Chapter 355 - Mine
"Fight the Zombie Lich for me." Theo smirked, glaring at the fish which was about to engulf him.
Even the Zombie Lich stepped to the side, never expecting to see Theo using this daring move.
However, the fish had no intention of chasing the Zombie Lich. It just wanted to devour Theo, who was on his way.
"You should just follow me…" Theo sighed as he pointed his thumb to the Zombie Lich. "Go there. This is an order."
The fish released its killing intent, preparing to swallow him as a whole, but excruciating pain suddenly spread on its body.
The fish's right eye suddenly realized something. It saw a small object coming to his body earlier. The fish thought it was just a white stone because of its small appearance, but it turned out to be another monster like him.
Theo smiled. After summoning his clone, he took Ava to the other side of the flowing river and hid within the illusion. Everything was for the sake of this moment.
"Kyu!" Ava released her lightning, jolting the body as the spark sent the fish flying to the Zombie Lich. At the same time, Ava looked at Theo, wondering if she had done a great job or not.
Theo smiled and gave her a thumbs up. After confirming that the fish was jumping around as if searching for water, he took Ava and used his Blink to send them to another place near that spot and hide.
Theo then summoned his illusion to blend with the surroundings while watching the fish and the Zombie Lich fight.
The Megalo Fish flapped its fins to jump, trying to see where Theo and Ava hid, albeit it was hard for him to find them, especially in this situation.
Still, Theo was surprised when the Zombie Lich switched his target already, even though it was obvious the lich had enough intelligence to go after Theo first before handling the fish.
"…" Theo squinted his eyes, watching this gesture. 'Did the lich die because of the Megalo Fish? It wants the body and the army to deal with the fish?'
No answer came to his mind, but the lich's action was there for him to see.
The lich waved his hand and released its green flame, flowing like a wave current that tried to devour the fish.
Sensing this danger, the fish quickly flapped its tail to throw the body back to the river.
Suddenly, ten Zombie Knights appeared next to the river and slammed the fish with their shields simultaneously, generating enough force to push the fish back.
The fish was surprised, but he didn't have any more time as the green flame was about to engulf him. Not having much to do, the fish spun its body before calling the water from the river.
The water burst and flowed into the air. However, the fish wasn't in the water, so all he could call was a water torrent, six feet in diameter.
The water put the fire wave out, creating a small hole in the fire wave's body. Although smaller than its size, the fish leaped straight into that hole to avoid this attack.
Although it was only for a brief moment, there were some burn marks when the fish passed the fire.
Even so, the fish ignored the wound, gathered all the water in his mouth and released it straight to the Zombie Lich like a breath.
The Zombie Lich snapped his fingers as three tombstones made of blue light emerged from the ground. The three tombstones released their energy to the front, forming a circular shield in front of the lich.
The water could only hit the shield as the latter dispersed the water in all directions.
It was supposed to be a successful defense, but the fish took that chance to close their distance to slap the lich's head with its tail.
"!!!" The Zombie Lich was blown away and rolled on the ground a few times.
However, the fish's condition wasn't that good either because the fish decided to give up on its body.
There were five Zombie Warriors next to the fish, stabbing the fish simultaneously. Even the assassins were ready to strike down this fish, albeit the fish still had enough energy to slap all those Zombie Assassins, blowing them to the river.
Theo suddenly reappeared next to the river with his Magic Bullets and Cannon Blast.
He blasted five Zombie Assassins with his Magic Bullets while using his Blink to arrive next to them. He then thrust his spear with all his strength, creating enough force to obliterate everything in a certain area.
This Cannon Blast reduced the Zombie Assassins to nothing as the blood was splattered around, including the river water that turned red for a split second before becoming clear again.
[Killed a Zombie Assassin.]
[EXP+2500]
[Killed a Zombie Assassin.]
[EXP+2760]
…
…
He saw ten notifications while smirking. "I know you are excited about the fight, but I will still be the one killing all of you."
As he said those words, Theo disappeared again, revealing it was only Theo's clone and the real body was still hidden somewhere.
Seeing that Theo just killed his subordinates, the Zombie Lich knew the battle would become harder if he couldn't end the fish as soon as possible.
He had gained enough advantage from Theo throwing the fish to the ground anyway.
He then raised his staff as his shadow expanded, creating a circular black hole beneath him. His eyes flashed as the ten tentacles emerged from the hole.
The tentacle tried to grab the fish, but the latter flapped its tail again, generating enough wind pressure to blow most of the tentacles.
Unfortunately, three tentacles managed to grasp its head, trying to bind the fish.
But before they could do so, the fish opened its mouth and pierced two tentacles with its long fangs, ripping it apart, thus freeing himself since one tentacle wasn't enough to hold him.
The Zombie Mages and Archers showered the fish with their magic and arrows.
Instead of destroying their attacks, the fish decided to do a bold move. It waved its side fins as the water, that the ground had yet to absorb, flew to those zombies.
The water droplets gathered to create a palm-size bubble before expanding a bit more and changing its shape to nails.
More than twenty nails pierced their bodies and heads.
It was at this time, Theo reemerged from his hiding spot with a calm expression. "The EXP is mine."
