Chapter 211: Constant Correct Practice (1/2)
'Did they left already?' Nile asked Ogis for confirmation.
'Sigh* That was embarrassing. I almost killed them just because of a small misunderstanding. Well, it doesn't matter anyway, they kept on following me so I think it's a better excuse already.' He consoled himself.
Ogis reported immediately that the two had already retreated to where they came from.
'Ok… Continue being our scout from above, you did a good job this time. Report to me immediately if you spot someone, may it animals, zombies, humans, and even hybrids.' He instructed.
'Croc, stay hidden and always make sure to kill your enemy with a single blow.'
'Max, stay being my ride for now. You're a mobile tank so you will be useful when the time arises. Make sure to do well during those times!'
Nile instructed and praised his pets again. The three pets also reported enthusiastically after hearing the praise from their master. They don't know why they feel that way, but for them, it doesn't matter either way. Specifically, Maximo who worships Nile as if it was his ancestor.
They all worked hard until it was time for lunch already. In total, they killed ten level one zombies, earning Nile an additional 0.5 stats points and 50 Apocalypse Points.
It was regrettable that they didn't spot more and more powerful zombies but Nile only thought of it as a blessing in disguise. He doesn't want to jinx himself after all. What if he wishes for more zombies and then a hundred appears with an occasional level two and level three ones at that?
After searching for a while, Nile managed to find a dilapidated two-story building with a huge tree growing through its roof. As usual, when he wanted to get inside, he was stopped by Croco and Maximo, as loyal servants, they wanted to check the inside of the buildings first for they didn't want for their master to get hurt. Ogis was confused at first as to why the two lowly animals stopped their master, but after hearing their reason, he couldn't help but approve of it by himself, Ogis even commended them with a huge featherup(thumbs up).
There was a level two zombie inside, Croco ambushed it and tried to end the zombie's life with one strike, however, his blade only managed to slice halfway through its neck. With that, the zombie manages to counter-attack while slipping away from Croco.
Croco was struck, fortunately, he managed to block the sudden strike with his other blade causing sparks to fly everywhere. Nevertheless, as it was already a level two zombie, Croco was still hurt from the impact as his body retreated a few inches.
Seeing that scene, Maximo decided to reinforce while Croco retreated again to blend into the surroundings, searching for the best spot and timing to strike.
With Maximo's huge body, the building was trashed like broken glass. Without the huge tree holding it, it would probably collapse instantly.
The zombie was no longer in the best condition so Maximo managed to gain the upper hand by relying on his heavy body and high defense.
Upon realizing that it was losing the fight and feeling the danger around it, the zombie decided to retreat immediately.
