Chapter 196: A problem while creating a new skill?
The particular zombie's body was shivering in fear as he was thinking about the strange creature mixed inside these other creatures, who didn't make him feel much. However, the greed inside its eyes was making him drop a large amount of disgusting, gooey saliva just from the thought of having a bite of that being.
Still, the primal fear ingrained deep inside his bones stopped him from just rushing in, hoping to devour that group of feast.
Unlike his mindless kind alongside him, his instinct to survive had won over his instinct to devour and get strong, which was the only thing stopping him from just rushing there like the other mindless ones. Explore new worlds at m,v l'e-m|p y r
While the prey inside was not as enchanting as those four particular ones, still, inside these gates was enough prey for him to cross the wall he had been feeling for some time. A creepy smile appeared on his face as he growled loudly a few times, just thinking about his next destination after he devoured the prey hiding inside.
But this was not the only creature finding good prey to break the wall it was feeling, as all across the world, there were creatures on the verge of crossing their weakest state and awakening their unique talent, which was going to be a nightmare for the humans who thought these creatures with only strong physical capabilities were the only threat awaiting them.
Aiden was clueless about the intended challenge coming his way soon, and now he was only feeling a little bored. But he still didn't stop and continued killing them with a single strike, like always. Now, he didn't kill fewer than two zombies in one strike, as it felt like a waste to him.
The rate of his killing was increasing even more as his every strike killed more and more zombies. There was chaos everywhere as the corpses of zombies accumulated, and blood made the already red ground even redder due to their previous hunts. The smell of blood was thick, but nobody cared about it as they were only focused on killing more and more zombies.
Aiden had already killed more than two hundred zombies by now, and he was still going non-stop without feeling much. He only felt he had spent a little of his stamina, as he could go on for a long time even now.
Now, after killing for so long, his figure was still blurring from time to time as he reached another group of zombies. With one clean and powerful strike of his pitch-black sharp blade, he severed the heads of two zombies at the same time. Like before, he put his sword back in its scabbard. He had lost count of how many times he had done the same slash, which was why he thought it was enough for him to create a new skill.
'What should I name the skill?'
Aiden was thinking while dealing with other zombies casually. He decided to think seriously, as he knew that naming a skill was an important task, and a bad name could potentially even change the direction the skill would grow.
While thinking about creating this skill, he had the idea of creating a single-strike sword skill that was too fast for the enemy to even register what had happened before it had already done its job.
He already had strength, which was why he wanted a skill that was very fast and precise. If he met a creature like the rabbit earlier, which specialized in speed, he could have dealt with it with ease.
He didn't even want to imagine how nightmarish it would be for him if he met an enemy faster than him, which was why, in those scenarios, he wanted a skill that could give him a chance to fight that particular type of creature.
'Speed, sword strike, umm.'
'A sword strike that can take down opponents even many times faster than me.'
He was thinking hard while the terrifying screaming of zombies could be heard from time to time. Whatever was happening inside could only be described as a nightmare for the poor zombies.
A group of trained humans who had maxed out their physical strength was fighting against the zombies, who couldn't even walk properly and were very slow compared to them.
Blood of zombies was spilling non-stop as their lifeless bodies piled up around.
After a few minutes, Aiden finally decided on the name of the skill, which he was satisfied with, and he didn't think he could name it any better than this.
So, at one of the next strikes, which, as always, severed the necks of two more zombies like butter, Aiden called out the name of the skill inside his mind to name it.
'The One Strike.'
However, after naming the skill, just as he thought a green screen would appear in front of him showing the message of skill creation, nothing happened. No screen appeared in front of him.
'What happened?'
He didn't know what had happened, as he was confused now. He didn't get the message of creating a new skill. While confused, he decided to quickly check his status, but not before finishing all the zombies in front of him so that he could get a few seconds of time where he didn't have to be on guard.
After quickly finishing the zombies in the same way as before, he called up his status in his mind. A transparent blue screen appeared in front of him.
