Chapter 153: What is happening?

After hearing the orders from the leader, Isla didn't wait any longer and quickly went back behind the others, who were aiming their rifles at the zombies with serious expressions on their faces, ready to fire.She is soaked in sweat, and her breathing is also fast. She, without caring about anything, sits down on the grasslands to catch her breath and rest, placing her firm buttocks on the ground.

huff huff

'It was good Aiden called out as I think I wouldn't be able to last even 5 more minutes.' She felt lucky that she didn't have to go back when Alicia could continue. It would feel to her that she has lost, but one thing is clear—she has realized her weakness once again.

'I have to get those stones as much as I can so that I can compete with the crazy woman.' She knows in terms of talent, she is far behind, but that doesn't mean she won't try to catch up to her, as those magical stones could definitely close the gap between them.

She has seen Alicia fight today, and she can tell she is fighting better than before, which must be because her stats have increased even more.

'I have to prove my worth so I can get more of those stones.'

After Isla, Alicia also reached the back lines, and her breathing was also haggard, but not as much as Isla's, though she was still tired.

Aiden, seeing all the others had backed away, quickly finished the remaining four zombies who were coming toward him. To do that, he dashed toward two of them who were coming together. Seeing how close they were as if they were coming in teams, Aiden didn't think much, and with a single light, fast slash, he beheaded both of them at the same time.

Fighting so many zombies until now, he has even learned their fighting patterns, so for him to behead both of them at the same time was not a hard task. He only needed a single quick and precise slash, and only 75% of his strength was more than enough to kill both of them at once. It felt like he was cutting something soft, with no resistance in between.

'I can take all these zombies myself if I use 100% of my strength, as this 6 to 7 zombies at a time is not a hard task if I take 3 to 4 zombies at the same time.'

The idea of using his magic didn't even enter his mind, as he didn't properly use his 100% strength on weak zombies. While he could open more of the gate increase, he wasn't going to do it, as he liked that everything was under his control. As things were going, he was perfectly fine with them.

Now, killing the other two zombies with a perfect single slash like before, he killed all the zombies close to him, but he could see that three more zombies had entered. However, he wasn't fighting anymore, as his figure became blurred for a few seconds, and he reached where Alicia was standing while catching her breath.

Alicia felt the strong gust of wind arrive next to her, and she knew who it must be, so without looking in his direction, she said in a loving voice while the sound of gunshots continued in the background.

"Aiden, I am tired. You should give me some hugs to make me feel much better."

Aiden, hearing her, didn't say anything and, walking up, gently hugged her body from the front. He felt a little bad as he couldn't feel her softness on his chest, but he still hugged her, knowing these armors were their protection.

He wasn't the only one having these thoughts, as more than him, Alicia had cursed this fancy armor a few times for not letting her feel his body. However, for now, she had decided to make do with the rosy scent coming from his body. She took a deep breath to catch his scent, as no amount of his scent would ever make her satisfied.

While Alicia was enjoying her hug, Aiden decided to check the two screens that had appeared in front of him during the fight, knowing this hug was going to be a long one.

'What could it be?' He didn't know what it could be, but he had some ideas it must be related to the magic they were using earlier.

So without wasting any time, he called out "status" as his information appeared in front of him on the blue transparent screen.

Seeing the status screen, which showed his normal reaction, he decided to ask the system how he could see the previous message.

Listening to his words, she lazily replied to him in her charming yet dominant voice.

'Just think of it; it will show itself.'

Knowing what to do, Aiden thought of the message that had appeared in front of him previously, as the screen in front of him changed.

[You have witnessed a fire elemental spell "Fire Ball(FF+)"]

[Your ability Origin of Element resonates with the Fire Ball spell. ]

[You have unlocked the Fire Affinity(FFF+) talent]

[You have witnessed an Earth elemental spell "Earth Bind(F-)"]

[Your ability Origin of Element resonates with the Earth Bind spell. ]

[You have unlocked the Earth Affinity(FFF+) talent]

Seeing the message, Aiden was surprised as he had almost forgotten about this ability.

'Does that mean seeing them cast those spells once unlocked the affinity because of my Origin of Element?'

'Even if it is only an FFF+ Elemental Affinity, it is still a good ability. However, why did this happen just now?'

He was confused as he started to think deeply about this inside his mind while hugging his sister. However, even after thinking for a few minutes, he still couldn't get any answers.

'I have seen my sister cast that thunder magic before, but there was no notification like this at that time. And even when Isla showed me her Air Affinity talent, this didn't happen, so what is different this time?'

He thought more, but he still couldn't come to any conclusion. He wanted to find out about this as he thought this would be very helpful. He didn't think people would easily let him touch them in the future, so getting a free affinity is not a bad deal, even if it is only FFF+.

'This can also help study other people's affinities.'

He decided to read the screen once again and stopped at the Fire Ball(FF+) as a realization dawned upon him.

'Did both of them from earlier develop these skills?' Even he hadn't created any magical skill up till now, so seeing this surprised him, as the only person he had seen with a skill was his sister, but she is different as the rank of her spell is a freaking SSS rank.

'I don't think this is a coincidence that both of them have skills; there has to be something I don't know.'

He started using his king's eyes ability one after another on different women, and the more he looked, the more surprised he felt.
