Elijah made a decision within himself and immediately controlled his perception to sense the female zombie. Then, with a punch, he broke its neck, destroying its brainstem.
The female zombie collapsed instantly.
Elijah drew out his dagger and extracted its corpse core.
It was a translucent white corpse core, almost free of impurities, with a hint of orange beginning to show at its core.
"Indeed, this female zombie is about to advance to the second stage. If I don't deal with it now, it might break free from my control before me!"
This was another major reason Elijah chose it.
Facing that freaky "mental intimidation" ability, Elijah had a vague sense of it.
Since there were uncontrollable factors, it was better to give up on it!
Confirming the dissipation of the Seed of Consciousness linked within the female zombie's body, Elijah returned to the stern.
