Free Web NovelChapter 202: Now, Go!
With the current speed, Geoffrey didn’t need too much time to clear the zombies around their car. As Theodore had said before, Geoffrey began to help Theodore from a distance by shooting his arrows. freewёbnoνel.com
But before that, Geoffrey gave a sign to Theodore so that he would not be surprised, and also, he did not want to thwart or interfere with Theodore’s attack.
"Brother Theo! I’ll start helping you now." Geoffrey started screeching to tell Theodore that he would shoot arrows to help Theodore.
Seeing that Theodore had heard his voice, Geoffrey picked up an ice magic arrow and started aiming at the zombie boss that Theodore was currently facing.
The arrow quickly shot out after Geoffrey shot it from his crossbow. When the ice magic arrow hit the boss zombie’s body, it froze in place.
From a distance, Geoffrey and Roxanne could hear a loud groan from the zombie boss; he sounded really angry after his movement was restricted by the ice magic arrow that Geoffrey shot at him.
Theodore, who saw the opportunity in front of his eyes, began to make good use of it; he bombarded the tree zombie with his attacks, and he also activated his Vanishing Strike skill, which had just finished cooldown a moment ago.
That way, Theodore cornered the tree-like zombie to the side of the road; he was close to his goal of bringing this zombie to the side of the road.
It’s just that the freezing effect that hit the tree zombie didn’t last long; the debuff effect only lasted for 5 seconds; after that, Theodore could see how the zombie exerted its strength and broke the ice that froze its body.
Because of this, Theodore had to take three steps back so that he would not be hit by the ice shards that splashed from the zombie’s body.
Not only that, Theodore was again surprised by the fact that the tree zombie could pull out tendrils and start attacking him. Because Theodore was not prepared for this attack, he had to take some damage from the attack.
Actually, Theodore didn’t really mind the damage he received; it was just that he was quite surprised when he heard a notification from the system after he received an attack from the tree zombie.
Ding!
[Host has been hit by negative status, Poisoned]
[Processing to neutralize the Poison...]
[Poison has been neutralized!]
And the notification buzzed in Theodore’s head 3 times. The incoming notifications were equal in number to the attacks Theodore had received from the tree zombie.
"What the hell! This zombie give off poison effects?" Theodore was shocked because he didn’t expect that this zombie could debuff him.
The tree zombie seemed unsatisfied with its attack, but after seeing Theodore was still fine, it began to attack Theodore using its tendrils blindly, really wanting to kill Theodore with its Poison.
No matter how well Theodore tried to dodge the tendrils that were directed at him, he still had trouble and had to take several hits in the end.
And again, Theodore heard the notification system buzzing inside his head when his body was hit by the tree zombie’s tendrils. Not only that, the HP bar slowly continued to decrease due to receiving attacks from the tree zombie.
Although the negative effect given by the tendrils of the tree zombie was neutralized by the system, Theodore still received damage from the attack.
"How troublesome! I didn’t expect you to be this shameless!" Theodore cursed loudly, very annoyed with what the tree zombie had done to him.
Not wanting to be rash, Theodore also took a potion from the sacred dimension and immediately drank it; after making sure that his HP was not too low, then he returned forward to attack the tree zombie.
However, approaching the tree zombie was getting more difficult at this time because he continued to release his tendrils to prevent Theodore from approaching him.
Unable to stay still, Theodore started shouting at Geoffrey, who was watching him from a distance.
"Geoffrey, fire a magic arrow and target the tendrils!" Theodore immediately shouted his orders to the distant Geoffrey.
Actually, Geoffrey only heard Theodore’s words vaguely. Fortunately, he understood what he was trying to tell him. Geoffrey quickly grabbed the fire magic arrow that was in the car.
As Geoffrey placed the arrow on his crossbow and started aiming, it was honestly very difficult to target the tendrils of the zombies as they kept moving irregularly.
On the other hand, Geoffrey also couldn’t keep aiming like this because he could see that Theodore’s situation was very unfriendly right now; he really had to help Theodore right now and get him out of that bad situation.
Finally, Geoffrey shot his arrow after being pretty sure where it would land, although he wasn’t too sure it would hit the tendrils of the zombie.
And sure enough, the arrow Geoffrey shot landed on the arm of the tree zombie. Fortunately, the fire arrow exploded, and the explosion hit the source of the tendrils.
The tree zombie began to groan in pain as its body was hit by the fire. Theodore also took this opportunity to use his Vanishing Strike skill again.
But this time, Theodore aimed his attack at the zombie’s head, and the attack made the zombie’s groan even worse; he hurriedly stepped back while holding his hand that was still burning.
Theodore, who saw an opportunity, immediately signaled Roxanne so that she could quickly take their car away from this road while he could still hold this tree zombie.
"Roxanne, now!" Theodore shouted as loud as he could so that Roxanne could hear his voice.
Given that Roxanne had been waiting for this moment all along, she was well prepared when she heard Theodore’s signal indicating that she could drive the car away.
Roxanne quickly stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car as fast as she could to get off the road, knowing that they only needed to take a few more turns to get out of this forest road.
Theodore also tried to keep the zombie cornered so he wouldn’t notice their car leaving the road.
Only it seemed like the zombie knew what Theodore was trying to do. The zombie’s groan of pain immediately turned into anger when he saw the car driven by Roxanne starting to try to leave this road.
With anger, the zombie began to release its tendrils to stop the car; not only that, the tree branches that had previously done nothing began to move again to block the car driven by Roxanne.
