Chapter 289: Not holding back



A great amount of force had been put into Wendy's swing. She had never thought about using her powers this way before. She either used weapons or just her wind powers to defeat her enemy, but after hearing Zain say a few words, it almost seemed so simple.

Why hadn't she thought about it, enhancing her own strength and attacks with her sword? With this attack, the wind pushing and swirling around the sword creating a sharp edge, she felt like it was possible to defeat stage three Zombies with her strength alone and could perhaps do the same as Zain had done in defeating the demons.

The sword struck Carl's fist, and a large amount of power continued forward through Carl and hitting the ground. The grass that was on the floor had been cut into tiny little pieces. For a moment, it looked like Carl's fist was being pushed back.

That was until the hardening around his arm had changed, cracks appeared in it, showing red lines looking like the veins on a human hand. The hardening on the arm looked as if it was transitioning in color from a black to a light grey, moving towards the end of the fist before an explosion of red power hit the sword.

It exploded and the sword shattered, causing shards to fly all over the place, and some even cutting her face. They were light scratches, but she had closed her eyes for fear that a shard might get in her eye.

She soon felt someone grab onto her head, and the two of them going through the air. When she opened her eyes, she could see that Carl was holding onto her head, and her feet were dangling a few inches from the floor.

"I... I lost," Wendy said.

It was clear at any time after her sword had broken, Carl was able to kill her.

Humfree, who was watching, started to clap, and so did a few of the others, and before she knew it, everyone started to clap. It was a good performance from the human.

"You did well. I believe you are the first person who has ever been able to push Carl that far. That deserves praise in itself; you are welcome here to the Dark Zombies!" Humfree said.

A large weight had finally been lifted off her shoulders, all the muscles in her arm were sore, she wouldn't be surprised if she had torn a few of them and was only holding on due to the adrenaline in her body.

With all those matches out of the way, it was finally time, there was only one fight that was left, Zain.

Walking forward, unlike all the others before him, there was no fear as he entered the fighting area.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a break? You have fought a few fights in a row," Zain said.

Carl couldn't help but smile as he heard this, but just shook his head and got in the center.

"Ha, what a cocky bastard," one of the zombies said. "How can he be like that after already seeing everything that Carl can do?"

"Hey, who knows, maybe there's a reason why he's so confident."

Humfree was extremely excited about this match, and he had to agree, there had to be a reason why Zain was so confident. Last night as they stayed here, although they were left to their own devices, Humfree had actually asked the other Zombies to report back if they noticed anything.

While all the others he had come with were asleep and he was keeping guard, the zombies had reported something extremely strange - Zain had suddenly collapsed, falling to his side. It was almost as if he was asleep, even though Zombies didn't need any sleep, which was why it was strange.

"Hey, do you need me to make you some weapons like last time? You fight best with two swords, right?" Anna asked.

She had used a lot of her blood energy already but she had been trying to regain her energy as much as possible for Zain. For some reason, she wanted him to win this fight. If he did, then she felt like it would almost cement the position they were in. Carl was clearly the strongest Zombie here but if Zain was able to overtake that title, then they would have to respect him and those that were with him.

"It's okay," Zain said, shaking his head, and stretching out both of his hands. "I have my own weapons I can use."

Everyone raised an eyebrow, wondering what Zain meant by this because there was nothing in his hands or on his body. So how would he have his own weapons? Seemingly, out of thin air, a glow was seen in both of his hands as objects started to materialize.

In one hand, a dark black single-handed sword. It wasn't a machete but an actual sword like they would use in ancient times to fight, and then in the other hand there was a white sword, that looked more so to be made of a bony material rather than metal.

"How did he manage to do that, was it magic?" One of the zombies said.

"Maybe he has a power like the others as well, but wait, isn't he a zombie? Have you heard of a zombie having abilities before?"

Humfree's heart was beating even faster, ready to jump out of his throat.

"I got these just for you because I'm going to win this fight no matter what the cost," Zain said.

On the night before when he had passed out, it was because he had decided to re-enter the weapons carnival once more. It was the last time he could enter since he didn't have any type of return pass and he tried his best to go through as many waves as possible.

In the end, there were a few things that Zain had unlocked, multiple crafting recipes he could use, as well as stage 3 crystals. Enough to create a stage 3 Titan sword, as well as a Stage 3 Zombon sword.

With his mastery already being the highest at level 5, he was well prepared for the match. Truth be told, Zain wasn't so sure about revealing the weapons or his skills like so in front of everyone. He always thought it was best for him to hide them.

However, there were two things that convinced him. Humfree was a person that just wanted power, from the look on his face he was obsessed with getting rid of these demons, so showing him what he could do was just a plus.

Humfree would never attempt to get rid of him after seeing how strong he was. As for the second reason, this was what sealed the deal, it was the quest that had come up.

[Defeat the person who has been haunting your dreams]

[Quest reward: Master Card]

'A Master card, it's the first time I've seen that before, I can't let this go, no matter what. I have to get this system reward.'
