It was quite clear from the look on Zain's face that he indeed was going to take part, and knowing this Anna decided to help him out. She bit into her thumb and it started to form into a blood spear. Just as Zain had asked she made it quite large in size.
Still, the handle where it could be held in the centre, she made sure it wasn't too thick so that Zain could still hold onto the spear. She was just worried that it might turn out to be too heavy for him, to take part in the fight.
'At the moment, in this place, it feels like we're all some type of trapped survivors, and he's the closest one to our side. He saved our life, so I should try and trust him a bit.' Anna thought as the spear was finished being made.
It was floating there in the air, with some parts as thick as a human's body. Holding his arm up, Zain grabbed it there and then with a single hand holding it with no problem.
'His strength must be quite high as well. It looks like he's got some things up his sleeve, but why join the fight now, when it looks like it's already over.' Dart thought.
Holding onto the spear, Zain then started to run, he ran at a great speed across the field. Everyone was surprised, because it looked like it was faster than Carl had done. However, the movements weren't as smooth. The grass was being trampled on aggressively as he pushed as hard as he could.
Then he could see it, the broken part of the stage 4, falling, and Carl gearing up for another big punch. Swinging his arm back, there was one more thing Zain wanted to do.
[+1 strength stat]
Having fought in the strange place that was controlled by the Zombie Hunters, Zain had managed to level up one more time, but yet to use the stat. He didn't know how much this would help, but he wanted this.
'I need to get this stage 4, I need to complete these quests, if I have any chance of competing and catching up to Carl!' Zain thought.
He pulled back his arm, then leaning his body forward he hurled the blood spear with all of his might. It was breaking through the air, going past everything. Some of the zombies that were standing further back so when it went past they could see right where it was heading.
Carl, was too busy, focused on killing the stage 4, as he kicked off the ground jumping in the air once more, and when to throw out his fist, but right by the side of his face, the spear impaled the stage 4, hitting it right through the head, while Carl's fist had hit the outside, pulsing, before the head had eventually exploded due to the strength of the hit.
The spear carried on forward and got caught in the ground, standing tall, full of blood. While Carl fell to the ground, along with the Stage 4 Titan, looking back, wondering where the attack had come from.
"Did somone just throw that?" A zombie asked.
"Yeah, I saw it go right through the zombie's head."
"Yeha, but did you see Carl's punch explode the head?"
"Wait, but the spear went through the head first, so whoever threw the spear killed the stage 4 right?"
"That depends, what if the spear didn't kill the zombie, how can we tell who killed the stage 4 first, how do we decide whose it rightfully is."
"What we need to figure out first is who threw the spear."
The others that were by Zain's side were amazed. It looked like it was what he was going for from the beginning. He knew he didn't have the strength to kill the zombie, so when it was at its weakest, he did something that only he could possibly do, and it worked, at least they thought it worked.
Because even they were unsure who had killed the zombie, was it Zain or was it Carl. Looking at Zain, they were thinking he would go forward, maybe talk with Carl and decide who deserved the crystal inside of its body, but there was no need.
Zain turned around, and there was a big smile on his face, when walking back to the others.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Dart asked. "Don't you want to fight for the crystal in the body?"
The other zombies had gathered around the stage 4. Although they didn't kill it, they were trying to help get the reward, they knew it belonged to someone, and they weren't going to take it for themselves otherwise they would have to answer to Humfree, but as they cut the body up, more and more, they started to realise something.
"We can't find it… we can't find the crystal!" A zombie shouted.
"What?" Dart raised an eyebrow. "That's impossible, there has to be a crystal, every stage 2 and above zombie has a crystal in their body, this has never happened before, just what is going on."
The group continued to search, but they really were unable to find anything, and even if they continued to search all day, they would still find nothing. The reason Zain was smiling was because he already knew, that he had gotten the kill.
[Diamond quest completed]
[Diamond card has been received]
'This… this is what I need if I want to catch up with Carl, and survive in this world.'
When Zain defeated an enemy, the crystal would automatically turn into experience as well, and due to the level of quest there was quite a boost.
