Jayden has just killed the level 114 zombie on the tower, but before he managed to kill it, the zombie was able to strike the bell once.
As far as the sound travelled, all zombies turned and started walking towards the tower. But that wasn't the main reason making Jayden nervous; using his high senses, Jayden could see the zombie at tower 3 running towards him.
There was no way for him to escape unnoticed, as it, too, had locked its eyes on Jayden, he could flee, but Jayden was aware that if he fled now, there would be a lot of strong zombies who would be aware of his existence.
As for the zombies surrounding the tower, he wasn't too worried, as most were low-level ones, so they won't be able to climb the tower, and even stronger among them weren't too high levelled.
He turns his dragon sword into a spear and uses the incomplete Ashura weapon arts that he has copied from the demi-Ashura, taking a fighting stance.
When the zombie got a bit closer, Jayden was able to see his level. Jayden gulped as he had never fought someone this strong.
Even all the demi-Ashura and zombies he had killed were killed by using tricks, and none of them was anywhere near this zombie's level.
He takes a deep breath without moving his eyes away from the zombie, calming himself. He then spoke: " I guess I'll need your help this time, buddy. "
He closes his eyes for a moment and a message flashes before him.
[ Psycho Ego activated ]
Jayden's eyes turn blood red, turning his pupils and sclera red completely. They looked as if his eye sockets were filled with blood. His fighting stance changed and took an even more refined pose.
His body starts to release a heavy killing intent. A brutal expression appears on his face, making him look completely different from the normal Jayden.
He turns his head and looks at the level 224 zombie running toward him. He was covering large distances with each stride, killing many zombies every time he came in contact with them. Jayden observed the zombie; he didn't look like the agile type; instead, he focused on strength. He was carrying a heavy sword in his hands.
When the distance between them was less than 10 meters, both pulled their weapons back and threw a punch.
*boom*
As the two punches collided, Jayden was forced to take 8 steps back, whereas the zombie only took 1 step back. Jayden felt slight numbness in his hand, which was quickly healed by his regeneration ability.
With this exchange, Jayden got the idea of the strength difference between them and also confirmed that he was faster than the zombie.
Jayden looked into his eyes, and for a few moments, both stayed still, just staring at their opponent, with a distance of about 2 meters between them.
[ Memory Manipulator activated ]
Jayden took this opportunity to extract some information from the zombie; as the zombie had developed some intelligence, he could use his skill on it.
At the same time, the zombie observed Jayden, his fighting stance, his weapon, his strength, and his speed. He stood still, observing for any opening or any flaw in his fighting style. Like a true warrior, he stared back into Jayden's eyes, not making the first move, as the stronger one.
As the zombie has developed some intelligence, it seems it also has developed pride over its strength. He was acting like a mighty warrior.
After a whole minute passed, Jayden used his skill ' Fake Aura, 'releasing even heavy killing intent; the level 132 killing intent of 'Fake Aura,' along with his killing intent, he got after killing all demi-Ashura and zombies, which got increased further 10% by his 'psycho ego' ability.
With such strong killing intent directed directly at the level 224 zombie, he froze for a moment. Although it was only for a fraction of a second, Jayden took the opportunity to thrust his spear into the zombie's head.
Before the spear reached the zombie's head, it came out of his stupor and tried to move his hand to block the attack. But much to the zombie's surprise and fear, he was unable to move his hands.
That delay was enough for Jayden to thrust his spear into the zombie's head, entering through its eye, piercing its brain, and coming out from the back of its head. Immediately a couple of messages popped in front of Jayden.
[ You have killed a zombie, level 224 ]
[ Level up ]
[ Level up]
[ Happy Ego activated ]
******
Jayden sat back on the floor, breathing raggedly; he looked at the zombie corpse and couldn't believe he killed such a strong creature without even getting a single scratch; well, maybe a single scratch would've been enough to turn him into a zombie too. However, it was another ego of his who killed it.
" Haha... hahaha hahaha" he pulled his head back and laughed loudly without caring about his surrounding. Then he turns the spear back to the katana and looks at his status and kills count.
...
[ Kill Count: 461/1,000,000 (at least) ]
...
[ Name: Jayden XXXXX ]
[ Race: Blood Vampire ]
[ Class: Vampire slave ( level 37 ) ]
[ Blood Points: 5282 ]
[ Hunger Points ]: [ 1682/2200 ]
...
He had reached level 37 and had obtained a lot of blood points. However, his speed of levelling up is much slower; his ability to fight opponents of a higher level than him makes up for it.
He now only had to kill one more patrolling zombie, and then he could start massacring the zombies openly in the city.
After using his skill on the zombie, not only did Jayden make him unable to use his hand for a few moments, which was the biggest factor in his win against the zombie, but he was also able to obtain some info.
Info like, the last patrolling zombie is weaker than the level 224 zombie. And there won't be any more zombies coming to kill him, as with the help of the zombie's memory, he found out that if a patrolling zombie rings a bell one time, only the zombies from the surrounding tower would come to help.
To aid the 2nd, the 1st and 3rd zombies would've come, but he had already killed the 1st patrolling zombie, so that left only the 3rd.
Although it was a battle that lasted only for a few minutes, the tension made him feel a bit tired mentally. He stood up and walks to look into the city and saw that most Zombies were starting to go back to their routines.
He, too, made himself comfortable on top of the tower and started to rest, planning to kill the last patrolling zombie the next day. Still on guard, he closed his eyes and went to the world of oblivion soon after.
