When Alex left with the ones he selected, running across the Cooks River and charging through the zombie hordes, the others, who were stationed at Cooks River, weren't idle either, as they prepared themselves to defend this place against the next zombie horde that seemed endless. The battle quickly continued as another zombie horde crossed the river through the zombie bridge.
On the banks of Cooks River, north of Sydney city's Botany Bay, one could see countless figures of zombie fighting with the fighters who were trying their best to hold their ground. The sheer amount of zombie and fighter corpses filled the Cooks River and its surroundings, making them almost disappear from the landscape.
The person Alex trusted to take care of this battlefield was Theo, a scientist who was also a priest and an old friend.
The reason Alex had let Theo take charge and defend this place wasn't because he was the weakest of those who had followed him to hunt the stage 5 zombie. But rather, it was because Theo was the most suitable fighter to accompany Colonel Angus to defend the river against the zombie hordes.
The first thing he did after he took charge was to heal all the heavily injured fighters in the frontline. Rays of light could be seen around the fighters as Theo consecutively cast his healing spell.
[Healing Ray - Tier 2 Light Spell]
It was a light element spell capable of healing open wounds quickly. Coupled with the natural regeneration ability of Sky realm fighters, these nearly dead fighters were able to escape from death and recover enough to keep fighting.
As a priest, Theo always thought that his purpose in Alex's team was mainly to provide counsel, to tend the fighters' mental health and to be the group healer. The thing he was doing right now was his calling.
However, during the time he was with Alex, Theo was fortunate enough to pick up other abilities too. On top of it, the latest ability that he got was perfect for fighting against multiple enemies.
[Flying Formation]
This was a special ability from Theo's tier 3 sword artifact. This tier 3 sword artifact was in the form of 5 short shorts which could act as one unit. Its user could also control it remotely through their mind which allowed the 5 swords to fly separately and attack the enemy. It was a truly versatile weapon as long as its user's mental capability was strong enough to control this artifact.
This artifact truly complemented Theo's main strength, raising his combat prowess to another level. Even though this short swords artifact was not as strong as the other tier 3 weapon artifacts, its destructiveness was still stronger compared to high caliber bullets.
That was why this tier 3 sword artifact was the perfect weapon to kill the stage 2 and stage 3 zombies, which were the most common on the battlefield. This artifact could easily kill a stage 2 zombie by simply passing through it, directly bisecting the unlucky zombie. This artifact was truly an efficient tool to kill the fodders, especially the stage 3 zombies, which were very difficult to kill due to their regenerative ability, unless you cut off their heads.
These 5 short swords could fly through the air; chasing, twisting, slashing and stabbing the black zombies from unexpected directions, easily killing them.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
The sound of swords tearing through zombies, followed by the sound of several bodies falling to the ground could be heard, as several zombie heads flew through the air, separated from their bodies. Dozens of zombies without their heads could be seen as Theo continued to kill dozens of black zombies every minute.
The only weakness, if it could be counted as one, was Theo's limited ability to control all five swords from a long distance. So, he still needed to advance to the front lines to make the most out of this artifact. He needed his full concentration when he controlled the 5 swords, because the slightest distraction would make him lose control. Due to that very reason, Theo was always accompanied by half a dozen Sky realm fighters, whose job was to protect him from any kind of distraction or danger.
At first, thanks to the Fatahillah destroyer's bombing attack, the area across the river right in front of them was cleared from the sea of zombies, making it conducive for the fighters to take a breath. But within 5 minutes, thousands of zombies completely filled the entire banks of the Cooks River. And within the next 10 minutes, there were tens of thousands of zombies surrounding them. It seemed the zombie wave this time was the biggest of all.
The large numbers of zombies quickly overwhelmed the fighters as they slowly separated from each other and fought their own battle, making the situation in the battlefield turned even more chaotic.
A loud shout could be heard from somewhere near Theo in the sea of zombies.
"Mr Theo, we need to retreat a bit and recreate the defense line! We can not keep going like this!"
Realizing it was Colonel Angus's voice, Theo quickly replied shouting.
"What can I do to help, Colonel?"
"Can you distract them for us? We just need 1 minute to restore the order and formation."
"Alright! I will try my best, Colonel."
"Thank you! I'll do it now!"
Colonel Angus quickly took out a stick-like thing and pulled the wire on it. Immediately, sparks appeared as plumes of green smoke shot out of the smoke flare and soared into the air. Seeing the green smoke that suddenly appeared and rose on the battlefield, the separated fighters quickly approached the smoke location while continuing to fight the zombies. Meanwhile, Theo also shouted to the Sky realm fighters around him.
"You all step back! Hurry! All of you!"
"What about you, Mr Theo?" shouted one of the fighters.
"Just go ahead! I will be right behind you guys."
Since it was the order from Theo who was the platoon leader of their group, all the fighters listened to him and retreated back. In an instant, Theo was immediately surrounded by dozens of red and black zombies that wanted to tear him apart. Theo calmly arranged his sword artifact formation around him and made them move in a circle, slicing every zombie that was approaching him in half.
However, second by second, the rotating sword formation began to be unable to stem the zombies, 5 swords were not enough to hold the never-ending zombies at bay. Theo looked behind to make sure the fighters, who were previously standing guard around him, had retreated.
When he confirmed they had retreated, a faint smile appeared on his face as he stood in the middle of the crowd. Theo pulled back and put the five short swords into his storage ring. The instant he did, all the zombies rushed over to him.
Seeing the rapidly approaching zombies, Theo didn't panic, still with a smile on his face, he calmly placed both hands on his head, as he cast his unique spell.
[Mind Blast - Tier 3 Light Spell]
In a split second, the zombies that were wildly heading towards him froze. And then, all the zombies within a radius of 5 meters around him immediately exploded, shredded into pieces while the others within the next 10 meters radius were thrown backwards and pushed the other zombies outside the radius.
In that one attack, Theo managed to kill dozens of zombies. He then immediately ran towards the newly formed defensive line. Colonel Angus, who was still fighting in the ranks, was completely amazed at the spell Theo just casted.
As they prepared to continue fighting, they suddenly felt a change from these zombies. It seemed they were in a state of confusion and some were even starting to move in different directions.
Confused by the sudden situation, Colonel Angus turned to Theo.
"Mr Theo. W-What just happened here?"
"Looks like they've killed the zombie leader", said Theo with a smile.
"That's great news!" replied Colonel Angus with a happy expression on his face.
Theo smiled looking at the excited Colonel. He glanced at the disorganized zombies and then looked towards the sky with his hands palmed on his chest.
"Praise God, He saves us and delivers us from danger."
"Now is the time to counter attack, Colonel"
Calming his excitement, Colonel Angus replied: "Of course."
He then turned towards the fighters as he shouted: "Let's go, boys! The boss had been taken care of!"
The colonel's shouts encouraged the exhausted fighters, as cries of victory began to sound across the battlefield, reviving their fighting spirit.
While the same thing was also happening at the Sydney Harbor bridge battlefield.
