Meanwhile, somewhere else.
On the second floor of an abandoned department store, Evans lurks. He looked at the dozens of zombies in the distance with a serious expression. Out of the fourteen zombies, there were two level two zombies. Of course, the young man only knew him as a higher ranked zombie.
‘If before I must have escaped, now it's different. With my current strength, I should be able to fight them, right?’
Evans took a deep breath. He then walked towards a place where he could aim easily. Although some of his enemies were weaker than him, they were still outnumbered. In addition, there were also two zombies that made him feel the threat.
Arriving at the right place, Evans picked up the arrow. He then used the bow in his left hand, danced the bowstring with his right hand then aimed at the zombies.
Swooshes! Jem!
An arrow directly pierced through the eye and damaged the creature's brain. The zombies were instantly thrashed. But not caring about the zombies, Evans immediately aimed at other zombies.
Two, three, four .. twelve zombies actually managed to get hit by Evans' arrow. Although not killed immediately, the creature lost some of its power due to the focus on the pain in its brain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Evans instantly took out a short sword. Gripping tightly onto his sword, he immediately jumped from the second-floor window and landed on the roof of a broken car.
The zombies were immediately attracted by the sound made by Evans. At the moment when the zombies rushed towards him, he also directly ran towards the zombies. Completely ready to fight, unlike his old self who always chose to escape.
A slash! A slash! A slash!
Having a cold and cruel expression on his face, Evans instantly decapitated one by one the zombies he considered weaker. One, two, three .. The more necks that young man cut. However he continued to advance and attack, not intending to stop before successfully decapitating all the zombies.
By the time the head of the twelve zombies fell and Evans was about to charge towards the next zombie, his expression instantly changed. He chose to stop and then jumped back.
Bang out!
A large basin appeared where Evans had previously stood. There, it appeared to be one of the second level zombies that landed. Another level two zombie also came, staring at Evans with a ferocious expression on his face.
Looking at the two life-threatening creatures, Evans forced himself to smile as he said.
“Next is the head of both of you.”
***
About an hour later.
Evans could no longer stand up straight. He took a deep breath. The young man clearly looked extremely exhausted. Evans then staggered and sat on the front steps of one of the buildings.
After a few moments of rest and feeling light, Evans was shocked to hear the voices of others. He immediately stood up and put up a fighting position, looking extremely vigilant.
“Very interesting ... You actually broke through level two?”
The question left Evans who had just recovered some of his strength shocked. Continuing to stare towards the source of the voice, he saw a black-robed and masked figure emerge from the darkness.
The two people looked at each other. Evans was surprised by the mysterious figure. Meanwhile, a figure in a robe, Saito also looked towards Evans with a surprised expression. Although it had been watching him for some time and was quite certain about the young man's appearance, but looking at him up close clearly had a different visual impact.
“Have you heard the name Ark, or ... Archie?”
Hearing the words from Saito's mouth, Evans' eyes widened. Looking at the figure towards the black-robed and masked figure that emerged from nothing like a demon, the young man cursed deeply inwardly.
‘Who are you, brother? After the mad woman, there is now a ghost that appears out of nowhere to ask you! Now I feel that having a handsome face like you is really more like a curse!’
If Evans used to feel quite proud of his appearance that was somewhat similar to Ark, now he felt sad for it. The young man obviously did not provoke anyone, but back-to-back there were ‘kutini’ his older brother who came for ‘knocking on the door’. It was really annoying and a bit scary!
‘I should have run away. I should have run, but ..’
Swooshes!
Klang's!
Instead of taking out his katana, Saito pulled out a short dagger to fend off Evans' attack. Seeing himself not moving in the slightest from his place, a look full of surprise appeared on Evans' face.
Evans jumped back a few meters and looked at Saito with a serious expression. Holding the short sword in his right hand tightly, the young man took a deep breath then shouted.
“What is your relationship with that crazy woman? Why do you all keep looking for Archie? You crazy people!”
Seeing the confusion in Saito's eyes, Evans immediately seized the opportunity to attack with all his might. He immediately shot towards Saito then stabbed him with all his might.
Klang's!
Seeing Saito deflecting his attack casually, Evans who was slightly bounced away due to the impact twisted his body in midair. He then launched a hard kick towards his opponent's neck, but once again Saito raised his hand and deflected the kick.
Knowing there was no similarity, Evans who gritted his teeth immediately threw a round object right into Saito's face. The man directly slashed at him with a calm expression, but.
POOF!!!
The round thing exploded and a white smoke instantly filled the surrounding area. Saito was a little surprised, but soon regained his composure. At that moment, he saw a knife being thrown out, and almost hit his face.
Ding!
Saito deflected it calmly. He also heard footsteps rushing away. The man clearly knew that Evans was running away, but did not at all choose to pursue.
After all, the reason why Saito came to this place was to look for the existence of the Spirit of Fire group that was famous for opposing the Crux of Shadow. According to the rumors, they were in the area around here, but no one knew for sure where they were.
Looking at Evans' performance and the equipment he had, the young man should have joined the group. So Saito didn't bother bringing her back because he didn't know what Ark was planning. The man intended to report to the chairman and let him give his next assignment.
For now, Saito is even more interested in what Evans did before.
‘Stypes of flour from certain plants that are milled but not edible, is it?’
Rubbing the flour with his two fingers, Saito thought with an interested expression. He then glanced towards his shoulder. Although not injured, the man saw a slight incision wound on his robe.
Saito smiled. He obviously underestimated Evans too much. But now that the man was aware, even if it wasn't as strong as his brother, Ark's sister would definitely not be a random man either.
“I want to see how you look when you hear that your sister grew so much without your help in this crazy world, Chairman.”
Saying that, Saito looked towards the sky with a smile behind his mask.
Meanwhile, several kilometers away from that place.
Evans continued to flee. Knowing how terrifying the cloaked figure was, he did not dare to slow down at all. Based on his appearance, the young man knew that his previous opponent was clearly from the Sword of Sufferings group that had just appeared.
‘Silvia and Crux of Shadow ..’
‘Mysterious man and Sword of Sufferings ..’
Evans gritted his teeth. Having a burning determination in his heart, he muttered.
“Lain times ... Next time I won't lose to you!”
