Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Towards the castle

"When the time comes, you will know what that organization is. For now, head towards the castle to learn how to control the zombie within you.

This journey will be long, but I advise you not to hunt or confront any controlled zombies because you are still in control mode.

Well, I believe my task is done, but before you go, take this message to the old man.

Thank you all (Break, Trick, and Carter) for because of you, I learned what happened to this world. Now, I'll depart. Thank you, thank you.

But Carter, about that sword.

I know, Break.

I think the zombie inside Jimmy is the one he encountered before, the one that was inside Chris some time ago. But how did it transfer to Jimmy, and is Jimmy the same as Chris? I believe everything will become clear with time.

Now, Jimmy leaves the house heading towards the castle."

"Well, I think it's a new journey, isn't it, Chromos?"

Chromos laughs.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. I think there's something for me to discover."

"What thing?"

"Nothing. Let's head towards the castle."

After covering a long distance, Jimmy reaches a dense forest and senses the presence of zombies. Therefore, he considers jumping between the trees to avoid confrontation. However, Chromos has a different opinion. They decide to face some of the zombies to see the extent of their evolution and strength.

Jimmy begins to transform with Chromos, but he loses control of his body again. However, for a moment, he realizes what happened and quickly draws his sword, swiftly beheading all the zombies around him.

Chromos: "Stop, Jimmy, don't move."

"What happened, Chromos?"

"I think there's a controlled zombie aura nearby."

"I don't feel anything, Chromos."

"That's because you haven't fully adapted to my power. Climb up that big tree.

In that moment, Jimmy saw a beautiful girl with blue eyes and pearl-white hair, appearing to be in her twenties.

Jimmy approached her and was surprised to see her fighting a zombie. He thought it was an ordinary zombie, but Chromos informed him that it was not a regular one. Jimmy stepped closer to witness the girl's fight, impressed by her strength as she swiftly dealt with a controlled zombie, showcasing incredible speed.

"Oh, wait, Virus. You're incredibly strong."

"Shut up and fight! Why aren't you fighting at full strength?"

"Well, I guess I won't go easy on you."

Jimmy drew his sword to assist her, but Chromos advised him not to intervene and just watch the strength of that zombie.

The fight continued until the girl started to feel exhausted. At that point, Jimmy decided to intervene, but in a moment, he found a sword at his neck.

"Who are you, intruder? Are you a zombie or human?"

"I'm human."

"Human, alright."

"Hey guys, I think we've found a human here. Jimmy descended from the tree, a sword at his neck, and began approaching the girl and the controlled zombie."

Jimmy realized that the zombie was a friend of the girl, and at the same moment, he knew he was on the brink of death.

"Leave me, let me devour him," said the zombie.

The girl asked for the zombie's name and where it came from.

Jimmy informed them that he was headed towards the castle located in Shenhua.

"What do you want from the castle?"

"I was sent there by someone."

"Who is this person?"

"I cannot tell you."

"Alright, cut his head off."

"No, stop!"

"What, do you want to say something?"

In that moment, Jimmy struck a person who was lurking behind him, swiftly drew his sword, and attacked the controlled zombie first. However, the latter defended itself, prompting Jimmy to ignite his sword to prevent the zombie from regenerating.

But the zombie didn't give Jimmy a chance and quickly launched a sneak attack, tearing Jimmy's hand. Jimmy paid no attention to the torn hand, knowing it would regenerate.

Chromos renewed the hand, but the boy whom Jimmy had thrown away attacked him from behind, injuring his leg. In a moment, Chromos asked Jimmy to lend him his entire body, and Jimmy agreed.

"What do we have here, fools wanting to kill me?" At that moment, Chromos opened his own special burial ground field.

...

Warning

There was someone who opened his field, and he is powerful.

...

"Welcome to my private domain. The one who faced Jimmy a while ago, it's you, isn't it?"

At that moment, the heart of the controlled zombie facing Jimmy split, and both of his hands and feet tore apart.

"What happened?" asked the girl with blue eyes.

"Renew, controlled zombie, why can't I regenerate?"

"I think I'm done with the first one, now it's your turn, blue-eyed girl," replied Jimmy.

"Stop, Chromos, stop!" Jimmy shouted at the top of his lungs, but Chromos didn't respond.

"Oh, what do we have here? A controlled zombie. I think the boy has lost control over you."

"Blue-eyed girl, it's your turn. Show me what you've got."

The girl drew her sword surrounded by a calm blue fire and began to bend, directing her sword towards his chest and attacked, but Chromos restrained her and countered her strikes.

However, despite multiple attempts, she couldn't succeed. Chromos felt bored and used the blood technique to suspend her in the sky.

"Oh, I thought you were strong, but you're just a weak girl. Saying that you're strong is nonsense. Look at that zombie lying on the ground unable to regenerate, and you, whom I thought were strong."

"And where is that other fool who put his sword to my throat? He ran away."

"You're there saying he ran away, but I'm here too." In that moment, he disappeared and reappeared behind Chromos, wanting to decapitate him, but Chromos held his head, and the boy escaped breathlessly.

After cutting Chromos's hand, in the blink of an eye, a bright light pierced through the sky, breaking Chromos's field, causing him to lose control of his body, and consciousness returned to Jimmy.

Finding himself pinned to the ground, the old man said, "Who is this fool attacking my students and opening his field in the middle of my castle?"

"Sire, he's a controlled zombie, but he's very powerful."

"Who are you? Did you open that field?"

Then, Jimmy regains consciousness and says, "Old man, he's crazy. Carter sent me to you."

"Carter?"

"Yes, Carter. He sent a message to you."

The old man receives the message and releases him. "You want to control the zombie within you and enhance your abilities, don't you?"

"Yes, I want that."

"Okay, follow me. As for you, stop fighting."

Jimmy lifts his head from the ground.

"Wait, you fool. Who is Carter?"

"It's none of your business."

After raising his head, the fool starts speaking.

"Leave him be, Virus."

"Welcome to us. I'm Brad, and this is Virus. The one you pushed away is called Kals. Welcome back to the castle. You were close to killing me."

"I'm sorry, but when the complete transformation with Chromos occurs, I lose control over it."

"No problem. The important thing is he didn't decapitate me."

"But where is the castle? I don't see anything but trees."

"Haha, I think you can't see the castle because you still can't control the zombie inside you. Tell him to open the aura and direct it only towards your eyes."

Virus speaks: "I told you he's dumb."

"Chromos, what do you want, facing the aura towards my eyes?"

"Alright, for you."

After that, Jimmy saw the castle within the old man's field, realizing that he knows nothing about how to control the zombie.
