Romelus backed away from the stairwell upon hearing faint, descending footsteps. Ivan cautiously descended with his sword in hand. Romelus positioned himself at the centre of the chamber. Ivan stepped out of the stairwell into the chamber, finally facing the so-called 'King of Zombies'.
He meticulously observed this grotesque zombie's details; unlike the other mindless creatures, Ivan could perceive that Romelus was in full control of his own body. This chilling fact was supported by Romelus's remarkably intact attire. The zombie's attire was characterised by a distinct punk aesthetic, featuring a heavily customised leather jacket adorned with rebellious patches and sharp studs, along with patched and distressed trousers and sturdy combat boots.
