Chapter 50 Leaving the city [6]
[Steel Body (First order, Level 3, Active skill)]
[Description: Once activated, the user's body becomes like refined steel. Steel body gives the user enhanced defense and strength but slightly reduces agility.]
"It's a good skill if you want to become a power fighter." Luke said and asked, "Have you read its description?"
"Yes, sir Luke." Rio nodded.
"Before you decide to learn it, let me tell you, you can only learn 3 external active skills until you evolve to the second order after level 50. So, now think about it whether or not you want to learn it." Luke said, before turning to look at Lori and Julia.
Lori's breathing had started to become rough after running around the zombie all this while.
Suddenly, she went to the right side of the zombie and slashed at its legs. But because the strike didn't have much power behind it, the sword only gave the zombie a minor scratch. However, it successfully attracted its attention to the left side.
"She is going to kill it," Shadow commented from the side. Luke nodded in response.
Indeed, right after she slashed at its left from the left side, she took a deep breath and run around it at her full speed, arriving behind it. She then grabbed the sword handle with both hands and stabbed at the back of its head with all her might.
Kacha!
The sword's pointed tip entered the zombie's skull with a clear stabbing sound and came out of its forehead. The zombie froze, and then it fell forward.
Thud!
Phew! ๐๐ณ๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐.๐ค๐๐
After killing it, she heaved a deep breath and smiled in satisfaction, but it was quite constrained because she was struggling to suppress the disgust which she felt upon taking a life. Fortunately, it wasn't as strong as the first time, so she didn't vomit.
She then turned to look at her daughter, who was struggling to fight with her zombie.
"Julia, don't panic. Take deep breaths." She shouted at her.
hands outstretched toward her; she stepped to the side and chopped with her sword Julia, whose face had turned pale white because of her multiple narrow escapes with death, heard her mother's advice and started to take deep breaths.
After a while later, she calmed down a little and her hasty, panicked movements lessened, making it easier for her to dodge the zombie's attack.
She gripped her sword with both and when the zombie came at her with one of its hands outstretched toward her; she stepped to the side and chopped with her sword at its hand.
Katch!
Sword slashed into the hand, cut the flesh but couldn't completely cut the bone.
Grrr!
The zombie growled and lunged toward her. Julia hastily pulled her sword back and narrowly dodged the attack by falling to the ground backward.
Luke, Shadow, and others shook their heads when they saw this while Alice who was watching over her got ready to help her because after falling to the ground, she had put herself in the disadvantageous position since she wouldn't be able to dodge now.
Grrr!
The zombie lunged at her, wanting to scratch and bite her.
Julia paled when she realized what she had done, but she didn't panic and hurriedly rolled off to the side, narrowly missing the claw strike. She then quickly jumped to her feet and kicked the zombie's butt, which was already leaning forward.
Thud!
Thanks to her kick, the zombie stumbled and fell face first to the ground.
Looking at it lying on the ground, Julia's modest chest heaved up and down as she took a few quick, deep breaths.
She then rushed to its side, staying out of its hands' range, tightened her grip on the sword and hacked it down at its neck.
Kacha!
The sword blade slashed three inches deep.
Grrr!
The zombie growled in pain and started to fumble with its hands and legs, wanting to charge at her.
'Damn it. I'm too weak.' She cursed inwardly when she saw she couldn't even slash through half of the zombie's neck.
After watching Luke, Alice and Shadow effortlessly beheading the zombies on the way, she had thought it was easy. Only now did she realize it wasn't.
Of course, she could've realized it the moment she failed to cut through the zombie's hand, but her mind was working on overload at that moment, so she couldn't register that properly.
She adjusted her position slightly so she would be out of the fumbling zombie's reach and then once again hack at its neck with all her might.
Kacha!
The sword cut deeper in the neck bone, but couldn't slash through it completely. However, she didn't get discouraged, raised the sword again and then brought in down once more.
Katcha!
Still failed to sever its neck.
Kacha!
Kacha!
Kacha!
She continued to hack at it in a frenzy until she heard a voice in her head.
[The evolution requirements have been fulfilled. You can access your status now.]
Thud!
When she heard this, she dropped her sword and fell down on her bottom, taking deep breaths while smiling happily.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Lori ran over to her and hugged her tightly. "Are you alright, Julia?"
"Yes, mom. I'm fine." She said and then smile even more brightly, "I have also become an evolver, mom."
"YโฆYeah, congratulations!" Lori said, surprised by the fact that her daughter didn't feel any disgust like a normal person would when they killed someone for the first time. She was even smiling so happily. Sure, the zombie wasn't a human, but it was still a living being, wasn't it?
Alice was also looked at her with raised brows.
"Sweet! She has potential." Shadow commented, standing beside Luke and then chuckled, "Don't let her become your enemy. Who knows, she might also hack you into pieces too."
Luke knew what he was hinting at and snorted, "Do you really have to spout nonsense every time? Ben is already enough for that."
Saying this, he walked over to the mother and daughter duo and smiled at Julia. "Congratulations!" (f)reenovelkiss
Seeing him, Julia smiled charmingly. "Thank you." She then turned to Alice. "Thank you, Alice. If not for you, I would've died many times before killing it."
"It's alright. I was just doing what he asked me to." Alice calmly said.
