"Kill them!"
Colin roared, and the black-robed zombies under his control began to move.
"Roar!"
There were eight black-robed zombies, and two zombies were holding Rotes captive. The six zombies pounced toward the villagers together.
"Pay attention, Parr."
Old Jack took a step forward and stood in front of Parr. He turned his body to the side and took a deep breath. His face was flushed red as he shouted. The veins on his forehead bulged as the sword in his hand swung out in a large arc.
Hyah!
Whoosh!
The whistling sound of wind entered Parr's ears. He was surprised to see the six black-robed zombies being hit by Old Jack's sword, causing them to take a step back in unison, and their bodies stiffened.
"Parr, now!"
Without needing Old Jack to remind him, Parr knew this was an excellent opportunity. He relied on his short stature to slip under Old Jack's arm. His right gripped the hilt of his black sword tightly and drew it out.
"Upper slash!"
Rip!
Parr used the Wind Wolf Basic Sword Drawing Technique, which had been upgraded. This time, he succeeded. Although it was not as easy as killing an ordinary zombie, the sharp blade still chopped off the head of a black-robed zombie into two halves.
"Beep, Life Energy Points detected. Do you want to absorb it?"
"Yes!"
"Beep, absorbing…"
"Beep, absorption completed. A total of 5 Life Energy Points and 1 Spiritual Energy Point obtained."
"No matter how powerful zombies are, it seems like they cannot think."
…
"Roar!"
The remaining five black-robed zombies recovered. They roared in unison once again and pounced on Parr, who was standing closest to them.
"Move away!"
Old Jack took a step forward to protect Parr. He growled and swung his sword again, forcing the zombies to retreat and stunning them once again.
Slash!
Parr drew his sword and attacked from under Old Jack's arm again, taking advantage of this short period. He killed another black-robed zombie.
"Roar!"
The remaining four zombies did not learn their lesson and continued to pounce again after recovering.
"Move away!"
…
Although Parr and Old Jack never cooperated in battle before, their coordination was perfect during this moment of life and death.
Every time the black-robed zombies pounced, Old Jack would always step forward and swing his sword, enabling Parr to unleash his Wind Wolf Sword Drawing Technique. Parr never failed to seize the opportunity to gain another kill. Just like that, all six black-robed zombies were killed by the father and son pair.
Bang!
Pfft!
When the last black-robed zombie fell, Old Jack half-kneeled on the ground, his whole body trembling as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale. If not for the help from his sword, he would have been lying on the ground already.
"Father!"
Parr, who had just sheathed his black sword, looked back and hurriedly came over to support Old Jack, who was beginning to stumble.
"Are you okay?"
Parr's face was full of anxiety. He did not know what to do next.
"Cough."
After Old Jack coughed for a while, he tilted his head and looked at Parr before saying in a weak voice,
"I'm fine. I used too much strength, and my old injury is acting up. Parr, you should hurry and leave this place. We are no longer a match for the cultists."
"No! I won't give up."
Parr shook his head and slowly placed Old Jack on the ground. He then got up, and he looked at cultist Colin, who was clapping his hands as he walked over. Parr gripped the hilt of his sword again.
…
Clap clap!
"What a touching scene! A father-son relationship? How sweet!"
Colin looked as if he had just finished enjoying an outstanding performance. Two black-robed zombies and Rotes were behind him. He moved closer to Parr, who looked exhausted and sized him up. Parr's hand that was holding the hilt of his sword was trembling. The corners of Colin's gray lips curled up as he revealed a sinister smile.
"What a pity! Both of you are destined to die tonight, but I can turn both of you into zombies after you die. This way, both of you can be reunited again. Little one, don't you think I'm very merciful?"
"..."
Parr did not respond to Colin's nasty words. His attention was currently focused on the data panel.
Life Energy Points: 71
Spiritual Energy Points: 36
Just as Parr had expected, when his Life Energy Points exceeded 50, the realm column on the data panel lit up again. This meant that he could level up some of his stats. His strength could be increased, giving him a chance to recover fully.
However, Parr did not immediately level up. He wanted to save this opportunity for the most critical moment. Now that the evil minions had been cleared, the main enemy had finally appeared.
…
After thinking for a moment, Parr came up with a countermeasure. He will show his weakness and look for an opportunity to kill Colin in one hit. Parr did not even need to pretend to be in his current state. He seemed very weak as it is.
"You scoundrel! Release Rotes, or I'll slash you to death, just like the zombies!"
Parr showed off his acting skills. The transmigrator who had inherited Parr's memory easily blended into the role of a stubborn brat. He widened his eyes and glared at Colin, shouting out threatening words loudly. However, his trembling body exposed his weakness. He had already reached his limit after a battle. Colin was impressed at Parr's ability to remain standing at this moment.
"Hahaha."
Parr's words made Colin laugh. He narrowed his eyes and controlled the black-robed zombie behind him to push Rotes to his side. Colin ignored Parr and looked at Rotes instead and asked, "Uncle, it looks like this little guy cares about you a lot! Is he your biological grandson? Or perhaps your son?"
"..."
Rotes turned his head away and continued to be silent.
"Hehe!"
Colin didn't care. He rubbed his hands together and walked toward Parr.
"Uncle, it doesn't matter who he is. What's important is that he cares about you a lot. I think you have a good relationship with him, right? I'll turn him into your companion."
"Hey!"
Rotes suddenly raised his head. His entire body shook, and he managed to fend off the two black-robed zombies that were holding him. His old body, which was already at the end of its life, surged with power again. He focused all his strength into his fist and launched a punch onto Colin's back.
At the same time, he shouted, "Parr, run!"
Bang!
Rotes' punch landed on Colin's back like a flash of lightning.
Unfortunately, the punch was blocked by a layer of translucent shield that suddenly appeared around Colin's body.
Crack!
Although the punch managed to crack the shield, the punch's force was blocked entirely.
"No, Parr, don't do it…"
Rotes did not pay any attention to his failed attack. Instead, he only focused on Parr. He realized that Parr did not take the opportunity to escape but rather drew his sword at Colin. Rotes roared out desperately.
…
"Beep, would you like to consume 50 Life Energy Points to raise your realm to Elementary Knight Apprentice?"
"Yes!"
"Beep. 50 Life Energy Points have been consumed. Realm upgrade complete."
This was the opportunity that Parr had been waiting for! He did not expect it to arrive so soon. Without hesitation, he raised his realm. In an instant, a warm current appeared in his heart and flowed through his entire body. His strength had increased by almost fifty percent. Before he drew his sword, he managed to glance at the data panel.

Once he fully recovered, Parr took a step forward and drew his black sword.
"Horizontal slash!"
Crack!
A single sword strike broke Colin's shield. A shattered transparent gemstone ring fell from between his fingers. The shattered shield exploded with a shockwave, pushing Parr and Rotes away.
This surprised Parr, but now was not the time to be surprised. He took a few steps back and tried to stand firm. He sheathed his sword and rushed towards Colin.
"What happened?"
Colin's face displayed shock. He did not expect Parr to break through at this time and reach the same realm as him.
"Death Chain!"
Faced with Parr charging at him, Colin immediately raised his hand and pointed. A wisp of gray fog appeared on his fingertip. It instantly condensed into a chain that was as thick as an index finger, wrapping around Parr.
Slash!
Parr had nowhere to hide and nowhere to retreat. He could only move forward. When faced with a dangerous situation, only the brave would win!
Parr once again used the Wind Wolf Basic Sword Drawing Technique. After drawing his black word, he directly attacked the gray fog chains wrapping around him.
Whoosh!
The gray fog chains could not withstand even a single blow from the LVL 5 Wind Wolf Basic Sword Drawing Technique. They were cut in half by Parr's sword, disintegrated, and dissipated into thin air.
"Go now!"
Colin took two steps back and ordered the two black-robed zombies behind him to attack Parr.
"Don't even think about it!"
However, there was still one person in the field, Rotes. With his rich battle experience, he used his last bit of strength to pounce forward and hug the thighs of the two black-robed zombies.
"Parr, run, now!"
Whoosh!
Parr sheathed his sword. He took two quick steps to catch up with Colin and drew his sword again under Colin's terrified gaze.
"Upper slash!"
Whoosh!
Colin tried to block using the Death Chain once again. However, a spellcaster would stand no chance against a warrior at a close distance. He died instantaneously.
Bang!
…
