Chapter 348: Completely Helpless

The spear charged towards the zombie with great momentum.

Alicia had already realized that she was at a great disadvantage when facing a diamond rank zombie. So, she had decided to take initiative. Perhaps there was a chance that she could resist this zombie.

When the zombie realized that Alicia was attacking, the intensity of the red light that was flickering within its eyes did not decrease at all. Instead, the zombie simply ignored the lightning spear that was charging over at an incredible speed.

Bang!

The sound of an explosion occurred the moment that the spear collided with the body of the zombie, directly on the chest.

Alicia’s pupils contracted when she looked at the spear that she had launched over. The moment that the spear collided with the zombie’s chest, it simply disintegrated into lightning sparkles.

"You are still in the gold rank, and you do think that you can cause me some damage with that puny power of yours? Let me show you what real power is." The zombie stated in a contemptuous voice.

In the next moment, at a speed that Alicia could not follow, the zombie made a move. He approached Alicia, not giving her a chance of retreating at all.

Nevertheless, Alicia was always prepared. So, the moment that she realized that the zombie was making a move, she immediately utilized the wood element, deciding to form several vines around herself.

But the problem was that the zombie possessed incredible speed. Before even the veins could materialize before her, the zombie had already arrived in front of her.

Boom!

A punch landed on Alicia’s chest. In the next moment, she was blown backwards, for more than 10 m.

Bang!

She landed heavily on the ground, causing the ground to shake slightly. At the same time, a small crater was created beneath her, where she had landed.

Cough!

Alicia coughed out blood. At this moment, she could feel that her internal organs had been shaken thoroughly. The attack that had been launched by the zombie was not something that she could handle, considering that she was just a mage.

She believed that had it not been for the fact that she was currently putting on an armor, she would have already been completely defeated, not having a chance of getting back to her feet again.

But of course, she was not going to continue staying down. She understood one thing, the moment that she was defeated, that implied that the territory was going to be taken over by the zombies.

Understanding the zombies, there was definitely no way that they were going to take any hostages. This implied that the moment that the zombies took over the territory, that implied that everybody within the territory was either going to die or going to turn into zombies.

By taking over the territory, that implied that even Alicia’s parents were not going to be spared. But how could she allow something like that to happen? Even if she was going to die, at least, she was going to try to make sure that the zombies did not succeed in taking over the territory.

So, enduring the pain that she was undergoing, she managed to get back on her feet. The zombie on the other hand did not attack again, but instead, he stood In the same position where he had attacked Alicia from.

Looking at Alicia who was getting back on her feet, the zombie could not help but say, "To say the truth, I had not expected that there was going to be a mage like you. Normally, if it was a normal mage that I had attacked, they would have already been blasted into pieces. But, for you, although the armor on your body has managed to protect you a little, but basically, you do have a better physique as compared to normal mages."

Immediately after saying that, the zombie began walking towards Alicia. The light that was shining within his eyes was still present. Until now, Alicia could not tell what it was that the zombie was trying to do, but at least until now, she had realized that it was definitely not a method that he was using to attack her.

The moment that she stood up, Alicia did not wait for the zombie to attack. Although she had already realized that the attacks that he was launching were completely useless in the face of this zombie, she did not hesitate to launch several attacks towards the zombie. At the same time, she was using both elements to attack, completely ignoring the matter of defense.

Several veins emerged from the ground beneath the zombie. They were just like the same vein that had been used by Alicia during the time that she was subduing Jeffrey. It was just that this time, there were actually four of them that had emerged at the same time.

When the zombie realized that the veins were trying to entangle him, he simply sneered. And in the next moment, a shockwave was generated from his body, easily blasting the veins into nothingness.

But the moment that he was just completing dealing with the veins, another flurry of lightning spears arrived. This time, Alicia was not using a single spear, but instead, she had launched about seven of them at the same time.

Facing the lightning spears, the zombie simply ignored them. And just like before, the spears landed on the body of the zombie, but none of them managed to deal any damage to it.

The zombie was not putting on any special armor. Instead, he was just wearing casual clothings, as if he was out for a stroll. But still, other than the small burnt marks that were being left on the clothing that he was putting on, there was nothing much dealt to the zombie personally.

Alicia could not help but feel a little helpless and frustrated. No matter how many times she attacked, it seemed that she could not deal any damage to this zombie. Could it be that this zombie was completely invulnerable to the attacks that she was launching?

Realizing that it was impossible to deal with the zombie using the lightning spears, Alicia decided to use the tiger phantom. The tiger solidified in front of her from the lightning element, and in the next moment, he immediately charged towards the zombie.

Alicia’s energy reserves were quite high as compared to normal mages at the same level as her. This was due to the special profession that she possessed, dual affinity.

But still, although she possessed quite a big energy reserve, with the rate at which she was utilizing the energy when launching the attacks without holding back, it was clear that the energy was going to be depleted in a very short time.

Nevertheless, Alicia did not care about that. At this moment, she was only thinking of dealing with the zombie, in order to protect the territory that was behind her.

The size of the tiger phantom was bigger as compared to the one that she had used during the time that she was attacking Aaron. This was due to the fact that currently, Alicia was not trying to spare any energy at all.

In the face of the attack of the tiger phantom that was already brandishing its claws towards him, the zombie simply stretched out his hand. In the next moment, another wave of shockwave came from his hand.

The tiger that was just about to land its attack was suddenly blasted backwards at an incredible speed. At the same time, it simply disintegrated into lightning sparkles that lit up the surrounding area.

At this moment, the zombie was not even trying to attack Alicia anymore. Instead, he had simply focused on doing something that Alicia was not sure about, with the red light continuing coming from its eyes.

After a while, the zombie frowned. He looked towards Alicia who was standing at a distance taking several pills in order to recover the energy that she had already spent, before asking, "Where are you hiding him?"

It was at this moment that Alicia finally realized what it was that the zombie was trying to do. It seemed that the zombie was trying to use a special method in order to find the whereabouts of the young man that she had saved back then.

"I don’t know what you are talking about." Alicia responded relentlessly. There was no way that she was going to hand over that young man to the zombie. It was very clear that that young man possessed a great advantage over the zombies. In other words, he was the nemesis of the zombies.

That was the exact reason why the zombies were trying so hard in order to be able to get him, before eliminating him. But no matter what, Alicia had decided that she had to protect this young man. Even if they were just going to deal with the zombies, but with the zombies out of the picture, that was one less enemy that they had to deal with.

The zombie squinted his eyes as he looked at Alicia. At the same time, the killing intent that was coming out of his body suddenly increased.

"It seems that I will have to use the hardest method in order to get what I want. Initially, I had decided that as long as I got that young man, I would simply leave this territory to you because I do know that there’s somebody that is trying to scheme against me. But now, I’m going to make sure that I convert the entire territory into a territory of zombies." The zombie stated.

Then without giving Alicia a chance of saying anything, the zombie rushed towards her. This time, the speed at which the zombie was moving at was way higher as compared to the one that he had used before.
