Just a simple strike from the zombie lord left Waldo feeling half-numb. Indeed, he had underestimated the fifth-level zombie lord.
The strength of a fifth-level zombie lord was formidable, to the extent that even a regular attack would cause significant damage to Waldo. In their first clash, Waldo had come out on the losing end. This was not a good start.
"Previously, I was indeed careless. I underestimated the situation, which led to my defeat. It's my fault, and I should reflect on it. But this is only the first time, and I won't let it happen again next time!" Waldo thought to himself.
He had been too complacent earlier, but now he was changing his attitude. He would not allow the zombie lord to get the upper hand easily again.
