Chapter 195: Unknown Enemy?
And for Aiden, whose physical capabilities were five times stronger than their maxed-out strength, it was not even a question of how easy it was for him to handle these weak zombies, who were only coming inside to make him stronger. This was the reason he had opened the gate a little more than yesterday, allowing two zombies to pass through the gate at the same time with little difficulty.
However, even with this, it was quite easy for him to handle them, as the most zombies that could group up at the same time were about eight. Even when he was not giving his best, he would kill three to four zombies among them using his 75% strength while using the same attack pattern as before.
Killing the zombie in one strike by severing its neck and then quickly putting his sword back in its scabbard, he had already noticed how the zombies were trying to retreat after he had killed more than 30 of them. This clearly indicated their growing intelligence, as even they could tell that they had no chance while fighting him.
However, Aiden wouldn\'t let them do what they wanted. He would kill them before they could escape him, using his fast speed, as only his blurry figure could be seen from time to time. He would let a few of them escape toward the others to let them also gain experience from it. Killing eight at a time was not easy for him either; he had to give it his all at 75% strength while completely focusing, as a mistake could lead to some serious consequences.

But if he wanted, he could just separate them by some distance by using his lightning-fast speed, then kill them—it would take a little more time than usual, but it was still possible for him to handle them even alone at 75% strength.
However, in this scenario, more zombies would accumulate inside. While he would be able to handle them for some time, he was confident he could do so without using his magic. However, if he really wanted to fight them alone using only 75% of his strength, he didn\'t think it was possible to do so for more than 30 minutes without using his magic along with it.
He severed the necks of three zombies in a single clean strike, and after killing them, he quickly put his sword back into its sheath as always. In a blur, he left for the next zombies without waiting for their heads to drop to the ground.
While he was feeling good about killing more zombies as he collected more cores that were going to make him even stronger, he was feeling a little bored killing these weak zombies who didn\'t even put up a fight for him. He only enjoyed it a little when he killed more than two zombies in a single strike, as killing one felt too easy for him.
He didn\'t even feel his swordsmanship skill improving while fighting those who couldn\'t even fight properly against him. Their fighting style was only just throwing random attacks, and the most important thing was that they were very slow for him. They almost felt like they were in slow motion—not to that degree, but they were very slow for him.
\'I just have to kill more. I know I will find something much more challenging soon.\'
The system, hearing his thought, smiled a little in the soul realm as she liked what he had thought. She was feeling bored watching him kill these weak zombies for two days. She wanted something much more exciting; these zombies, who couldn\'t even put up a fight against him, were not fun to watch for her.
But she was worried about this, as even if he hadn\'t thought about it, there was still something waiting for him outside that would at least put up some fight against this little monster.
Five hundred meters away from where Aiden was currently fighting, there was one particular zombie who was not growling too much like the others Aiden had met. Clear madness could be seen in its eyes, but unlike their madness-filled red eyes, this particular red had a little bit of light of intelligence inside it.
The way this zombie was walking was much more efficient than the others, unlike their usual strange and twisted way of walking, which made them slower. This zombie was almost mimicking a human; even while its movements were rough, they were still much faster than the others.
Inside a shopping mall across the main road, only five hundred meters away from Aiden, it was banging on a metal gate to enter a particular room from which the sound of crying and whimpering could be heard. It could feel that if it devoured the creature inside, it could become many times stronger.
Different from the others—different from the weak and the mindless who were beside it, also trying to enter inside the same gate.
It stopped banging on the gates for a few seconds and looked in one particular direction where its instincts were screaming at it to go, as there was a feast waiting for it there—not one or two but many.
But out of all, there were three particular ones that, even after only feeling their presence alone, its instincts were telling it that it would become many times stronger if it devoured them.
However, that was not the only thing it was feeling right now, as even these three presences alone were enough to make it feel fear. However, mixed with these creatures, there was a strange being inside that was making chills run down its spine. The idea of even trying to go close to that place hadn\'t even come to its weak mind, which had only the intelligence of a three-year-old child.
