Chapter 34 - Raven

-RAWR!

A zombie charged at Raven, as she dodged it with a side step before placing her dagger on the Zombie's neck, and then slashing it as cleanly as possible.

The Zombie's body fell on the ground, lifeless, before it slowly disintegrated into nothingness.

-Rawr! Rawr!

Behind her, two more Zombies almost reached her, but taking a carefully calculated back step, she slipped between the two zombies, dodging them both at once.

And then changing her grip on the daggers in her hand, she took a step forward within the next instance.

-Stab! Stab!

She then stabbed the two zombies in their necks, killing them both with a single attack, and creating a small room for breathing in this seemingly never-ending battle.

In the small moments she could recover her strength, her eyes then silently looked at Blaze, killing another zombie with ease. 

The distance with the spear is beneficial. She thought as she analysed the amateurish movements that he was making. 

He wasn't perfect in any way. Akin to a child who held a spear for the first time in his life. Perhaps it was those 'skills' that this game provides the players that he was using, but in the real world, he would be bested by almost anyone.

Even in this world, in this situation, it was barely enough to survive this ordeal, but then again, it's not like his life was on line. At the very worst, he would only lose a few levels.

Taking a side step, as Raven then dodged another zombie's attack, before raising her dagger, positioning near its heart. 

-Stab!

[Durability reached Zero]

[Weapon Broken!]

The zombie fell on the ground lifeless, while Raven took another dagger from her makeshift bag that she was carrying. Her inventory was already carrying 5 daggers, but she was saving them for critical movements.

For now, she had a few spare daggers that she got from hunting goblins.

A single dagger can kill about 15 zombies, so I should be able to last the waves. Especially, since most of the zombies are being taken care of by him. She then turned to Ezekiel as he swiftly killed 5 more zombies, once again, in a single instance.

Each of his moves was refined, every step calculated. Raven tried to analyse him as much as possible, but no matter how many times she did, she could never find herself replicating even half of what this man was doing.

He is as strong as elder sister, if not stronger. Just… who is he? Raven got even more curious as she analysed Ezekiel. 

There was no way someone like him wouldn't be famous in the underworld. If he isn't… this is going to be sensational… The elders are going to be crazy over this. She thought as she saw Ezekiel killing the second last zombie of the first wave.

As for the last one, it was attacking Blaze who was finding it difficult to kill the zombies in one attack like Ezekiel and her. It took him two or three hits to kill one before he could move to the next one.

A few seconds later, Blaze thrusted his spear into the zombie's heart, finally killing him and ending the first wave.

[Wave 1 Ended!]

[Total time left: 5: 49: 17]

[Wave 2 Begins!]

[Location: Liwa Town!]

Sitting on a tree branch, she looked at the screen with a serious expression. Her sapphire-like blue eyes didn't stop observing the white haired boy who was slashing through zombies without any wasted moment.

As her long curly black hair fluttered against the breeze, brushing against the long sword resting on her waist on the left, she slowly pulled her hair away, while correcting the sword's position along with the scabbard. On the other side of the waist belt, there was also a dull red coloured book placed in a bookcase attached to the belt.

A glowing name was being highlighted in white on the top of her head.

[Shadow Witch Level 6]

She was Aurora, the girl whom Ezekiel met in the coffee shop. She was once the lover of Ezekiel in her previous life. The one who committed suicide as her life shackled her throat from all sides.

Though right now, she was but a stranger in Ezekiel's life.

He is good. No. He is beyond that… this isn't something an average person could do. It's not just stats and skills… this person… he must be equally strong in real life too. Aurora analysed Ezekiel's skills as she compared them to her own.

The feeling growing within her wasn't of love or affection but a curiosity of wanting to know who was superior among them. She wanted to fight this person, she was itching for a match against someone as skilled as this.

"I knew it was the right choice to join this game… I can finally hone my skills without any restrictions here," she said as she decided to search for the location of the place where this guy was.

The location of Inara Settlement.

About 100km from here, huh? That's not too far. But still… Let's not rush things. Then curbing her fighting desire, she decided to focus on her own level and stats first. 

If she wasted days just to find this guy, who probably won't even be there by that time, she would be taken over by 100s or 1000s of players who were using all their time to level up as much as possible.

Someday. She mumbled before she decided to log out for today. It was already midnight so she couldn't level up with monsters being stronger at night, and as for the stream, she could just watch it from her laptop in the dorm room.
