Theo left his clone to ensure that the other zombies wouldn't be back so soon.
Clone Theo waved his hand down and pushed the air above them to the ground, pressuring all seven of them for a few seconds.
Meanwhile, Ava leaped to the Zombie Mage who had cast his spell, trying to hit Theo with black flame.
He adjusted his target and shot Ava with his black flame, but Ava had covered her body with blue lightning as she kicked the flame, dispersing it to the side by the sheer pressure generated from her lightning.
That kick continued straight to the zombie's head.
The zombie was better than the one she fought as he raised his staff, blocking Ava's all-out attack.
The moment the kick connected to the staff, the force was enough to push him back, leaving a small and short trail on the ground.
However, the Zombie Mage seemed to be fine as it continued to summon another spell.
Unfortunately for him, Theo's Magic Bullets finally showed their might. The bullets had looped around them and hit the mage from the side, creating several holes in its head.
"It didn't kill him," Theo muttered while clicking his tongue, knowing that unless the zombie's head was obliterated, the zombie could still recover.
Ava heard Theo's voice with her rabbit ears and quickly kicked the head, crushing it.
As much as he wanted to get the EXP from the Zombie Mage, he didn't have that much luxury.
As soon as he shot those bullets, the archers released their arrows.
As he just used his Blink, he couldn't use it again. So, Theo used his Elemental Shields to block their attacks.
The arrows, however, flared up, spreading the black-colored energy to his Elemental Shields, corroding it until nothing remained.
"That looks dangerous," Theo muttered and thrust his spear. "Cannon Blast."
His Cannon Blast dispersed all the energy to the side while destroying the ground and hit the Zombie Archers.
As if they expected such an attack from Theo, the two archers jumped to the side to avoid it.
Theo followed the one on the right with his spear.
The archer released another arrow, but Theo struck it with his spear while making his way to the zombie. The other one obviously wouldn't let Theo hit her, so he aimed once again, wanting to stop Theo on his track for even a second to let the other zombie get away.
Unfortunately for him, his head was already turned upside down when he saw a small rabbit blowing his neck. After that, his vision went blank after the small rabbit struck him with her lightning.
"!!!" The last archer took a moment to see her comrade, who had fallen in Ava's hands, albeit it was the worst mistake that someone could make when facing Theo.
Theo used that chance to thrust his spear to the zombie's neck before pulling it up, ripping the zombie's head apart.
[Killed a Zombie Archer.]
[EXP+9700]
Theo nodded to Ava and turned around, finding that his clone already died.
The remaining seven zombies charged at them.
If they still had support, it might be hard, but with only these seven, he had confidence in killing them within three minutes.
He summoned his clone by his side as they shot forty Magic Bullets. The Zombie Knights put their shields in front again, blocking everything that came their way.
However, Theo sent the Magic Bullets to the side and used the Tracking ability to loop around, hitting the Zombie Warriors on the back.
The Zombie Warriors waved their swords to strike down all these bullets, but because all of them did the same thing, Theo and his clone used their "Blink" again and arrived behind the Zombie Knights.
'Zombie Knights have the slowest response while Zombie Mage and Zombie Archer don't have a good awareness of their own surroundings, allowing me to finish them easily with an ambush. The Zombie Warrior is the strongest but useless if they're occupied,' muttered Theo inwardly as his eyes turned bloodshot.
Ava leaped from Theo's shoulder and destroyed one head while Clone Theo used the External Flow to punch the head, giving the same result.
Theo struck his spear to the first one and waved it to the side. Due to the Zombie Knight's slow movement, they didn't manage to react to this kind of attack, so the last one had his head chopped too and died after Clone Theo crushed it.
He had observed them enough in the first one, so Theo smiled and turned around, ignoring the fallen corpses and focusing on the living ones instead.
"There are only three left. Ava, you get the right one. My clone and I will handle the rest."
"Kyu!" Ava nodded and leaped forward.
Theo did the same and confronted the Zombie Warriors.
…
One minute later.
[Killed a Zombie Warrior.]
[EXP+7800]
[You have leveled up.]
"Hmm, I guess this is it for today." Theo looked down, contemplating his choice before calling Ava. "Ava, let's go back."
"Kyu?!" Ava's body shook as she refused to move. "Kyu, Kyu!"
"What are you doing?" Theo asked with a poker face.
Ava threw two punches to the front as if she was still raring to go.
"We are not going to kill more zombies today, though." Theo shook his head helplessly.
"Kyu?!" Ava opened her mouth wide as she was shocked that they were not going to fight anymore, even though Ava started getting the hang of it. At the same time, she raised her head, still seeing the blue sky.
The sun had yet to be on top of their head, so she didn't understand Theo's decision, especially with their current Magic Power reserve, which could last for another twenty to thirty zombies.
"Kyu, Kyu!" She complained while pointing up, telling Theo that it was still in the morning.
However, Theo made a smile as if looking at a fool while saying, "Is that so? I guess you can skip your meal for a week. And since you don't like eating rotten flesh and I need to eat, I thought I needed to go back to another area to bring enough food for us to last seven days here so we can focus on our hunt after setting our camp and food shortage here. That's not needed anymore, no?"
"Kyu!" She took a step back as she just got the scare of her life. She quickly disappeared, only to find her hopping on Theo's shoulder in an instant.
"Why are you changing your mind so fast? Just go hunt those zombies." Theo shrugged.
Ava stuck her cheek to Theo's cheek while moving it up and down as if telling him that she was just joking. "Kyu…"
