Chapter 292 The conclusion

Chapter 292 The conclusion

The fist from Carl wasn't just an ordinary fist with his extreme strength, but it also had the red energy running through his hand. It was a full force hit, and Zain knew that he wouldn't be able to use his swords to block in time.

'If I get hit with that, I might very well be done for.' Zain thought. 'Because of my speed and strength, there's a good chance that Carl might have overestimated my strength, and there's a good chance this hit to my head could kill me.'

There was a reason why Zain thought this, and it was because his Endurance was the lowest stat he had. At the moment, it was set to 10 points. Originally, when Zain had become a zombie, he was opting for a control type.

One that would fight from a distance while mainly using his horde. For stronger enemies, he would come in at the last moment to take them out. If that failed, he also had his agility stat.

He was already incredibly fast, he was superhuman with his speed. If he could avoid all hits, then why would he need to increase his endurance? This was his theory anyway. It was the first time he was facing one with this strength, and it was why he was extremely worried.

'Even if I don't die, if I get hit by this, I'm going to lose this fight!'

Looking directly at Carl in the eye, memories started to appear of all the times he had faced the faceless man in his dreams and how much it tormented him back then. If he didn't beat Carl now, would he still be tormented by the dreams, but there was an even more important matter at hand.

'I have to... I have to get that Master card!' Zain twisted his foot, and from beneath, something started to glow between the two. It looked similar to when Zain had summoned the weapons in his hands, but instead there was now a figure right in front of the two.

Carl was still in the middle of his punch, and it was too late to hold back. He threw it out and as it hit the summoned figure's head with the red pulse of power, it exploded. Pieces of the skull and brain went flying all over the place, and the body had collapsed on the floor.

'Did I just... just kill.'

Carl was clearly distracted, having no idea what had happened. Even those watching couldn't quite figure out what was happening, only that Zain wasn't dead. He very much wasn't, as he appeared by the side of Carl's body swinging the titan sword as hard as he could.

It hit Carl's arm, slicing through it, causing it to fall to the floor. It was a first for Carl losing his arm like so.

"What is going on!" Humfree said out loud, he didn't know whether to feel upset or excited. He was wondering if someone had intervened because there was a dead zombie's body on the floor.

This was all due to Zain, who had used his summon skill to summon a zombie from his horde. The skill and the fact that he could control zombies he had been hiding for a long time now. Now he had revealed it, the idea of the reward, it was just too good for him to lose.

After cutting off the arm, Zain didn't stop there, the moment of surprise would only last so long, and it was time for him to use all the tricks he had up his sleeve. Thrusting the white sword forward, just like the stage 2 weapon, it was able to change its shape.

Thrusting it forward it started to elongate and the end turned into a spear. Carl was still confused by everything and felt it hit him right in the centre of the body. With the speed and power it had behind it, it started to scratch the scales off and went a few inches deep into his stomach.

With only one good hand he was unable to block as well before. At that moment, he was ready with his other hand, and made an attempt to grab the spearhead, but that's when he felt something latch on and grab onto his hand.

It wasn't particularly strong, but he could smell and straight away noticed that it was a group of three Zombies. The reason why Carl was panicking, was because he thought that maybe those from the crowd had intervened.

But the others from the outside saw it, they had appeared out of nowhere, seemingly, and there was another thing. Zombies didn't usually attack other zombies, not unless they were mutated.

These, they were clearly being controlled.

Zain let go of the spear, and as he did the bottom of the spear's shape changed into a rounded part like that of a shield. The difference between the stage 2 and the stage 3 was that he could transform the weapon as many times as he wanted.

Kicking the shield part with all his strength, the spear was pushed in even further, and soon more zombies started to appear around the place, grabbing Carl by the bottom of his feet. Before Carl knew it, Zain was standing above him with his titan sword pointed towards his neck, and around him were a group of zombies that were pinning him down.

'Honestly, with my current strength and the titan sword the way it is, a single thrust won't be able to beat him, and these zombies on top of him wouldn't be able to keep him down. If it was a fight for his life, then he would still come out the winner, but in the situation we are in now.

'I'm hoping he will admit defeat. While I have continuously regained the upper hand this whole fight... the only way I can beat him in a fight, is if he gives up.'

Humfree was left speechless and so were the others. If what they were seeing was true, Zain either had the ability to summon zombies, or control them, perhaps even do both. Humfree knew he was hiding something, he just never knew that it was of this calibre.

Carl, lying there on the ground, gave a big smile, the hardened scales on his body started to fade away, as he said a few words.

"I admit defeat." Carl said.
