Chapter 353 – A General Class?

Chapter 353 - A General Class?

After sending that attack, their conflict ceased, confusing Theo.

Since Ava was also a monster, he thought Ava knew something about their exchange, so he asked, "Ava, what did they just do? Is it a territorial dispute?"

Ava furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head. She also couldn't get it quite well. There was something weird in their exchange that made her doubt the two's intentions.

"Their clash was a bit weird." Theo pondered over what he just saw.

"Kyu." Ava suddenly punched the air a few times, telling Theo that it was a real fight, not a show.

In other words, the two monsters seemed to be planning to kill each other.

"They wanted to kill each other, but wasn't the clash too brief?" Theo asked.

"Kyu!" Ava punched again, opened her mouth in shock and ran away.

"So, the fish was too weak and ran away?"

Ava shook her head. She punched the air and walked to the opposite side and did the same. After that, Ava continued glaring at her own reflection, snorted, and left the battlefield.

"…" Theo scratched the back of his head. In fact, he never understood Ava's word to word. All he could do was to say something according to her actions.

For this one, he was a bit clueless and started thinking about a few scenarios. Luckily, the first one was the correct one. "So, the fish and the lich were equal. Instead of wasting their time, they chose to leave for training. They want to defeat the other party the next time they meet… Something like that?"

Ava nodded in agreement.

"It's too complicated." Theo shook his head helplessly. "Anyway, our plan doesn't change. We will kill the lich. Although it looks powerful, I have my confidence in defeating it one by one."

"Kyu!" Ava smiled and made herself comfortable again.

Theo, on the contrary, kept watching the lich.

To his surprise, the lich was using his skills from time to time as if he was practicing to defeat the fish.

It was at this moment Theo realized Ava wasn't wrong.

If he counted all those zombies to kill before the lich, Theo had confidence in reaching Level 225, which should be enough to confront a barely Hero Rank lich. Hence, Theo was determined to locate the lich, making sure where he stayed for the night so as to avoid waking it up tomorrow.

…

As planned, Theo finally began his plan the next day. Because he didn't know when the lich slept, Theo decided not to sleep last night to mark the area where the lich slept.

After going a bit farther away from that spot, Theo and Ava began killing the zombies far from that area, thinning their number.

Because the level difference had begun to shrink, he didn't get as many EXP anymore, resulting in his level coming to a halt.

In one day, he could only level up once or twice if he was lucky. However, that was the limit.

Knowing this restriction, Theo still smiled as if this was what he wanted. Ava could understand Theo's feelings because Theo could fight so many former humans who somehow retained a portion of their human instinct and basics.

This was what Theo needed this whole time. After all, the time Theo faced humans face to face wasn't that many. There were only the school competition and a few teams in the Grand Gaia.

Facing all these zombies let him advance his own spear mastery, which strengthened his basics. That was the reason Theo stayed for a little bit longer in this place and chose to clear all the zombies.

If he took this result back to Earth, the result of the training he spent together with his clone would surely be faster and more bountiful.

On the second night, Theo saw the clash between the fish and the lich again as if their clash was never-ending.

Theo then continued killing zombies with Ava for several days as their food supply also became a bit short due to Ava's endless stomach.

…

On the sixth day.

Theo took another look at his status.

"I guess the EXP is less than I expected…" Theo sighed. His first expectation was to reach level 225, but it seemed to be possible since there were only fifty zombies left, including the lich. "Ava, we are going to kill only thirty zombies today. We will kill the rest tomorrow."

"Kyu!"

The pair once again went down the hill, facing the zombies… Or that was how everything was supposed to be.

However, everything suddenly changed when he saw fifty zombies coming out at once despite him not entering their range.

At the same time, among those fifty zombies, there was one that called out green flame upon his emergence. He was none other than the Zombie Lich.

But what shocked Theo the most was the fact that this zombie came out at the very front.

"What? He's supposed to sleep far away…" Theo suddenly came to a realization. In his mind, he pictured the lich digging the hole to come to this place so he would be the first one to be awakened during this whole mess. "I know that the lich is already aware of me killing the zombies, but a monster using a strategy… Isn't it only for a General Class monster?"

As much as he wanted to ponder the occurrence before his eyes, he didn't have time for it.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes as he clicked his tongue, knowing that he had entered the worst-case scenario.

Theo quickly used his Blink and grabbed Ava before utilizing his Telekinesis to fly to the sky.

Unfortunately for him, he saw a green flame that expanded and turned into a net, trying to catch him.

Because he just used his Blink skill, he had no choice other than to take this attack head-on.

"Tsk."
