Level up Zombie-Chapter 196 Becoming An Enemy

The side that was supporting Crunk were confident, as they were almost leaning on cars, sitting back and relaxing. As for the rest of the Wild Bones, they were nervous. Even though Zain had proved himself when fighting against the evolved zombies, this was something completely different.

Humans were smarter than the zombies, and this one in particular had a special power. The things Zain did, they seemed extraordinary, but were still within the realm of human capabilities.

"Do you think he can win?" Nit asked.

Hearing this question, Dali started to think back to the subway station. In his mind there was a sure way for Zain to win this fight, but would he reveal that type of power here?

'If someone learned he had the power to control zombies, then maybe even the military and other countries would search for him.'

There was no chime or bell for when the fight would start, which was why hidden behind his back, Crunk was already heating up one of his fingers. From behind, his team members could see him charging up his power, then swinging his arm out, a laser-like bullet shot out.

The attack wasn't as fast as a bullet, but in a lot of ways it worked a lot better than one. For one, it made no noise, meaning it wouldn't attract the surrounding zombies in the area.

'Let's test this out first.' Zain thought, as he stepped to the side and swung his white sword out. The energy beam wouldn't hit him, but still could potentially cut through the sword.

Just like before, the energy beam was unable to go through the weapon. However, it shook a bit as it took the attack.

'The good news is that the weapon can take his power, but it's not as sturdy as the Titan blade. A few more hits and it might break.' Zain thought.

The surprise attack didn't quite work, and it was mainly due to Zain's agility stat. It didn't just increase his speed, but also his perception and was how he was able to track things so well.

After all, if there was a point where Zain could truly move at the speed of a car, what was the point if he was unable to see things around him? For now though, he would keep his true speed underwraps.

Pulling out his other hand, Crunk started to fire another laser, and matching it Zain swung his Titan sword. As it hit, a small ping sound was made and the laser evaporated into nothing.

"Damn you!" Crunk shouted, as Crunk fired one laser after another toward Zain. He continued to swing his Titan sword, hitting each one. It was easy for him to tell which hand Crunk would use and when he would fire because Crunk's fingers lit up.

'I guess this whole time all you've been doing is fighting zombies, so you don't even know your own weaknesses yet. Oh well, it just means it's better for me!' Zain thought.

So far he had been in a stationary position blocking all of the attacks, but for the first time while blocking the laser hits, he started to move forward as well. For now, it was very important for Zain not to win this fight outright or too easily.

If he struggled it wouldn't look good either, as the other members would think they could do what they wished. For him, the best way was to win the fight suddenly. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

"Your sword, just because you have that sword, you're able to block my hits. Well then, try and block this!" Crunk shouted, as he pointed all of his fingers at Zain.

Each one of them lit up, but it gave Zain a brief break. Still, ten lasers at once wasn't something that he would be able to block.

'I could just block the attacks aimed at my head. My body should be able to deal with it.' Zain thought.

Just as he was about to do that, he looked down at the Bonezom machete, and remembered one of its abilities.

'Wait a second, maybe that will work.'

[Weapon skill has been activated]

The machete started to change its form, as the shaft turned into a handle and the rest of the weapon spread out slightly, now round in shape and larger in size. What Zain had created for himself was a shield.

All of the lasers came out, and moving out of the way, Zain dodged a few of them, and used his shield to block most of the hits that were aimed at his head and heart. It looked like Crunk had let his anger get the better of him and he had tried to kill Zain.

If he had aimed at several different places, then Zain would have maybe still been hit.

'The weapon's transformation skill is good, but a few more hits and it would be done for. The shield shape doesn't suit it, but it comes handy in situations like this!'

Zain charged forward, his head under the shield, with nothing to worry about. He was also already at a close enough distance where it took only two steps to reach him, then out from behind the shield, Zain swung the Titan sword cutting off the hand of Crunk.

"ARGHHH MY HA-"

Before Crunk could finish his sentence, Zain swung it again, slicing off the other hand. It went through with ease and was nothing like when he cut through the Titan's or the other zombies' bodies.

Out of shock and unable to use his powers, Crunk fell to the floor and could see Zain standing over him.

"Wait, what are you doing! Are you going to kill me?" Crunk asked.

"Isn't that what you tried to do to me, moments ago?" Zain replied.

"You can't kill me, if you do, you'll become an enemy of the Zombie Hunters. They will come after you for killing one of us! You said you wanted to join us as well, right... just don't kill me!" Crunk cried.

The others that were standing by the side, were afraid to jump in. It was taking them some time to process what had just occurred.

"It's okay." Zain replied. "I'm already the main enemy of you Zombie Hunters anyway."
