Chapter 356 - EXP

"The EXP is mine." Theo used his Magic Bullets to pierce another five zombies before knocking the other heads off their bodies with his bare fist.

The zombies couldn't do anything because the water droplets rendered them useless.

[Killed a Zombie Mage.]

[EXP+2500]

[Killed a Zombie Archer.]

[EXP+2760]

Theo smiled before disappearing again, leaving nothing behind. He didn't bring a spear anyway, so it was easy for his clone to leave everything behind, unlike the first attempt where he needed to let the spear drop to the ground and stay there for a while.

The Zombie Lich furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what Theo wanted. At first, he launched the fish to the land, weakening its power. In a normal fight, the fish was obviously going to die if it fought the lich. Yet, every time he had a chance, Theo killed the zombies, weakening the lich even further.

Even so, the target of his revenge was before his eyes. The Zombie Lich chose to ignore Theo's intention for the time being and focused on the fish first. As long as he could kill it, he could think about how to handle Theo later.

The lich raised the staff and summoned a crescent-shaped green flame.

The fish narrowed its eyes and opened its mouth again, stopping the green flame with its two fangs.

However, this was what the lich actually wanted this whole time. The moment the green flame hit the fangs, it then circled around the two fangs and enveloped them.

This attack contained powerful toxicity and corrosive power, melting the two fangs and snapping it into only a third left.

"!!!" The fish widened its eyes. It panicked for a second and flapped its tail again, trying to return to the water as soon as possible.

Even the Zombie Lich seemed to be surprised by such a reaction from the fish. Yet, it never intended to let the fish escape. He summoned another wave of green flame, trying to swallow the fish.

At the same time, the Zombie Warriors and Zombie Knights had been waiting for the fish next to the river, blocking its way.

When the fish was about to reach them, they charged together, releasing their attacks simultaneously.

Unfortunately for them, the fish had another trump card on his sleeve.

The water suddenly burst out and splashed everything around them, knocking the zombies away. Some zombies managed to hold on, but they could only see the fish jumping into the water.

However, Theo, who wanted to kill this fish obviously, didn't let the fish achieve what he wanted.

Ava reappeared together with Theo on the opposite side of the river. They both leaped together to the fish.

"!!!" Due to that technique earlier, the fish couldn't move its body.

Even though the water was just a few steps away from him, it looked impossible to reach it no matter what.

That was the thought of the fish before Ava hit it again, launching the fish back to the Zombie Lich.

Theo, on the other hand, used the chance the fish gave him by collapsing the zombie formation to summon forty Magic Bullets with his clone, blasting most of the zombies' heads.

The real Theo then used his spear to kill the remaining zombies while his clone picked up the spear he dropped earlier.

The three of them then stood next to the river, looking at the lich and others with a smile.

".." The Zombie Lich was dumbfounded. He then realized the fish had created an opportunity for Theo to kill almost forty zombies he had. Also, the fish was heavily injured, making it an easy target even if the fish somehow defeated him.

In other words, Theo wanted to kill both of them by making them clash against each other.

His hatred for the fish was just another catalyst that came into the play.

The Zombie Lich suddenly wondered whether he should fight the fish or not. In the end, he commanded the rest of the zombies to fight Theo, preventing him from interfering with the duel.

His time should have ended in the past, so whether he would be dead or alive after killing the fish.. It wasn't important anymore.

The fish was still oblivious to Theo's intention and thought Theo just wanted to help him destroy these zombies. Hence, he allowed Theo to do whatever he wanted even though the rabbit next to him had kicked him twice.

As long as he killed the Zombie Lich, everything would be over.

Feeling the intense killing intent from the fish, the Zombie Lich responded to that challenge by snapping his fingers.

Three tombstones made of light re-emerged from the ground.

The fish launched its body to the lich by flapping its tail, trying to strike the lich with his remaining fangs. Even though both fangs had been destroyed, they should still be powerful enough to pierce the zombie's body.

Unfortunately for him, the Zombie Lich clapped its hand, gathering all the energy from the three stones to form a big blue shield in front of him.

The two long teeth hit the shield, trying to shatter it. However, the situation turned out to be different than he expected.

The shield refused to break and held that huge fish body in the air for a moment.

This allowed the lich to command five of the zombies to strike the fish.

Bam.

"!!!" The fish opened its mouth in pain while dropping to the ground with five huge wounds on its body.

The lich wanted to kill the fish, but two lights came into his vision and hit the fish's head, creating two holes in it. Each hole was as big as a human head, so the fish died very soon.

The lich's body shook and turned around, seeing Theo, his clone and Ava finally came to them.

He soon realized all ten zombies had been defeated in an instant.

"I already said you could win the battle, but I would be the one getting the EXP." Theo smirked and raised his spear. "Ava, you and my clone will take care of the five zombies. I will handle the lich myself."

"Kyu!" Ava nodded furiously as she released her lightning.

Theo pointed his spear at the lich with a smile on his face. "It's only you and me."
