Finishing the Job
"Bang!" Kronos's Lucky One Cane collided violently with the Zombie's fist.
In that instant, Kronos was truly grateful for his choice, because the hand holding his Walking Stick was so shaken that it lost all feeling, and blood immediately flowed from the mouth of his hand.
But on the other side, the Zombie simply moved his wrist and, as if nothing had happened, threw another punch at Kronos.
Left with no other option, Kronos had to repeatedly raise his Walking Stick and clash it against the ground.
At that moment, he realized one thing: when the gap in strength reached this point, technique was no longer of any use.
Especially when dealing with Zombie, no matter how much you hit them, it doesn't hurt. What can you do?
But now he has no choice but to confront them head-on, because he can't stop their attacks, and these attacks can basically render him incapable of fighting back in an instant.
Of course, what Kronos intended to use against this Zombie was never this Lucky One Cane.
However, the reason for clashing so many times was simply to figure out the opponent's attack habits.
This Zombie's methods are indeed very limited. After the Spell restricted the corpses he could control, he was basically left with only straight punches. This shows that he knew almost nothing about fighting.
Therefore, Kronos decisively activated the Vampire’s Heart with his Spirituality, and immediately a pair of Wings of Darkness his wings, he floated directly into the air.
These Wings of Darkness are incredibly fast, but unfortunately they can't be used for long periods. Otherwise, with just these Wings, Kronos could have escaped.
Although it cannot be used for a long time, the short-term airtime is enough to gain an advantage in battles against Zombie that cannot fly.
Seeing Kronos take flight, the Zombie panicked. If he let him escape, it would be a huge loss. So he suddenly jumped, trying to grab Kronos's foot.
But Kronos was prepared for this move; he pulled his leg back, preventing the Zombie from grabbing him.
He could have flown much higher, but he deliberately kept his altitude at a level that made it seem like the Zombie could reach him, but in reality, they couldn't.
Seeing that it had almost caught it this time, the Zombie got excited and jumped again, much higher than the first time.
This was exactly the effect Kronos wanted, so he couldn't let Cronus catch him so easily, and thus he hid.
Several times in a row, Kronos subtly adjusted his movements, preventing Kronos from touching anything.
Just as the Zombie was getting tired, Kronos took advantage of his leap and threw out a handful of green powder.
A green Time Ray directly towards the Zombie; this was the killing move Kronos had prepared.
Kronos had already reviewed all his methods and found that only his Elf Charm and Time Ray could harm a Series 6 Zombie.
However, the Elf Charm can only be used once in a short period of time, and he used it to instantly kill the Werewolf. Now, the only spell he can use is the Time Ray.
Given the power of the Time Ray, if it hits the Zombie's head, it will be an instant kill, and the Zombie's head might even disappear completely.
That's why Kronos chose this plan, making him jump constantly. When he's in the air, it's harder for him to dodge attacks, making it easier to hit his head.
But to my surprise, it ultimately failed. The Zombie didn't react in time, and his attack missed.
To be honest, at that distance, even with the assistance of Machine Thinking, Kronos shouldn't have missed. There's only one possibility: Kronos was influenced.
This was something Kronos hadn't considered at all; the Zombie possessed an Beyonder Item that influenced him at a crucial moment, allowing him to evade Fatal Strike.
But he only dodged that one fatal blow; the Time Ray still pierced through his shoulder blade.
This cannot be explained by ordinary injuries, because it was an attack from above, the scapula was broken, and the Zombie's left arm was completely useless.
Because Kronos was flying in the sky, he had a perfect view of the wound from top to bottom.
Following the wound, Kronos could clearly see the half-heart of the Zombie beating in his chest cavity.
The power of the Time Ray was indeed astonishing; the Zombie's shoulder blade and the upper part of its heart vanished into thin air. But unfortunately, this kind of injury was hardly fatal for a Zombie.
After the Zombie landed injured, it knelt on one knee. After a few seconds, it suddenly raised its head and stared intently at Kronos.
Kronos could clearly see those bloodshot eyes, and the fierce gaze made Kronos shudder.
At this moment, Kronos had only one thought in his mind: if he couldn't kill him today, he might keep an eye on him for the rest of his life.
But now Kronos has used up almost everything he can.
Only a few Scroll remained, kept hidden away.
This was given to him by the Marquis Argel when he left Backlund.
Marquis Argel is Sequence 6 Scroll Professor who can create Skill Scroll based on the extraordinary power of Sequence 5 Beyonder. These scrolls are equivalent to Sequence 6 Peak Strike or barely reach Sequence 5.
However, these Scroll are not easy to make, so there are only three of this level in Kronos's Mystic Pouch; the rest are Sequence 6 skills.
These three are: the Seeker Pathway, Sequence 5 Astrologer's Starlight Protection; the Warrior Pathway, Sequence 5 Guardian's Guardian Armor; and the Sailor Pathway, Sequence 5 Ocean Singer's Lightning Arrow.
It wasn't that Marquis Argel was unwilling to give him more; it was mainly because by Sequence 5, detailed Information on many abilities became difficult to obtain. Moreover, the success rate of creating Scroll across different levels was not high. In addition, Marquis Argel also wanted to test his son, so he only gave him three.
Of these three cards, two are defensive, and only one is offensive, so Kronos has no choice.
His eyes were fixed intently on the Zombie on the ground, then he slowly reached into the Mystic Pouch and took out a pale blue Scroll.
Upon seeing the Scroll, the Zombie underground suddenly seemed to have a premonition; their pupils dilated, and they turned and ran.
But given the circumstances, how could Kronos possibly let this huge problem go just to save a Scroll?
If it's just this Zombie himself, that's fine, but if he attracts more members of the Rose School, then things will be really bad.
So Kronos didn't hesitate to use his Spirituality to lock onto the Zombie, and then directly tore open the Scroll in his hand.
Kronos's hair suddenly stood up against the laws of nature, each strand distinct, crackling with electricity. A bow materialized in front of him, and when the bowstring was drawn, the sky darkened, as if dark clouds were gathering and lightning was leaping.
Silver-white Lightning surged from his hair, intertwining with the long arrow before shooting out. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a thick Lightning struck, overlapping the arrow. The arrow turned completely silver-white, as if from the god of thunder, and shot towards the head of the fleeing Zombie with unavoidable speed.
This Zombie does indeed possess an Beyonder Item, a Sealed Artifact of the Mentor of Disorder level, which he obtained in exchange for all his contributions to the Rose School over more than twenty years.
It's called Sealed Artifact because of its extremely negative effects. It only has one ability: chaos. It can evade attacks, but the cost of each use is the draining of all Spirituality, which cannot be Spirituality for a month.
If used a second time before one's Spirituality is restored, it will result in immediate death.
It was precisely because this Sealed Artifact had limited power and significant side effects that it ended up in his hands; otherwise, how could such a valuable item have fallen into the hands of a Sequence 6?
Therefore, this Zombie had no way to dodge the Arrow of Lightning this time.
No matter how fast a person runs, they can't outrun Lightning. So in an instant, the Zombie was struck by Arrow of Lightning, which shot straight into the back of its head.
When Kronos flew closer, he saw the Zombie lying on the ground with its head half-blown off, the contents of its head charred black.
At this moment, Kronos couldn't help but marvel at the Life Force of the Zombie. Half of its heart was gone, and most of its brain was charred, but Kronos could still hear its breathing.
"Why bother? If I had just hit you directly in the head with my Time Ray, you wouldn't have felt any Affliction, unlike now where you're in so much Affliction." Kronos gently landed in front of the Zombie and looked at it as Zombie spoke.
"Why would you refuse? We've never failed in our missionary work!" the Zombie said, panting heavily.
That's not wrong, because when preaching, one will inevitably mention the Honorific Name of the Mother Tree of Desire. Although one cannot attract His attention, one can at least slightly arouse the desires of the other person.
The current Rose School advocates hedonism, and such doctrines are bound to attract an Beyonder whose desires are aroused.
However, he didn't know that this method only worked on people who had never heard of the Mother Tree of Desire. Once they became wary, the success rate would drop considerably.
As for Kronos, this is a special case. Not to mention his Honorific Name, even when the Mother Tree of Desire directly cast pollution upon him, it couldn't break through the Concealment of Time, so naturally he remained unharmed.
Kronos shook his head, showing no interest in explaining, and instead drew his pistol from its Holster, pointing it at the Zombie's head.
Kronos was alert and kept five or six steps away from the Zombie, so he had no chance of turning the tide and could only close his eyes and wait for the Bullet to Descent.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three gunshots rang out, and the Zombie's head was completely shattered, losing its last bit of Life Force.
Kronos had absolutely no interest in the Zombie's Beyonder Characteristic, as the possibility of it causing contamination was rather high.
