that this explosion was done by the system deliberately. After all, the other Armored Hunters didn't explode after dying the same way.
Shane could only think that this was made to stop many Survivors from challenging the fourth stage of the Boss Raid event.
Anyway, as the blast was over, Shane confirmed the completion of the stage after seeing the reward.
Their rewards for clearing the third stage were substantial and weren't just Silver Treasure Chest and Spirit Breakthrough Bottles, as he had expected. Instead, they received two more Bronze Treasure Chest!
Currently, they have already received one Wooden Treasure Chest, three Bronze Treasure Chests, and one Silver Treasure Chest. As for the potions, it was a total of 15 Spirit Breakthrough Bottles!
'Fifteen Spirit Breakthrough Bottles… I'm going to become stronger!' Diana was elated at this sight. As for the Treasure Chests she obtained, she could only hope that they would be suitable for her.
Sandra also felt great about this situation, as her thoughts before this event were that she wanted to survive. She had never thought that she'd be able to become so rich!
'I wonder how much I could sell these Treasure Chests and two more Instant Experience Potions…' Sandra's eyes lit up since aside from 800 Experience Points, she also obtained two tradeable Instant Experience Potions!
Anyway, the two of them didn't even notice Silver the Metal Slime as it immediately entered Shane's armor to be another layer of defense.
Then, Shane immediately informed them that they would be entering the fourth and there was no time to rest. He even gave them an additional Safety Token, just in case.
Soon, moved on to the fourth stage, where a new challenge awaited them. The setting this time was actually another Arena. However, this Arena was larger than the previous one.
"This…" Diana shuddered after seeing their enemy.
"What… Ugh… Shane, are you confident with this one?" Sandra asked as she looked at their opponent for the fourth stage of this event.
It felt as if the system didn't want anyone to survive this Boss Raid!
Even Shane had to frown after seeing their enemy.
Well, they were met with a sight that left everyone momentarily speechless.
Standing before them was a massive Armored Giant Zombie, its towering form covered in thick, impenetrable armor.
"Armored Giant Zombie…" Shane muttered, his eyes widening at the sheer size of the creature. Perhaps numerous high-ranking survivors would even die in this stage!
Thankfully, as Shane checked the notification, it would actually allow the others to survive as long as they stay alive for 20 minutes!
[ Attention, Survivors!
