Level up Zombie

Chapter 286  Facing Carl

The assessment was to take place outside at the back of the manor. Here, there were large fields with plenty of people who were practicing their skills. Since the Dark zombies were quite strong, they didn't want to ruin the place they were staying in.

On top of this, because they used it as a place to train, white chalk had been used on the field to draw a few things that would help them in terms of using their skills. Chalk ladders, points to run to and from, and there was also a circular arena.

It was almost like a sumo ring, but with chalk on the outside. They had made it quite large though; it was far bigger than a boxing ring and bigger than the area that the Zombie hunters had used to fight.

Heading to the area was Dart, along with the newcomers. Seeing them walk through the manor, they had gathered quite a bit of attention and noticed that many of the Dark Zombies were now following them.

"Umm, should we be worried?" Anna asked.

"Ah, what them?" Dart glanced behind him. "Don't worry, what you guys are going through, everyone goes through when they first get here. Carl was one of the first that worked by Humfree's side, and I guess he's just always been that strong.

"Everyone knows that you guys are going to take part in an assessment, so they are curious, of course." Dart explained.

Eventually, they had reached the outside chalk-drawn arena, and there were even more of the Dark Zombies that had surrounded the area, waiting for what was going to happen, and the main star people were there as well.

Humfree, along with his chained Zombies, and Carl himself with his arms folded. It was almost as if he never did unfold his arms unless they were fighting.

"Good morning, everyone. As you all know, we have some unique new members that have recently joined us." Humfree started to explain. Almost instantly when he started to speak, the rest went quiet; there was no need for him to even yell or announce he was going to speak.

"Now, I will warn everyone not to expect too much, as those that have arrived this time are quite different from the usual lot."

Some of the zombies laughed and chuckled because it was clear what Humfree meant by different, but the subject of conversation had moved to Zian.

"Hey, I think I saw that guy... that's the guy that threw that giant spear at the stage 4!"

"Wait, you mean it was the new guy, but I didn't even see him on the field. How did he manage to do that?"

Only a few had seen Zain, but the word was now spreading quite quickly, and they were excited to see what he could do against Carl.

"I will go first!" Kyle announced as he stepped forward. He pulled out one short dagger, placing it in front of him while his fist was relatively close to his face. It was a military style of fighting.

"I will find out what this person can do and try to bring out all of their skills so you guys can better prepare yourselves."

The way Kyle was talking, it was as if he expected to lose, but it was clear as day if anyone saw Carl fighting against the stage 4, and everyone watching thought that as well.

Carl looked around before going up to one of the Zombies, and he reached for their dagger. He pulled it out without saying a word, and then came into the arena, staying in the same stance as Kyle.

He stood there in the center until Kyle made the first move, although the first move was putting it lightly. With his two feet still firmly planted to the ground, he was almost shuffling forward.

Carl was doing the same, imitating him. When he got in the center and was within range, Kyle went to attack. He swung the dagger skillfully, going for the vital points in the neck.

They were swiftly blocked by Carl, but Kyle didn't stop there. He went for the arms next. Then, when he was brought in close, Kyle went to grab Carl's arm and pulled it in.

Twisting his arm around, Carl loosened Kyle's grip before kicking him in the stomach. Kyle fell to the floor and skidded across the grass. He was hurt but not too badly.

The soldier was somewhat expecting his enemy to leap on top of him and finish his attack, but that didn't happen at all.

When Kyle stood up, he was able to reposition himself and go in for the strike again. A similar scene from before played out.

Kyle looked skillful with the dagger and using his hand-to-hand combat, but every time he would get close, Carl would do something to get out of the situation and was able to counter-attack.

It was strange. Although Kyle knew Carl was far stronger than him, in the fight, and everyone else watching, they all felt like Carl was only a little better.

"Well, there are two situations to this scenario. Lowering your skill level so you are only a little better than your opponent will allow us to clearly see how good Kyle is. It seems he was a well-trained soldier.

"But someone can only do this if their skill level is clearly above the other. What's frightening isn't just that, but he's also going toe to toe in dagger and hand-to-hand combat against Kyle, which is the soldier's specialty."

Eventually, Kyle had been kicked and punched too many times. He was exhausted and bruised all over. Meanwhile, Carl hadn't been touched.

"Alright, that's enough!" Humfree said. "The soldier shows good spirit and incredible talent for a human. Welcome to the Dark Zombies!"

Everyone started to cheer in the air as they heard the noise. It was as if they had finally accepted him as one of their own.

"Alright, next up, let's have one of the Zombie hunters, shall we?" Humfree smiled.
