Chapter 1661: Weakness
The thought that the soldier was a corpse worried Ning. The fact that he was armored up, having most of his weak points protected, terrified him.
How did you fight a man who had no weakness?
Ning wasn't sure at the moment. He didn't have the luxury to think either.
He dodged the sword just before it attacked him and created a barrier above it to make it harder to pull. He was about to attack back, regardless of how useful it was, when he noticed movement from the side.
He turned around and noticed another soldier coming down at him.
He created a barrier, stopping the attack right before it landed on him. The sword slammed onto the barrier and Ning went around the soldier, stabbing him in the back.
He pulled the spear out and it came out bloodless. Once again, it was not a living man at all inside of that suit, but rather a corpse.
Ning's eyes moved to the other 7 soldiers who made their way toward him at that very moment. Were... they all corpses as well?
Ning took a deep breath. He didn't know how he was going to kill a group of soldiers that couldn't die at all. The best he could do was immobilize them, but that needed him to cut at their shin or their tendons, neither of which his spear could reach at the moment.
Ning created a barrier to his left, stopping one soldier's attack while he stopped to the right to dodge the attack from the soldier on the right.
He created a small barrier next to him and stepped on it as he jumped to dodge a horizontal swing. He created another barrier above him and landed on it, right beyond the reach of the soldiers.
He took heavy breaths once he landed and looked around, trying to think of what to do. He saw the crowd, looking at him with awe. He saw the soldier who stood by the carriage, seemingly curious about the outcome- an actual human.
'What the fuck!' Ning thought. Even stabbing a brain wasn't enough to kill a resurrected human? Then what was? Was Shara the only answer?
The corpse swung its sword around, trying to come at him to cut him. Ning tried to dodge but from what he could see, he didn't need to dodge.
The sword swing easily missed him, allowing him time to attack him. He stabbed through the visors once again, damaging what was already damaged.
The corpse swung its sword once again, and this time Ning realized that there was a change to the corpse. It wasn't a big change, but one that was massive enough to turn the tide of the
battle.
The corpse who had been stabbed through the visor could no longer see at all.
'They're blind!' Ning thought. 'If they're stabbed, they go blind.'
That was what Ning realized. And given the evidence, he was pretty sure he was correct.
Two things were made apparent immediately to Ning.
First, Corpses could see. Whether the rest of the senses worked or not would have to be checked separately, but sight alone worked.
Second, since they could see, it could be taken away as well. A corpse without eyes was as
good as a blind man. It could attack aimlessly, but never accurately.
If the same was to be done to the rest of the corpses, then...
Ning had a new plan in mind.
