Chapter 226: Slaying the Zombie Lord
The ability to petrify worked. Although it couldn’t directly petrify the zombie lord completely, after all, no matter what, the zombie lord was too powerful, direct petrification was unrealistic. However, it could temporarily immobilize the zombie lord.
Indeed, this move had an effect! The zombie lord’s body indeed became stiff, unable to move. At this moment, Waldo was overjoyed! He knew that his plan was working.
Supernatural ability, control fire! Immediately, Waldo shouted in his mind without hesitation. Then, he utilized his supernatural ability [Fire Control]!
Waldo’s palm manifested a huge flame. At this moment, the zombie lord had been temporarily petrified, unable to control the flames on its body. The control had been taken over by Waldo!
Next, the flames on the zombie lord’s body rapidly gathered within the range controlled by Waldo’s palm. The flame in Waldo’s palm condensed quickly, growing larger and larger.
Eventually, it became large enough to make all living beings turn pale. Even in the zombie lord’s eyes, there was a look of fear!
Boom! Following that, just as the zombie lord was about to regain its mobility, Waldo gave it his all and roared loudly!
A tremendous explosion, the sound echoed endlessly!
At this moment, dust filled the air. Countless buildings trembled. A large area was scorched by the outbreak of flames. Even the roads had been heated to a molten state, turning into magma.
Waldo appeared in the distance. He had teleported away when the explosion occurred. Despite that, he still experienced some shock. Overall, however, he wasn’t seriously harmed.
Now, he really wanted to know if the zombie lord had died.
Then, he furrowed his brow because he hadn’t received any notifications from the system.
If the zombie lord had been killed, he would definitely have received an experience point notification. However, Waldo didn’t receive any relevant notifications. This also meant that the zombie lord hadn’t died!
Not dead? Well, so what?! Waldo smiled faintly. His smile appeared quite indifferent.
Soon, he activated his supernatural ability [Flight] and soared directly to an altitude of two hundred meters. From this high vantage point, he could clearly see every detail of the scene.
Within the raging inferno, there was a rather battered figure that stood up. Without a doubt, this was the zombie lord.
At this moment, the zombie lord looked extremely bedraggled. Its body was charred, riddled with holes. However, its vitality was still remarkably strong, and it moved freely.
Waldo was slightly moved. The zombie lord truly lived up to its name; its strength was indeed formidable, and its constitution was incredibly robust.
It’s worth noting that such a powerful explosion had occurred directly on its body’s surface. Even a body made of steel would have melted. Yet, it had survived?
If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it. However, the fact was undeniable.
This kind of robust constitution truly seemed invincible by nature.
"I knew it, the zombie lord’s constitution is incredibly strong, and I can’t deplete it by force. I have to use other methods. Now, it seems I was right."
"The zombie lord is indeed extraordinary! It’s fortunate that I managed to master so many supernatural abilities, all of which are at least Tier 2. That’s what gives me the capability to face the zombie lord alone. Even so, it’s extremely dangerous. For others, there would be no way to deal with the zombie lord. It’s an insurmountable existence!" Waldo thought to himself.
Just then, he noticed that after the zombie lord got up, it let out an extremely furious roar.
Subsequently, the zombie lord’s eyes seemed to reveal complex emotions. There was anger and fear present. The flames in its eyes still danced with a hint of sentience. However, unlike before, the flames now appeared much weaker, as if they were on the verge of extinguishing.
Following this, the zombie lord abruptly headed in the opposite direction at an incredibly high speed, even faster than a cheetah’s top speed. It seemed to want to escape, to get away from the formidable human survivor who had proven to be extremely troublesome.
"Escape? Hmph, do you think you can get away?" In the high sky, Waldo saw the fleeing zombie lord and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. "You think you can escape? How is that possible?"
If he allowed it to escape, it would be a time bomb for Waldo, as well as for the entire City No. 25. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, the most crucial thing was that Waldo wanted the Source Stones inside the zombie lord’s body. There was a high probability that the Source Stones in a Level 5 zombie lord would hold a pleasant surprise for him. Waldo didn’t want to miss out on that.
So, when he saw the zombie lord attempting to flee, Waldo immediately gave chase. No matter how fast the zombie lord was, it couldn’t match Waldo’s speed when he was flying in the sky.
"There’s no escaping!" Waldo’s voice was cold and emotionless. He then took out a rocket launcher from his backpack.
Boom! An RPG rocket was fired.
Seeing that it was about to hit, the zombie lord, sensing something, managed to dodge. However, it could be observed that the zombie lord’s reaction speed seemed to have decreased, and its evasion wasn’t timely enough. It was affected by the explosion, stumbling from the blast.
Waldo remained composed, calmly reloading the rocket launcher and firing again.
Boom! This time, the rocket hit the zombie lord directly. Its body was sent flying, and a bloody, charred wound appeared on its back.
Roar! The zombie lord let out a mournful cry. In its eyes, the fierce look was gradually replaced by fear and terror. However, it didn’t dare to stay still and desperately tried to escape, searching for a glimmer of hope.
Yet, the zombie lord’s intelligence was not to be underestimated. It knew that if it just kept running, it wouldn’t escape. So, it turned and rushed into a nearby building.
However, Waldo was hot on its heels, launching missiles towards its location, forcing it out of the building. The zombie lord, like a cornered rat, fled in all directions, pursued by Waldo. At the same time, its injuries grew worse, and its escape speed slowed.
Waldo knew, and the zombie lord knew too—it was almost done for.
Sure enough, not long after, the zombie lord stopped running, unable to flee any longer. Then, amidst its cries, Waldo easily finished it off.
The zombie lord had finally met its end!
Waldo looked at the battered and hole-ridden corpse of the zombie lord on the ground, finally exhaling in relief.
"This body was just too formidable."
"Killing a Level 5 zombie lord. Exp Points +10,000!"
At this moment, the system notification arrived.
