Chapter 225: Zombie lord’s ability
Just a simple strike from the zombie lord left Waldo feeling half-numb. Indeed, he had underestimated the fifth-level zombie lord.
The strength of a fifth-level zombie lord was formidable, to the extent that even a regular attack would cause significant damage to Waldo. In their first clash, Waldo had come out on the losing end. This was not a good start.
"Previously, I was indeed careless. I underestimated the situation, which led to my defeat. It’s my fault, and I should reflect on it. But this is only the first time, and I won’t let it happen again next time!" Waldo thought to himself.
He had been too complacent earlier, but now he was changing his attitude. He would not allow the zombie lord to get the upper hand easily again.
Soon, Waldo engaged in combat with the zombie lord. Their movements were extremely fast, almost too quick to follow. Waldo made full use of his teleportation and invisibility, making him extremely agile and able to catch his opponent off guard.
The zombie lord appeared to be in a difficult situation, but Waldo knew better. Despite its appearance, the zombie lord hadn’t suffered any significant damage. Moreover, Waldo had expended a lot of energy through his excessive use of teleportation.
"I can’t keep this up!" Waldo thought. Continuing like this, his stamina wouldn’t hold up. His stamina was unmatched among survivors, but it still fell short when facing the zombie lord.
At this moment, Waldo’s mind raced as he constantly searched for a better way to deal with the zombie lord. Suddenly, he felt a sense of suffocation.
Danger!
This was an extremely dangerous feeling!
Waldo’s heart tightened, and he widened his eyes. The fifth-level zombie lord was now engulfed in flames. Flames flowed all over its body, emitting an intense heat that distorted the surrounding space. Despite the high temperature, the zombie lord’s body remained unaffected.
At this moment, Waldo felt an unprecedented sense of danger. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Was this some kind of supernatural ability?
Waldo stared in disbelief, his whole being feeling somewhat stunned. Supernatural abilities were supposed to be unique to survivors. Why did the zombie lord possess one? Could this be an innate ability of the zombies?
And it seemed incredibly dangerous.
Waldo couldn’t afford to be complacent. He raised his guard to the highest level, preparing for any possible danger.
In the next instant, the zombie lord turned its fiery gaze toward Waldo. Two blazing eyes locked onto him, sending shivers down his spine.
Then, the zombie lord let out a furious roar, a deafening sound that seemed to shake the very heavens. Alongside this roar, the flames on the zombie lord’s body transformed into a scorching fire dragon, hurtling toward Waldo at an incredible speed.
Waldo’s eyes widened even further. At this moment, he felt the imminent threat of death. He knew he had to evade at any cost; trying to withstand this attack head-on would have severe consequences.
He had a premonition that no matter how well he protected himself, even if he hid inside a tank, he would be instantly incinerated by this fire dragon.
So, there was only one way!
Hide!
Fortunately, Waldo possessed the supernatural ability of teleportation. One second before the fire dragon arrived, he teleported himself a hundred meters away.
Even so, he still felt the intense heat, and his hair was singed. The distant building was hit by the fire dragon, erupting into towering flames and billowing black smoke.
Impressive, if I had been hit by that fire dragon, I’d be toast!
Waldo’s face paled slightly. Indeed, the fifth-level zombie lord had not only high intelligence but also formidable strength, making it a superbeing that was not to be taken lightly.
Without Waldo, no matter how many people came, it would be futile. In front of the zombie lord, they were simply outmatched. Even if other survivors reached level sixty, facing the zombie lord would still be a grim prospect.
Although the zombie lord was powerful, it would take a bit more effort for me to deal with it, but it’s still within my capabilities!
Waldo thought to himself. Starting now, he engaged his full mental capacity to strategize on how to deal with the zombie lord.
Just then, his face changed slightly once more. It turned out that the zombie lord hadn’t stopped attacking him.
Roar!
The zombie lord roared and sent another fire dragon toward Waldo’s position. Waldo didn’t have time to think; he teleported away. However, before he could catch his breath...
Roar!
The zombie lord roared again, and another fire dragon, even faster and more powerful, soared toward Waldo.
Roar!
Roar!
After several repetitions of this, something clicked in Waldo’s mind. A bold idea began to form, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. He realized that this approach was entirely feasible!
Once he had formulated his plan, Waldo began to carefully observe the behavior and movements of the zombie lord. After some time, he noticed that the zombie lord’s stamina seemed substantial and seemingly inexhaustible.
Therefore, relying on the strategy of wearing down its stamina was unrealistic. He also didn’t know if the zombie lord had any other methods to instantly boost its stamina.
In addition to this, Waldo made a new discovery. The zombie lord had a certain interval between each use of its fire dragon attack. This interval was approximately ten seconds.
"I have ten seconds to do a lot," Waldo thought.
Roar!
Boom!
The zombie lord launched another fire dragon attack, but Waldo instantly dodged it. At this moment, Waldo’s eyes became extremely sharp. He knew that his opportunity was in this ever-changing moment.
"The opportunity has come!" Waldo snorted coldly.
Then, he used his supernatural ability, teleportation. The next moment, he appeared right in front of the zombie lord. With his supernatural ability, he invoked petrification.
Waldo’s palm struck the zombie lord’s body, and he endured the intense heat as he activated his petrification ability. As expected, the zombie lord’s body stiffened for a moment.
