Chapter 133: First Direct Battle (2)?
Aiden could see the first zombie coming toward them, and it would reach them in seconds as it was going toward his big sis, who was 3 meters away from him.
'How did I let my big sis have the first kill?'
All the ladies were focusing on the zombie and Alicia as it targeted her, and they couldn't focus much on Aiden while giving their full attention to protecting her, knowing it was not targeting him.
Aiden slashed the air with his sword, using half the strength of his body, and saw how his hands became a blur which he could see but didn't think anyone else would be able to see properly.
'I should only use half of my strength and slowly get adjusted to it little by little,' and he knew with his physique it would take him only a small amount of time to get used to it.
Seeing the zombie, which almost looked like it was in slow motion to him, it had a ferocious expression on his face as it was about to reach his big sis.
Aiden put half of his strength into his foot to get a burst of speed to reach the zombie a few steps away from him as his body became a blur, looking many times faster than the rabbit they had seen earlier. m-v-l_e-m-p-y-r original
No one had time to register how their leader suddenly appeared in front of the zombie.
Aiden, reaching the zombie, could see it hadn't even noticed him, but he didn't wait for it at all and, with a quick slash, decapitated the head of the zombie as blood spurted from it, and with a thud, its head rolled down to the ground.
he didn't feel anything at all as the sharpness of his blade and his overwhelming didn't let him feel anything while cutting its head.
Finally, after seeing the headless body of the zombie fall to the ground and seeing their leader next to it, they finally registered what had happened.
Calling them shocked would only be an understatement after witnessing what had happened, they even saw the sword in his hand was already inside his scabbard and couldn't even comprehend how fast he had to be to decapitate the zombie and put the sword back without them noticing.
All of their mouths were hung open—even the calm Ava couldn't keep her composure after seeing his overwhelming strength.
Alicia had noticed him a little earlier than everyone else; however, even she couldn't see him when he arrived and decapitated the zombie aiming for her, as it happened in mere seconds.
But she knew that even with max stats, doing something like this wasn't possible, so she guessed it must be his talent, as she still didn't know what his talent was exactly.
'Hmm, it might be possible to have physical talent like magic. Still, I can tell it's not a low-rank talent.'
'I was worried about this for some time, as he doesn't tell me his talent. I thought it must be low-ranked, which is why he's ashamed to share it. However, after seeing him now, I think I was wrong.'
So, she asked him directly.
"Aiden, is this your talent?"
Aiden couldn't answer her directly, knowing it would be a lie to say yes, and denying her words would make him look like he was lying to her. So, exploiting a flaw of his talent, he only gave her a nod in response without making any comment.
Alicia, seeing his nod, was happy for him. Knowing her little brother was also strong made her feel much better.
'It looked so cool; I didn't even see the sword in his hands earlier, and I know he's trying to show off. However, I don't mind it as it was so cool!!'
She looked at the women behind her who were supposed to protect her, all of them with their mouths hung open. She felt prideful seeing their reactions as she held her head high, knowing her little brother was the cause of this.
'Bow down to my brother's greatness!'
However, she didn't think she was any less strong than him; she thought that, in magic, she was the best, as this battle was simply more advantageous for him.
As his big sis, she wanted to be the one to protect him, so with a fierce expression, she prepared herself for the next zombie.
However, in the next second, the figure of her little brother blurred once again in front of her. She began to look around to see where he had gone, only to find him standing next to another headless body of a zombie.
'Well, it looks like I have to focus even more than before.'
Aiden had killed another zombie, and after killing it, he dashed toward another one who had just entered the gate. With a lightning-fast slash, its head flew off, and blood sprayed everywhere. After a second, with a thud, its head hit the ground.
This was the third zombie he had killed, and seeing how slow they were to him, he didn't think he would have any problem taking them alone.
The zombies who got in the way after being killed were simply kicked aside by him, using his strength as their bodies flew to the side of the gate.
He continued killing them with a smile on his face, and at his speed of killing near the gate and kicking them away, the most he had to fight was two at a time, which also didn't give him any challenge at all.
He had just killed his 20th zombie and could see two more coming at the same time. Having completely adjusted to using this much strength, he decided to use 75% of his strength, and he was not worried about tiring himself out at all as he didn't even break a sweat after killing them.
Alicia, who had already accepted that she couldn't catch up to him, had decided to wait for him to get tired so she could jump in, fight, and let him rest a bit before continuing. The idea of competing had left her mind completely when she couldn't kill even one, and her brother had killed 20.
But she still believed that if she practiced her magic and improved her mana, she could compete with him and even have a chance of beating him. However, when she suddenly saw his speed increase even more just now, it was hard for her to even notice the blur.
'He's not using his full strength until now?'
Even she didn't feel that confident after seeing him grow even stronger than before, and now the only thing reassuring her was the spell she had learned earlier.
'I think if there were a single strong monster, I would be able to protect him.'
But she knew now she was only making excuses as her fantasies of being the one who would protect her little brother like a hero and now her fantasies started to crumble after witnessing everything.
All the other ladies who were present here witnessing everything up until now had accepted that their leader was even more of a monster than his own sister, whom they thought was the real monster.
And now realizing that they had such a strong leader behind them, they understood how lucky they were to follow him, and those who were a little hesitant when accepting him as a leader felt even more ashamed now.
However, this only strengthened their determination to prove their worth even more than before.
