Free Web NovelChapter 201: The New Opponent
Roxanne and Geoffrey, who were busy launching an attack, had to be slammed against their position when Theodore drifted to avoid the zombies that suddenly appeared in front of their car.
If Theodore hadn’t dodged, he was sure their car would have been destroyed. Roxanne and Geoffrey were about to complain about what Theodore had done, but they were silent when they saw what was in front of them right now.
Then, there was the sound of howling zombies blocking the road in front of them. The size of the zombie was really big, even bigger than the one Theodore had encountered at Doctor Christopher’s hospital at that time.
Not only that, the zombie also looked as strange as the zombie that had been chasing their car. With darker purplish skin, Theodore wasn’t too sure, but the zombie looked like it had fibrous tree bark.
"What the hell is that zombie! How did it get that big?" Geoffrey said fearfully. He never imagined that the zombie would be that big.
"Theodore, we need to get out of here quickly. The other zombies have started to swarm our car," Roxanne said frantically as she saw many zombies piled up on the side of her window.
Theodore also had to think fast in a precarious situation like this. Their problem was really unfavorable at the moment.
Theodore quickly took out some magic scrolls and gave them to Roxanne and Geoffrey, who were sitting at the back. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"I’ll go out and try to drive the zombies away. You guys stay here. Use these magic scrolls if it’s two in the morning." Theodore quickly explained the plan he had in mind.
Roxanne suddenly held Theodore’s arm, "Do you have to go out? Can’t we just avoid it?" This time, Roxanne was really worried about Theodore.
"That’s right, it would be too dangerous for you to fight those zombies alone!" Geoffrey also agreed with Roxanne’s words and tried to prevent Theodore from going out and fighting the zombie.
No matter how dangerous the zombie was, even Roxanne immediately knew that if she decided to fight the zombie, she would die instantly if she was hit.
"Actually, we can avoid zombies. I just need your help to do it." Theodore smiled this time and explained what he was thinking about.
Geoffrey and Roxanne obediently listened to the explanation of his plan to deal with the zombies blocking their way.
It was just that while they were in the middle of that discussion, they could feel their car shaking even though the duration of their defense magic scroll was still active at the time.
Quickly, the three of them turned their heads towards the zombie boss, who was roaring angrily and slamming both of his bulky hands into the road, and as a result, the shockwave from that action made the ground shake.
"Looks like we don’t have much time, I need to distract him. Remember what I said." Before going outside, Theodore reminded his two friends to do what he had said.
After that, Theodore summoned his sword from the sacred dimension and immediately opened his car door to face the boss zombie.
Theodore had to kill the small zombies that surrounded their car first, but it was not too difficult for him to kill them. Fortunately, the zombies that chased their vehicle did not pursue it further.
Meanwhile, Geoffrey and Roxanne, who were in the car, began to stare at each other, and then a few moments later, they realized.
"Gosh, we don’t have time to stay like this!?" Roxanne patted Geoffrey hard on the shoulder to wake him up.
While Roxanne herself immediately moved to the driver’s seat, she knew what she had to do later. For now, Roxanne and Geoffrey have to kill the zombies around them first.
The tree branches that made their journey difficult didn’t bother them anymore, so Geoffrey could attack freely from the roof now.
Geoffrey took Roxanne’s crossbow and some arrows and started attacking the zombies around their car.
From a distance, Geoffrey could see what Theodore was doing with the boss zombie. It looked like Theodore was having a hard time dealing with the zombie, but the situation didn’t seem too dangerous.
Back to Theodore, he intended to distract this strange zombie so that Roxanne could take their car to get out of this forest.
One thing Theodore noticed about this zombie was that its skin really looked like tree bark. It was quite difficult for Theodore to deal damage to the zombie because its skin was so thick. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"System, this zombie is really hard to handle. Even my sword is hard to scratch its skin," Theodore said while gritting his teeth as he spoke to the system.
[Honestly, this is also the first time the system has seen a zombie like this. The system needs more time to find information about this zombie]
"That will help me a lot. Please give me the information when you have it." Theodore left this task to the system while he himself focused on attracting the zombie’s attention.
Theodore intended to pull this zombie to the side of the road that led to the forest. It would be great if he could bring this zombie into the forest, but he was sure it would be very difficult, especially since he would die if the tree branches started acting again.
Since the incoming damage to the zombie was not too high at the moment, Theodore decided to start using his skills.
"Let’s see if my skill can penetrate you," Theodore muttered, feeling quite excited to try his skill on this zombie that looked like a tree.
Theodore activated his Vanishing Strike skill, and his attack automatically aimed at the fatal part of the zombie, and a critical strike hit the tree zombie.
The tree zombie was seen staggering backward, and its moaning sounded even angrier. Although the attack was not too painful for him, the fact that he had to take a step back and almost fell because of the attack already made Theodore satisfied with the result.
"At least I can use this skill when I need him to step back." Theodore put this information into his head to remember it.
After that, Theodore attacked the tree zombie again with his Slash skill, which did more damage than his regular attack.
The cooldown of his Vanishing strike skill is quite long, so Theodore must rely on this Slash skill to produce greater damage while he waits for the cooldown of his Vanishing strike to finish.
To increase the damage output he produces, Theodore activates his Sprint skill to increase his attack speed.
Then, Roxanne, who was behind the wheel at this time, was waiting for a sign from Theodore, which would be a sign for her to start this escape action.
