After reading the description he felt like death was closer than he thought and he checked other two zombie warrior after running a little closer to them luckily both were still alive and unluckily both had same skill, jack started running towards Bradley to inform him about the "self explode" skill which can cause massive damage but due to the interruption he was a little slow but before any zombie could self explode jack whispered in Bradleys ears,
" Fight from far away, some enemies have self explode skill"
He has to inform secretly because if enemies knew that Bradley knew about their skills they may jump on him on first chance.
Bradley understood and just nodded and adjusted his style and activated his second signature skill,
"Darkness armor"
His whole body was now coted with darkness and the darkness was not still it was active or alive in some way.
Jack then also focused a little on long range combat and called ferra for her water blades and other water based attacks and also used his blade attacks but he absolutely focused on the movements of zombie to avoid getting exploded with him.
Although jack had a bow and few arrows but he can't use a shield with a bow which will make him defence less in close combat so using bow was not a good option.
Jack was avoiding close fights as much as possible but due to lack of long range attacks he tried kiting the opponent to his pace but his speed seemed insufficient even with boots of haste given by ferra her familiar then jack finally removed the mahiro's blade which he had not used for a while because of its low remaining durability it's attack power was low but it had a speed based skill which uses stamina as fuel he scanned it again,

After using the skill jack was able to kite the zombie warrior properly as well as damage him more than its regeneration ability can recover and the zombies hp started depleting slowly but surely.
The fairy who was helping jack by using her water blades looked at jack with a surprised expression when he tried to fight so desperately and thought how a common lifeform like jack have such a strong will to live, creative mind and good combat awareness. If he is groomed with right gear and guidance may be he will win his hegemony and become a great combatant even with his common bloodline and race.
The fairy has always been a proud one, and her ability was even rare within legendary beings, with her synthesis ability she could basically fuse any two skills to form a new one albite she can't fuse rune skills and the fused skill has chance of being inferior but after experimenting she found that skills with same elements or compatible elements have a higher chance of being superior and she has fused all healing skills like regeneration, full heal, chain heal, etc together to create a skill called healing magic similarly she created a purification magic and her most prised skill dimensional storage has even more secrets than jack could think of and she has used her right of hegemony when their faction defeated devils on it which made that skill permanently hers and unable to be extracted and blocks others from scanning that skill but jack could scan it a little due to his special eyes.
She has seen strongest and mightiest of warriors fall and promising players run at the sight of a devil and jack was none of them he wasn't really strong currently as he was seriously under leveled and weak player who can't even use mana, he has no experience of fight against a devil but their aura makes every newbie suffocate to death and he also don't have any strong skills or technique that can help him turn the tide in his favour still he didn't think of running and went for a fight without being reckless, some might think this is newbie mistake but she knew jack was a very careful person and she was starting to admire him a little.
Slowly but surely jack was reducing the zombies hp and still maintaining his distance from the zombie to avoid getting hit by his self destruct skill.
And when the zombies hp reached a critical stage he started desperately getting close to jack and jack noticed it, if jack didn't know about the self destruct skill of the zombie jack might have thought of this as his last dich effort but he knew that the sneaky zombie was trying to explode on him and he tactfully avoided it, all the zombies futile attempts to catch jack failed and he chose to self explode any way in the end.
Boom...
The blast range was bigger than jack expected he was not hurt by he was thrown away by the shock wave and took a small damage.
-50

Desperate survival (common)
Effect:
5% chance to survive a fatal blow with 1 hp.
------
Jack had no chance to look at his new title becouse Bradley was fighting three opponents of which two of them have the self destruct skill and jack was low on HP out of his 600 hp only 200 were remaining
as he had to take minor damage to avoid any major attacks from landing on him, when the zombie used self destruct more 50 hp was lost from the shockwave and jack now only had 150/600 hp remaining, he has to help his alleys asap so he send fairy to help Bradley but told her not to garner anyone's attention until he comes after his full recovery.
