David’s attack exploited the weak point of the ghost zombies. In the previous assault, David was merely testing the waters, forcing the ghost zombies to reveal their true strength. Since both of them were at the same level, their abilities were mostly on par, and mindlessly confronting them head-on would only waste precious time.
Through careful observation, David discovered that the crucial aspect of the ghost zombies was the layer of Yin Wind surrounding them. Whenever the ghost zombies launched an attack, this Yin Wind quickly condensed around their bodies, forming a fluid defensive layer that provided them with maximum protection against incoming strikes.
This made David realize that he needed to find a loophole, and he set his sights on the long-handled axe. The aura entwined around the axe seemed to be an integral part of the ghost zombies. This meant that he could inflict damage by striking the axe.
Therefore, David employed a tactic that appeared unrelated to his true intentions, forcing the ghost zombies to lift the long-handled axe to defend. That’s when the scene played out as before. Sometimes on the battlefield, it’s not always about relying on sheer bravery; keen observation and calm analysis can often be the keys to victory.
Taking advantage of the ghost zombies’ momentary distraction, David looked over at Sally and the others. They were still battling the Soul Villain, but now they were gaining the upper hand, overwhelming the Soul Villain with relentless attacks.
After dodging its strike, Sally unleashed a red lightning bolt from her fingertips, like a sword descending from the heavens, piercing straight into the Soul Villain’s head. The Soul Villain convulsed in pain, its body contorting, and struggling to keep its footing. The others followed up with successive heavy blows, taking advantage of the opportunity created by Sally’s attack. This is why David had the team members work together to deal with the Soul Villain.
No matter how strong the opponent, as long as Sally and Arnold cooperated, they could deliver a powerful blow. And with Cola and Little Black’s indiscriminate biting attacks, plus Sophie’s timely support, David knew the Soul Villain would soon be defeated. 𝚍ｏ𝚟𝚕.ｏｒｇ
Meanwhile, David’s attention turned to Charles, who was still floating in mid-air. Sweat dripped from his forehead more and more profusely, running down his nose and falling to the ground. His body was trembling more severely than before, clearly unable to endure this forced strain for much longer. Half the time had already passed since they started, and if they couldn’t take down the ghost zombie within the next five minutes, not only would Charles collapse under the weight of his abilities, but each of them would become prey for the ghost zombie’s slaughter.
David’s brow furrowed slightly, and the Space Blade in his hand suddenly hummed. For the sake of his team and for the survival of their world in the face of the apocalypse, he had to kill the ghost zombie before him within the next five minutes! The ghost zombie, recovering from its earlier shock, assessed David and revealed a fierce, angry expression.
“It seems I need to show you my true power. When you become a Soul Villain, I’ll make you suffer beyond imagination!” The ghost zombie gritted its teeth, speaking with venomous anger towards David.
The nearby Fatso couldn’t help but speak out, “This guy again, talking tough? Who does he think he is?”
“Damn you, I’m telling you, don’t be so arrogant! What Soul Villain? If I get angry, I’ll wipe you and your descendants off the face of the earth! Look at you, half-human and half-ghost, and you still have the nerve to be alive? If I were you, I would have already jumped down from here and let everyone here witness it! What’s with that glare? You got a problem? You can’t accept it? Do you dare compare yourself to my big brother?” Fatso said, pointing at the ghost zombie.
As the ghost zombie stared back at him, Fatso quickly became timid and shut his mouth. But his gaze towards the ghost zombie remained smug and provocative. With David as his backer, Fatso had no reason to be afraid.
As expected, Fatso’s words completely infuriated the ghost zombie. Its aura exploded like a burst balloon, and the already damaged walls around them instantly turned into rubble, crashing down to the apartment below.
“I… will kill you all!” The ghost zombie lifted its head, its pitch-black eyes resembling dark abysses, chilling to behold with just one glance.
“Come out, kids!” The ghost zombie moved its joints, making “crackling” sounds. As it spoke, dozens of strands of Yin Wind suddenly split from its body. Each strand quickly transformed after leaving its body, eventually forming dozens of Soul Villains. The Soul Villains stared at David, opening their large mouths and emitting a piercing sound, as if they were about to tear him into pieces at any moment.
“Wow! This guy has so many descendants?” Fatso remarked, looking at each sinister-looking Soul Villain. This was the ghost zombie’s ultimate ability.” People killed by it would have their souls absorbed, and the ghost zombie would pour its consciousness into these souls, turning them into Soul Villains.
The ghost zombie could freely manipulate and control each Soul Villain to fight, and their combat power was remarkable. From the moment the first Soul Villain appeared, David knew about this situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the team members work together to deal with them, both to save time and to use group tactics to suppress the Soul Villains’ strength.
Just then, Sally struck another lightning bolt at one of the Soul Villains at the end of the corridor. With a scream, it disappeared completely from the air.
The group of people gathered around David, adjusting their breaths. Each of them had given their all in the previous battle, and their stamina had been depleted considerably.
“So many Soul Villains again?” Arnold frowned as he looked at the dozen identical Soul Villains before them. Killing one almost drained their stamina, so how were they going to deal with so many? The others also had complicated expressions on their faces.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll take care of it,” David said with a light smile, stepping forward. This caused all the team members, including Fatso, to be taken aback for a moment.
Then, Sally, Arnold, and the others sighed in relief. They knew that as long as David took action, any problem would be resolved. Only Fatso scratched his head, surprised by David’s abilities.
Wow, this young man is so powerful! Those are over a dozen Soul Villains! Their combat power is outstanding, and David is going up against them alone? Fatso couldn’t help but tightly grip his large cleaver, ready to rush in and assist David at any moment.
