Aiden, only after seeing the number of talents he had, felt quite satisfied, as only on the second day of evolution, he had a total of five talents of different affinities, excluding his original Celestial talent.
He didn't focus on them for long, even though he felt quite excited seeing how many talents he had, and he even thought of utilizing them soon, as even when having so many talents, if he didn't use them properly, it was no different from not having them at all.
While he was only using his physical abilities for now, when training, he planned to practice different elements as well, which could be helpful to him and create even more skills, as he never knew when he might need them.
'It's good to always be prepared.'
Going downward, he could see his usual stats, and just below it was his skill section where he could see all his skills. However, there was no new skill named
The One Strike
in this section. It meant that no skill had been created, even after he had named the skill.
Seeing the only SSS-ranked skill gave him some relief. However, he was still very confused, and the only conclusion he came to after a little bit more thinking was that he hadn't done enough before naming the skill. So, clearing his thoughts away, he focused on the task ahead of killing the zombies that had just entered. After killing some more, he would try again and see if he could create the skill or not.
Time passed as Aiden continued to kill more and more zombies without stopping. Corpses were everywhere, and as he killed more and more, the scent of blood grew thick. He could see that others beside him were starting to get tired. He noticed the sweat dripping down their faces, and the blood on their armor, and from their body language, he could tell they were exhausted.
While Alicia and Isla were in much better condition than the others, they were also feeling tired. Isla was much more tired than Alicia, as her control over her strength was a little inferior to Alicia's. Considering that Alicia had all her stats maxed out, including vitality, defense, and intelligence, her rate of recovery was faster than Isla's, which gave her a solid advantage over her.
However, Isla, seeing how Alicia looked much more relaxed than her, didn't show any reaction, as she was confident in herself. Even when she was at a disadvantage, she wasn't going to give up until she had to leave.
Gritting her teeth, she continued. Isla hadn't used her air affinity until now, as she didn't think she needed it. But now, to make time for taking a little rest, she started to use her
Wind Blade
skill, using at least half of her mana to kill a zombie in a single strike to its neck.
Her control over her element was quite good, and the distance between her and the zombies was very close, which was why killing them in one strike was possible for her, even with her magic.
Using the strategy of killing three to four zombies using her sword, then catching her breath by killing one using her magic, the time in between was enough for her to recover her mana to some degree. This made it possible for her to continue without much worry.
She started to feel much more comfortable doing this, as she felt like she could continue much longer if she went on like this. However, there was no joy on her face, as she knew Alicia had still not used her talent until now.
Isla had seen her talent earlier, and she knew that when Alicia started using her talent, it would be much more difficult for her to keep up. One more thing she had noticed was that Alicia's swordsmanship was many, many times better than her own. She felt like a child comparing her rough skills to hers.
Deep inside, she realized her situation was looking bleak. Sooner or later, she wouldn't be able to keep up with her and would have to go back and rest. However, even while knowing that, her will was still solid, and she was going to continue with sheer willpower if she had to.
Alicia had noticed Isla looking at her a few seconds earlier, and she was sure that the little twerp was trying to compete with her. Even though she felt it was a little childish, as she was clearly stronger than her, she still wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of even coming close to her. Even in this so-called competition of hers, Alicia was going to make her see the brutal reality of how she was clearly stronger than her.
So now, even she had started to cast her thunder spell from time to time to one-shot the zombies. Unlike Isla, who aimed for the neck with full concentration, which took a toll on her mind a little, Alicia was just directly casting her spell on them.
The zombies hit by her powerful thunder strikes withered on the ground for a few seconds with their charred bodies and then finally let out heart-wrenching screams.
The thunderous sound of lightning could be heard from time to time now as Alicia tried her best to last as long as she could and kill the maximum number of zombies. Unlike others, her magic attracted quite a bit of attention, as the scene of her fighting the zombies was quite beautiful yet deadly compared to theirs.
They were not the only ones who were trying their best, as the group of two ladies who were in two similar groups also tried their best. They now had a little better control over their strength, and they were now used to fighting zombies, as only one of them had killed more than 70 zombies at that time. Seeing how their leader and everyone else was still going, they were not going to stop.
