The Against All Odds

CH 44 - Cat?

Leo took a deep breath, focusing on every move he had to make to survive. He saw dozens of armored and heavily armed zombies moving forward towards him.

"Crazy, they're endless."

He felt trapped in the middle of the Colosseum field, with no place to shelter from any successive attacks from the zombies.

In the blink of an eye, Leo moved very quickly, took out his sword and slashed the first zombie at an impressive speed. He knew he had to be quick, taking advantage of the defeat of his enemy. He moved agilely, dodging the zombie attacks and slashing them one by one. Within moments, zombie corpses began to pile up around him, exposing Leo's speed and brutality.

Stam Gro-Ghoric, the Hellanders official who tested Leo on the field, took a few steps back, amazed by the speed Leo showed. "This speed, level 10? No, even though his strength was already restrained by the medicine from Dr.Trant, could it be that he was at the Master level?"

Leo did not regard their expressions as praise, as he watched the people around him begin to look amazed at his abilities. But rather than thinking about it, he knew, he had to keep fighting tirelessly.

Leo jumped up and slashed the zombie that was thrown in the air from his attack, then unsheathed his sword at lightning speed into the zombie body and slammed it into the ground.

Nimble, Leo moved forward and unleashed a powerful kick, which instantly shattered the zombie head in front of him into rubble. Leo almost looks like a 'tornado' flowing from one attack to another.

But the longer the time goes on, the more zombies come. Swords, spears, and large axes, in the hands of zombies glittered under the glare of the lights around the Colosseum. They approach slowly, form a circle around Leo, and prepare to attack.

Leo looked furiously and frustratedly at all the spectators around him. He had no choice but to defend and fight against the zombie horde scattered around him.

"Shed in this Colosseum made me even more worried about the fate of others, were they also captured by these criminals?"

However, as Leo was busy thinking, a legless zombie crawled up, dragging its body and almost biting Leo's leg.

Stam shouted loudly, told Leo about the danger of the zombie bite, and urged him to fight more focused. He didn't want his Master's trial item to just break down.

Leo raised his sword and attacked the zombies that threatened him. He swung his sword quickly and cut off the head of the zombie.

He moved forward and retreated, dodging any attacks from the zombies that started to invade.

Seeing this, Lucas laughed. "Leo Demhian, who was said to be a level 10 Celestial," he said as he patted his thigh, laughing happily. "You look ridiculous, you can't even beat those mushy zombies."

Leo felt his anger peaking at Lucas' words. But, he knew this moment was not the right moment to be angry. He must survive and find a way to survive and get out of this place.

However, just as he started slashing through the zombies before him to make their heads soar and roll over the Colosseum ground, a voice sounded inside his head.

"Don't keep attacking him, you fool!" The voice echoed in his head. Leo tried to figure out who was talking, he stopped the attack and waited for the next clue.

Leo immediately stepped back, making a distance from the zombie horde. He tried to make use of the slow movement of the zombies to find out.

"Who's there?"

"Who am I?" The voice just answered with a laugh.

His voice sounded resounding, heavy and terrifying, like a monster that was talking to him.

"Bwahaha!"

The voice exploded in a much more terrifying laugh. "King Sullivan is dead. You don't need to know who I am, you just have to accept me completely."

Leo began to understand the figure that was speaking in his mind, he felt it was the voice of the Nythorian power stored within him.

Then he closed his eyes immediately. At that moment, he felt as if something strange was happening to him. However, he did not think too much about it.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in a park she used to come to wait for her brother to come home from work.

Leo began to look around him and slowly realized that he was in a place that was very familiar to him.

He was surprised to see the other himself sitting in the garden alone, the other looked 10 years old.

Despite being alone, his face was as excited as waiting for something he was very much looking forward to. The atmosphere of the evening began to darken, but the spirit did not fade.

"Lo." Call someone in a soft voice.The voice does not sound foreign.

Little Leo looked towards the source of the voice. He immediately recognized the woman, the woman was his sister. Erala smiled and gave her ice cream and a bag of food. Little Leo was very happy and started eating the ice cream voraciously.

"You, if you see you sitting here alone tomorrow, you won't be buying ice cream again. I told you that you have to go home, so Leo just wait at home." Tegur Erala while fretting her ears.

Little Leo could only grimace while continuing to eat his ice cream. She knew this was not the first reprimand she got from her brother.

Leo was delighted that he was able to reminisce about the wonderful memories of being with his brother again. It was as if he was seeing a real recording of his life.

Suddenly, everything disappeared.

Leo was surprised and confused. He looked around, trying to figure out where they were going.

When he looked to the right, he saw a giant penguin standing next to him. The penguin is unlike any ordinary penguin, its hairy body is black and has a strange spiral in its eyes, and also has a height of about one and a half meters.

"What is this thing?" Leo's mind in wonder.

"There's no need to be surprised like that" said the fat penguin as he ate ice cream as greedily as b4bi.

Leo is speechless.

He looked and blinked his eyes a few times. "Who are you?" ask Leo cautiously. The penguin can speak, making him shocked.

"My name is Cat!" The fat Penguin replied with vigor.

"Cats? The world is crazy, isn't it?"
