Wain killed about a third of all the monsters and decided to head for the big monster that broke the barricade. This monster was called Bonecrusher. It was huge, and its front paws looked like massive hammers.

'This monster must be many times stronger than zombies and simple mutated insects. But he's still standing in one place, and I don't know why. However, if I kill it, it won't matter.' Wain thought.

Wain got close to Bonecrusher and immediately attacked. The monster spotted him and sprang into action. It put its massive paws forward and blocked Wain's attacks.

'Damn, his front paws are as strong as a shield. It's going to be a problem to penetrate them. Then I should change tactics.' Thought Wain and jumped up sharply.

Many people thought that the bigger their enemy was, the stronger he was. Of course, this was true in some cases, but by no means always. Moreover, the small ones had a great advantage over the big ones. They were faster and could attack their huge enemy in places he could not defend.

So Wain decided to jump on Bonecrusher's head. He thought that the monster would not reach him there because of its large but not flexible paws.

However, when Wain's feet touched the monster's head, suddenly, many bloody spikes appeared from the monster's body. But, Wain did not jump back. The spikes were short, and he knew how to dodge this attack.

Wain sharply stabbed the Destruction Sword into the monster's flesh, jumped up, and grabbed on the sword with one hand. It was as if he was standing on the sword upside down. It wasn't hard to make such a move, given his physical prowess.

Bonecrusher realized that Wain had somehow managed to dodge his blow. So he pressed his paws to his body and rolled forward like a snowball.

Wain was surprised by the actions of his enemy. Despite the fact that Bonecrusher was large and looked like a big ball of meat, he proved to be quite a mobile and varied opponent.

"You decided to compete with me in speed? Come on!" Wain said loudly, and instead of bouncing off to the side, he started running in the opposite direction. Moreover, he was cutting the monster's flesh with his dark sword, inflicting numerous wounds.

Bonecrusher was spinning pretty fast like a wheel, but Wain's speed and dexterity were enough to stay in one place. It looked strange from the outside, but Bonecrusher was in real agony at that moment. The monster thought he could crush Wain in this way, but instead, it received many wounds.

Wain thought that he could easily defeat Bonecrusher this way, as he inflicted more and more wounds on the monster with each passing second. At one point, however, Bonecrusher stopped, and Wain felt as if an invisible whip had been tied around his neck.

But, it was not just a feeling. In an instant, the invisible whip tightened, and Wain flew back several meters.

Wain quickly regrouped, fell to his feet, and stepped back to a safe distance. He was confused. He didn't understand what had just happened.

'What was that? It wasn't my imagination. Someone tied a whip around my neck and pulled me out of there. But, who did it?' Thought Wain looking around carefully.

Bonecrusher did not attack Wain. The monster stood still, but its actions made sense. For, a second later, a faint glow appeared around its wounds, and its flesh began to heal, and its wounds began to heal.

At that moment, Wain smirked and muttered, "I see, so that's why he didn't attack with the other monsters. There's someone else here, and he's a covert puppeteer."

Wain came to this conclusion because it explained the recent whiplash attack. If his enemy was invisible or had some ability to conceal himself, it was no surprise.

However, Wain could not see the hidden puppeteer. Moreover, he did not even know roughly what his enemy looked like or where he might be. This made it much more difficult to find.

'Hmm, I've been whipped, which means the puppeteer must be somewhere in that direction.' Thought Wain looking behind Bonecrusher's back.

He decided that this was the most likely one of all the possibilities. Most of the puppeteers weren't very strong. They made up for it by controlling the bodies of others. Therefore, standing behind the huge Bonecrusher was pretty safe.

The next moment Wain dashed toward where he assumed the puppeteer was. Wain thought he could sense his enemy's aura up close.

As Wain approached Bonecrusher, the monster immediately attacked him. Wain easily dodged the strong but slow blows.

However, once Wain was in place, he could not detect the puppeteer. He tried to feel the aura or energy waves, but nothing worked.

Then Wain decided to close his eyes and concentrate as much as possible on his goal. If he could not find the puppeteer now, he could hardly defeat Bonecrusher. After all, such big opponents were very hardy, and they needed to do a lot of damage before dying. But, if such monsters were to be treated by someone from afar, the fight could be endless.

'I can't see him, and I can't feel his aura either. He is very well hidden. However, I can try to hear him. My hearing is better now than most animals and insects before the apocalypse.' Wain thought.

Bonecrusher tried to attack Wain while he wasn't paying attention to him. But when the monster's attack almost reached Wain, he stepped forward. The hammer-like paw plunged deep into the ground behind Wain. There were many cracks in the ground, and a shockwave went out from the impact.

The next moment Wain opened his eyes and smilingly said, "Found it."

Wain's body was electrified, and he turned into lightning. Moments later, he thrust his dark sword into the void, but suddenly scarlet blood spurted from the void. That's when the puppeteer's disguise began to fade.

Wain abruptly ran away to the side, taking the puppeteer with him. He didn't want to be interrupted by Bonecrusher. He would deal with that big piece of meat a little later, and no one would interfere with him anymore.

When Wain stepped back to a safe distance, he looked carefully at the already dead puppeteer. To his surprise, it was a zombie, but that wasn't exactly true.

Everyone knew that zombies could infect people if they were wounded. In that case, the person would become a zombie after some time. However, what happens if a zombie wounds a person who has already activated his Soul Altar and received some initial abilities?

It was simple. That person would simply become a zombie, only with superpowers. This zombie would be much stronger than the others and have the abilities he already had before turning.

"I see, so this man had such powerful abilities before he became a zombie. He was unlucky that some zombie was able to damage him. Otherwise, a great future would have awaited him.." Wain thought, and a white soul flew out of the zombie's body at the same moment.
