Chapter 105 - Patient Zero (4) (1/2)

Aya opened her eyes wide when the zombie attacked.

She tried to twist her body out of the zombie's range, but she was too close to the zombie to avoid its attack. The zombie opened its jaws and extended its hand towards her heart.

Aya felt the time slow down at that moment. She saw her life flashing before her eyes, and her expressionless face was filled with unwillingness.

At that moment, Lily moved.

She had been hiding out of the zombie's sight, waiting for an opportunity to attack; but when she saw its master being attacked, Lily didn't hesitate to extend her claws and pounce towards its back.

However, the zombie was not going to let this opportunity pass. It ignored completely Lily's attack and continued charging towards Aya.

But when the claw was about to pierce Aya's chest, Aleen appeared.

He forced his body to move as fast as possible without using his skill, and reached just in time to stop the attack with his sword.

But because he rushed to protect Aya, he was unable to keep his balance after receiving the attack.

His body trembled slightly due to the impact. Aleen tried to resist the strength of the attack, but his arms began to bent back slowly, and his feet yielded to the pressure and failed to endure the impact.

At the next instant, Aleen's body was sent flying and crashed against the ground.

Aleen felt all the air leaving his lungs, but he struggled to keep his eyes open and did not move his sight away from the zombie. Aya recovered her footing in that brief instant, and jumped back, but the zombie wasn't interested in her anymore.

It knew that Aleen was the most dangerous of them and was wary against his high-speed movement; so, it charged right away towards him when it saw the chance to kill Aleen.

Aleen could see the level-three zombie closing with his claw-like nails outstretched. It was looking directly towards him with bloodshot eyes and smiling in delight.

Aleen's thoughts accelerated unconsciously; he activated the technique that he created using his first skill.

'Dynamic Sight'.

Aleen felt his surroundings slowing down under this technique, but despite it, he could see the threat of death closing slowly. Aleen looked around frantically, searching for a way out of this situation; but he saw nothing that he could use. Helpless, he could only opt for using his skill to escape from the attack.

But when he was about to activate it, someone appeared before him.

It was the bodyguard.

Aleen had fallen near the bodyguard when he received the zombie's attack.

And when the bodyguard saw that Aleen was about to be killed, he used his own body as a shield.

The bodyguard knew that if Aleen died, none of them could stop the creature, so he suppressed his instinctual fear towards death and put his body in front of Aleen.

And in the next second, the unpleasant sound of flesh and bones being pierced reached Aleen's ears.

Aleen looked consternated as the zombie's arm pierced the bodyguard.

It entered from his back and exited through his chest. Aleen could see in slow motion how the bodyguard's blood, flesh, and bones flew towards the surroundings.

Under the effects of 'Dynamic Sight', the scene was reflected clearly in his eyes, frame by frame.

But when he thought that it was the end of the bodyguard, he saw a smile.
