Chapter 346 - Zombie Warrior
"…" Theo narrowed his eyes and raised his hand, summoning his Magic Bullets. He released all twenty of them simultaneously.
The Zombie Warrior simply looked at the bullets before waving his sword. Dark Colored Energy surrounded his sword and soared to the sky, meeting all the Magic Bullets.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
A series of explosions occurred as all Dark Energy that resembled the scimitar's shape destroyed all the Magic Bullets in rapid succession. Luckily, Theo had upgraded his Magic Bullets to C Rank Skill or this attack would hit him instead of rapidly decaying after it served its purpose.
"This zombie is not even a Hero Rank Monster and you are telling me it's as good as a Hero Rank?" Theo narrowed his eyes. "I thought I had prepared enough with the difference in strength between this gate and the one where I used to hunt, but this one is above that expectation.
"Wait, this monster is a Rare Class Monster like the first Mammoth I killed back then, right? Doesn't this mean the difference between Rare Class or even General Class Monster is bigger than the normal one?" Theo observed the zombie again as he adjusted his plan a little bit.
"Kyu!" Ava blinked her eyes, feeling a little bit excited. She wanted to fight this monster too.
"This monster is mine." Theo shook his head as he couldn't help but smile. "Let's see how much I will struggle to kill this one."
Since Theo didn't fly down, the zombie warrior felt a bit offended as if he wanted to fight Theo fair and square.
He spun its body and released another attack. This time, the black-colored energy followed his rotation and turned into a small tornado.
"Cannon Blast." Theo poured his Magic Power and thrust right into the middle of the tornado.
The two spinning energies clashed, canceling each other. Theo's blue energy blended with the sky color, trying to disperse the dark energy that tainted this beautiful place.
Unfortunately, both of them disappeared without a trace as the color of the area returned to normal.
Since the Zombie Warrior wanted him to go down, Theo gradually lowered his altitude.
To his surprise, the zombie warrior seemed to have enough intelligence to recognize his motion. He stopped doing anything, waiting for Theo to land on the ground.
As soon as he landed on the ground, the zombie warrior raised its sword, pointing it at his neck as if challenging him.
Theo's expression turned serious as he also pointed his spear, planning to kill this zombie with his usual power.
Theo took a deep breath and jumped forward.
The zombie did the same as he waved his sword from below, trying to knock Theo's spear into the air.
However, Theo used his Telekinesis and External Flow, hitting the sword before the zombie could even raise its sword.
Bam.
A shock wave burst out as soon as he hit the sword, cracking the ground. The zombie couldn't raise its sword even further but still cling to its sword, refusing to let go.
The zombie then proceeded to show Theo a high level of flexibility and fighting style as the zombie spun its body and sent a kick right at Theo's stomach.
This kind of movement, although surprising, wasn't enough to get him. Theo punched the zombie's shoe with his fist.
The Telekinesis and External Flow began to work their magic as the force blew the foot away, forcing the zombie to spin in the opposite direction.
Theo, obviously, didn't let this chance go. He summoned his clone and handed him the current spear while pulling out the other spear. The bag also fell to the ground as Clone Theo quickly picked it up.
Before the zombie's focus returned to him, Theo struck his face to buy enough time for Clone Theo to pick up the bag.
The zombie caught his fist, albeit got blown away because of the force contained in that fist. If not because Theo hit his fist instead of his body, his body would have flown to the air.
Seeing that something was wrong, the zombie jumped to gain enough force to counter Theo's strength.
That was when Theo started showing his superiority. The moment the zombie broke free from his restraints, Theo took a step back and looked to his side, finding his clone ready to fight.
Theo and his clone jumped together, striking the zombie at the same time.
However, the zombie was better than his imagination. He showed something that he never thought was possible.
But he had to believe it when the zombie's eyes flashed, increasing the intensity of its bloodlust. After that, the zombie hit his spears in rapid succession, giving enough force to knock them away.
"!!!" Theo narrowed his eyes and drew a gasp. "Wait a minute. This kind of attack, doesn't it feel like a Sword Art?"
Theo came to a realization and understood why this zombie was far stronger than he expected. Other than higher level, stats, and battle efficacy, the zombie could even use Sword Arts, allowing him to fight Theo back.
"Haha, this is insane." Theo couldn't help but smile. His heart was filled with excitement even though he met a stronger opponent. He only knew that the monster before him could utilize its sword properly.
While he was admiring the Sword Art, the zombie used that chance to deliver a blow to the real Theo.
Theo effortlessly blocked it with his spear's handle, but the Dark Energy emerged from the sword. It splashed like water, trying to cover him with this kind of energy.
Luckily, Theo had put an immense expectation in this zombie, so he was ready to react to this kind of move. He instantly used his Blink to disappear as his clone thrust his sword right at the zombie's head.
The zombie leaned back and tilted his head upward, avoiding the spear. However, the real Theo appeared in his vision when he looked up as he delivered a punch right at his nose.
Bam.
The hit knocked the zombie to the ground as Theo planned to kill this zombie in the next attack.
Unfortunately for him, his plan changed when he saw two more hands coming from two different spots.
He didn't freeze upon this discovery and planned to end the zombie beneath his feet first, but another hand came out and caught his foot.
"!!!"
