Chapter 194: Next Hunt? (4)
Aiden, seeing the big metal gate opening in front of him while hearing the growling and stomping sounds from the other side, was excited for them to come inside as he knew this time the hunt was going to be the greatest it had ever been.
On the previous hunt, they had collected around 800 cores, and this time he knew it was going to be even greater, which made him excited knowing he was going to use the cores. Surely, this large quantity was going to have some effect on his stats, even when he only got one-tenth of the stats.
Metallic sounds could be heard as the gate in front of him slowly opened, and only after opening enough for two people to pass at the same time, it stopped.
Even before it fully opened, a zombie had already entered inside, with disgusting, gooey saliva dripping down its mouth as it growled ferociously to cause fear in them while running toward the closest target, Aiden, to devour him. Continue your saga on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
There was a hint of hesitation in its completely red eyes for seconds; however, it didn't change anything, as only after a second did its instincts take over, telling it to just devour the prey in front of it that could make it many times stronger without taking the danger into consideration.
GRRRR
Aiden, who was already clutching his sword in his hands, didn't waste any time, and even before the zombie could reach him, he quickly put 75% of his strength into his leg to dash forward. His figure blurred and reached the zombie in milliseconds, and without giving the clueless zombie any chance to even realize what had happened,
He took out his sharp pitch-black sword and slashed at the zombie's neck with one clean strike, then quickly sheathed the sword back on his waist.
The zombie's body stopped and only a red line could be seen on its neck while Aiden stood next to it without any weapons in his hands, looking at it with cold eyes.
Only after seconds did the zombie's head slide down from its neck as it had already been severed by the strong strike Aiden had used earlier. The blood splattered everywhere, which he dodged skillfully by using his light and fluid steps.
After skillfully dealing with the first zombie, Aiden didn't wait in one place any longer as he saw the next zombie already enter inside. His blurry figure moved as he reached the next zombie in milliseconds and, just like before, with a clean and precise strike, decapitated the head of the zombie and quickly sheathed his sword back in its scabbard.
The people beside him could only make out his blurry figure, and after he reached it, they saw him standing next to the zombie for seconds before moving on to the next. While he moved to the next one, the head of the previous zombie hit the ground. They didn't even see him taking out his weapon.
Their hopes of replacing their leader dwindled a little bit seeing this. Previously, they couldn't tell how strong he was as they couldn't even see him properly. However, now that they could at least make out his movements, they realized how strong their leader actually was.
All of them had some guesses that their leader was even stronger than when they would max out their stats, as his previous display of power was instilled in their minds, and even then, they couldn't think they could be as strong as him.
They didn't know what it was that made their leader so much stronger than others, and the only conclusion they could reach was that he must have something special. But they were not going to ask him, even though they were curious, as they had realized asking about someone's talent was quite a personal thing to do.
If he would tell them himself, that was okay with them and would even make them feel closer to him. However, at the end of the day, it didn't matter to them that much, as knowing they had a strong leader was already enough.
Aiden was taking out zombies one after another in the same style he had done the first time—quickly killing the zombie and then putting the sword back in its scabbard just as fast.
He wasn't doing this only to show off. After creating the skill earlier called
Magic Hand,
he really wanted to create a new skill that could help him in close combat without using any magic. He intended it to stay like that for the time being as he didn't think he needed it yet.
He was using this method to create a new skill, and he had a feeling that this skill was going to be a banger. While using this method affected the rate of his killing a little, he wasn't worried, knowing there were many people there, and they were as strong as his big sister, at least in terms of physical strength.
He was leaving some zombies from time to time for them to deal with while he took care of three to four zombies at the same time.
He glanced at their figures for a second and, seeing how easily they were killing the zombies, felt even more relaxed. He noticed they were not able to fully control their strength, as he could tell all their attacks with their knives or swords used their full strength.
Unlike his big sister, who masterfully managed her strength to 70–80% so she wouldn't get tired quickly and could last much longer,
He was impressed by Isla once again, who was also using her strength quite well, even though she had only just maxed out her stats a few minutes ago.
While not as perfect as his big sister or himself at controlling her strength, she was still doing a wonderful job compared to the others.
Seeing that everyone was doing fine, Aiden focused on killing more zombies in front of him. At the same time, he was slowly accumulating experience to create his new skill.
