Chapter 286: Nancy Osborne

Looking at the zombie that was attacking him in anger, Adam did not retreat at all. And neither was there panic on his face. But instead, there was just a smile. As the zombie approached, he clenched the handle of the battle axe that he was holding, before he took a fighting stance.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

But at this moment, Adam suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air, approaching him. He was a little surprised considering that he had not expected that there was something that was going to head in his direction, at a moment like this when he was facing the zombie.

But there was something else that he found strange, that was the fact that he could not detect any killing intent that was directed towards him. That implied that whatever it was that was launched, it was definitely not headed towards him with the intention of killing.

Nevertheless, it was just for a few microseconds that Adam thought about what it was that was approaching. But still, he reacted immediately, as he listened carefully to the sound of the approaching object.

From the sound, he could tell that the object that was approaching was at a higher level, implying that it was not going to hit him considering his height.

And it seemed that he was right. The zombie that was about to land its punch suddenly paused its movements. Then, instead of attacking Adam, it turned its attention towards the object that was approaching.

Since the punch had changed its trajectory so suddenly, it did not possess the same amount of power that it possessed during the time that it was attacking Adam.

Other than that, since the zombie was forced to stop in advance, it stumbled for a moment, before it finally regained its footing.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion rang in the air the moment that the object and the zombie collided. Since the zombie was not stable enough, the moment that it collided with the object that was flying towards it, it was forced to retreat five or six steps backwards.

As for the object that had hit the zombie, it floated in the air for a moment, before it finally began flying back towards the direction of the territory. But before it could enter into the territory, a bird suddenly flew out of it.

This bird was completely black in color. It was like an ordinary crow, but still, it was bigger as compared to a normal crow. It possessed a wingspan of about 3 meters.

The moment that this bird appeared in the air, everyone’s attention was immediately captured by it. Everyone except for Henry and his group were immediately surprised with the presence of this bird.

This was definitely not the first time that they were seeing this bird. In fact, they had already seen it several times, but, it was completely rare to be able to see it. And anytime that they saw it, they knew what it meant.

Henry and the others had also noticed the bird. Of course, they had already noticed the attack that was launched towards the zombie as it was attacking Adam.

So, the group looked at the bird in the air. The bird was not flying that high, only about 20 m in the air. From this distance, although they could not see it clearly due to the fact that there was the sun in the sky, Henry and the others could see that there was a figure of a person that was on top of the bird.

Additionally, this figure possessed a feminine features. So, at this moment, Henry and the others immediately made a guess on who it was that was on top of the bird. They had already been hearing about the leader of this territory being a female.

So, since this person was possessing great capabilities that was capable of forcing the zombie to take a few steps backwards, that implied that she possessed greater power, and if she belonged to this territory, that implied that she held a high position as well.

And according to the information that he had received during the time that he was inside the territory, Henry understood that there was only one person that was at the very top. And below her, there was a group of people that led the territory in terms of military, or the management.

Since that was the case, Henry believed that this was definitely the leader of this territory. And to say the truth, he was a little surprised by the combat strength that she possessed. It was not that easy to be able to force the zombie that was at the gold rank to retreat.

Currently, from what he could see, the lady was wearing completely black as well. Her raven hair was tied into a ponytail, and on her face, there was a black mask that completely covered her face.

At the object that had hit the zombie flew towards the territory, it finally landed in the hands of the lady. As for the lady, she did not stop there, but being on top of the crow, she headed towards the zombie directly.

It was also during this moment that Henry and the others noticed what item it was that she had used to attack the zombie. It looked like a small staff about half a meter long. It was not the only one considering that the lady was holding another one just like that in her other hand as she used her left hand to grab the one that flew towards her.

"Retreat right now!" The lady on top of the crow shouted towards Adam. Her voice was not that loud, but still, it possessed a lot of authority, making Adam a little surprised.

But instead of retreating, Adam shifted his attention from the zombie, and looked at the lady who was in the air on top of the crow. He had initially planned to completely destroy this zombie, but since this lady had decided to attack, he did not do anything, deciding to wait and see how she was going to handle the zombie.

As for him retreating from where he was, that was not something that he was going to do. In case the zombie decided to attack him, he was going to destroy it.

The lady on the other hand did not pay much attention to Adam. But instead, she simply focused on the zombie. She believed that Adam would begin retreating as she approached the zombie.

The zombie on the other hand was already infuriated by Adam. So, when its attack was interrupted, it was even more infuriated. So, it shifted its attention to the lady that was in the air.

Henry and the others observed everything from the side. But at the same time, they also focused on the lady on top of the crow, wanting to see the information about her.

[Nancy Osborne

Power level: Level 9 silver rank

Profession: ???

Skills: ???]

For the first time, the group finally encountered a person that was not related to them that they could not see her full information. Of course, it was normal that they could not see the skills that she possessed considering that even Henry was not capable of seeing them as long as they were humans.

But right now, he was a little surprised by the fact that he could not see through the profession that this lady possessed. This made him curious about this lady. At the same time, he decided to make observations on something else, the crow that she was riding now.

[Dark Crow

Power Level: Level 9 silver rank

Race: Monster race

Affinity: Dark lightning element

Role: Companion beast

Skills: ???]

Henry was once again surprised when he realized that he could not see through the skills that this crow possessed. This was the first time that he had failed to see the skills that a beast possessed. Although it was being called a beast, it was a monster at the end of the day.

At this moment, Henry began wondering about the mysteries that surrounded this lady and her companion beast. At the same time, he wondered what a companion beast was.

This was the first time that he was encountering this role. But still, from just the name, he could understand that perhaps it was a monster that was related to a human, but instead of through summoning, there must be some kind of agreement or something like that that tied the two of them together.

Just as Henry was thinking of this, black lightning suddenly charged towards the zombie. The zombie on the other hand was already expecting the attack. And at this moment, it did something that surprised even the lady and the other people that could not see the skills of the zombie, meaning everyone except for Henry.

Out of nowhere, a large shield that was made out of rocks suddenly solidified in front of the zombie. The speed at which the shield solidified was quite quick that before the lightning reached the zombie, the shield had already solidified.

Of course, the zombie had reacted even before the crow attacked. It was just that the speed of the lightning was quite fast, and almost everyone was paying much attention to the crow. So, the moment that they followed the trajectory of the lightning, the zombie had already reacted to defend.

Boom!

An explosion occurred. At the same time, the shield that was made out of stones was cracked slightly. But still, the crack that was formed on the shield was nothing big and could be completely ignored.

As for the zombie, it did not move back even a single step. But instead, it suddenly launched the shield towards the air, towards the direction of the crow.

When Nancy noticed the attack that was heading her way, she did not retreat. But instead, she connected the two half staffs that she was holding, forming one long staff. And in the next moment, she actually jumped from the crow, and headed straight for the shield that was charging towards her.
