Chapter 533 Cleaning Dungeons (IV): Zombie Assault
With half of the bandits that are currently on that floor before the mini-boss is challenged transformed into either a zombie or a skeleton, I managed to assemble a little army of undead in one go. Currently, I am standing in front of the dungeon's first boss room. Although it was the first boss room, I will be facing a mini-boss here instead of a major boss.
Because this was a lair instead of a labyrinth type of dungeon, there is no door to open, just an area where the boss will trigger itself and appear. I lead all of the zombies as I enter the boss room. Inside the boss room is a long brown table that is littered with garbage, spilled beer, empty beer bottles, and beer mugs scattered all around. At the very end of the table is a guy who seems to be sleeping. But to someone who is familiar with the dungeon's layout, gimmicks, and other stuff that would surprise players, this guy is just showing off a trap and is only trying to occupy players to approach him before lunging to the battle and surprise the enemy, which might sometimes cause him to inflict a surprise attack.
But that will only work on players who don't know how he works or their plans are easily exposed due to how blatantly obvious it was. I extended my hands and the zombies started to trudge forward like lifeless corpses they are, towards the guy who is pretending to be sleeping and just waiting for the victim to check him.
The moment a zombie is near him, he opened his eyes and grabs the nearest zombie before pulling the knife on his sleeve and aiming it at the neck, making the nearest zombie he has grabbed "hostage".
"GOTCHA!"
,m I sighed and shook my head. Just like the usual thing, this guy is too confident even though his role is just to make the surprise the players and lure in the main boss once he is on the verge of defeat. But since I am not interested in getting surprised by him and getting a held hostage, I decided to let him see what was in store for him.
He was still grinning after he held "hostage" the zombie but as soon as he look into the surroundings and realized that the ones surrounding him were not players but zombies. He looked at the "hostage" and he screamed in fear as he realized that it was a zombie he was holding and not a living human.
I snap my fingers which signals the zombies to do their jobs. Before the mini-boss can even react, the zombie that he was holding grab his arm and immediately took a bite on his arm, causing him to scream in pain. It caused him to let go of the zombie but since the zombies are known to stick close to their victim once it gets to take a bite, he wasn't able to escape immediately.
As he tried to escape, the zombies finally decided to take action and started to attack him. He tried to get away but as zombies flocked and started biting on him, his way to escape has been disappearing as the zombies no longer try to even let him wiggle out to escape. His screams can be heard all over the place as the zombies feasted on his flesh. It took a few seconds before the notification of his death appeared in my eyes.
The Necromancer class can be really powerful if used properly, especially if the enemy is humans. It didn't take too long before the boss stood back up and became one of my underlings. Compared to the normal zombies under my control who are all labeled as normal zombies, the guy is labeled as Elite Zombie.
Although this guy was supposed to be the trigger for the first main boss to appear, killing him immediately will drop loot instead of being wasted since being killed by the boss will negate the loot to drop. I didn't discover it in the past timeline but one player showcased the Abyss mode clear of Bandit's lair and killed the first mini-boss before the main boss can even kill him which in turn, dropped a loot. I haven't tested it out as when I found out about this, I am already around level 200 so I didn't bother to check whether it was real. You can say that this is the time I tried to check.
Now that it happened to me, I can confirm that it was a real thing. While I grabbed the loot, I heard heavy footsteps incoming. This is the first sign that the main boss is coming. It wasn't like this as the first boss will throw a big tomahawk that will instantly kill the mini-boss.
Since the first mini-boss did not appear, the first main boss did not throw the tomahawk and just started to march toward where I am.

The first boss appeared. But since I already knew what he was about to do, I ordered a few of the zombies and combat the boss. The boss didn't expect to see multiple zombies in his lair and before he can even react, the zombies has started to bite his body.
"Argh!" the boss screamed in pain as the zombies started to latch onto his big body.
He swings around his tomahawk, killing a few zombies in the process. Seeing that this guy is not going to go down easily, I snap my fingers and a dozen of zombies started to latch on to the boss.
"[Corpse Bomb]!"
I selected the zombies that are latched on the boss's body and initiate the skill. I already tested it not too long ago but the moment I initiated a mass explosion using a dozen corpses, the explosion power was way too strong than I first remembered. That explosion alone caused almost half of its HP to go in one skill attack.
Due to the boss immediately going down to the half HP bar, the boss went to berserk mode and immediately went ahead to fight against the zombies and did not even bother to care about the zombies latching to me.
I sent the skeletons to fight back. Although they do not have the same power as the skeleton that I summoned and are still slumbering in my undead storage, they still do work well. It's just a bit of a nerf but it's kind of understatement to say that the skeletons right now are weak. They are still quite capable in a fight.
However, I don't want to lose more zombies I can use for the last battle, so instead, did another attack in which I used the skill [Corpse Bomb] once again. And because the boss is in berserk mode, the explosion of [Corpse Bomb] is much stronger in power and ended up dying as the remaining HP of the boss is drained and gone.
Surely, I was not expecting this to be this strong. Perhaps, I am gonna be liking the Necromancer class more after all.
