Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1481 - 616: Bewildering Illusion_2

This Cataclysmic Awakening only traps people in illusions and does not cause HP loss... so comparatively speaking, it’s much safer. This was the first time Wang Tao had encountered such a type.

This "safety" is naturally relative to other Cataclysmic Awakenings, and it is only safe in the early stages.

In reality, if one falls into this illusion without any help, one would either be forever trapped or eaten by zombies... which is essentially equivalent to death.

Therefore, this Cataclysmic Awakening is the type that seems weak on the surface but is actually extremely lethal.

Of course, if one knows in advance that they are caught in an illusion and are aware of this Awakening, plus they have located the zombie, that’s a different story.

"The zombie has appeared, it’s a Disaster Zombie, but its Cataclysmic Awakening is an illusion, it doesn’t cause direct damage..."

Wang Tao quickly explained to everyone.

Hearing that it was a Disaster Zombie with only the ability to create illusions and no direct damage ability, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and grew curious. They wanted to see what it looked like, but even when they stuck their heads out, they could only see the neat and tidy laboratory, unable to glimpse the zombie itself.

Not to mention them, even Wang Tao couldn’t see it. He was able to discover the zombie solely because he saw its HP bar...

But whether they can actually see the zombie or not is not important, knowing its location is what matters.

A black greatsword appeared in Wang Tao’s hand, and he nonchalantly walked towards the Illusionary Realm Zombie.

The Illusionary Realm Zombie probably didn’t realize it had been exposed, so as Wang Tao approached, it didn’t leave or even prepare to attack. Since it was proficient in creating illusions, it naturally wanted to use them to defeat the humans. As for this approaching human... in the eyes of the Illusionary Realm Zombie, this was a self-service meal! Eating this human would make it feel even stronger!

However, what the Illusionary Realm Zombie received was not a self-service meal, but a ruthless slash.

Bang!

[-62844]

[Curse: Slaying]

A single slash took more than 60,000 HP from the Illusionary Realm Zombie and activated the Cursed Kill, making it reveal its true form!

It was a zombie wearing a tattered white lab coat, not very large, roughly the size of a normal human. Compared to Wang Tao, it appeared very small.

But these were not really important. The most important thing was that Wang Tao felt the presence of Basic Law Force emanating from this Illusionary Realm Zombie!

"Finally, some Basic Law Force!"

A smile spread across Wang Tao’s face.

Based on previous speculation, a Disaster-level zombie with the Power of Laws that matched Wang Tao’s own Awakening would provide 10% Basic Law Force!

Sizzle—

After the Illusionary Realm Zombie was attacked, the surrounding illusions became somewhat unstable, but in front of Wang Tao, they only flickered momentarily, before returning to normal. And this time, the Illusionary Realm Zombie didn’t disappear from Wang Tao’s view, but turned into a charming-looking female doctor.

It quietly looked at Wang Tao, its gaze seductive.

Wang Tao, who has seen great storms and waves, naturally finds this kind of illusion child’s play. His hands didn’t stop moving as he continued to attack the Illusionary Realm Zombie.

Although the Illusionary Realm Zombie was of a Disaster Class, its defensive power wasn’t high, and each of Wang Tao’s slashes dealt more than 50,000 damage.

And the Illusionary Realm Zombie didn’t change its attack approach; each time it was attacked, large amounts of red bloodstains would appear on its body, its complexion pale as paper, looking very pitiful. If it were someone with less determination, they might have stopped.

But not Wang Tao. He continued to attack the Illusionary Realm Zombie very calmly.

Finally, the Illusionary Realm Zombie could not withstand anymore, its face instantly twisted into a ferocious snarl, with yellow-green fluid pouring out of all seven orifices, its clothes and skin began peeling away, revealing the rotten flesh underneath.

"Roar!"

The Illusionary Realm Zombie roared angrily, stretching out its sharp nails toward Wang Tao.

Wang Tao deftly dodged the attack, then continuously delivered several slashes to the Illusionary Realm Zombie.

Wang Tao realized that aside from the illusion, this Illusionary Realm Zombie was quite average in defensive power, attacking ability, and speed, just like an Ordinary Sixth-Rank Lord. For this kind of Sixth-Rank Lord, Wang Tao could kill them easily.

In just a moment, Wang Tao completely depleted its HP bar with a single slash.

[-72633]

[-98736]

[0/1000000]

Whoosh—

As a pile of spoils of war burst forth, the bewitching illusion it had created finally began to destabilize, and Wang Tao gradually saw the laboratory’s true appearance reemerge before his eyes.

Wang Tao immediately put away his Splitting Cloak, but to his surprise, Lin Meng, Xu Quan, Chen Zhuang, and a few others were still trapped within the illusion; these individuals all had comparatively weaker spiritual power.

"A Cataclysmic Awakening truly is a Cataclysmic Awakening; even a type like the Illusionary Realm, even if the zombie is already dead, the illusion still persists, though much weakened. Sixth Order Awakeners, or Fifth Order Awakeners with strong spiritual power, can resist it..."

Wang Tao silently noted this piece of knowledge.

And just as he was collecting the spoils of war, Lightning suddenly barked.

"Hm? You’re saying there are still zombies on the next level? Sixth-Rank Lord level?"

Lightning had also been trapped in the illusion previously. Given its strong abilities, if it fought unrestrained within the illusion, it could have harmed Wang Tao and his companions, so Wang Tao had told it to stay under the cloak obediently.

Now that the Illusionary Realm Zombie was dead, and Lightning had Sixth Rank power, the illusion had no effect on it. Its perception organs, as if they had been sealed, started working again, and it immediately scented zombies right beneath its feet.

"Woof!"

With Lightning’s confirmation, Wang Tao became very curious.

Normally, if there were other subordinate zombies around, the Disaster Zombie would have commanded them to rush first, right? It would only join the battle if the other zombies could not overcome the enemy or afterward.

But now, there were clearly still zombies below, so why did it come forward instead of sending its zombie minions to charge?

Driven by curiosity, Wang Tao left the spoils of war unchecked and took everyone directly to Sublevel Two.

Then they immediately saw the Sixth-Rank Lord Zombie.

"...I understand now, this is a Mother Zombie!"

In the Sublevel Two space, the flesh bumps that could be seen by the naked eye nearly blocked everything, and amongst these disgusting lumps was an extremely obese zombie. It was so fat that it could no longer move, wedged in between them. It seemed to lack the strength to free itself from the restraints...

[HP:1000000/1000000]

[Mana:1000000/1000000]

[Level: Sixth-Rank Lord]

[Awakening: Zombie Incubation]

[Zombie Incubation: Can produce eggs that hatch zombies, with the strength of zombies hatched from these eggs not exceeding its own level]

Without a doubt, this was a Mother Zombie. What defines a Mother Zombie? Naturally, it refers to zombies that have the means to mass-produce zombies.

And this zombie’s Awakening was apparently the kind that could continually generate zombies. Moreover, it could create zombies up to the Sixth Rank Lord level! Its upper limit was quite high.

No wonder there were so many Lord zombies here, and no wonder that Illusionary Realm Zombie had chosen to come forward...

Wang Tao even considered whether, if he kept it, there would always be zombies to hunt in the future?

However, Wang Tao just thought about it, as he was certainly not going to do such a thing since not tempting fate means not dying. He cherished his life and didn’t want to bring trouble to Changhe Base.

"So, time to die."

Wang Tao gripped his great sword tightly and charged forward.

The Mother Zombie had virtually no attacking ability, and its body was so large and stuck that it could not move, only able to take a beating one-sidedly.

Although its defensive power was stronger than that of the Illusionary Realm Zombie, and it even had some Blood Regeneration ability, it still wasn’t enough.

After a short while, the HP bar of the Sixth-Rank Mother Zombie was depleted, and it collapsed with a thunderous fall.

Whoosh—

Countless spoils of war exploded out, nearly submerging Wang Tao.
