Free Web NovelChapter 118: Let Me Take a Breath
After Cassian used his power to create a barrier wall, Theodore fell to his knees and used his sword to support him. Honestly, spinning around playing with the zombie golem was very tiring. Theodore felt his energy being sucked out.
Theodore said Cassian and the others still had to defeat the remaining zombies. Fortunately, there weren’t. Fortunately, many didn’t, so it took little time to beat them.
Theodore closed his eyes as he took a deep breath, then he looked down at his palm when he opened his eyes.
Theodore saw a mana crystal larger than what he had gotten so far.
"Why is the mana crystal bigger? Does the size of the mana crystal depend on the zombie’s strength?" Theodore muttered uncertainty.
It was easy to realize that the half golem zombie Theodore had just fought was more potent than the poisonous smoke zombie he had fought earlier. The guess that Theodore could think of was that the size of the mana crystal depended on the strength of the zombie.
Given that other people were still around, Theodore immediately quickly put the newly obtained mana crystal into the sacred dimension.
Not long after that, Theodore heard footsteps coming towards him. Looking up, Theodore saw Cassian and several people he knew walking anxiously towards him.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" Roxanne’s soft voice asked Theodore worriedly.
"Oh my! I didn’t expect the one who appeared to be a golem-like zombie like that." Cassian was very worried when he saw Theodore’s pale face.
Geoffrey, who had just arrived there, also looked at Theodore with worry; he didn’t think that Theodore would have any trouble fighting the zombie.
"Take it easy, I’m fine. The important thing is that the zombie is dead," Theodore said calmly.
They were too worried about him, even though Theodore only felt tired after a tense fight with the half golem zombie. Other than him somersaulting down the elevator stairs, Theodore didn’t get any other attacks from the golem zombie.
"Don’t push yourself too hard," Roxanne said, honestly worried about Theodore’s condition, especially since she saw how Theodore was knocked down the stairs by the zombie golem.
"Because you said so," Theodore replied with a slight smile.
Actually, Theodore intended to let Cassian take over the assault on the second floor. After this, he would stay behind and help them during an emergency.
Honestly, Theodore was also tired of leading the charge and taking on the tough task of defeating zombies that were difficult for their group to defeat. So, Theodore would let them find their own way out without his help.
"Take it easy. I won’t force you to keep helping us. After this, I’ll be the one going forward; you. You can relax in the back," Cassian said, relieved to see that Theodore was fine.
"I won’t refuse. We can go after this; I’ll be in the back anyway," Theodore replied, nodding.
Roxanne also looked satisfied with Cassian’s decision to take the burden off Theodore’s shoulders. freёwebnovel.com
Cassian also went downstairs to order his friends to get ready because soon they would start attacking the zombies on the 2nd floor. While Theodore was accompanied by Roxanne and Geoffrey up there.
"I’m worried when I saw you fight with that zombie!" Geoffrey seated himself on the stairs below Theodore and sighed in relief when he saw that Theodore was fine.
"Why are you worried anyway? You think that kind of zombie can kill me?" Theodore chuckled when he heard Geoffrey’s words. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"You tumbled down the stairs like that. Aren’t those zombies stronger than the ones you’ve fought so far?" Roxanne replied from the side.
Theodore turned to Roxanne and looked at her lazily. There was no need for Roxanne to remind him of the fact that he was knocked down the stairs by that damn zombie.
"That zombie has a strong attack, but its weakness is obvious. So, I just need to familiarize myself with its attacks. The rest is not difficult to defeat," Theodore explained while shrugging his shoulders indifferently.
"Is that so? It’s so easy to defeat that z. I’m sure if I were to figure it out, I would definitely die at its hands," Geoffrey retorted while shaking his head at the sight of the arrogant Theodore.
"That’s a sign that you still need to train harder," Theodore replied lazily.
Lazy to listen to Theodore, who was sometimes quite arrogant, Geoffrey also remembered asking Theodore something important.
"Did you take care of the things I set aside before?" Geoffrey asked to make sure. He had been so sleepy last night that he didn’t have time to accompany Theodore to get the items.
"You mean the thick jackets and blankets you mentioned earlier?" Roxanne had heard Geoffrey say this, but she wasn’t sure her younger brother was actually gathering supplies for home.
"Yes, I’ve picked out some thick jackets for you. Considering that you catch colds very easily when winter comes," Geoffrey replied excitedly.
Roxanne lightly ruffled Geoffrey’s hair, grateful that her little brother cared so much about her.
Theodore was also happy to see the intimate interaction between the two of them. Fortunately, he had already included the things Geoffrey had collected earlier when he did the night watch last night.
"Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of it, so you don’t have to worry," Theodore said later.
Not long after that, they heard Cassian asking them to gather. It turned out that they would attack the zombies on the second floor.
Since Theodore would not be leading this action, he could relax in the back with Roxanne and Geoffrey. Of course, Ne, Ville Ville would come with them. Theodore didn’t mind because he was also used to being with Roxanne and Geoffrey.
"Hey, did you hear that there are a lot of zombies up there?" Theodore whispered softly to Neville, who was on his left.
Neville looked up to stare at Theodore, "Actually, I heard a lot of footsteps up there," Neville replied, quite worried about their attack this time.
"There should be a lot of zombies up there. As much as possible, tell Cassian immediately if a horde of zombies is coming to attack us later," Theodore said while reminding Neville.
Neville nodded in understanding; he felt more nervous after Theodore reminded him of that.
Slowly, Cassian began to pull back the barrier he had created above the elevator to the second floor. After the barrier disappeared, Cassian led the others to attack the zombies waiting for them there.
This time, Theodore and his group were really put in the back, so they only had a little work to do; they only attacked the zombies when they escaped the observation of the people in front.
Although their task was simple, Theodore was kept busy by the few zombies that ran towards him.
I don’t know why the zombies targeted Theodore, even though there were other people in the front row. Some of the zombies directly attacked Theodore, who was already on the back side this time.
