Aria and Jerry looked disappointed because they weren't allowed to fight this stage 5 zombie. Alex understands that the three of them are still traumatized by the defeat that happened in Bali and wanted to redeem themselves. However, since Arief was their senior, they naturally had to give in this opportunity and could only sigh regretfully.

The two of them then each walked over to the two hall doors and guard it while Alex guards the back hallway, protecting it from white zombies that are trying to help their leader. With this arrangement, Arief can fight against the stage 5 zombie freely without interruption, giving his best for the redemption.

The golden zombie looked very fierce as it opened its mouth and let out another loud roar. Seeing Arief walking towards it, the zombie was immediately seen taking a deep breath as it directly cast its deadly spell, feeling the dangerous air around Arief.

Golden rays shot out from its body as its energy got higher and higher. Its body exhibited an enormous amount of energy which caused the ground to tremor for several kilometers, startling others who were outside. The zombie then took another deep breath with its mouth as a barrage of fireballs shot out of its mouth, flying fast at Arief.

The memories of their previous fight against a similar stage 5 zombie at Bali Island, when these fireballs could easily destroy dozens of armored tanks, flashed through the 4 people inside the gymnastic hall. Seeing the rapidly approaching fireballs shooting at Arief, Alex and the rest could not help but worry about him.

The barrage of fireballs quickly travelled through the air and hit the area Arief at as explosion after explosion occur on the walls, floors, and ceilings around him.

BOOOOMM!! BOOOOMM!! BOOOOMM!! BOOOOMM!! 

Due to the sheer amount of fireballs and the explosions it caused, debris began to fall into the hall while black smokes rapidly shrouded the hall, obstructing Alex and the rest from seeing what was going on with Arief.

When the debris stopped falling and the smokes started disappearing, they could vaguely see a figure standing still in the middle of the dissipating smoke. A moment later, a tall human figure could be seen standing there firmly as if nothing happened while a silver sheen was seen gleaming on his skin.

[Titanium Body - Tier 3 Metal Spell]

A metal type element spell that makes the user's whole body durable like metal as a silver luster enveloped the entire body, giving them extraordinary defensive capability.

Surprisingly, this tier 3 metal spell managed to endure the full brunt of the stage 5 zombie's fireball barrage.

The golden zombie was stunned when it saw how Arief was unscathed by its attack. Without wasting any more time, Arief immediately let out a loud roar as he used his own technique.

[Ares Strength - Stage 3]

[Increases muscle strength]

[Increases speed]

Not only that, he also cast [Metal Hardening] spell on his [Great Sword - Tier 2 Artifact] as the sharp looking greatsword covered by a bright sheen and shone with brilliance.

Arief then threw his piercing gaze at the golden figure, full of determination as his right foot stomped the hall's floor, causing web-like cracks on it. In an instant, loud sound resounded in the hall as Arief shot towards the stage 5 zombie and struck with tremendous momentum. His figure became faint and shadowy because of how fast he was moving.

When Arief getting closer and closer to the zombie, the two hands gripping the hilt of his sword grew tighter as he readied himself to do an upward slash.

*Clank*

Crisp loud sound like a metal hitting another metal could be heard as Arief's sword hit the stage 5 zombie, leaving only a small wounds on its skin. Seeing the result, he quickly adjust his stance as he gave the golden figure a horizontal slash with his sword. Another small wound appeared on its skin while a frustrated glint flashed briefly in Arief's eyes before being replaced by an even stronger determination.

*Clank* *Clank* *Clank* *Clank*

Sounds of the sword continuously hitting the stage 5 zombie's hard skin echoed in the hall as Arief kept swinging his greatsword at the zombie. The stage 5 zombie who awaken from its stunned state finally realized the situation. It let out an angry roar and immediately counterattacked as it threw its menacing claws at Arief.

Unfortunately, the continuous slashes from Arief's tier 2 sword that had been enhanced by [Ares Strength] and [Metal Hardening] spell were still not enough to penetrate the zombie's body. While on the other hand, the golden zombie's claw strikes could only knock the colonel down but not injure him.

These two golden and silver figures could only continue fighting, hitting and slashing alternately without neither of them being able to seriously injure their opponent. Seeing their stalemate situation and how limited his time was, the colonel decided to use the trump cards Alex gave them to swiftly end this battle.

Blocking a punch coming from the zombie, Arief make use of the punch's momentum to retreat to the back, giving him an opportunity to took out the trump cards. He then immediately took 2 pieces of rolled skin out of his storage ring, the magic scrolls given by Alex.

In a split second, the two scrolls quickly torn apart by Arief's hand as magic runes appeared around him, encompassing his entire body and weapon.

[Fire Infusion] [Wind Walk]

Sparks of fire appeared on the tip of Arief's greatsword as it rapidly engulfed by blazing flames, enhancing its destructive ability. Meanwhile, faint swirls of wind could be seen appearing below Arief's feet as his body surged by raging winds, increasing his movement speed.

Feeling the boost that he had, the colonel dashed forward again towards the stage 5 zombie. Red and green trails could be seen as Arief run at the golden zombie with his swords pointing at it. This time, thanks to the magic scroll's enhancement, he can more easily dodge the zombie's attack and his slashes finally could inflict significant wound. Golden colored blood splashed out of the stage 5 zombie's body every time Arief slashed his swords.

Meanwhile, Alex; Jerry; and Aria who fighting against the white zombies, did not experience any difficulty at all as the white zombies being killed like weeds. Alex even had the leisure to observe Arief's battle against the stage 5 zombie, gauging the limit of their strength.

From the hole in the ceiling caused by the golden zombie attack earlier, a tier 2 zombie tried to jump into the hall.

Aria who noticed the red zombie quickly cast her [Ice Blast - Tier 2 Ice Spell]. The spell casted by Aria immediately froze the red zombie and covered most of the hole at once.

The battle between these two gold and silver figures did not seem to be resolved quickly. Meanwhile, Daisy who took guard outside gave Alex report through the transmitter that the situation outside of the school building is getting harder to control.

Decapitating a white zombie, Alex turned his head towards Arief and shouted.

"I'm sorry, colonel. But your time is up."

At the same time as Alex shouted his words, Arief's next slash finally managed to cut one of the zombie's leg, making it fall to the ground. But just like before, the creature would able to regenerate its legs back to normal in less than 5 seconds. 

Of course, Arief had tried to target the zombie's neck with his slash, beheading it for good, but the damn monster always protected its neck and head with its hands.

Seeing the monster on the ground, Alex immediately took the opportunity.

[Hexagram Technique - stage 4] [Haste] [Fire Infusion]

Alex casted the best of his abilities as his strength shot up and raging flames covered Strokes when the scroll took effect. Just when the monster tried to get back to his feet, Alex was already behind the monster and immediately slashed the tier 5 sword artifact diagonally, cutting the zombie in half. The slash split the zombie at an angle from its right shoulder to its waist, detaching the upper part of its body from its legs.

The two separated zombie body fell to the ground. Even though its body had been split in two, the golden zombie was still able to move and was still trying to regenerate his body. But Alex quickly stepped on its body and stood on it, he then said.

"If you have anything to say, you should speak now. I might spare you." said Alex calmly.

However, the golden zombie only roared like wild beasts

"So be it then."

Alex took one last glance at the golden figure below him as he lifted Strokes in the air and stabbed it into its head. And simultaneously his whole body stopped moving. The zombie's strongest evolutionary monster finally died.
