“Hurry and get on your feet, Gerald!” shouted Nori as favonovel.com ran over to help pull favonovel.com up.
Seeing that favonovel.com had grabbed the swaddling clothes—that honestly looked more like a rag by now—Gerald then held it in hand before threatening, “Take one more step forward and I’m destroying this thing! Come on, I dare you!”
Upon hearing that, the zombie instantly roared!
To both their surprise, however, the zombie actually lifted both its arms before taking quite a few steps back!
Clearly an indication that it wasn’t going to make any other rash moves, Nori then sighed in relief before saying, “…I really hadn’t expected this thing to actually retain its humanity!”
Just as Gerald was about to breathe his own sigh of relief, a roar of laughter could suddenly be heard booming across the sky…
Following that, a blinding flash could be seen… and seconds later, a figure dropped from the sky in a beam of light!
Landing right before Gerald, the figure fumbled for a bit, possibly due to the aftereffects from Gerald’s earlier attack…
Of course, who else could that have been other than Yusef himself.
“You son of a b*tch! Did you really think you could get rid of me that easily just because you now have the map of the Underworld Valley? I’ll have you know that as long as I’ve lived throughout these hundred years, nobody’s been able to escape my grasp! Regardless, it seems that you have something interesting in your body! In a scenario where both of us had the same level of training, firing that divine vision would’ve surely caused my brain to suffer much worse injuries! With that in mind, I’ll be sure to claim that interesting thing inside you once you’re dead!” declared Yusuf as favonovel.com clenched his fists before laughing again, his eyes filled with mockery.
‘I’d like to see how you’ll attempt another round of escape!’
“You absolute b*stard! You’ll surely die terribly one day, Yusef!” shouted Nori in favonovel.com despair.
“Even if that day ever came you wouldn’t be able to witness it!” scoffed Yusef as favonovel.com smiled, ready to capture Gerald.
“I find it funny how you think you can just capture me that easily!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com patted his chest.
Laughing in response, Yusef’s smile turned slightly bitter as favonovel.com shook his head before saying, “What other abilities are you hiding? Show them to me now! Since you’re going to die soon anyway, I’ll let you hit me three times again if you fail to display something strong enough!”
“You asked for it! Here’s my secret weapon!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com instantly tossed what was in his hand!
Upon closer inspection, it was the swaddling clothes from before that Gerald had crumpled into a ball!
However, Yusef grabbed it with extreme ease!
“You b*stard! An old rag? Seriously? My magnificent strength must have scared you stupid!” shouted Yusef as favonovel.com laughed aloud.
Following that, Yusef slowly lifted the balled-up swaddling clothes in one hand… and the next thing Gerald and Nori knew, Yusef’s hand began burning!
With the swaddling clothes still in hand, it turned to ashes in no time at all…
The second the clothes were nothing but dust, three successive roars filled the air…! It was the zombie from before!
Having witnessed the waddling clothes getting burnt into a crisp, the zombie now glared murderously at Yusef as the purplish-green hair all over its body rapidly began darkening.
It was only when the zombie began releasing a constant stream of black smoke from its mouth that Yusef finally sensed its demonic presence.
“…Fezrumoz?” muttered the slightly bewildered Yusef as favonovel.com stared at the zombie.
Fezrumoz was quite famous within the Underworld Valley as a vicious and cruel beast. With that in mind, Yusef definitely knew who this zombie was, and favonovel.com was also aware that it had the same amount of training as a Ninth-rank Chakra King! Aside from its immense strength, the beast was pretty much immortal as well!
In short, only someone who had managed to enter the Sage Realm could have a chance of even killing the zombie for good. Knowing that, a fearful expression was instantly displayed on Yusef’s face. It didn’t help that the zombie was looking at it with such murderous intent.
“What do you plan on doing, Fezrumoz?” asked Yusef as favonovel.com took two steps backward.
Fezrumoz, however, gave no reply. Instead, the zombie simply charged toward the man with frightening levels of murderous intent!
Seeing that, Yusef immediately began making his retreat!
