[Keltic_Spirit: Ahhh Oliver, this shall become a black stain on your life. I never thought you would lie and say you were a masoc....]

[Xinhuan: A zombie with consciousness would probably be considered alive and can't be captured into Oliver's inventory. But if it is alive, then it isn't really a zombie.]

…

"So, that's the vanguard zombie." Oliver muttered while looking at the zombie, who was standing in the middle of the field. It wasn't located that far from the gas station. In fact, it seemed to be staying inside the giant crater peacefully.

The crater itself had a diameter of fifty meters. There were some smaller buildings that were perfect as covers.

Oliver went to one of the building's roofs and summoned his battle maid. There were also a lot of zombies scattered around.

Avalon sliced them swiftly, eliminating a lot of them. Of course, Haruka controlled them first with her exorcist spell so that they didn't release any sound when Avalon tried to kill them.

Maya monitored the entire situation while assessing the danger that came from their surroundings.

After fifteen minutes, the group was finally ready to take down the vanguard zombie.

Oliver couldn't help but suck a cold breath after looking at this zombie.

A normal zombie had purple-colored, rotten skin. There was a lot of blood coming out of their bodies and most of them had lost an organ, whether it was something small like their eyes. And obviously, because they were bitten, a lot of their flesh was ripped by the zombie's powerful jaws.

The smell and the sight were enough to make Oliver feel disgusted. At the same time, these people were originally humans. So he faced a bit of a dilemma.

However, it was different for the vanguard zombie.

When he looked down on the crater, he found a zombie like none other. It had a big, muscular body. Its arms were as big as Oliver's entire body. Its height was only two and a half meters. While it looked tall, it wasn't so tall that the zombie could be considered a giant.

Still, unlike the regular zombies, there didn't seem to be any bite marks on its body as though it had managed to recover the flesh of its original body and grow it even more.

The zombie had bloodshot eyes even though it looked so passive. Oliver could feel its killing intent even from far away.

More importantly, the arms looked a bit flat as if they were a shield.

Oliver had heard a little bit about the vanguard zombie. It seemed that this zombie could easily bulldoze a giant building alone.

It would be troublesome if he got hit by its charge, so Oliver planned to maintain a good distance from this guy.

If there was someone who could withstand this zombie, it would be Avalon. And this Avalon was standing right at the edge of the crater, ready to jump down.

Maya was located on the opposite side, while Haruka was a bit farther away, controlling the zombies to check the surrounding area.

As soon as Haruka deemed it safe, she immediately took out a few talismans and placed them on the ground.@@novelbin@@

"Five Elements Seal." Haruka slapped the ground and released her essence.

A pentagon appeared around the vanguard zombie, alarming it.

"!!!" The zombie looked at the pentagon and tried to stomp on the ground.

But before it could happen, the pentagon released a rainbow-colored light into the sky, turning it into a pillar.

The moment the zombie stomped the ground, only the crater got a bit deeper while the pentagon remained in its place.

Realizing that it wasn't effective, the vanguard zombie smashed the rainbow light with all its strength.

*Bam!*

The clash was so loud that the ground vibrated for a split second.

To the zombie's surprise, the barrier remained intact, trapping him inside.

"Water!" Haruka tossed the talisman into the crater. The talisman summoned water like raging waves, trying to fill up the entire area with it.

"!!!" The zombie was surprised by this amount of water and tried to escape even harder.

However, the barrier remained intact no matter how hard he smashed it.

When the water was about to fill up the area, the zombie took a deep breath.

"Huh?" All the students couldn't help but widen their eyes in confusion, not knowing what the zombie was planning to do.

All of a sudden, the zombie screamed.

"Aaaaaaaa!"

The sound was so loud that all the students closed their ears.

"Aaaaarrghh!" Oliver and Maya fell on their knees. Maya couldn't help but say, "What is this? There is no record about the vanguard zombie capable of releasing a sound attack."

Avalon bit his lips while supporting his body with his sword. Meanwhile, Haruka closed her eyes while maintaining the barrier as much as she could.

She managed to endure the sound attack, but her control over the barrier weakened for a moment.

The zombie saw it and immediately smashed the barrier.

*Clank!*

The barrier broke like a glass.

"Earth!" Haruka immediately threw another talisman, causing the ground to shake. The rock around the zombie started to rise, ultimately creating a dome-shaped barrier to stop him. "Wood."

Haruka then let another talisman flow on the water's surface. As it was being carried by the water, the soil underneath his feet began to absorb the water as vines emerged from the cracks.

The zombie tried to escape, but the vines were much faster at wrapping around his wrists and ankles, preventing the zombies from moving.

The moment the water was completely absorbed, Haruka raised another talisman. "Fire."

It spurted out fire, which lit up the vines.

*Roar!* The zombie looked like it was in pain.

However, Haruka didn't plan to stop here. She threw the last talisman, which fulfilled the combination. "Metal."

The talisman turned into a sword and flew toward the zombie's neck to sever it.

"Thus fulfilling the principle of five elements," Haruka muttered. The zombie shouldn't be able to do anything as the sword pierces his neck.

But to Haruka's surprise, the zombie's eyes turned bloodshot as it ignored all the pain and suddenly lowered its head before stopping the sword with its teeth.

"What?!" Haruka dropped her jaw to the ground. The sword was supposed to be strong enough to pierce through iron and the momentum was quite high. So, she didn't expect that the zombie could stop it with its teeth.

The zombie suddenly raised both hands. The vines didn't break, but the rock that supplied the vines ended up rising to the surface, ultimately freeing the zombie.

*Roar!*

The zombie looked at Haruka and jumped into the air, trying to cover the distance between them in a single leap.

Avalon took a deep breath as the links on his body began to appear on his skin. He then jumped from the side, striking the zombie with his sword.

The zombie saw him from a mile away and simply raised its right hand, catching the sword bare-handed.

"Huh?" Avalon used all his strength, but he was surprised that the blade could only reach the surface of the skin. It didn't even have enough momentum to actually damage the skin.

The zombie turned around to deal with Avalon first, but Maya helped him first by striking the zombie from behind with her exoskeleton.

The zombie turned around again, but Avalon stomped the ground, using all his strength to restrain the zombie's movement for a bit.

Startled, the zombie's head halted, but it was too late to react as Maya had punched the zombie with the giant robotic arm, launching it back to the center of the crater.

"Maya, Avalon. Buy me three minutes to finish my prayer."

"Got it." Maya and Avalon nodded their heads as they charged toward the zombie.

In that instant, Haruka made a hand seal that looked like a pentagram and started muttering the prayer in her language.

Whether it was his instinct or something else, the zombie noticed the danger coming from Haruka's prayer. Even Maya understood that Haruka was planning to do something crazy.

She couldn't do this during the sparring since Mia would definitely target her, but with such reliable classmates protecting her, Haruka decided to give it a try.

Avalon was the first one to reach the zombie.

*Clank!*

*Clank!*

*Clank!*

A few clicking sounds echoed on the battlefield as Avalon noticed that the zombie's skin was actually tougher than steel. A normal attack wouldn't be enough to hurt the zombie. At the same time, this zombie was clearly not serious yet.

"Tsk." Avalon clicked his tongue.

As soon as Maya appeared from the side, the zombie had no choice but to split his attention.

Maya punched the zombie with the giant exoskeleton, and the latter used its arm to block it.

This was an opportunity for Avalon as he took a deep breath and covered the sword with his essence. He then slashed downward like he did during the sparring.

When the zombie was about to catch the sword, Avalon twisted his sword a little bit, changing its trajectory and ultimately hitting the zombie's thigh.

*Clank!*

This time, he noticed a shallow wound on the zombie's skin, but it was so shallow that a single drop of blood was everything that came out of the wound before it began to close again.

The blood was green, making Avalon ask, "Is their blood poisonous or something?"

"You've got the vaccine, so it won't affect you," Maya answered.

Avalon nodded, feeling assured.

The zombie didn't like this and tried to break this stalemate. However, a bullet suddenly hit the wound that was about to close, widening it.

"!!!" The zombie was surprised and turned his head around, finding Oliver with the two battle maids.

"I hope you don't forget about me." Oliver smirked.
