57 Array Formation
<nulli>North,
<nulli>Alpha was slashing zombies heads while trying to practice the infernal steps, he had received from Jayden but was yet to comprehend it even to the beginner level.
<nulli>He was killing zombies at a very fast pace, almost ten times faster than Jayden did before, even without putting in any real effort.
<nulli>After travelling more than twenty miles and killing thousands of zombies, his movement came to a halt as a figure appeared before him.
<nulli>" Who dares to set foot in my lord's territory? " said the second general of Lucas's army.
<nulli>" Are you a zombie too? " Alpha asked, a little uncertain after seeing the general, as he looked like a normal human, a handsome one at that.
<nulli>" And what is a zombie? " the general asked, chatting casually.
<nulli>" Hm... Like that one? " at first Alpha was unable to define the word zombie, then he pointed to one of the bodies lying there and asked.
<nulli>" We are from the Habilis race, at least we were before, anyway why are you attacking us? " the second general asks.
<nulli>"..." Alpha ignored his question, and after a moment disappeared from his place after turning into a black shadow and charged towards the general.
<nulli>Although Alpha couldn't see the general's level like Jayden, but Alpha was sure that his strength was only slightly above to that of the zombie's.
<nulli>"Hmph" the general snorted and without turning back slashes his sword behind his back horizontally, barely missing Alpha.
<nulli>Alpha took a few steps back, and even though his first attack had failed he was completely calm, he stopped moving back and threw a few blades, that were in the shape of stars, at the general.
<nulli>The zombie merely scoffed at the incoming attack and instantly raised his sword to counter the blades. Four blades hit the sword, but instead of what the general expected to happen, the blades didn't bounce off the sword instead like a magnet attached to it, increasing its weight significantly.
<nulli>The second general was stunned as the sword almost fell from his hand, Alpha took this chance and appeared on his left side and waves a knife toward the zombie's neck. The general was aware that if the attack connect his head would be flying the next instant.
<nulli>Just before the attack could touch the zombie's neck, Alpha felt danger from behind him. He quickly halts his attack and disappears from his position, and the next instant a large crater appeared on the place he stood a few moments ago.
<nulli>" Hahahahaha, to think that a mere insect could dodge my attack. Second brother, let's kill this bastard together. " The figure of the third general of Lucas's army came into view after a few seconds.
<nulli>" Although I would have loved to fight you alone, but you are quite cunning, so you can die with your pride that two generals have joined hands to kill someone insignificant like you. " the second general said, as he removed the blades from his sword.
<nulli>Alpha looked at the two figures in front of him with a calm expression, his eyes still as tranquil as ever.
<nulli>The next moment, alpha figure splits into ten and before the two generals stood ten Alpha. Their expression immediately turned solemn, as they could feel that none of these figures were illusions.
<nulli>*Sssssssss*
<nulli>A hissing sound rang as swords of shadows appeared in the hands of all ten figures, emanating a deathly aura, then the next instant two large wings appeared on their backs, as Alpha used the bat formation.
<nulli>Ten figures launched into the sky and at terrifying speed begins to shower a barrage of attacks over the two zombies, who instantly began to parry with them with all their strength, swinging their swords crazily.
<nulli>******
<nulli>Beta, Gamma and the red dragon were having a much easier time than Alpha, as they butchered each and every zombie they came across. Numerous messages appeared in front of Jayden's eyes, as his kill count increased continuously.
<nulli>But he wasn't paying any attention to it all, as right now he was trying to learn to make arrays. Although he has received the technique of array formation from the inheritance of Belphegor, but he still needs to practice the skill as he was just an amateur in creating arrays.
<nulli>When he learns a skill by stealing from someone's mind, he would be able to learn them instantly, but he got the skill of array formation from an inheritance not directly from someone's mind.
<nulli>He sat cross-legged on the ground, creating a strange symbol made of his internal energy, which is also called 'Qi'. The symbols were irregular and it was hard for Jayden to create them, while some burst due to an Overload of energy and some disappeared instantly due to lack of enough Qi.
<nulli>Jayden practised constantly, at first he tried to give the right amount of energy to each symbol, after trying for many hours, he was able to constantly create symbols without them bursting or disappearing.
<nulli>" Haa, step 1 clear! "
<nulli>But still, the symbols were irregular and looked strange, then Jayden began to practice creating symbols with better shapes.
<nulli>Whenever he runs low on energy, he would ask Andrea to bring some Zombie corpses back to the cave, where Jayden would use demonic Devouring Arts to extract energy from them.
<nulli>" Is he trying to form some kind of array? " Layla asked after observing Jayden for a few hours, she could see strange symbols, constantly being released from his palms.
<nulli>" I think so. " Eleanor nodded.
<nulli>" How long do we have to stay in this cave? " Alice said feeling cramped.
<nulli>"..." All women turned silent and stared at Jayden.
<nulli>" By the way, what kind of relationship do you have with Jayden? " asked Layla, looking at Alice and Eleanor.
<nulli>Without even thinking, Alice spoke: " I am his wife, and he's mine. " Alice showed a proud expression while answering.
<nulli>Layla wasn't surprised, then she looked at her aunt, waiting for her reply.
<nulli>" I... We're married too. " Eleanor blurted out, after a moment.
<nulli>" What? " Layla and Sophie both were surprised, while Alice stared at her with an unfriendly look.
<nulli>" How? When did you got married? " Layla asked, feeling dazed by the revelation.
<nulli>" Some time ago. " Eleanor replied, giving a vague answer.
<nulli>All women went silent for a few minutes after that, and just stared at Eleanor, with a pondering expression.
<nulli>Jayden kept on practising forming symbols, he planned to use an array to kill the zombie King, as his current strength won't be enough to fight him head-on, even with the three assassins fighting along with him.
<nulli>" Hmm, maybe I should use the mind manipulation skill. " Jayden thought, before making his brain work a hundred times faster than before.
<nulli>Only a few minutes later, the symbols became much smoother than before and attained a better shape.
<nulli>Jayden continued to practice, while the number of zombies continuously decreased at an astounding rate.
<nulli>******
<nulli>Earth,
<nulli>inside a dark room, a man was sitting on a throne and in front of him was a man with rabbit teeth kneeling on the floor.
<nulli>" Even after so long, you haven't been able to find just a single woman. If the news of this got out, I will be a laughingstock across all our community. "
<nulli>" I am extremely ashamed of myself, but I think she is not a normal human. " the rabbit said without raising his head.
<nulli>" Hoh? And why is that so? " asked the king.
<nulli>" Th-That's because whenever we found her location, she always managed to slip past us mysteriously, so I think she is someone with an aura. " the rabbit replied.
<nulli>" Hmmm... " the king closed his eyes and begins to tap on the armrest with his fingers. " If that's the case, we need to find her as soon as possible. Send people from our 1st team. "
<nulli>Rabbit was surprised at first, but then he quickly nodded and spoke: " Yes, my king. I will lead them personally. "
