Chapter 347 - Zombies
Clone Theo hurriedly grabbed Theo's and used his Blink to send them three feet above the ground. At the same time, Theo used his Cannon Blast to create a hole in the zombie warrior's body, not wanting to be caught in a one versus four situation.
However, he soon clicked his tongue when he saw no notification coming. In other words, he failed to kill the zombie.
The hole started closing while three other zombie warriors came out of the ground. The one beneath him took out a shield from the ground as his bloodshot eyes flashed.
The same applied to the one coming behind him. Instead of a shield, the zombie grabbed a bow as it formed a black-colored arrow on its other hand.
The last one was a female zombie. Each hand held a dagger as the black-colored energy enveloped her instead of her weapons. Suddenly, she disappeared into thin air.
"!!!
" Theo widened his eyes as he utilized his Awareness immediately while floating in the air using his Telekinesis.
"Things are not looking good.
" Theo clicked his tongue and questioned himself,
"Still, should I go back? I never expected to find four of them? They seem to be as strong as the zombie warrior.
"
Suddenly, the shield user charged at him, planning to ram that shield to him.
Before he jumped, Ava came out of his shirt and covered her body with lightning before kicking the shield with her cute feet.
"Kyu!
"
Surprisingly, the shield user was pushed back and crashed to the ground.
"Kyu, Kyu!
" Ava shouted to Theo while her focus remained on the shield user.
Theo knew that these zombies were stronger than he expected, but the memories when he challenged other geniuses around the world flashed in his mind.
All of them were extremely powerful. He could use his strategy to withstand those powers, but he still needed a considerable amount of strength to even fight them toe to toe.
He might never fight more than one enemy at once since his clone would take care of the other one, but those people were far better than these zombies.
He couldn't help but say,
"The competition ended three weeks ago and my body has gotten rusty already?
"
"Unacceptable.
" Theo squinted his eyes as he released his killing intent. His stare gave an extremely cold chill that would go down their spine if they were alive.
"They may have numbers, but the opponents I have fought this whole time are a lot stronger.
"
"Ava, take care of the invisible one,
" Theo shouted.
Ava panicked for a moment as she hadn't experienced this side of Theo. Even so, Ava nodded her head while trying to search for the one that became invisible.
However, Theo already raised his hand and waved it down.
"No need to find it. I will give away her location right now!
"
He spread his telekinesis and used it to the maximum capacity, pushing the air above their heads to pressure them.
Other than Theo, his clone, and Ava, all of them had a crack on the ground beneath their feet. Yes, all of them.
Ava saw the crack without anybody above it, so she understood what Theo meant by showing her location.
She took a leap as Theo retracted his Telekinesis, allowing Ava to cover the distance in an instant without any pressure.
Even the invisible zombie couldn't do anything to this speed as Ava already kicked the female zombie.
Rolling on the ground a few times, the female zombie retracted its invisibility.
"Kyu!
" Ava looked at her with a serious expression as if this was the time she needed to fight with everything she got because Theo relied on her.
The female zombie tried to turn invisible again but noticed there was a trace of lightning that kept sparking on her hand. She raised her vision and saw Ava's smile, knowing that the culprit was none other than Ava. This kind of power would continue giving away her location, so she decided not to become invisible anymore.
Ava used this advantage and leaped toward her, challenging her one on one.
On the other hand, Theo and his clone faced the three remaining zombies. Because of their current position, Theo needed to use his Telekinesis to fly over them and situate himself between the zombie and Ava, preventing the monster from launching a sneak attack on Ava.
Theo and his clone raised both spears as they smirked like that of a devil. Blue-colored energy covered their spears as they said simultaneously,
"Come.
"
The shield and sword users charged forward as the former took care of his clone while the recovered sword user challenged the original.
Clone Theo used his External Flow and Cannon Blast, releasing a more powerful Cannon Blast. The zombie responded by raising his shield to block its attack, only to find Theo pushing him back.
Original Theo, on the contrary, used his Magic Bullet and sent it to the zombie archer to prevent him from helping them.
Seeing those extraordinary Magic Bullets, the zombie warrior planned to strike the Magic Bullets like he once did.
Unfortunately for him, Theo used his Telekinesis to launch himself toward the zombie, arriving a bit faster than the zombie expected.
He struck the sword and stopped it from releasing any skill, resulting in the bullet raining down the archer.
The archer furrowed his eyebrows and leaped back, avoiding this attack, but the Magic Bullets turned and chased him.
"!!!
" The zombie archer seemed to understand what was going on and shot an arrow into the sky.
The arrow then turned into green-colored light and released a total of ten arrows, hitting everything in a certain area.
Whether it was Theo or his clone or even the other zombies, everyone had a share of the arrows.
Theo and his clone used Elemental Shields at the same time, protecting their head and body from being hit. On the other hand, the zombies let the arrows hit their bodies.
However, one certain movement didn't escape Theo's eyes. When one arrow was about to hit the zombie warrior's head, he decided to receive it with his hand instead of letting it hit his head.
"…
" Theo narrowed his eyes and shouted,
"Ava. This is just speculation, but blast her head and she will die! Don't attack the body.
"
"Kyu!
" Ava's eyes turned red as lightning sparked around her body, leaving a small crack on the ground.
