"Wooo-"
Seeing that it was about to crash into him and become a shattered Green-Headed Skeleton, it desperately opened its mouth and spat out a stream of green gas.
Sequence Talent 9-833 [Upper Respiratory Infection]
The Vampire Zombie charged straight into it and inhaled the green gas. His body stiffened slightly, and he gave what sounded like two awkward coughs before immediately recovering.
An Aberrant like this had long since developed immunity to simple viruses.
Smack!
He swung a palm at the green skull, but Alice spun a thread of spiritual qi. At the critical moment, she attached it to the skull and yanked it back.
The Vampire Zombie's palm missed and struck a nearby bookshelf. The entire shelf exploded in an instant, its wooden fragments pulverized.
A lingering whirlwind carried on with the momentum and slammed into the wall, punching straight through its thick surface and snapping the steel reinforcement inside.
Xu Ye's eyelid twitched.
Just what I'd expect from a level-three Aberrant.
With my current physical toughness, even taking one hit would probably be too much.
Instead of fleeing the library, he ducked into the stairwell leading to the third floor.
Heavy footsteps thundered behind him. Each step seemed to shake the building like an excavator, making the density of his pursuer's body all too apparent.
"Stay. Stay here with me. I don't want to be here alone. Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have locked you up. Please, don't abandon me."
The Vampire Zombie rambled incoherently, roaring as he chased Xu Ye.
"Stay, my ass! Who do you think you are, Phoenix Legend?"
Xu Ye glanced back and saw the Vampire Zombie suddenly accelerate. A blood arrow shot from his mouth, making the air along its path shimmer as though boiling water were steaming.
Buzz!
