Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

Another trip down here, and with the help of his virtual mini map that he could toggle on and off to refrain from hindering his vision, Vincent was making really good time on heading to the unknown areas. Covering over more space than last time, the Red Android made sure to not leave any pathway unturned and purposely looked for dead ends in order to know where not to go when things started becoming either difficult or awry.
Honestly, nothing spelled out 'you're screwed' more than reaching a dead end after trying to run away for your life against an opponent you can't outsmart or overpower. Still, the same tactic was going to be used to call out the attention of anything else that was down here. Dragging his chains and making them noisy on purpose, Vincent continued down on his own expedition in the catacombs. Yeah, he should bring a hat next time.

Vincent didn't know how to describe this thing. He knew that it was a zombie if the spilling guts, rancid odor, and decaying flesh wrapped around what seemed to be dirtied bone was an indication. It also looked like a tower of sorts, what with the rim on top and such. Now putting those together, well, Vincent had no bloody clue on how messed up that could be but decided to just chalk it under the whole thing these shadows had to do with where they were spawned in.
And apparently this graveyard had a thing for the undead, which probably led to the usual shadow-fare that the android had been dealing with as of late. Not exactly in the mood right now to test out his less effective attacks, really the sight of the thing kinda threw that option away and Vincent just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, the android then just promised himself to do some extra training whenever he got the chance. Next time of course.
Because that thing needed to die. Right now. Real fast.
Doing just that, Orpheus' form appeared over head and with a pluck of his lyre and tune being kicked up, Cell Breaker went into effect and struck the opponent first. It was returned with a rather nasty Garula, and wit Vincent being weak to such an element felt himself take up quite a bit of damage even when he had tried to raise his guard. His jacket getting ripped from the strength of the blow, the red android gave a rather annoyed look towards the Shadow and called forth for another Cell Breaker. This time, much to his luck, exhaustion set in on the opponent. The next attack that he had to contend with didn't do much, and the Cell Breaker thrown at his enemy's way decidedly did more damage this time around.
Overpowering the Tower in the next exchange of blows, Vincent tried to wipe away the guts that started flying when Cell Breaker made contact. It being a strike attack, well, the thing just kinda exploded and shadow-zombie guts were still disgusting zombie guts no matter how you looked at it. Whelp, there goes his jacket. Completely unsalvageable, and man it was his favourite too.

He wasn't quite sure whether to be disappointed or happy to know that the thing didn't leave anything for him to pick up. One on hand, the resources would have helped regardless what it was so long as it could be sold. On the other, he doubted he'd want to pick anything up that had been stewing in the guts of that zombie shadow. Taking the less than savoury image out of his head, and hoping that his memory banks had a delete button somewhere in them, Vincent just turned around and began his trek towards the safety and normalcy of reality once more.
At least there, he was sure that the closest he'll be getting to zombie guts would be through a screen.
