Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 70

No, the time is not the only problem. Bai Zemin shook his head and the frown on his face deepened ashe realized that things were even more complicated than they appeared to be at first.

The time was the main problem since currently his enemies were only three low-level zombies thatmoved at the speed of a turtle. But even if they were moving slow, if the number of zombies wasoverwhelmingly high to the point where while Bai Zemin took care of killing some others would havealready closed the distance then nothing would be meaningful.

But another problem that Bai Zemin almost overlooked was concentration.

In this situation, it was fine as he knew the weaknesses and strengths of the enemy he was facing.However, was it possible to do something like this against enemies unknown to him? The answer thatBai Zemin got after considering every detail carefully was a resounding no.

How could he, while striving to keep his body intact and without suffering as many injuries as possible,even have time to focus on creating and imagining the shape of a weapon or object and then mobilizehis Mana carefully while moving around the battlefield? Doing so many tasks at the same time was notonly extremely difficult but could also cause him to lose focus on his own safety for an instant and inthat instant, his life could be over.

“It really is hard.” He sighed as he scratched his head before continuing to move forward in a southeastdirection.

Whenever small groups of zombies appeared, Bai Zemin used them as guinea pigs to practice hiscontrol over Mana to reduce the amount of concentration he needed to optimally mobilize it. At thesame time, he was trying to figure out the best way to imagine the formation of blood spears; instead ofconstantly changing the weapon’s form, Bai Zemin had come to the conclusion that it was better tomaster one form first before focusing on others.

His First Order Blood Manipulation skill was powerful against living enemies capable of feeling pain.However, while it was possible to use it to shape and control blood from liquid to solid state, thedifficulty was very great as it depended 100% on Bai Zemin’s imagination.

During the conversion process, he needed to imagine the process of creating the weapon to shape itand doing that in the middle of combat was not easy. In fact, the reason he was able to do it moreeasily was probably thanks to his work before the apocalypse broke out or the difficulty would beseveral layers more.

As Bai Zemin advanced, occasionally groups of zombies formed by several dozens would appear andthere was even a larger group formed by a hundred zombies that had gotten stuck in one of the pathsbut when they sensed his presence they began to attack him. In such cases, Bai Zemin wielded theXuanyuan Sword as he moved in and out of the group of zombies, separating the heads from theirbodies and forming pools of blood.

Even after he filled several two-liter bottles with blood there was still blood everywhere he passed byand the decapitated corpses of the zombies began to accumulate very fast.

On the other hand, while Bai Zemin was having a headache trying to multitask, Lilith was watchingeverything sitting on top of a building.

Her beautiful face had a small smile on it and her lazy eyes looked at the human who occasionallykicked the lifeless corpses to release some frustration.

“Even to me it took me a full year to get used to the existence of Mana back then but you already havean initial idea of how to control it and use it at will… Yet you still have the nerve to complain? Big sisteris really, reeeaaally looking forward to punishing you little Zemin hehe~” She whispered to herselfbefore chuckling secretly.

In the north of the gymnasium, the complete opposite direction from where Bai Zemin and his threesubordinates were currently located, the giant elephant beetle was being dismantled from its shellslowly under the constant efforts of fifty people.

The beetle’s shell was tough to the point that even Bai Zemin wielding his sword that was capable ofpiercing through the defenses of almost any creature below level forty would need time to breakthrough it. However, now that the First Order Blazing Beetle had been dead for several days and itsdefenses had dropped tremendously after Bai Zemin absorbed some of its Soul Power, the shell wasno longer as attached to the flesh as in the past.

Using the hole that Bai Zemin had made the day before when he struck hard using Liang Peng’s heavyhammer and taking advantage of the cracks that extended through the creature’s armor, the survivorsbegan to use knives, iron pipes, and any other object that could be used as leverage.

They lifted the shell slightly and using the small space created, the others quickly cut the flesh, thussplitting the shell apart.

On the ground there was a large pile of metal-like objects already forming a small mountain about ameter high; this was, of course, the remains of the shell that had been successfully pulled off.

As the survivors worked, standing on the third floor of the pharmacy, Wu Yijun, Gao Min, Li Na,Shangguan Bing Xue, Chen He, and Liang Peng looked down. Some of them with curious looks, otherswith indifference, and others inspecting the surroundings just in case.

“So… Do you want to use this monster’s shell to do something special?” Wu Yijun asked whilenarrowing her eyes with a mischievous glint in them.

Shangguan Bing Xue nodded slightly and slowly explained, “During breakfast today, Bai Zemin told meto keep the shell instead of throwing it away since when we leave here he could put it to good use.

Besides we can also use it as metal plates to protect the buses when we clear the exit road.”

“Oh? Bing Xue, could it be that you had some private meeting with him?” Wu Yijun held back laughterand asked in surprise, “At what point did something like that happen?”

“Private meeting?” Shangguan Bing Xue furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head as she said inbewilderment, “No. We only exchanged a couple of words before we went our separate ways, with himgoing south and us going north. But, Yijun, why do you ask that?”

“A-Anyway, that meat sure looks tender and soft!” Chen He suddenly interjected the conversation andpointed to the beetle meat that looked delicious even when uncooked.

The people inside the building looked at him with strange eyes and Shangguan Bing Xue couldn’t helpbut ask, “Chen He, I didn’t know you were a lover of beetle meat.”

Chen He’s face froze and began to blush furiously as he felt as if everyone’s eyes were poking himwhile Shangguan Bing Xue’s words were the final stab.

“Pffft- Ha- Hahaha!” Wu Yijun finally couldn’t hold back the laughter anymore and started laughing whilesaying through tears and laughter, “Chen He, you’re too obvious!”
